Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfeld, Ill,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she was
treated for a month by her family physi-
clan, but grew worse. He told her she
she was a hopeless victim Of consumption
and that no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested DR.. Kings New Dis
coyery for Consumption; she bought a
bottle and to her delight found herself
benefited from first dose. She continued
its use and after taking ten bottles, found
herself sound and well, now does her own
housework and is as well as she ever was.

KING KINGSTON.

Sketch of the Famous Horse That Won
the First Special at Top Weight.
OF all the horses on the American turf to-
day none is more highly spoken of by the
sporting fraternity and lovers of racing than
Kingston. He is a consistent performer, and
has earned for himself the title of king of the
American turf. He made his first race in
August, 1896, at Monmouth park. In this
race, for the Junior Champion stakes, he ran
second to fremont, Fitzroy getting third
place. Shortly afterward he ran first In the
Select stakes, beating King Fox By n head.
There were eight entries for this event. He
made one more race as a 2-year-old, finishing
second to King Fox.
The next year Dwyer Bros. bought him for
sl2,5o0. During his 8-year-old career he
won thirteen races out of eighteen, defeating
such horses as Barpum, Firenzi, Volante and
other crack flyers. As a 4-year-old he won
ten out of fourteen races, meeting the best
flyers on the turf. Kingston is a seal brown
horse, now 8 years old, and stands about six
teen hands high. He is a magnificent ami
NAL, having a deep chest, that shows great
lung power and plenty of breathing space,
powerful shoulders and a pair of quarters
highly developed.

was the winning of the First Special at the
fall meeting of the Brooklyn Jockey club this
year. He carried top weight, 100 pounds,
and crossed the line before Raceland, Los
Angeles and Tenny. In this race he proved

But 1t Is very necessary for beginners to take
care how they make q stroke, when there are
several ponies together, punched, 50 to speak,
as it would be an easy matter to give a knock

who has hit the ball, he is ''off sldsn or
s~neaking, and out of the game. He does not
become ION his side" until the ball is hit, or
hit at, on the opposite side, or until the
player, on his own side, who makes the hit
passes him As long as the player remains

Interfere with the opposing players.
The use OF the left hand In welding the
stick and striking with It would, II acquired
at the start, give a great advantage to any
one who devoted a little attention to this.
1t would also teach a most useful lesson in
riding with the bride in the right hand. A
very good way for improving at polo Is to
use frequently a pair of Indian clubs. These
develop the wrists, making them both strong
and supple, and 1t becomes easier to strike,
not only accurately, but with speed and con-
hdence.
The back hit, which Is made by turning
the elbow and knuckles downwards and
swinging the hand down sharply from near
the shoulder past the knee, cannot be learned
by merely practicing during the game. The
lesson should be supplemented by exercises at
home with a club or loaded stick. There are
generally eight players on a side and they
have different positions assigned to them,
such as rushers, goal keeper, number one,
two, ETC., and other names which mean little
TO outsiders but much to players. 1t takes
courage to play polo, and falls are not al
lowed to dismay the men.
Every game must nave rules to govern 1t.
There are a number Of them In polo, but
many of them are of no great advantage to
the beginners, so they are omitted here. The
following are important;
l. Each side shall nominate an umpire, un-
less 1t be agreed to have but one.
Q No spurs with rowels shall be allowed.
0. When the ball is hit beyond the goal,
the side defending the same are entitled to a
hit off from the line.
4. Each side takes its position about dozen
yards within the goal post, and on the ball
being thrown out by the umpire to the center

The First Carriages.

When carriages were first used in England
they were called "whirlcotesn and were used
only by the ladies'. The whirlcote became
Questionable after Queen Anne showed the
fashionable ladies OF London how gracefully
a woman could sit ON a side saddle. Coaches
were known in England in 1880, they having
been introduced from Germany by the Earl
OF Arundel They came into general use
among the nobility about the year 1605. The
Duke of buckingham was the first to ride In
n coach drawn by six horses To riSicule

