Bonner in Harlem Lane.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal, gives the following
graphic description of Bonner and his
horse Dexter. as they appear in Harlem
Lane:
saw Bonner on the road the other
day. 1t is one of the sights OF New York.
1t is interesting TO watch the sensation he
produces, though he appears every day.
IIec ONES late on the road, bu; his com.
ing is watched for with the greatest ca.
gcrness by all classes. lie is very sys.
tcmetic, and can usually be seen turning
into the cato from Eighth avenue about
o'clock. Ills pleasure never interferes
with business his days work is squarcly
done before he leaves for his stables. He
has rig which he puts on when he pre-
pares for the road. Dexter is tho favor.
itc with the public and they are usually
gratitied, especially on q pleasant alter
noon. Other horses have had their brush
and have been led off lcaming to the
shed. The pi.zzas of all the hotels that
line the road, are crowded with horse
men and the windows with lady friends.
Spectators with their teams draw up on
the side of the road to await the great
event OF the day. During the meeting of
the two conferences Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in New York last week.
it was estimated that two.thirds of the
clergymen went out on Harlem lane to
get sight of Dexter and his famous own
er. Bonner makes his appearance at n
slow pace apparently Indifferent to the
impression produced. lie watches to see
that the coast is clear. BY common con-
sent, when Bonner appears the road is
cleared. A Dakotah Indian might take
lessons of Bonner i'm his yells. As Dex.
ter starts on his course, his driver can he
heard mile off. The excited throng
shout. That's Bonner" and MI come to
their ieet. The team rushcs by with the
flectness OF the wind. and is out sight in
an instant. There are some things that

Jenny did not follow her. She sat on
the step. lost in thought. The riddle OF
her friends life was at last made clear 10
her. She had often wondered why

Jenny turned with tears in her eyes to

he came from the field.
"Well little woman" he cried. and then
she got the rough embrace and the hearty
kiss for which she WAS looking
Yes. Margaret was right. The butter

himself on the porch seat, and famed
