Regrets were announced from anum-
Der of invited guests, after which DR..
Pierson was introduced, and in witty
speech recalled some of Morristown a
half century ago, claiming that he was
the Oldest resident of the town pres
emit who was born here. He spoke of his
love for horses, telling anecdotes of his
own career, and telling of his horse
purchased of D. P. Mcclellan and Hen
ry Armstrong. He asked pardon for
the purchase of an automobile saying
that it is only little one.
Rev. O. G. Horsman spoke next, tell
ing how he was born horseman and
had always been one, but now for the
first time had met with his kind. He
referred to the New York betting-law
agitation. saying it was a puzzle to
him how the horse had become aSSOci-
ated with such practices, and hoping
for an improved breed of men as well
as horses, which the advocates of bet
ting are always giving as the aim of
that practice.
Charles McClelland gave some new
definitions of things h0rsey, and call

of the heavy and light jockeys at the
table, MesSrs. Armstrong and Guerin.
The Rev. W. P. Keller was the last
speaker, he speaking of the true sports

for the betting end and congratulating
the members on their interest ia rae

by unanimous vote. Mr.. MacColl, for
the pastors, thanked the Association
for the honor.

was the music rendered by Messrs.
Runyon, Zimmerman and Bower on
piano, violin and cello. The menus
were appropriate in design as well as
yiands named for the occasion, and
each guest received a ribbon for his
coat, some blue, some red aud some
yellow, while the frozen part of the
dinner was decorated with miniature
horses and served in horsey cases.

says, Is the Kubitsampso, which rises
from an enormous glacier on the north

now been connected by cable with the
