THE AMERICAN BRONCO.
Wonderful Picturesqueness OF the Horse
of the " estern Plains.

Wonderful PicturesqUeness OF the Horse
OF the " estern Plains
Some years ago Idrove UP to a stage
station in the san Pedro Valley in
Arizona, and the Mexican stock tender
had had a hard time in rounding up his
stage stock. His herd pony had been
run until, as he stood there under the
shade Of a brush corral, covered with
foam and dust, with his belly drawn
up almost to his spine and gasping oc-
casionally as though it was his last,
felt sure l should see him die before
left the station. l was afterwards
told by the stage boss in a bluff, mat
ter-of-cOurse way, in answer to my in
quiry. that he had pulled through all
right; you can't kill them critters;''
and now 1 am perfectly positive that
you can not
As a saddle animal simply, the
bronco has no superior. The lope
is a term which should never be ap-
piled to that motion in any other breed
of horses have watched a herd of
cOw-ponies being driven over the
prairie where the undulations of the
backs ia the moving threHg were a.
regular and easy as the rise and fall
of the watery waves. The fox-trot,
which is the habitual gait OF all plains
men, cowboys and Indians, is easily
cultivated in him, and his light, supple
frame accommodates itself naturally
TO the motion.
This particular American horse lays
claim TO another quality, which in my
estimation Is not least, and that is his
wonderful picturesqueness. He graces
the western landscape, not because he
reminds Us of the equine ideal, but be-
cause he comes OF the soil, and has
borne the heat and burden and the
vicissitudes of all that pale Of romance
which will cling about the Western
frontier. As we see him hitched to
the plow or wagon he seems a living
protest against utilitarianism; but, IN
like his red master, he Will not go.
He has borne the Moor, the Span
ish conqueror, the red Indian, the
mOuntain-man, and the vaquero
through all the glOries of their Cd
reers; but they viii soon be gone, with
all their heritage of gallant deeds.
The pony must meekly enter the new
regime He must wear the collar of
the new civilization and earn his oats
by the sweat of his flank. There are
no mo worlds for him to conquer;
now he must till the ground--Fred-
eric Remington, IN Century.

yet LOCO, 600 days ago, Rome was a
city of the future. One million days
ago, Xerxes, Miltiades and Leonidas
were yet unborn; the beginning of the
Christian era was farther in the future
than the Crusades are in the past.
What, then, shall we say of 50, 5,O0O,O0
gears!
To take another example: Suppose
one were to travel every day as far as
from here TO the sun; that is to say, a
distance which an express train would
cover in about 175 years. Then, while
the journey to Neptune would take
about a month, it would require 600
years to reach the star called Alpha
Centauri.
But awful as is the distance of this
star, it is as nothing compared with
that of the other heavenly bodies
Sirius, one of the nearest of the fixed
stars, is at least four times as far
away; while many, perhaps most, OF
the stars visible TO the naked eye are
quite four times as far away as Sirius
And when we come to some of the
stars which only the telescope reveals.
we find that whereas light, travelling
at the IdLc VI 1DsDtOsDJp lll4lGS Il l4A4l-
ute, comes to us from Alpha Centauri
in considerably less than four years,
it can not reach us from the telescope
stars in less than thousands, and hun
dreds of thousands, of years
Another illustration may be taken
from the motion of the heavenly bod
les. Look, for instance, at the bright
star Sirius. Year after year it APP
pears the same; of the same size, the
same brightness, the same distance.
And so, no doubt, it has appeared for
centuries past, and viii continue to
appear for centuries to come. And
yet it is asserted that Sirius and the
earth are shooting apart-at times
over twenty miles a second Let us
stop a moment and see what this would
mean. In one minute, Sirius recedes
as far as from New York TO Winnipeg;
in sixteen minutes it travels distance
equal TO the earth's circumference;
and in less than three hours n space
is covered equal to that betw cen US
and the moon. Yet, to double its
present distance, it would have to go
| on thus receding Tor over 100, 900 years;
! and TO become invisible TO the naked
eye, that speed of separation would
| have to continue over 1000, 600 years.

exposition will attract a large crowd of
people from distant places
On Monday. September 9, will the civic

plee was made grand marshal, with power
to appoint his aids. He gave assurances
that be would attempt to move more
people in given time than had yet been
the case in any pageauts in Baltimore
To avoid waits and to permit the people
to reach Pimlico uniaded the hour of as
semblage of the parade was set at a. m >,
the procession to start half hour later.
1t will form on South Broadway. Divi-
sions will form on the cross streets to the
east and VT St, with their right resting on
Broadway. The route will be Broadway
to Baltimore street, to Madison avenue,

approval. through Druid Hill Park to
Pimlico, The above arrangements will,
it is thought, result in carrying very
large crowd through the Plmlico gates,
for upon the financial success of the open

the whole celebration.
All bodies from out of town will file,
