NEW MORGAN REGISTER.

The third volume of 'The Morgan
Horse and Register" has just been pub
lished by the Joseph Battell Estate and
copies placed on sale. This is the stand
ard and official register of Morgan
horses and is used by breeders the
world over. 1t was begun by Mr..
Battell when Morgans were not so
well known as they have since be-
come, and the first two volumes have
met with much favor.
Volume III contains the names, Nor
gan rating, and other facts concerning
all horses registered up to the time reg
istrations were begun in Volume W..
The volume is improved in several re-
spects over its predecessors, as planned
by the author before his death. 1t has
been completed by Mr.. Thomas E.
Boyce, long associated with Mr.. Bat
tell.
The book is a beautifully printed
volume, 73-4xl0 inch page, containing
nearly seven hundred pages, bound in
three-quarters morocco, and Illustrated
with AZ full page half-tones. The pic
lures are mostly from photographs and
are very handsome and lifelike. The
frontispiece shows Mr.. Battell holding
Nocturne There is a fine picture of
General Gates of the U. S. Govern
ment Morgan Farm and another of the
farm itself.
A valuable feature is a complete in
deX of breeders and owners. This shows
that the Morgan breed is rapidly in
creasing in favor and is now widely dis
tributed
The price of Volume III has been
fixed at $500. Circulars sent to Morgan
breeders state that the book may be
had at this price from Mr.. Boyce, who
is now booking registrations in Volume
".
