THE FUTURE OF THE ASSOCIATION. 



As to the fiitiivc, although the uniin object of the Association is to organize an 

 annual parade and competition, it will consider itself at liberty to use its funds for 

 the relief of work horses in any proper and practicable manner. Especially does it 

 hoi)e to i)r()cure better watering facilities in the streets, and more humane pavements ; 

 to prevent the use of horses that are lame or otherwise unfit for lal)or ; to piovide or 

 to assist others in providing a country home or place of rest, for horses temporarily 

 disabled or exhausted. 



Beside what sums are obtained from the publication of advertisements in the 

 catalogue, the Association has no receipts except gifts. 'I'he officers render their 

 services, which in some cases are arduous, without any compensation ; and it is con- 

 fidently expected that those citizens of Boston who love horses, and who derive 

 pleasure or [)rofit from the use of them, will contribute according to their means.