must dismount and pick 1t up, but he cannot
strike the ball until again mounted. The
stroke Is made with a long stick or mallet,
which the rider holds in his right hand, rs he
guides his pony with the left II he attempts
to "dribble' the ball the chances are that 1t
will be lost and overriden before it has been
taken as far as one good hit would send 1t.
Polo Is In this respect almost Numerically
opposite in its system to Skinny on the ice,
in which %"dribbling' is the most important
part of the game, and skill in keeping with
the ball and working It all over the pond Is
the chief qualification OF a first class player.
Two strikes are common in polo, the forward
useful when the ball is rolling towards the
goal, and a player OF that side ~galloping after
1t overtakes 1t in time, and by one chance
back-hit sends 1t flying away far behind his
back to his friends. The chief requisites as
to the ponies are, that they should be swift,
both in a straightforward course and at the
turn, afraid OF nothing, and obedient to the
slightest movement of the rider. These are
perhaps rather heavy demands to make, and
In effect a good polo pony should be worth a
much higher sum than he brings In the
market.
1t can be safely said that an animal which
is really good for polo must be good for al
most anything else. Intelligence is absolute
ly essential in the pony, and it is astonishing
with what rapidity and ease aShetland pony,
or indeed one of any other good breed, will
come to understand that Is expected OF him
in the game. After a short time he will
learn to know just what the rider means by
each slight pressure of his hand or knees, and
, 1889-11-10

will need but little guiding with the rein or
pulling up with the bit. At one time polo
was looked upon as n very dangerous game,
likely to injure horses, owing to the abrupt
checks and START required of them and the
knocks from the stick.
But It. is found in practice that, IL a player
Is, TO begin with-as, Of course, he should be
able to ride fairly well, there is no danger
OF accidents. Ponies do not suffer, as is sup

nearly Hke the old game OF "hockey.p
or shiny which every true American
boy plays at some period OF his life, that one
might term It scientific shiny. The game
differs, however, from shiny In one import
ant feature-it Is played on horseback, or
rather on ponyback. The regulation height
Of the pony Is fourteen hands.
The ground required for this sport should
be larger In size than a fold which would do
for Skinny. 1t should be OF level turf without
swampy places; In fact, as level as a baseball
ground A space of 100 yards In length by
70 yards In width Is about the smallest that
can be used, and 1t Is vastly better IL a
ground twice the size can be secured. The
rule is that the goals be not loss than $50
yards apart. In the middle of it, at each Of
the two ends, are placed the goal posts, each
goal being 8 yards wide, and 1t is the object
TO drive the ball between the posts marking
the opponents goal. One great attraction
to polo, which has made 1t so popular, is to
be found In the craftsmanship which Is re-
quired of the players, as well as their quick
ness and accuracy in hitting the ball. At
times n player interposes his pony before his
antagonist SO as to prevent reaching the ball
1t is an exciting and at times quite a danger
Gus game. 1t calls for perfect horseman-
ship, well trained and speedy ponies, nerve
and self possession, fearlessness even to reck-
lessness, and quick Judgment.
Rider and beast must not only thoroughly
understand each other, but must also pull
together. Like in football, team work Is In
d~ispensable. There are sudden stops and even
more sudden starts. There are sharp chases
and hard, breakneck riding with quick turns
and wheelings- The opportunities for skill In
the saddle and with the arm are many and
brilliant. II a stick is dropped. the player

How TO Burn Coal.

AS COO. weather is approaching, and much
fuel is wasted in the manner of replenishing
coal fires, both in furnace and CRATES, 1t would
be well to try the following rule They
Should be fed with little coal at time and
often But servants to save time and trouble
put on good deal at once, the first result be-
ing that almost all the heat is absorbed by the
newly put on coal, which does not give out
heat until it has become red hot. Hence for
while the room lie cold, but when it becomes
fairly aglow the heat is insufferable. The
time to replensh fire is so soon as the Goals
begin to show ashes on their surface; then
put on merely enough to show layer of
black covering the red. This will soon kin
die, and as there is not much of it, an excess of
heat will not be given out Many also put
out the fire by stirring the crate as soon as
fresh coal is put on, thus leaving all the heat
in the ashes, when it should be sent TO the
new supply of coal. The time TO stir the
fire is just when the new coal is pretty well
kindled. This method OF managing a coal
fire is troublesome, but it saves fuel, gives
tuore uniform heat and prevents the dscom-
forts Of alterations of heat and cold, above
referred to.
