This exhibit of sixteen Morgan stall
lions, all conspicuous for style and beau
ty, was one of the most attractive fea-
lures of the meeting. The Judges ex-
pressed great hesitation in awarding the
premiums, and would have been glad had
there been more to offer.
This is the first time that the associa-
ton has given premiums extensively. It
cannot be said that the experiment at the
present meeting has been fiatterng sue
cess. In the first place, it is objected thai
; the classification was faulty in the ex
IRENE. 1t is urged that Vermont breed
ers are not striving to produce speed
alone, but that in their market the quail
ties of style, beauty, intelligence, hardi
ness and cheerfulness on the road are o
as much value as speed and that there
60 IL 70. afI,or
. stations four years old and under stand
ard-bred alone, to the exclusion of al
others. 1t is suggested with some fore
. that this association is able to stand Of
its own merits and ought not to be gov
; erned by Mr.. Wallace and his time-stand
ard clique that seek to rule the world il
the matter of horse-breeding according t
their own peculiar notions and for tn
: benefit of their own peculiar pocket;
/, The fact is pointed at that the premium
:, at this meeting have been awarded yer
largely to the get of young and untrie
sires to the exclusion of those whose &C
have been winning the races.
II In the Morgan premium neither Wild
n Awake, taker of the first, nor st. Julier
taker of the second premium, is standard
bred; neither is the sire of Wide Awak
q standard by breeding; and it is elaine
that it is not expedient to expend none
for the express purpose of discouragn
the breeding in Vermont of such stallion
|, as Allen, Wide Awake and st. JulieI
:. The majority of Vermont breeders are il
, terested in producing typical Vernon
horses-a type that has been famous 70
i seventy years. They tell us that buyer
: do not come here for the purpose of fine
ing standardized stations, but that TIL
call is for inbred Morgans which are d.
sired for outcrosses the country owe
!, and that while the efforts of those VIII
!. bring in fashionably-b sires are higl
ly commendable, they should not be ell
couraged at the expense and to the detr
J. ment of those who choose to breed natiy
Y stock They tell US fur Their that it is in
possible to find committee that is so III
BIASED as to be able fairly to award b.
! tween Hambletonian and Morgan stock
" that every horseman, capable of actin
on such committee, has his conviction
E in favor of the one or the other family
! and that his awards will in all honest
follow his convictions. These sugge
D.: lions are worthy of serious consideration
