nette called the meeting to order and
delivered the opening address, giving a
short description of his Morgan stallion
Frank, p years old. which has carried
him in his practice over l25 600 miles.
These remarks were followed by others
from venerable old gentlemen. who
evidenced that their experience with the
Morgans had not been limited in dealing
with the intelligence, beauty of style and
endurance possessed by this remarkable
family. After further discussion, a ON
mittee of five was appointed TO draft Il
constitution and bylaws for "A State

constitution provides, among other
things. that the meetings of the society

Those interested in the Morgan breed of

From the Breederand Sportsman, san Fran.

There is a disposition to charge soft
ness to the descendants of St. Clair,
though the accusation is not based on
grounds which prove it to be true be-
yond question. Some time ago we al
lu1ed to the great performance of Lady
st. Clair, but, at the time of writing, did
not have data before US to make a de-
finite statement. She commenced her
career on the tracks May 18th, 1870,
and was withdrawn April eth, 1877. She
won twent, -four races during that time,
and on December 1lth, 1874, she paced
five miles to wagon in y :544. This Is
81 seconds faster than the fastest record,
either trotting or pacing, for the dis
lance, and when the friction incidental
to four wheels is taken into consideration,
is worthy of a high place in the calendar.
When Mayflower and Mayhy were
trotting they were loaded down with
heavy shoes and toe-weights, and. not
w~ithstanding these retarding incum-
brances, performed satisfactorily. In
the construction of the Central Pacific
railway the St. Glars showed such ca
pacity for enduring continual hard work
that the purchasing agent gave a higher
price for them than was paid for the
same class of horses of other breeds,
and they were prime favorites in livery
stables. That there was good blood
in St. Clair we are fully satisfied. Lady
st. Clair was more than ordinarily
"bloodlike" and a majority of the stocl
that we have seen give evidence of roya
lineage.

Mrs Phebe Fairchild.

Quietly and calmly, with no moan OF
pain or sorrow, she sank into her long
sleep, at the ripe old age of 80.
She was born in what was then known
as 'sI'he Butternuts,' New York State,
July 10, 1905. When three years old,
her father, Mr. Richard d. Shepard, came
to Connecticut and soon settled in Dodg-
ingtown district, Newtown, where he
bought the place and built the house now
occupied by Mr. James Barnum. Janu-
airy %, 1927, Miss Phebe Shepard mar
ried Mr. Joseph Bennett Fairchild OF
Taunton and lived there, in Redding and
in other places, before coming to New
town Street. Mr. Fairchild died several
years ago. After his death, Mrs Fair
child remained at the home in Newtown
Street, one son, Elmer W., who lived at
home, carrying on the farm. Her sister,
Mrs Susan Chapman, has also been with
her for some years.
Mrs Fairchild had always enjoyed eX-
cellent health and even the ailments and
infirmities of old age scarce could keep
her from her place in the household. But
at last, when disease had fastened its
hold upon her and refused to be shaken
off, she was forced to resign her work ;
yet still, with undated spirit, she strove
| to keep up and was 10th to take her bed.
About a month ago, however, the dis
ease (dropsy about the heart) assumed
such strength that she could not move
about nor even sit up. She suffered little
pain, but gradually lost the use of her
limbs and was also troubled with short
ness of breath. While sleeping, her
mind had been somewhat Eighty, due,
probably, to the medicine she had taken
but her memory was good and she spoke
clearly and Understandings when
awake.
No noticeable change had taken place,
Monday morning, until she put up her
hands as if to turn over, then ceased
breathing, quietly and peacefully.
| OF her seven children, four are living

Esther J. Merritt of Chicago; Henry W.
