THE CHECK-REIN,
Some Good Advice TO Amateur Drivers
About Its Use.

Some Good Advice to Amateur Drivers
About Its Use.
The following advice about the use of the
check rein. published in the Rorsemdn, will be
of great interest TO local horse owners:
There should be someone to enlighten the
amateur horsemen in the proper use of the
check-rein, from the fact of there being a num-
Der that have a tendency to initiate their
neighbors. Wien any OF these people see
horse hitched they go home and try the same
plan, frequently checking a colt up as high as
they can, and start in to break him. The re-
suit is that nine out of ten are partially
spoiled and develop dislike for the check,
and it is years before they are cured of the
habit of tossing their head.
If the beginner would only use little fore
Thought and check colt up gradually, he
would soon find the natural position and svoid
future trouble. Under such treatment the
colt will soon learn to drive pleasantly and
speed without pulling. One colt likes an over
draw, another side check, and SO on there
fore the driver should endeayor to get kind
that Will suit. 1t is never safe to check a colt
up until such point is reached, as he will do
his work easier and with more determination.
This is especially true of the trotter and road
horse. Get him where he trots steady and
easy. after his feet are balanced, and do not try
to drive him in go the first week. Wait
patiently and find where be likes his head and
what kind of check or bit makes him feel CON-
Portable. In nearly every town an observing
man sees horses speeded up the streets, over
cross walks with their heaQs stuck up in the
air as if they were taking astronomical lessons.
Such method is not the best way to make a
good track horse or even a safe roadster as he
has not liberty enough to see his way or what
is going on around him. Give the horse little
freedom in harness. treat him kindly and speak
to him when he is doing his work 1t does not
cost anything and it wins his confidence"

Misses the Wrecked Train.


Misses the Wrecked Train.
NEW YORK. March John B. Day returned
from Cleveland this afternoon. As it was
known that Mr.. Day intended to leave Cleve-
land last night his friends feared that he had
taken passage on the train wrecked near Ham.
burg, and their anxiety as to his fate was very
great In fact, it was currently rumored that
he was passenger on the wrecked train. Mr..
Day said the only reason he was not aboard the
fatal train was because he hadn't finished his
business in time to catch it. He left Cleveland
on a later train, and was delayed by the smash
up for two hours.
"Our train was shunted on a side track" con-
tinued Mr. Day, land we were thus enabled 10
pass the wreck. As we rolled by the scene we
could see the wounded stretched on the couches
and the surgeons working over them. Each
section contained two wounded persons. 1t
was horrible sight. One of the passenger cars
was telescoped completely within Wagner
coach that it was difficult to tell but that it was
one and the same car. How car can be SO
completely telescoped is something that 1 do
not understand
Mr.. Day was not disposed to talk of baseball.
DO you intend TO go through with a ten club
League?" was asked
That is what we have arranged" replied
Mr.. Day, concisely
How about the New York team for next
season."
I'VE are still in the League and will have
team to play our scheduled games.''
MI Day declined to say anything about en-
gaslng new star players or how he intended to
strengthen the material he now has on hand.
The local baseball opinion in regard to the
cleveland meeting seems to be that the true re-
suits attained were not disclosed Prominent
brotherhood club officials share this belief.
The impression seems to prevail that before

He States How Lambert Managed to Stand
-Four Rounds Before jackson.
CLEVELAND. O.. March 7.-Peter Jackson,
the colored pugilist, arrived here Friday morn
ing, accompanied by Jack Ashton, Sam Fitz-
patrick and ''Parson" Davies. Jackson denied
the truth of the report that he came near be-
ing knocked out by Gus Lambert at Troy, N. Y,
the other night.
do you know who Lambert is?" "Parson"
Davies who acts as Jackson's hacker, asked.
why, he's professional wrestler and weighs
24e pounds, He had trained two weeks because
I had offered Sl00 to any man in Troy who
would stand up before Jackson for four rounds
Lambert wanted the money and he got it, He
did not stand up, but he wasn't knocked out.
In the first place he wouldn't agree to anybody
but a Troy saloon keeper for referee, and after
he had his own way in that he insisted on nav
ing eight-ounce gloves Well, what could you
expect anybody to do with pillows on his hands?
Why. you might stand up before jackson OF
Sullivan or anyone else for dozen ROUNDS
with such gloves on. There would be no posi-
bility of knocking man out with such things
When time was called Lambert rushed right in
to throw him down. Jackson didn't go in for
rough and tumble scrap. He obeyed the rules
and called for foul But Lamberts friend,
the referee, refused to allow it and the same
tactics were repeated over and over again. In
fact. all that Lambert did was to run around
the stage, trying to keep away from jackson,
and when he failed in that he would duck his
head, rush in and catch Peter around the
waist. That was all there was to it."

The National League schedule was the gen.

ball enthusiasts and players yesterday. The
general opinion seemed to be that it is not at all
an attractive one. League admirers, however.
claim that when it is put into operation it will
be quite successful. There was some surprise
also at the League fixing its opening date on
the Goth when it is understood that the new
league will open on the 2lst. Referring TO this
point Secretary Scandrelt stated that the 26th
was chosen so that the new League schedule
would be almost duplicated by that of the old
League during nearly the entire season.
