ing 100 miles on tricycle. in nine hours and
twenty-five minutes

taking place at Boyertown, Pa, where Ed

proposed battle between Jack Dolings bull

British biped to single combat within the
twenty four-foot rope. 1t is now announced
that the gauntlet has been picked up by a
bruiser from Birmingham, and all having a
sanguinary turn are tremendously huttered
over the international duel. The arrange
ments are kept secret and it seems to be the
determination of all concerned to have the
affair come off in spite of the law and its

Jay Voss's fast PAGER George Gordon is very
lame.
A special from Hartford, Conn. says; "Mr.
William Turnbull, Dan. Mace and few
friends came up from New York to day to
witness the daily work OF Mr.. Vanderbiit's
horses now at Charter Oak Park At $50
o'clock Bair, after having given Maud her
warming-up exercise, sent her for practice
mile. Without break. she passed the half
mile post in Loo, and accomplished the mile
in PIG. Among the crowd of 200 or so there
were several watch-holders who made the
time 2:16H, but the majority of the timers
were stopped at dead :16. Bar believes the
mare was never so good as she is at present,
and he thinks she could have done the mile
in 2:13 easily. He says it was the fastest mile
ever trotted in the month of May, and he is
so pleased with her work that he feels conf
dent she will be in condition to go for the
208 record in few weeks. The day, with
its frequent showers and high wind was not
favorable for speed Late in the afternoon
Maud s. was hitched with Aldine, and the
pair made the mile in 224H, the time for the
last quarter being 3211 seconds. Early Rose
was driven mile in 2:22.

Thr Horse in Spring Work.

Prairie Farmer.
We notice in our exchanges great many
remedies given at this time to cure CALLED
shoulders in horses. No doubt all of them
are good but it strikes us the best way is not
to allow your horses shoulders to become
chafed or sore. Indeed our own experience
in such matters leads us to make the assertion
that sore shoulders among the horses of the
farm is in every case the result of inexcusable
careessness and neglect in the treatment of
the animals in the beginning of the spring
work. In many cases, when horses are put
TO the pillow in the spring, they have been
practically resting all during the long winter
and their shoulders are soft and tender. The
hrst two weeks is generally when the mis-
chief is DONE and thereafter the poor horse
is compelled to labor through an entire sea-
son, with shoulders confused, raw, and bleed
ing, as a result of lack of proper care and
attention in time.
When the horses are first put to blowing
they should be carefully handled and mod
erately worked until toughened so that they
can stand harder and more continuous labor.
1t ought not to be necessary to speak of the
harness, but so many are indifferent on this
important point that we cannot pass it by
unnoticed First then, see that the harness
| fits the animal for which it is intended, and
| that in no place can it rub or chafe at points
| where touching the horse. Then the collar:
Never under any circumstances put an ill
| fitting collar on an animal. A farmer who
will knowingly work horse in collar that
is even liable to hurtit should be prosecuted
for cruelty to the best and noblest animal
God ever gave to man In addition to this
collar should never be put on horse with
out first being carefully examined; and all
riffs or punches of hair and dirt, should be
carefully scraped off. Then, If any Jumps
appear on the surface, lay the collar down
on the stable floor, and with a smooth
round club pound it until it is
even and soft. Then see that the names fit
the collar perfectly and that they are not too
tight either at the top or bottom when fast
ened. Having your harness in proper condi-
| ton. never get in such a hurry to get to the
| field that you cannot take time to see that it
| is properly put on and every buckle anc
strap adjusted as they should be. Now,
| having observed these simple yet highly es-
sental precautions, the next step is to care
| fully attend to the shoulders themselves. At
night, when the horses are brought from the
| field, remove the harness, and with clean,
| cold water, wash their shoulders we'll, and
afterward, with soft wooden CLOTH wipe I'M
til thoroughly dry. Another essential to the
health and comfort of the horse is to have
him thoroughly groomed night and morning
and to always provide him with clean, dry
bedding.
| BY ar observance of the suggestions we
have given, your horses shoulders will never
| become sore, and on the principle that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure,
it will pay to follow them.
