The MORGAN Horse.

The recent organization of a national
Morgan Horse association, coupled with
the efforts which the United States
government is making through the De-
partment of Agriculture, seems to just
ify the belief that we are not to witness
the passing of that breed of animal as
was once feared. The extensive dis
play at the recent State fair was a rev.
elation to many people, and will give the
Morgan breed boom. 1t has, indeed,
led to an extensive free advertising
and boquets are being tossed from all
directions to the famous horse.
The latest contribution is from the
providence Evening Bulletin. The Bull
letin tells what the Morgan is, and the
reason why he has been neglected.
Competent judges have always agreed
that for general utility purposes the
Morgan horse has no equal, to say
nothing of superiors. The Morgans are
comparatively small and compact, but
their strength is remarkable, they have a
high degree of courage, are usually
prompt and cheerful under all condi-
tons and uncommonly hardy.
But gradually" the Bulletin says,
the speed mania swept over the country
and while many of the Morgan horses
were fast their blood lines figure in the
pedigrees of several of the most famous
track performers of the present season
their conformation was such that ex-
IRENE speed was out of the question
and in process of outcrossing they deter
lorated. AS result of the popularity
of more fashionable strains horsemen
complained that at one period it was
next to impossible to find satisfactory
Morgan type in New England. But,
fortunately few of the original stock
remained and now there is reason to be-
lieve that the tardily awakened interest
in the best all-round horse this or any
other country has ever seen will serve
to bring the Morgans back into their
own. Everything indicates that the
Bulletins forecast will be indicated
An interest has been created which is
sure to spread over the country, and
the unjustly neglected Morgan will be
reinstated to the position it so justly
deserves. Burlington News.

My dear Sir:
l congratulate you upon your i'm

OF breeding and the history of the har-
ness horse and the history of the equine
side of agriculture, through the publica-
ton of your late register of stations.
1t is one of the most scholarly volumes
upon the horse ever issued.
AS the former editor of the Breeder
and Sportsman and long a writer on the
horse of this section, | am DESTROYS of
seeing the pedigrees and records of our
Western horses preserved. | am there
fore writing you to suggest that you
communicate with Boutwell, Dunlap,

cisco, California. He is an authority
upon the. pedigrees of Pacific Coast
horses. He has probably as fine a H.
brary relating to racing and horses as
any one in the west. In it there are
many unknown facts, pedigrees, photo
graphs, etc, relating to Western hor-
SEES.
! would like to see this permanently
preserved in printed form. / think
should you ask Mr.. Dunlap, he might be
willing to give you this material without
expense, providing you would acknowl-

WIFE ARRESTS HUBBY

Hugh Bowling, a repentant hus-

all because, in a few dozen or SO

found courage to attempt a very

he has not lived for several
months. Hugh is a wagon driver
and had little vacation yesterday,
and perhaps thought there was no
better place to spend 1t than in his
wife's home, 1901 Second avenue.
OF course he felt a little backward
and the like, and maybe that is why
he crawled through a cellar win
dow.
Mrs. Bowling heard him humping
about down in the basement, from
the effects Of his jag, and was GER
tain that it was a burglar at work.
She telephoned her fears to the
police and before poor Hugh could
find the stairway leading to his
