ne1ed item from recent issue of the
Truckee Republican:
We were shown this morning by NJ.
T. Sullivan, the stage man, one of the
new-fanGled notions called horse snow
shoe. The shoe is made of gulta percha
beltings doubled and rive,ed together
strongly. When doubled this betting is
about tifty-eighths of an inch tkich,
eleven inches III length and eleven inches
wide. On tie upper side are two curved
bands or clasps of iron. These clasps
are fastened iii front and rear to slap
pie and link. The clasps are fastened
firmly to the horses hoofs by means of
a screw passing through them from be-
hind. Ia light snow horses make fair
progress with these shoes, and do not
sink duwn more than six or eight inches
on an average. OF course, with these
shoes, horses cannot go faster than an
ordinary walk, but the shoes enable
them to go in places where, without
them, they could make no Roadway at
all. The shoes weigh about four pounds
each. Horses once accustomed to usin.
them can hardly be induced to make
their way through fresh, yielding snow.
