SILVER LAKE.

-
A subscriber to the Chelsea Herald
congratulates your Barnard correspondent
on his preserved faculties. What solaee,
10 know that you are not fading-stlil
fading. Give US air.
The oldest man never knew so good
grass in Barnard in the month OF May as
can be seen this year. Many places would
now cut a good swath. Some corn helds
are ready to weed and fruit trees are loaded
with blossoms. There is every prospect OF
a bountiful year. A drive out the North
End will convince any man that We live in
a beautiful country. II seems almost as
though the seasons had changed IN the
late wears We well remember when it
Was said that farmer ought to be through
planting at June training which always
came ON the first Tuesday. This year he
might 90 to haying at the same time he
used to be putting in seed There seems
to be no fear of early frost and corn is sure
TO get ripe Vermont is grand old state.
Nothing disturbs its equanimity but local
option and thoughts of the next state
ticket. Even runaway Silver Lake would
have a short memory.
The rains OF last week raised the water
in Silver Lake two inches above its highest
mark. Probably more than twice the
amount of water is pent up between these
hills than ever before in the worlds
history. Still the people living along
down the line 90 to bed early, enjoying the
sleep OF the Just. An effort was made TO
turn the waste gate at the bottom OF the
dam, but without effect. j am inclined 10
think if this gate was to be opened now az
full head, one OF the greatest disaster IN
Vermont would follow The pressure OF
this body OF deep water could it lind vent,
would crush the old wooden aqueduct
like an egg shell and no power on earth
could stop the destruction IL IS the
intention OF Mr.. Cushing, when the town
gets ready, to put in large steel outlet
with a patent gate which can be easily
handled and then the waters OF this lake
can be managed with no risk whatever.
All agree that surface water has but little
force, and as long as the road over the
dam is kept high and dry no particular
danger Is expected, and the inha bitants
who are worried about high water must
wait patiently for the sun to evaporate
what was once called stebbins' pond.
OLD HOME WEEK.
The mass meeting called at the town
hall Saturday, the 25th, was not so well
attended on account Of the rain as one
might wish, but what it lacked IN quantity
was made up in quality. Some spirited |
remarks were made in regard 20 organ
ization and expenses, but nothing definite
was done.
Judge Howard was not very enthusiastic,
said he didn't care to take a prominent
part, but would serve on the committee OF |
Introduction as he remem bered most OF
those who had left Barnard having had
business relations with them.
The meeting adjourned for one week to |
complete the business.
Barnard is not noted for rushing head |
long into any new proposition unless II Is |
a horse race on the ice. Then delays are |
dangerous on account Of frequent snow
storms. Now we are not looking for |
much snow until after Old Home Week.
HORSE NOTES.
A Pennsylvania horse man was in
Barnard last week looking for Bradlaugh /
PAGERS. He found the goods all right but |
The prices seemed to him too high and he |
went away without buying.
When man starts out to look up fast |
colt, either at a trot or pace, in any town
or state, he must take along we'll filled
pocket book or be obliged to go home
without his horse.
Good speedy prospects were never in
better demand than at the present time
and never as many horses in training at
different tracks. All this is accounted for
by the fact that almost every city or large
town has driving clubs and matinee races.
Surely the horse is not passing just yet.
In the Chicago Horse Review Of May q
is an article headed Old Tinnie B.
Tinnie b, 2.27i, dam of Howard l., 2.201,
Danforth's Tinnie c, 2.26b, Timbrel 211l,
etc, dropped a FLY May 2 TO son Of
Onward. Her history is worthy of
mention. She was sired in Maine by
Black Pilot, 2.30, by Roscoe, by Pilot Jr.
dam by Swigert's Lexington. Black
Pilot sired Pilot Knox, 2.19l; Tinnie 3,
2.27f; Centurion, 2.17l; Young Pilot, 2.22;
Tixie, 2.29 and others. The dam of
Tinnie B was Cooney, by Stewart Morgan.
She is also in the great brood mare list,
having produced two with records in 2.27b.
(Remember, please, that these marks were
made years ago TO old style high wheel
sulkies, before later improvements and
appliances for making fast time were
invented, and hence were handicapped
from five to eight seconds in every
instance) Tinnie b was bought at the
close OF race in Boston by Maj. Hopkins
of LeClaire, Mich. and bred to son of
Dictator, the produce OF which was
Tinnie c, 2.26l, and Howard l., 22Of, and
then sold to the late B. j. Treacy, Ashland
Farm, Kentucky, where she foaled
Timbrel, oil. At the sale OF Mr.. Treacy's
bloOded stock, she went to Mississippi
and became the property Of w. II. Stovall
a Son on large stock farm. For six years
she remained barren and now at the age OF
rs she produces fine, strong, active filly.
Tinnie G, 2.26t, was bought of Major
Hopkins by w. G. Danforth OF Barnard
when she was young FLY, on account Of
her high breeding.
Dictator, an own brother TO Dexter who
was the worlds champion for many years,
has transmitted a strain OF blood that
inherits a large per cent OF the race horse
honors Of the present day, is grandsire Of
Tinne c.
This mare when broken to harness at
four years made a record trotting Of 2.26i
in Windsor county and was then put to
breeding. Her first colt, Tinnie d, is
clean-going PAGER, with no record. Next,
the fast three vear-Old geidinp Rain bow |
then the yearling stallion, Bradbow,
unbroken, and now the beautiful FLY,
Tinnie T., comes to light. All were sired
by the Hambletonian Egbert stallion,
Bradlaugh, owned by w. c. Danforth.
The white marks Of Dexter. 2.17l, are I
inherited and plainly shown by the colts
of Tinnie &.
