NOTES ON STYLES.

Many Novelties of Color and Form in
Spring Fashions.
Feathers Of q dark color are being used
as a heaa dress with gowns of color.
Passementerie is becoming more popu-
lar daily for trimmings on plain dresses.
Large and gay colored plaids are being
much worn.
A pretty spring jacket has a yoke with
full back and fronts. This is quite a
change from the former close fitting
styles.
A dressy summer bonnet has Just APP
peared. 1t Is in shape much like Pers-
ian cap and when made with painted
green velvet crown, with two rolls of
green velvet with roll of red between,
running around the crown it is essentially
so. The decorations are green bows and
wall flowers.
The Spanish or Zouave jacket is now
considered quite Indispensable and is being
made separate from gowns and of differ
emit materials.
The newest princess gowns are being
made with invisible fastening, and it is
almost impossible to discover how the
dress is closed
1t is no longer fashionable to perfume
| the handkerchief.
The small honnets and toQues have
strings of narrow black velvet ribbon in
the back, and entwined with the knot are
| buds and leaves peeping out.
The divided skirt has at last been given
an acknowledged place in fashion. and
| the pettic0at is seldom used.
Crescents. aigrettes, wings and ears of
corn are among the designs of the orna-
ments used in millinery.
A beautiful bonnet is made of brier
roses and hawthorn. with aigrettes of
light green foliage. The strings are either
black or green velvet.
A natU Dorfofopra nrloxra hoo oil r..
rows of kid ana Val lace from the wrist to

Butterfly millinery is all the rage. But
terfiies of black lace are spread over the
crowns OF bonnets and hats.
The embroidered chambery pattern
dresses are most effective.
Yellow is seen in a great variety of
TINS and vies with violet for popularity.
ManUles for summer wear are being
made in visite shape, and resemble a
high corsage, with sleeves an exagger-
ated heIghth and length.
All walking costumes are made without
separate jacket or mantle on account of
the high pulled sleeves.
Styles for little children resemble more
than ever those OF the days of their
grandmothers, and the quainter the COS
tune the more fashionable.
Flounces of Chantilly tulle are hand
somely decorated by sewing on applique
black velvet leaves or other ornaments.
Linen collars and cuffs are again coming
i'll style. They have the corners turned
back and narrow open hem.
Black stockings arc again worn with
any toilette. II not black, then the stock
ings should match the gown. Open
work, lacey patterns, or silk embroidered
stockings are to be worn with low cut
shoes.
Handsome broad belt buckles are now
being seen in many novel designs. all set
with rich jewels.
Brooches of the latest fancy have hang
ing from them fine chain, attached 10
which is a small watch.
Evening gowns have accordion pleated
TUNES and corsages.

THE MORGAN REGISTER.

A Register intended to include all stations of
merit that trace in direct male line to Justin
Morgan and having Mt least one sixty.fourth
OF his blood. All such stations foaled in or
before 1850 are admitted free. A fee of one
dollar is charged tor registering each stallion
foaled since 1880, and for each mare whenever
foaled. All mares are eligible that have the
descent and Inheritance above prescribed Tor
stations. The first volume, the final sheets
OF which are now being revised tor the press,
will contain about four thousand pedgrees,
carefully compiled from original sources, II
sketch of the origin and history of the great
Morgan family, and much other new and orig
inal matter. The book will be illustrated with
portraits of Morgan horses, and handsomely
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed, but will be us low as can be afforded, so
that the work may be widely distributed.
The work has been done throughout on the
plan of first exhaustng all practicable means
OF getting ana verifying information, discrim-
mating rigidly between what is known and
what is unknown, and setting down nothing
as ascertained which is in doubt. sources OF
information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work for
himself. Full descriptions of the animals reg
istered will be given, and tables showing the
merits of the Morgans, as compared with 9th.

the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received tor a short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

THOROUGHBRED BLOOD IN THE
TROTTER.

Mr.. L. Brodhead, the we'll known
superintendent of WOODBURY. Farm, Ken
lucky. in reply to some statements
made by the somewhat visionary azure
Illus, writes as follows concerning the
much discussed question of ''thorough-
bred blood in the trotter," which we
clip from the kentucky Stock Farm:
The original idea of breeding thor
oughbred mares to trotting stations was
to breed fillies for brood mares, and
build pedigrees with thoroughbred foun-
datIons to them. These fillies were bred
young to our trotting stations. thus
getting two trotting crosses on thor
oughbred foundation. There was no
expectation of getting phenomenal speed
from the first cross. and no effort was
made to develop what speed they had.
As we have what we bred to get, we
have no idea of going back to what was
first principles, and breeding all of our
thoroughbred mares to trOtting stations.
have never advocated the thorough
bred to this extent. | have merely
shown, and that concusively, that the
thoroughbred as foundation is a de-
cided advantage in a trotting pedigree,
and it is a great loss to the public gen
orally that there were not more fortunes
lost in the past in such experiments as
WOODBURY. made. | have no idea of
going out of the present established
lines of what we know are trotting lines,
but | shall have a decided preference
for pedigrees that have the thorough
bred. As an illustratian, | bred Russia
SISTER to Maud s. to Axtell. These are
established trotting pedigrees, but both
are indebted for existence to the list
that Aurelius holds up to public scorn
as an illustration of the failure to pro-
duce trotters from thoroughbred infu-
sion. 1t is strange coincidence that
'Barilla, one of the thoroughbred
failures in the table, was the dam of
Mambrno Royal, the sire of Axtell's
grandam. That was an unfortunate
table for Aurelius. But for the fail
ures' he enumerates, there would be no
Axtell, no Jay-Eye-See, no Maud s.,
no Favonia, and if the list had been ex-
tended to include all similar cases, no
Sunol, no Palo Alto. Just think of it.
Aurelus complies "a table to show how
foolish WOODBURY. was to ever breed
thoroughbred mare to trotting stall
lion. If the thoroughbred mares in this
table had not been bred to trotting stall
lions the fastest trotting mare, stallion
and gelding in our history could not
have existed. They were the fastest be-
cause the thoroughbred mares in that
list gave them the ability to carry their
speed. have no hesitation in accepting
Aurelius' banter, and stating that the
thoroughbred is much gamer horse
than the trotter, especially those strictly
trOttlngbred. l haye had over twenty

