BROAD.CHESTED HORSE.

Wind is the grand secret of fast horse
Good lungs will cover multitude o
faults; while, on the other hand. pertec
ton OF shape and form are useless wher
the wind is out. The chest therefore, in
all cases. should be large and capacious
In shape ii may vary somewhat. accord
ing TO the service to which the horse is to
be put. Ii he is to be kept Tor slow work
and heavy drawing, the chest may be near
ly circular in form, because this shape Is
the one for strength and bulk, to receive
and bear up against the pressure OF the
collar; while at the same time sufficient
room is secured for that expansion of the
lungs caused by slow and regular work.
But il the chest is circular, let it be at the
same time deep. or else the lungs NAV
be cramped. A horse with a shallow
chest is worthless for any purpose. The
rule then is this For draught horse IA
circular but deep Chest but rs you pass
through the different degrees of speed, up
to the racer and trotter, the chest will in-
crease in depth, compared to its round
ness. until, for the highest rate OF speed,
YOU must have a chest as deep as "A grey
hound and at the same time not lacking III
breadth. Every breeder should keep this
rule in mind when selecting his brood
mares and stallion, for he may be sure
that the shallow-chested parents never
beget deep-chested colts.

ANOTHER SCANDAL.
An Episcopal Bishop Seventy-FOur Y ears
of Age the Alleged Culprit.

CHICAGO, April is. The Times has long &C
count OF alleged improper conduct and scandalous
proceedings Of Episcopal Bishop Allen McClos-
key OF Michigan. The substance of the story is
that for long time he has cohsbited with young
girl whom be has recently married to Q young
man of Detroit, named Bannister, who discovered
the guilt OF McCloskey, and indirectly it has
reached the public.
The proof of the story lies in Q number of
broadly suggestive letters written by McCIoskey
to the girl Fannie Richards; in his resignation to
the committee of the diocese; in the confused de-
NAL made to the committee; in his acknowledge
ment of unusual intimacy with the girl; In the
Identification OF some OF the letters; 10 his sudden
departure for Europe, and IN the reticence of the
digntaries OF the Episcopal church, who, although
they do not affirm the story, refuse to deny it. On
the other hand, the stories but little suthenti-
Gated. They cannot be said to be more than ru-
mOrs at present.
Bishop McCloskey denies the whole story, and
declares he resigned on account Of i'll health and
old age and points to his life OF recttude for "a
years rs his vlndication.
The matter has been kept profound secret, and
leaked out casually. There are said to be more
facts lying back, but the Detroit papers publish
nothing about the scandal, and no interviews held
have elected any facts here.
