American Stallion Register.
Vol. Ill

Joseph Battell of Middlebury, Vt,
has just published the second volume Of
his American Stallion Register, an
elaborate work, in which some of the
most valuable horse history of America
is being preserved by the private enter
prise of one who has devoted lifetime
of unselfish effort to this important sub
ject. In this volume he has collected a
mass of information, much of it hither-
to unpublished, about early importa-
tons of horses to America and about
the stock horses of Colonial and later
days in New York and the New Eng
land States.
Research by Mr.. Battell has almost
revolutionized some of the early horse
history of this State and incidentally
exploded many of the Messenger
theories of John H. Wallace. 1t upsets
long accepted stories of the origin of
Seely's American Star, sire of the dam
of Dexter, 2:17 Ia; of Engineer H., the
sire of Lady Suffolk. 2:29 l-2; of Flora
Temple, 2:193-4, the first trotter to
beat 2 20; of Dolly Spanker, the dam of
George Wilkes, 2:22, and numerous
other noted trotting horses or their sires
or dams. Important letters relating to
these horses are published in full, so
that the reader may form his own con-
illusions from the testimony of those
who bred or owned the animals in ques-
ton.
The magnitude of Mr.. Battel's work
may be inferred from the fact that the
two volumes thus far published contain
over two thousand pages, yet cover
only those horses whose names begin
with the first seven letters of the alpha
bet. Three more large volumes will be
required to complete the series.-Gur-

AUTO HITS WOMAN
Mrs. w. D. Sherman of West ST
Has Broken Leo.

Mrs. w. D. Sherman of No. 1863
West street had her leg broken and
her ankle crushed Saturday night by a
skidding automobile, at the corner of
Merchants row and West street. Her
injuries are considered more serious
on account of her advanced age. The
accident occurred about 7 o clock in the
evening, and the automobile was owned
and driven by H. E. Seward of No. q
Elm street.
Mr.. Seward was driving up Mer-
chants row, at moderate speed, and
attempted to turn up West street.
Owing to the wet and slippery con-
dition of the streets the car skidded,
and slowed around facing Grove street.
AS he swung the car around up West
street again Mrs. Sherman was. hit by
the front part of the car, and knocked
down. She was crossing from one
corner of West street to the other. 1t
is believed that the front wheel of the
automobile passed over Mrs. Sherman 6
leg.
Mr.. Stewart. who was alone in the
car, stopped it within short distance,
but .bystanders helped the injured
woman into taxi-cab and took her tc
her:home.
On examination it was FUND that
her leg was broken and her ankle
crushed. She suffered intense pain all
day Sunday.

Letter to C. T. Jarvis Relative to
sUnderpass.
0ctohar 1Q11
GIT. Jarvis, Esq.
Rutland, VT,
Dear SIR

Nutldliuy
Dear Sir
l was at your Office this afternoon
and was sorry not to meet you.
sent you Middlebury Register last
week with suggestions in regard to the
conditions at Middlebury for the under
pass. Having talked the matter over
more carefully with prominent citizens,
I.wanted to add that if the underpass is
placed under Seymour Street, there
will not be any occasion now or here
after to make another under Elm Street,
as every condition desired would be fully
met; that's, the depot would be changed
to the east side of the track according
to the recent plans, and the tracks for
freight moved to the north, also in ac-
cordance with these plans. This would
allow access, easy and complete, by Elm
Street, to the newly placed depot and
provide also good and sufficient road
east of the track, which would connect
the newly placed depot with the south
ern part of Seymour Street, thus giving
the best possible access to the depot
from both directions, and this is all that
anyone wants here, and would accord
entirely with the plans already marked
out, with the one exception that the
underpass would go under Seymour
Street instead of Elm Street. The
reasons for this are fully suggested in
the article in the Middebury Register
that sent you last week, and there
would be no greater expense making
this suggested alteration than in the
plan which you have considered, except
ing probably the increased cost of the
underpass. This, am satisfied, cannot
be very much, and am also satisfied
can be readily arranged to suit all
parties interested, especially including
your railroad.
went last Saturday afternoon to
Burlington to see Messrs. Mcintosh &
Crandall, whom have been informed
by several parties are very excellent
engineers, as good as any that could be
got in this locality. Unfortunately
they were not at home, but were to re-
turn Saturday night. wrote them in
regard to coming here and making
careful estimates of the relative ex-
pense of these two underpasses. This
letter went this morning and do not
expect an answer before tomorrow, but
if they can give the time at once to
make this estimate, we will have it
done thoroughly and see that it is paid
for here. AS soon as such estimate is
gotten and looked over carefully by all
interested, we will know very nearly at
least, what the expense will be, and |
feel sure it can be amicably arranged to
suit all parties.
Our selectmen of the town and the
trustees of the village met Saturday
and were unanimous in desiring these
estimates to be made, believing that
, they will be satisfactory or can be made
so to all parties interested.
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH BATTELL.

Against the AutomobiIe.

10 tne Eultor OF the Boston journal (:
Sir-Is this free country? The rural
regions are the game of the nabob.
Here he comes-toot. toot! If l ride
with a trained, experienced horse,
swing as far to the right as can, and
he dashes past without slackening from
railway speed or swerving from the
beaten wheel tracks. If L have timid,
skittist or unframed horse, 1 may go
over the fence, under the wheels where.
ever the caprice of the poor animal
drives him.
The sutfocating odor of burned gaso
lene pollutes the air for the next 100
yards. Nobody apologies. Aged and
timid people are deprived of riding with
horses. Others can ride only with vigil
lence. Monopoly holds our public high
ways. Automobile or locomotive is de.
structive of life. Both run at railway
speed. One runs on restricted track
Why not the other? There is no longer
quiet comfort in carriage driving, but
he who drives horse rides on his nerve.
Human life is relentlessly ground up
witness the daily crop of casualties
How long, o nabob, wilt thou abuse our
patience? If highways are to be public,
let the majority control and occupy
them. Let the monopolist build his own
boulevard and keep to it, Let us shake
off this yoke of terror and come back to
our own.
