"Through the efforts of the Morgan
Horse Club and the cooperation of the
Vermont State Fair Commission there
is going to be round up of Morgan
Horses at Whire River Junction in
September which promises to surpass
anything seen in the last forty years in
the Green Mountain State. She club,
which is made up largely of wealthy
New York horse fanciers, was formed
about three years ago to save the Nor
gan horse from extinction and to re-
store the ancient Morgan type, which
had almost disappeared during the craze
for speed in all harness horses in this
country a generation ago. Unlike many
of the breeders organizations in the
United States, it is in no sense a COM

contribute prs miums for the encourage

Among the many splendid attractions
will be the Morok Biplane, and Mr.
Morok himself has been engaged to fly
every day of the fair on very definite

CONDITION
OF TRADE
IN VERMONT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
state labor is well employed and in
some lines more help could be given
work. As whole new business has
come in satisfactorily, although among
few interests August business so far
has not been large. Among the gran
ite quarry owners the demand is heavy
while with the manufacturer reason
bly, good business is noted. Collections
among the granite men are a little i'm
proved as is to be expected foT this sea-
son of the year. A good business is re.
ported among the marble manufactur-
ing interests. Knit goods manufacturers
are operating with full force. The de-
mand for lumber has been good and
prices firm. Among the saddlery hard
ware trade the customary quiet period is
noticed. Reports from apiaries show
the honey crop in Vermont this year will
be considerably above the average.
While the crop will be large owners of
bees report heavy winter losses by rea-
son of weather conditions. Since the
latter part of July the summer travel in
aud through the state has been largely
increased. The number of automobile
parties reported as having come into the
state during the past week has been
large and travel generally has been
heavy. Crops are doing well but need
of sunshine and warm weather is noticed
to develop the backward corn crop. The
failure reports for the week include three
voluntary bankruptcies and two receiver
ships.
Burlington manufacturing interests
have increased the number of employed
and labor now is reasonably we'll en-
gagged. Retail trade is reported as in
excess for the period. At Rutland labor
is reported we'll employed and retail
trade shows same improvement. At st.
Albans favorable reports are received
from both the manufacturing and re-
tail trade. The crops are said to be do
ing as we'll as could be expected. st.
Johnsbury manufacturing interests are
we'll employed and retail trade fully up
to the average although collections are
below normal. From the farmer in
that section it is learned the weather
has been too cold for corn; other crops
are doing well. Montpelier granite
manufacturers note new business is
coming in well and other manufacturing
interests reasonably well employed. Not
as much building work is being done
there as is usual. Clearance sales have
been feature among number of the
dry goods merchants. Barre reports la
Dor we'll employed but the manufacturer
has experienced trouble by reason of
lack of motive power attributed to low
water conditions. Brattleboro comments
favorably on both manufacturing ana
retail trade. The jobbers note an i'm
provement with collections. Benning-
ton manufacturers are we'll employed
and some are running over time. Re-
tail trade continues about normal. Bel
lows Falls manufacturing interests re-
port labor well employed and some i'm
provement in retail trade. At Brandon
a new marble manufacturing plant is in
process of completion.

TWO WINS
ANNEXED THE
PAST WEEK

Before fair sized mid-week crowd
and with the consent of the weather
man, the much postponed game with
Newport was staged at Athletic Park
yesterday afternoon. But it would have
been better tor Newport if it had rained
Getting away to flying start, the 10
Gals outffelded, outbatted and generally
outpIayed the visitors. Newport's field
ing was very ragged, having no less than
10 errors; this, combined with the
heavy hitting of the locals caused the
game to develop into one sided cou-
test.
White pitched air-tight ball all the
way, and but for all unfortunate foozle
of CilJeys would have scored shutout.
His pitching demonstrated, that, as the
season progresses, he is steadily improv-
ing and will make most of them from
now on travel to pitch up to his stand
ard and incidently, what teams in this
vicinity can boast of better local bat
terry than White and Stevens The team
also is showing improved form, having
won the last six games played. Taking
in consideration, that in every contest
this year straight local has been
played, their record is commendable.
But few teams hereabouts worthy of
mention can say this.
The next game will be in Waterville,
Que, tomorrow and current reports have
it, that several professionals will he on

fine contest should result As many

NEW YORK SURGEON
RESTORES CRIPPLE
Inserts Bones of Dead Chill
dren in Feet of TWo-Year-
Old Baby Boy.
By international News Service

NEW YORK, Aug. ia two-year-
old baby who came 10 the Post Gradu-
ate hospital. New York, five weeks ago
helpless cripple from club feet since
birth, went to his home in Waterbury,
Conn.,, today, wearing In each foot the
bone of another child, but strong and
well. For the first time in the history
of The world DR. Frederick III Albee
took bones from the feet of the dead
bodies OF two children, inserted them
inside the feet of the little cripple
and restored bis distorted feet to nor
nal shape, size and utility
Hitherto surgeons cut the feet of
such ,ccrlpples and gradually straight
ened them with braces, but In club Feet
some bones are always lacking and the
old cure never put the feet into such
condition that they could be used, be-
cause il never attempted to supply the
missing bones. This time, Bellevue hos
pital supplied the bodies Of children
who had died at birth from strangula-
ton. From ono was taken thigh
bone, from the other an arm bone.
These were placed in cold storage and
when they had frozen DR.. Albee cut
from them pieces the exact shape and
size of the bones missing from the lit
tie cripple.
A large clinic saw the little fellow,
peacefully asleep under ether, wheeled
into. the amphitheater Of the Post
Graduate hospital. Then DR.. Albee
made an incision in ono foot, cut the
ligaments, Strengthened the foot and
inserted one of the bones, the piece
which forms the junction between the
heel and toe bones. The foot was
sewed up, placed in a plaster cast and
similar operation performed on the
other foot. The little fellow awoke with.
out any bad effects from operation OF
apesthetic, and week ago the plaster
casts were removed. Today he went
homo and now he must be taught to
walk and then he will be as perfect on
his little feet as a child could be.
DR.. Albee is the surgeon who, short
time ago, discovered a method for the
cure of hunchbacks by the transplant
ing of human bones.
