MOOdCn Collars.

A correspondent of the Muyland
Farmer urges the general introduction
OF wooden collars, for the following
reasons:
The present huge collar chokcs the
horse in the summer and chills him
through the lungs in the winter.
,. A collar made of white bass or
other light, tough wood, would never
heat. gall, or chill horse.
>. Experience has demonstrated that
u hard wooden surface, polished and
kept clean, is the safest, coolest, best
and healthiest collar ever used.
4. They will only weigh one.third as
much as ordinary collars, and unite
names and collar in one. No rough
surfaces are worked up; no sweat is ab.
sorbed to cook Il scald fresh air passes
around the collar, cvaporating the mois,
ture and keeping the skin dry ; the hair
is not chafed and fretted, and the horses
health is freed from the membranes
of collar disease. AS illustrations of the
superior quality of hard, non-absorbent
surface on II horses shoulders, he pre-
scnts the following instances During
the war it WAS found necessary to re-
move an equipment factory in the South
500 miles. The number of collars for
the teams employed was insufficient by
forty, which were made of wood, pol.
ished and tied on by ropes through each
end. AT the end of the tiresome jour
ney, all the horses and mules that used
the ordinary collars were severely CALLED
nearly ruined, and for IL long time re.
mained unit for service; whilst those

A Young American Prima Donna Plum
dcrGd by Italian Brigands.

Miss Niolctta Colville, the young
American prima donna, and her mother
were wavlaid by highway robbers be-
tween Albisola. and Savona, Italy. The
lder lady describes the affair as fol,
lows:
| thought it would do Violctta good
to 90 to the beach and walk in the sea
air, she being yet not entirely strong, SO
we took a carriage and drove to the
little village of Albsola. After walking
about an hour on the shore we started
to return home. We had got about
half mile from Albisola when the car
riage stopped, and the driver said that
something was the matter with the
vehicle, and that it could go no further.
He said we must wait there and he
would 90 into town for another carriage.
was not at all suspicious nor alarmed.
We were in Il little valley, or rather u
gorge, for the hill rose on each and the
mountains lay behind. We strollcd
about enjoying ourselves, when heard
Nioletta say, For mcrcy's sake, who
are these pcoplc?" ! turned round and
| saw advancing from the seaside five
rough looking men, who, from the shape
of the road, had managed to remain
concealed from view until they were
within about Il rod or so of us. | did
not allow Violetta to think was fright,
cred, but raid, son, they are laborers
frobably returning home.' But we
were quickly undcceived when one of
them advanced and asked in % tene not
| at all agreeing with his language if we
had not u few centissimi for poor
man? TO gain time | pretended not to
| understand Italian, and asked him in
| French What he desired. In the mean
time had slid my hand in my pocket
and slipped Oft my rings from my
fingers. He said that he and his com
rades would like little assistance in
the way OF money from the mesdames.
had drawn out my pocketbool and
was proceeding to open it when our
brigand, not at all like the brigands of
the drama, did not wait to accept any
offering mi ght choose to give him, but
incontincntly snatched it from my
hand. When he opened it the others
crowded around him, and, seeing its
contents (thcre were about SIX hundred
francs in notes of various denomina.
tions) appeared highly contented but
Wishing doubtless to have q souvenir of
their unwilling benelactress, required OF
me my watch also; which, when | had

convincing themselves that Violetta
had neither watch nor purse about her.

Is IL not u very effective mode OF
promoting gambling which the Ameri.
can Trotting Congress has adopted in
establishing the rule that horse must
trot for money, in order to get what is
technically called II record? Is not
speed the came, ah>tractly and relatively,
| whether Il horse trots for money or not ?
One horse trots for money, and gets
what is callcd the record. Joe Elliott
has trotted n mile in 2:l5l. This is in
disputablc and undeniablc. He made
this uncqualled performance in the
presence of good men, who are ready to
substantiate their statements by their
| ailidavits. Yet Joe Elliott does not, ac-
cord'ng to the rules, get record" as
1t is called, simply because he did not
trot for money. Startlc, on the 10th
day of May last, four days before he was
five years old, trottcd vt Prospect Park
one mile in 2:l9f. 1t was announced
beforehand in the Tuf, Field and Farm
that he would get a trial on that day,
and three good men, Commodore Dodge,
Mr.. Robert Fletcher, and Mr. Simeon
ltoagland, were put in the stand and
requested to act as timers. They timed
HIM IN 2:l9i, and yet, according to the
rules, Startlc does not get u "rccord' of
his marvellous Bpcriormance. Nomatter.
how fast any OF Mr.. Bonncr's horses
trot. they never get the technical
record" because they never trot for
money. What docs u "rccord" amount
to, AS evidence of the comparative speed
OF horses, ii it be given for any other
consideration than speed, pure and
simple? Now, we wish to know what
in truth and reality the significance
and advantage can be of what is termed
technically "a record" over u well.
established performance about which
there has been no gamblng2 Would
betting about any other fact make it
more II fact than than if there were no
betting in reference to it? Would
betting on Trinity Church stccplc make
its height greater CT less than it now is ?
Would betting on the sunrise or sunset
change the time-thc hour, the minute,
the second, or the quarter of second
of either? All we demand is to have
things called by their right names.
Why not substitute "trotted for gam
bling purposes" instead of ''a record"
if that is what the Trotting Congress
mean and require? DO not connect in
cXtricably innocent amusement with
gambling. Will the President of the
Trotting Congress, Amasa Sprasue-a
sound and capable man-consil Ter these
views? If he will we have confidence
that he will adopt them, for We consider
them unanswcrablc. If gambling is to
be harncssed inseparably to trolting, it
will make astcadily detcrioraiing and
despised double team.--Ncw York
Ledger.
