The above awards were left to the sole
Judgment of Mr.. l.. d. Parker of New
York, secretary of The National associa-
ton of Trotting Horse Breeders. Judging
in premium classes is always a delicate
duty and unsuccessful exhibitors are us
ually disappointed; but it is safe to say
that no set of awards ever created more
widespread dissatisfaction than these of
MIR. Parker's. 1t seems pity that COM
petent judges for Vermont stock are not
10 be found in Vermont. 1t is a great
err pity that some of the officers of this
association cannot get over the idea that
1t is a mere tail to the kite of the National |
association. Mr.. Parker is doubtless well |
posted on the Hambletonan family, but
he evidently sees no merit in the native |
Vermont horses, such as buyers come
from all oyer the country to purchase.
If he did, he would hardly place Tanner
line, that had just won his race and a
faster half-mile record than ever before
made in the State, second to son
OF Homestead, whose trotting powers are
wholly coniectural. The same may be
said of rating Surprise Franklin second
to Castaway. If this sort of thing is to be
repeated, then the name of the association
would better be changed to the Associa-
ton for the Encouragement of Horse
