Bonner for the then unheard-of price of
$500 the whole country was electri-
fled and went wild over Il e new family
of trotters. If merit is measured by the
rate of speed the number of performers
horse produces, then by the records
Hambletonian far overshadowed his
popular rival Ethan Alen,the standard
bearer of the Morgan family. Ethan
Allen sired six trotters, the fastest being
Billy Barr 2:23a; Hambetonian pro-
duced forty trotters with Dexter 2:l74
at the head; Hambletonian produced one
hundred and thrty-nine sires, Ethan
Allen nineteen; Hambletonian sired
slxty-nlne producing daughters, while
Ethan Allen sired fourteen. Therefore,
on the basis of speed production in the
first and second generations, the Ham
bletonians Justly belong to the survival
of the fittest. But because Hambleton-
ian surpassed Ethan Allen as the sire of
speed and the progenitor of producing
sires and dams, it does not necessarily
follow but what the Morgan blood is
potent factor in producing trotters. In
fact the records show that the Morgan
blood commingles in the veins of many
fast performers and as producer of
speed the Morgan family have many
brilliant representatives to their credit.
The great eastern champion, Nelson 2:lO,
had for a grandam a daughter of YER
mont Black Hawk The wonderful
sidewheeler, Westmont 2:l3i and 2:0l4
with running mate, was out of Annie
by Cottrill Morgan. Jack, 2 ~, the best
performer by Pilot Medium, was out of
Carrie Russell by Magma Charta, son of
Morgan Eagle. The most conspicuous
performer of the Morgan family is Lord
Clinton 2:lO4 by Denning Allen, son of
Honest Allen by Ethan Allen, Denning
Aliens dam being by Wards Flying
Cloud, son of Vermont Black Hawk, and
Honest Aliens dam a daughter of the
Brooks Horse, son of Sherman Morgan.
sire of Vermont Black Hawk. Lord
Clinton's sire and grandsre were both
inbred Morgans and his controlling
speed Inheritance comes through this
prepotent blood. The Daniel Lambert
branch of the Morgan family is one of
great popularity and intrinsic merit and
in the modern strife for speed alone the
Morgan blood has uniustly been neglect
ed. They have by the demands of the
market been bred away from the origi-
nal type, there being large increase in
size, without diminishing their renowned
road qualities for which the family is so
/ Justly celebrated. An infusion of the
blood of the best specimen Morgans is
conceded by many breeders to be the
surest way to raise the standard of our
horses, as their ability to transmit the
characteristics of the breed is not sur
passed by any family of light harness
horses, while the horsemen of the pres
ent day are everywhere awakening to
the trancendent ability of the Morgan
as an ideal harness performer. 1t Is
gratifying, that in the interests of i'm
proving the breed of American roadsters,
there is such widespread, organized and
unanimous action among the breeders
to exhibit the best specimens of the
tribe at the Worlds Columbian expo
sition.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM FAIR.

The ladies who have the fair in charge
desire to call especial attention to the fol-
lowing rule: mo plant or cut bloom will
receive ii premium unless owned by the
exhibitor sixty days before exhibition. :"
Der il will be easily seen that in order to
enter the list plants must be in possession
of exhibitors at once The florists Of the
city are entering very heartily into prepar-
tons for the coming exhibit, all seeming
anxious to aid in making the fair grand
success. They have gone to mnch trouble
and expense to secure many fine and rare
chrysanthemums, specimens of which
can be purchased at uery rea-
sonable prices The chrysanthemum
is one of the very easiest plants to grow,
especially if purchased from florists after
they have done all the starting, potting.
etc After this the plant needs only to be
well watered, using ammonia, or manure
water, occasionally. When the buds begin
to show, care must be taken TO remove
many OF them. in order to make the others
finer in quality. No branch should be
allowed to carry more than one bud. With
frequent showeriugs and care in removing
insects fine blooms can be easily prod uced,
even by inexperienced persons.
Shall there not be general effort made
towards having, in November, one of the
finest flower shows in the country?
This fall especial attention is to
be paid to the specimens of seedlings.
Why should not Wichita have the
honor of being first in rank? True, times
are hard aud people distressed, but flowers
cost so little beside care and attention. A
few nickels saved from some luxury. and
little time from some other pleasure will
give us flowers to brighten and bless not
only our own lives but others as well. 1t
is noped'tEat each member of Hypatia will
have at least one plant at the fair, and
that many others who have not seriously
thought of the matter before, will do so
now, and il they have 40 chrysaathemums
proceed at once to buy some. Remember
the sixty days limit is almost past. For
any information, help or suggestions ad

SCHOOL EXAMINArloNs A HuMBuG.

Examinations are largely misleading
and, generally speaking, defeat the object
for which they were originally instituted
and tor which they are kept up. This is
true ms to teachers even. Even person.
scholar or teacher. OF technical memory
and such az one will pass satisfactory
examination where a more competent and
better in formed individual, whose techni-
cal memory is at fault, will utterly fail.
The teacher who can stand the best ex-
animation IS not by any means the best or
n, ost competent educator. The scholar of
any school who knows the most is not the
one who can pass the best examination.
Like the 'tardy bell, examinations"
must go sooner or later. The abolition in
the Cleveland public schools Of examine
tions and the substitution OF monthly
ranking system based upon actual
work are attra citing wide attention.
Utica took step in the same direction
last spring, when the public examinations
were omitted in the ward schools. The
Observer, of that city, recommends tdat
the Cleveland system hs adopted BIZ its
own trustees This bold move" il
saws, would seem TO be in the nature OF a
reform that may well be extended 10 every
school in the land. The old system Of
school exau!nstiops long ago outlived its
usefulness. and there is nothing TO be
gained by continuing it, In the first place,
ii consumes deal of time ;hat might better
be devoted to the everyday study OF les
