List Of Maine Entries In New England
Breeders Stakes.

An ingenious device for controlling excit-
able horses has been invented. says the In
diana Farmer. 1t is attached to the brow
band of the bride, and light but firm cord
runs through loops along the reins to the
hand-piece. In case Of fright pull the cord,
and instantly the horse is blindfolded This
diverts his attention from the object of
fright and puts him into another train Of
thought. Let 90 the cord and the double
spring instantly withdraws the blinds from
the eyes and rolls them ont Of sight.
