astonished women, because of a cer-

from their green condition and fitted

$2,150. 1t is an unquestioned fact
that John Utton has fitted more
horse flesh that has brought better
figures in their sale than any trainer
in northern Vermont. These have
gone, but his stables are more than
full of good ones.
