couraged by its yearly increasing men,
bership; by the steadily growing inter-
est in the breeding of the trotter and
pacer-the driving horse par excellence
of the WOrld-in the state. as shown by
the many and valuable importations of
breeding animals made the past few
years; and particularly by the success of
its organization in the past in securing
large and steadily increasing nomina-
lions to the stakes opened by it, to-
gether with the creation of generous
spirit of rivalry which is lead
ing to a more thorough and in
telligent application of breeding
rules and better system of develop
ment of stock bred by members, takes
pleasure in inviting attention to its pro-
gramme for 1889. In presenting this
programme it is not deemed necessary
to attempt any defense of, or argument
in favor of, the objects of the associa-
tiOn-the manifold benefits resulting
from such an organization of persons
interested in this important line of
breeding in the state being so apparent,
so convincing, that only the willfully
blind can fail to appreciate and acknowl
edge them. 1t is, therefore, only neces-
sary to say that in the matter of stakes,
and the general affairs of the aSsocia-
ton, the greatest good to members,
through liberal encouragement of
their breeding operations, has been and
will continue to be the aim of the
management: and then present the pro-
gramme for 1889, with the rules to gov
ern the same.
