now standing in line with other stock
departments, has been fitted up for
the horses and they now have Il

couraging way in recent years and
one must look for renewed interest
in it before former exhibitions here
can be approached. There was.
however, good show of colts, the

PRESIDENT
Senator Proctor is friend of the new
president.
The president has asked his cabinet to
remain in office But there are changes ia
BILE to take place in the official family of the
president ut no distant date.
This may mean much to Senator Proc
tor
Already it has been rnmored that in case
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts should be
made secretary of state Senator Proctor
would become the presidents personal rep
resentatiyc on the floor of the senate.
Itmay mean even more than this to the
Vermont senator. He may be invited to take
the place of premier in the cabinet, and
should he accept it means the choosing of
his successor to the senate.
Should there come changes which rumor
has set afloat, then the winter months III old
Vermont are liable to produce some inter

all likely to remain silent listencr.-Bnr-
