The annual meeting of the Vermont
Morgan Horse Breeders association was

bee and Il. NJ. Chapman, vice-presidents;
Joseph Battell, treasurer; w. III. Bliss,
secretary; n. A. Randall, assistant
secretary. The progress of registration
in the second volume of the American
Morgan Register, now nearly complete,
was shown by Mr.. Battell to have been
extensive and satisfactory during the
past year. The volume will soon be
ready for distribution. The president
and treasurer was authorized to con-
tribute out of the funds of the associa-
ton sum not exceeding 1925 to any
premium fund to be offered by the State
Fair association for Morgan horses next
season, for horses eligible to registry in

meeting was well attended. II was the
unanimous wish of those present that
such arrangement hereafter might be
made that it would be advantageous to
the State Fair association to hold their
meetings alternate years at Rutland or
Burlington.

The summer excursion of the Maine
Press Association should be made this
year over the new Washington county
railway. Such a trip would certainly be
most pleasant and uld enable us to full
ill duty we owe to our State of making
known its resources aud advantages.
Washington county has long been com
paratvely isolated, reached only by
steamer at che of it's ports the wear
around, and at another during the sum
mel months. One could go to Calais by a
round about railway journey which takes
the traveller into New Brunswick, but
otherwise the old-fashioned stage coach
must be awaited of. The railway now
completed brings Washington county into
close touch with the outer world and
offers new fields for the tourist and the
man of business. The Association might
go to Eastpor+, place Of historic inter-
est, and have head quarters on the ada
cent island of Campobello, where there
are two summer hotels. From here trips
could be made to ST. Andrews and Calais
and to the island of Grand Manan, noted
for its bold scenery. These are details,
however, which could be easily arranged
by the excursion committee The trip
need not include any water travel, but
those who care for it may try their luck
at deep sea fishing. Those who went on
the excursion to Machias in 1890 have not
forgotten the kindness and hospitality of
the people of Washington county, an d
will be glad to see more Of them.

One feature of our review of the year
1898 is very gratifying, and that is the
number of homes built This, with the
prospect of number more being erected
the coming season, is certainly indicative
of local prosperity. The owner Of a home
has stake in the community and will
naturally be solicitious as to its needs and
its advancement. The more homes the
better citizens. May their number con-
tinue to increase.
