The Revenue Stamps.

The only people who are complaining
about the revenue stamps now are the
druggists and they will continue to COM
plain until they get them. The clerks
have to keep an account OF every pro-
prietary remedy that they sell so as to be
able to pay the war tax when the stamps
arrive.
Collector Wood has written a letter to
a St. Johnsbury cashier in which he seys
that all orders drawn by the town, vii
lage and school officers do not have to
have a revenue stamp as by section II of
the act they are exempt from taxation,
being purely municipal business. This is
in accord with the following notice
which was sent to State Treasurer Field
by the commissions oil internal revenue:
I'm the opinion of this office neither
the orders, vouchers or receipts to which
you refer, o the bank checks issued by
the state treasurer in payment thereof
are subject to stamp tax under the act
OF June ID, 1898, as they are issued under
the laws OF the state and in the exercise
only OF functions strictly belonging to
the state in its ordinary governmental
capacity, within the meaning OF the ex-
empting provision of section II Of this
act"

Horses at the Fair Ground.

Visitors to the Fair Ground these days
will have a chance to see some fine strings
Of horses, a number of promising ones
and in Corbett the finest horse that
Golden ever sired.
The well.known trainer, A. D. Osgood,
has about a dozen horses in his care. A
fast horse is Fred W. Emery's Savena.
2.24A, who trotted the mile last Friday
in 2.25 in handsome style. Frank w.
Carr has a green mare in Mr.. Osgood's
hands that ought to be good for 2.25
and Clayton V. Perry's brown mare is
very promising and has been driven in
2 % this season. Robert Cobb and ]. c.
Gray both bought western horses within
a year and expect great things from
them. MI. Potter is driving Mr.. Gray's
PAGER and Mr.. Gray says there is no limit
to her speed. Napoleon Richards finds
time through the week to exercise on the
track Irene, a handsome black four-year-
old, and when the representative of the
CALIFORNIAN visited the track Friday he
was holding the ribbons behind his
brothers. four-year-old bay mare.
George c. Cary has a good string of
speedy horses there, but some of them
are in the circuit now. His string in
cludes Ada P, 2 1874, Lady Lee, 2.19A
and Alietha, 2.25A. Besides all these
Mr.. Osgood is handling two from Rye
gate and another from Montpelier.
Herbert E. Moore's Corbett is the
bright star in the galaxy of trotters there
and unless all signs fail good judges pre-
dict that he will get a mark under 2.10
before the IA is over. His record is
2.21A, but at Dover last fall he finished
close second in a race that was won in
PIP. Corbett's action is much improved
over last season and he has not made a
break on the track this year. Mr.. Moore
is handling him now and on Friday he
made the third mile in 2 25A. Corbett
has been a half this season in LOG and
will open the circuit in Dover and be
driven by Mr.. Ball who handled him so
successfully last year.
Tuesday and Friday afternoons are the
times when most of the horses may be
seen on the track and if anyone can spare
the time he will find much pleasure in
visiting the Fair Ground on one of these
days.