years practical experience with both
kinds of horses. We have used thor
oughbreds on the pillow, the carriage and
under saddle, and Invariably they were
gamer than animals used for the same
purpose that had not the thoroughbred
cross. A mule whose dam is highly
bred will outwear several whose dams
are not. They are better in every par
ticular. The draft horse, whose dam
is thoroughbred, is gamer than the
pure-bred. The trotters that we have
had with thoroughbred blood were gam
er than those without it. So by erperi-
ence we have found that the thorough
bred has improved the staying quality
of every breed we have crossed him with.
Both experience and observation, neither
limited, have led me to esteem the thor
oughbred as the gamest type of horse
yet bred, and doubt if there are many
horsemen that will not agree with me-"

Holmes Black Hawk, black with star,
two white hind rasterns, 143 hands,
1000 lbs; foaed about 1917, was bred
by Black Hawk, son of Sherman Morgan,
dam untraced, but at one time was used
on the Erie canal. He was taken to Te-
cumsah, Mich, by Israel Howard, who
sold him to Leonard Dean, Girard,
Mich, whose property he died August,
1882. He got the dam of Thatcher's
Hambletonian, and Magma Charta, Jr.,
as well as grandam of Jack.
The dam of Andrus' Hamiltonian was
a small bay mare of Morgan pattern said
to he Dutch, and the dam of Judson's
Hamiltonan is said to have been by a
horse of English blood called Spectator.
1t appears, then. that Jack traces once
in direct male line TO Hambletonian, son
of Abdallah. and carries one-eghteenth
ported Bellfounder, with three thirty
seconds of his blood. Through his dam
he traces to the great Morgan sire of
speed and stamina, Magma Charta, carry
ing one-fourth of his blood, and through
his second dam he traces direct to the
greater Morgan sire of speed and stamina,
Black Hawk, of whose blood he has one
sixteenth. This Morgan blood, too, is
largely reinforced by that of the Morgan
horse Pilot, through his sire, Pilot Me-
dium. Certainly the Morgan showing in
Jack, the greatest of race horses now on
the turf, is very conspicuous.
The dam OF raio Alto. vino 50 closely
fought out this race with Jack, was a
thoroughbred mare: Palo Alto himself
by Electioneer. son of Hambletonian.
The dam of Electioneer descends from
Henr: Clay, whose dam. Lady Surrey,

shire.

HOGARTH.

1t has been much discussed question
in the past, whether the running horse
! lIogarth, imported into Maine many
years ago, left any stock in the State,
In our first volume Noted Maine Horses
may be found two animals which it is
claimed trace to him. One, the stallion
Young llogarth. sire OF the dam of Ano-
dyne, , -, and the other, Black Topsy,
dam of the somewhat noted horse Mon
ogram, by Mambrino Pilot and sire of
Old Maid, trial 2:2l. Iogarth was i'm
ported for racing purposes, and won a
famous race on the ice, on kennebec, IN
the old days, He died suddenly early
the next spring and never made season
here, and the late Hiram Reed of Angus
ia, well posted horseman of the old
school, has always expressed himself as
confident that the horse left no stock
here. In opposition to this came the
statement that the late Mr.. Toothaker
of Phillips, Me-, was reported as saying
that at the time of the above race he
was in the Legislature at Augusta, and
was an eye witness. The horse so i'm
pressed him that he took fine mare
he had to the horse and she was serv-
ed, and produced in due time a stall
lion colt, by which the sire of
the dam of Anodyne, and Black
Topsy were got. After Black Topsy
was sold by Maj. p. c. Bradford, then of
Winthrop, to Mr.. Runkle of New York.
and sent to Philadelphia and bred to
Relf's Mambrino Pilot, the question of
the breeding of the mare came up, and
Maj. Bradford went to Phillips and inter-
viewed Mr.. roothaker, who was then
living, and In substance as above Mr..
Toothaker relates the story Of breeding

his mare to Hogarth, adding many de-
tails and incidents connected with it.
In recent conversation Mai. Bradford
related the circumstances of his visit to
Mr.. Toothaker, and says that If he ever
saw truth and candor exhibited by any
one, it was by Mr.. Toothaker in relating
the above story, the truth of which Mai.
Bradford does hot in the least doubt.
This story, told so straight and circum-
stantially by reliable parties, should to
our thinking remove all doubts in regard
to the matter if there has been any.
