stations, six pure bred hackney mares
and "a hackney stations out of Nor

DR.. Webb Is doing the farmers a
great service by developing a cross
between the hackney and native mares
for the purpose of getting high grade

mares are taken to Shelburne farms
for breeding, for which no charge is
made. When the colts are six months
old the doctor has an option on them
at contract purchase price. There
were bred 1873 mares at the farms this
year under this contract, all taken
from the farms about Shelburne. Most
of these colts as they grow up and are
trained are put on the market. Mr..

Road horses have their place and good
ones are valuable. The owner of Shell

is not particularly detrimental even

may be sacrificed, the additional com
fort of riding behind sure-footed horses

A Thrilling Performance at Greenfield
Fair.

There never has been exhibited in
this or any other country such an in
teresting feat as that performed by
the celebrated diving horses, king
and Queen" which will form one of
the principal objects of attraction at
the Greenfield Fair, September is and
10. This justly celebrated act is with
out parallel in the annals of animal
training and it speaks much for the
science of the master hand that taught
these beautiful creatures to make
their wonderful jump. Everywhere
these intelligent animals have been
exhibited their dive has been the prin-
cipal subject of discussion for months
afterwards. They were the principal
feature of the chutes at Coney Island,
n. Y, for two seasons, where their
wonderful act was witnessed by thou
sands of people. A horse is. at the
best, naturally a timid animal and
there is usually desire on the part
of the animal to be particularly eau
tious in performing a dangerous feat.
To see these marvellous animals as.
cend long incline or walk and then.
from the height of 40 feet make clear
dive into a tank or lake of water -
rect deep is something to be marveled
at, but these intelligent creatures per-
form this feat daily, and it seems to the
spectator that they take delight in
doing it. 1t requires absolutely no
urging on the part of their trainer to
get them to make their wonderful dive.
One of the horses is led to the opposite
side of the tank while the other is led
to the end of the incline. When the
foot of the incline is reached the ami
NAL trots briskly up to the top and
then stands for a second surveying the
crowd of spectators below. He then
lowers his fore feet to small plat
form a foot below the top of the run.
and then, like a streak, makes a clear
dive for the tank below. Greenfield
will also have large parade on the
second day, to show in two sections.
an automobile section and a section of
coaches, floats and private carriages.
There will be special trains from Brat
tleboro.

wINpHAM COUNTY COURT.
The stoddard Will Case from West
minister Now on Trial.

The September term of this court
convened at Newfane on Wednesday,
the 4th inst, at II a. m. After prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Danforth the remain
der of the forenoon was occupied in
the calling of the docket, showing that
of the 67 cases originally assigned for
trial by jury, there were but 80 still
standing
The afternoon session was taken up
in the hearing of several motions and
affidavits for continuances. In the
case of State VS.. Don G. Stevens, Apt,
which came to this court by appeal,
being complaint for cruelty to ami
mails, the respondent pleaded guilty
and was fined $50 and costs of prosecu-
ton, and in default of payment the al
Tentative sentence to the House of
Correction.
A jury was then empaneled in the
case entitled "1n re Will of Ann Jen-
nette Stoddard," which is an appeal
from an order and decree of the pro-
bate court for the district of West
minister, allowing and approving the
last will and testament of the said
Ann Jennette Stoddard. Friday, and
up to the time of going to press, evil
dence in the case has been taken and
Is not yet completed. The will is con-
tested by Ira Holton and two sisters
living in Westminster, nephew and
nieces of the said Ann Jennette. BY
the terms of the will it appeared that
she bequeathed to the contestants
property amounting from $1,000 to
$4,000 each, and the balance Of her
estate, amounting in the whole TO
about 100000 she gave to what was
termed "a favorite niece" residing in
Boston, Mass, a Mrs. Woodland, who
since this litigation commenced has
deceased, leaving three children. The
evidence of the contestants tended to
show that the said Ann Jennette at
the time of the execution of said will
did not possess sufficient testamentary
capacity, and also that she was in
duced to make the will as she did
through the undue influence of Mrs.
Woodland or others acting in her in
terest. The evidence on the part of
the proponents tended to show that
the said Ann Jennette at the time of
the making and execution of her said
Will, was of strong mind and in every
respect capable of disposing of her
estate, and that she was in no way or
manner in the making thereof under
the control or influence of Mrs. Wood
ard or any other person, but that il
was her own free will and act while in
full possession of her mental facili-
ties.
1t would seem that pretty much all
the residents of Westminster East
Parish have been called to Newfane
as witnesses upon one side or the
other of this case.
