!, NOTWITHSTANDING the fun made
about It by Frenchmen who do not wear
the Cross 0f the Legion Of Honor, the
privilege is highly esteemed by those who
do wear it, and they do not at all appre-
ciate the ridicule aimed at the Ameri-
cans who have been selected to wear the
decoration. Louis Napoleon gave the
badge so frequently and unfortunately
as to make it cheap; but recently the
French government has tried to elevate
it by more careful and discerning dis.
posal. Only 10000 Frenchmen are now
said to be decorated. The College of the
Legion has good deal of money, which
has been augmented By the addition of
property belonging to Louis Philippe.
From this fund pensions are paid to Ger.
tain members OF the order, including
knights and leeionaries who have been
wounded in military service, and have
amounted to as much as6 ,000, 900 francs
annually. No ignoble punishment can
inflicted on any member so long as be
the order.

There are thousands of well-to-do men
in the country, enthusiastic road riders,
who have been trying for years to get a
horse which could show them mile in
2:20. They have spent money and time
in the pursuit OF this object, and when
one of them has been successful he has
looked upon his horse as the greatest
treasure of earth. He has walked proud
ly among his fellow creatures and words
have failed to describe his happiness.
A 2;20 road horse is 50 rare ss to rep
resent small fortune. Mr.. Bonner is a
man to be envied. In his town stable he
las ten 2:2o flyers and at his farm he has
a score or more which either have beaten
2:20 or give promises of doing 80 at an
early day His marvellous collection of
trotters certainly makes him the foremost
road rider of this or any other age.
