Special TO the kEssEBEc JOURNAL.
| WArEKyILLE, Feb 2S-There will be
two prominent arrivals az Sunnyside Farm
today, one the colt Testator, 2 2si, by Die
t.tor Chief out Of Empress. the other the
mare Edna, 2,23! also by Dictator Chief.
Tessator comes from Michigan and Edna
from Indisna.
Saturday the standard bred stallion
Esglewood was sent TO Brown & Dodge Of
Carmel, by whom the horse hxs been lately
purchased. This horse is enc Of the many
hne styled ANIMALS Of SunDyside and will
be an addition to any section OF the country.
Already the horse has many promising
colts which are being watched closely by
prominent buyers.
The many sales that have been made
from Sunbyslde of late have attracted con-
siderable attention, and no few conf jeclures
have been made as TO the cause.
These sales sre msde to reduce the labor
Of the farm. Mr.. Nelson finds that the
c sres Of his position as owHer Of such a
m ul,i,ude Of fac bluCded animals is more
than be can attend TO.
He will consequently reduce the work at
the farm by selling q portion Of the stock
and give his attention to breeding higher
class Of stock, raising The standard Of his
farm to still higher mark than it already
has reached.
10 conversation with the Journal man
Mr. Nelson ssd, 1T is through 30 lack of
demand tha. am selling these horses but
rather from an over demsnd if l may use
the expression, Consequently have de-
eided to raise my standard; make less sales
but st higher prices.
There is not much call III there days for
the common horse. | believe 10 breeding
a h gher class and take better care of the
animsls."
Speaking Of the mare Elna, that will
arrive today, Mr.. Nelson said, 'l'll have
her record down to 2 20 at the end Of the
SEASON."

suited as follows: Mrs. Stone, 40: Rev. Anna

candidates. Mrs. Stone tried to withdraw. and
there was more controversy. After long dis
cusslon the scattering votes OF the first ballot
went to Miss Shaw and she was elected. The
corresponding secretary, Rachel Foster Avery,
and recording secretary. Alice Stone Black
well, were reelected. Mrs. Jane Spofford has
been treasurer Tor years, and she was also
chosen to succeed herself. Mrs. Upton and
MIR. Dudley Ffouike were chosen auditors.

ton.
