after tho "fox," they get excited

short and too trappy destroys boldness

The roadster should always, in my

twice as much work as when kept in
race condition. His walk should be
elastic and rapid and his way of going
should be bold and decisive and some
thing that impresses you with power

of all objects and yet be free in driving,
with plenty of spirit. The horse that

THE NATIONAL MORGAN BREED
Frs ANNUAL MEETING.

The national association of Morgan
Horse Breeders met according to call at
the Sherman House, Chicago, at 10
O'Clock on Monday, the Doth inst. There
was good attendance and much en-
thusiasm was manifested over the sit
uation and the prospects.
The meeting was called especially to
consider proposed changes in the rules
for registration. The whole matter was
carefully canyassed and it was decided
to so modify the registration rules as to
require that after Jan. l, 1897, an ami
NAL to be entitle TO registration must
trace to Justin Morgan through both
sire and dam and must possess at least
one thlrty-second of the blood of Justin
Morgan, instead of one siXty-fourth, as
hitherto. This is the only change
thought best at this time, though it was
suggested that it might be deemed wise,
later, to require that the second dam
also trace to the original Morgan.
The old officers of the association were
reelected. They are President, Joseph
Battell of Ripton, VT; secretary and
treasurer, Delos Dunton of Carpenters
vile, Ill. The report of the treasurer
showed a good balance OF cash on hand.
1t was stated that there would be a
large exhibit of Morgans at the Illinois
State fair, where a full line of premiums
for these horses are offered, and that
next year the managers of the State fairs
of Illinois, Indiana and other western
States would probably offer similar in
ducements to Morgan breeders.
1t is hoped that Morgan breeders in
this part of the country will send tull
exhibits to the Bay State fair at Worces-
ter, Mass, in September and to the Yer
mont Breeders meeting at Rutland next
month.

A NORTHERN VENICE.
SCANDINAVIAN EXPOSITION TO BE
HELD ON AN ISLAND.

A Great Show at Stockholm Next Summer,
Celebrating the Twenty-dfth Year of
King Oscars Reign-Many Novelties, In
Guiding the McGinty Marine Museum.
For more than quarter of a century
the Scandinavian nations-Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark and Finland-have been
talking about holding a great interna-
tional exposition, and Mt last the enter
prise is fairly under way. 1t is TO be held
next summer, beginning in May and last
ing until October. Stockholm, the Venice
of the northland, has been selected as the
exposition city, and there the beautiful
buildings which are to house the exhibits
are being erected
1t was in 1870 that the project was first
suggested and since then it has been the
pet theme of poets, statesmen, the nobility
and the people generally. The four coun-
tries have much in common, including
their descent from the old Norsemen, but
there were many national jealousies to be
smothered before the countries which had
been sometimes allies and partners and
sometimes foes or rivals in war and bust
ness could enter upon so great n scheme in
harmony. But at last this has been effect
ed, and next year for the first time in his
tory, the northland nations will be united
as one in peaceful rivalry for pre-eminence
in the arts, sciences and industries.
1t will be n season of special jubilation
for Norway and Sweden, because their
king, Oscar II, will next year celebrate his
twenty fifth anniversary as ruler Almost
every royal family in Europe will take part
In the jubilee, and there will be a demon
stration such as the ancient capital has
never seen before.
The site for the exposition grounds is a
surprisingly lovely one in itself In the
handsomest part of the parklike suburbs
of this gem city of the Scandinavian pen
insula, with the sea on two sides, will rise
the noble buildings. On one side will be
the sound of the famous Deer Garden park,
and on the other the salt water of the gulf
of Bothnia. This park is really an island
in fact Stockholm is largely made up of
islands-and it was formerly the royal deer
garden, or djurgard, as the name implies,
but it has long since been given over to the
people. The island is two miles long and
in some places is covered with primeval
forests great groves of oak, which are in
tcrscCtCd by shady walks laid out in every
direction. In the center there is Il rocky
eminence from which may be had fine
views Of the city and the hurbor with the
blue Baltic stretching away toward Fin
land in tho distance.
On this island the exposition buildings
are now in course of erection and some arc
already completed There will be two en-
frances, ono from the city by means of q
bridge and the other from the water front
where great quay will accommodate the

thousands of craft which will land there,
for the people Of Stockholm depend almost
as much on waterways for local transpor-
tation as do the Nenctians.
AT the land entrance a broad new boule-
ward will sweep over the Deer Garden
bridge and as it reaches the island will
wind through n vast plaisance laid out in
lawns and flower beds and relieved by
statues and fountains This boulevard
will run clear around the island and will
connect all the buildings. 1t will be crossed
at intervals by broad avenues. AS the
visitor drives through this plaza he first
catches sight OF the picturesque and i'm

features building, with its towers and
domeS. for the Scandinavians like other
Europeans, have Irofited hy the object
lesson in fairmaking which we gave to the
world by our exhibition ut Chicago in s93
and instead c, attempting to show all their
exhibits under one roof they will divide
and classify them and place them in differ
ent buildings This also gives better OPP
portunity for architectural effects
The Manufactures building covers a
space of 300 square feet. 1t will be com
pleted late in the fall The other buildings
are of sufficient size to give IA harmonious
effect to the whole group of buildings.
The Art palace and the Fishery building
are already completed, Machinery hall
will be finished before winter and the re-
manning buildings, such as the Electrical,
Military, Naval, Historical, Mines, Horti-
cultural, Agricultural and Transportation
buildings ana the Northern museum will
be completed before next March
The grounds win be laid out with all
the skin of the landscuTc gardeners art,
and where rature has been so lavish the
least effort will convert the island into n
vcritablc fairyland.
One of the unique features of the OK
position will he the most novel marine
museum ever built. Instead of capturing
the specimens and exhibiting them in glass
tanks, the spectators themselves will be
placed in II glass cage on the bottom of
the sound, with the water outside. This
will be n part of the fishery exhibit, which
is located partly on n small island and
partly in the water Connected with the
Fishery building by submarine passage
will be glass grotto so deep in the water
that the largest ship may sail over it, The
water surrounding it will be brilliantly
lighted by electricity, which will attract
the finny denizens of the deep. Thus the
fish will not only show themselves to the
spectators, but they will be entertained by
viewing the visitors who invade their ele-
ment
In the art exhibition all countries will be
represented, and some of the best works
of the most famous French, Italian, Ger
man, English and American artists will
be shown.
In the United States thousands of Swedes
are planning TO visit Stockholm during
the exhibition. and big excursions are be-
Ing discussed by the members of Swedish
societies. The American Union of Swedish
Singers will send over big delegation, and
besides the societies there will be many in
dividual excursionists.
