Hard Work to Keep Run OF Them.
It requiresa good deal of attention and no
small amount Of space, to keep run of all the
good horses that are constantly being heard
from 10 different parts Of the State; and
even with this care we have no doubt that
many get overlooked entirely and some not
adequately noticed Our aim is to do jus
tee 70 all. We are pledged to no faForite
horse, family Of horses, OF breeder, bat
recognize good one wherever kept Or by
shomsoever owned And really, if this
great breeding interest is to continue We
seriously question whether Maine will not
soon need weekly, instead Of as now,
monthly Journal devoted wholly to horses.
