The jury in the case of Mrs. Mary S.
Roper against the Ulster County Agri-
cultural Society, in which she sued for
SIS, 900 damages, for her involuntary
balloon ascension at the Ellenville fair,
in August, 1905, awarded her 81, 600,
which verdict also carries the costs, es-
timated at 500. The Ellenville Press
and Journal denounce the verdict as an
outrageous one, and practically stigma
tie the jury as a party of balloonatics.

To THE CITIZEN:
l noticed an item in one of our papers
last week complaining of the condition
of the roads through the borough of
Prompton, and alleging that crushed
stone was applied without covering last
fall, and that the loose pieces work up
through the snow and make poor sleigh
ing. Will you kindly notify the informer
that he is greatly mistaken, as the bor-
ough roads are clear of all loose stone,
a fact which / can state from personal
knowledge, having Travelled over them
of late. Let whatever fault there is be
placed where it belongs.

new YORKER BUYS
STALLION B|NGEN.

Boston. July 26-Arthur II. Parker, pro-
prietor Of the Shawshecn stock farm.
Bedford, has sold the noted trott!ng stall.
lion Bngen (206H) to William Bradley of
New York.
The price paid is private but it is a
sure thing that it is one of the largest at
which a trotting stallion has ever chang
ed hands at private sale. Mr.. Bradley
bought the stallion to take the place left
vacant by the death of Todd t2.14A).
which he purchased for $4,000 AT the Old
Glory sale in New York last November.
Todd's sudden death last spring left Nh
Bradley without a stallion to head his
stud.
1t has been reported ever since that the
New Yorker was after Engen, but the
price that was asked by his owGer, Mr.
Parker. was stiff and the sale was not
made until within the past few days
il is doubtful if Mr. Parker could have
been persuaded to sell the great speed sire
at any price had it not been for the fact
that in Aquilin (2.09%4D, one of i}ingcns
sons lie owns a young stallion tl,at has
shown equal. if not greater. ability to
produce early and extreme speed, than
has the former Forbes farm premier stall
