II May Be Sometime.

Spirit of the Hub: Now they are
looking down in Maine for a stallion to
eclipse Nelson's mark of 209. That is
all right: you will have him. boys, one
of these days, he is bound to come, but
you will wait good many years before
you find one to go over Rigby and take
up clod of clay weighing over n
pound at every stride. That is what
Nelson did when he made his imperish
able record. You will wait longer be-
fore you breed one to pull high wheel
sulky in 30. Don't get discouraged,
boys, you will raise some good horses
in the meantime.

YEAR or TREE-PLANTING.

The first annual report of the Tree Planting AS
soc,ation of New-York City given out by the
soors,arv of the association Park Commissioner
w A. Stiles yesterday. 1t is as follows
The Tree Planting Association has been organ
lied lust one year. within which time l49 members
have ioined IL and a beginning has been made In
the planting OF trees In consequence of the cir
culars that have been issued and OF the notices
that have appeared in the newspapers rs re-
quests have been received by mail for information
on the subject OF tree planting from the general
public many asking for several duplicates.
Reports from the nurserymen show that 52 trees
have been planted, and doubtless others of which
the association has not been notified. The selection
Of the proper tree for each locality depends so
much on various conditions that II viii be safe for
the Intending treep planter to consult with and fol
low the advice Of the nurserymen with whom he
places his order
IL is gratifying to find much interest taken
in the subject by citizens generally and by the
press who almost without exception recognize the
advantages and fay or the work of the association
and have done much TO forward the plan and 10
encourage the project.
