as a young lady and young man who seemed
to he her lover took up the mallets to start the
balls, bony-looking old tramp halted and

took the first shot, and before the ball had
ceased rolling, the girls voice was heard
calling:

Before either of them were half way down
she had occasion to remind him that he wasn't
playing with blind person, and that she could
overlook no cheating. As she went under the
last arch he felt compelled TO remark that her
playing would rule her out of any club he ev
er heard of. On the way back she asked him
why he couldn't be an honest man as well as
jockey and falslfer, and he inquired why she
didn't write set of rules to tally with her
style of playing.

4 HIGH HORSE INDEED.
An OHIO Monster Measuring Eighty-One In
ches IN Height


Ne,r TOrk Times, lane 23.-There arrived
in this city Yesterday by way Of the Hudson
River Railway from Albany, and was conveyed
directly to his quarters in Houston street what
is believed to be the largest horse that has ever
fallen under the eye of anatomist or jockey
verilable equine monstcr-beside which AMI
mails of the ordinary height are as dwaris
The animal was bred in Ohio, from our native
draught stock, and certainly no region except
one of the Limestone bases could have dcvei-
oped such an enormous equine anatomy. His
registered height Is 20 hands and inch, or ~
inches, being a foot taller than an average
man. HIS weight is stated to be 2,i50 pounds
but all these points will probably be verified
today by competent veterinary surgeons. As
standing in the stable the color of the animal
appears to be a uniform dark bay, without
spot or blemish. It should not be Judged that
this height, although extraordinary, is not al
together unprecedented in horses. At the Cen
tennIal Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876 a
span of horses was placed on exhibition, each
of which was Is hands and inch high. The
animals were bred in Canada, and became the
property of Philadelphia brewer when the
exhibition closed. A veterinary surgeon in
this city formerly owned a horse that wat 10

structure-but he found it impossible to cor
