 A patriotic enthusiasm for our great national anniversary cannot fail to be of benefit to the people in everyway. It will educate the children and make them happy. The glorious Fourth without some organized demonstration is a lone. ly and dangerous day for young America.

 In offering the use of Sargent to the breed ing public for the above low ice for 1894, we do so with the knowledge that times are bad, and money scarce, but we do not expect to af ter this year for any such money. We also venture to assert that it will be impossible to find another horse in Connecticut that is from such 8 great sire as Alcantara, out of dam in him as a trofter, and in form, for several times the fee we ask. Sargent obtained his record in the fall of 1893, after n season of many acct therefore nothing like his limit. We expect him to obtain a record in 1891 of Rf least 2.20 E. 3.
