strates the fact that Sank Centre need
not 60 away from home nor import tai

good music. The program was excel
lently rendered, and the evening was an
enjoyable one from first to last. The

enjoyable feature, and two sweeter little

day evening. The music, the singing and
the speaking were excellent. The audi

the building. The Sons ofVeterans deserve
great credit for the satisfactory manner
in which the programme was carried
out.
ALUMNI AssoCIATIoN.-The programme
committee of the S. c. H. S. A. A. met at
the residence of Mrs. L. Mullen on Tuesday
evening and arranged programme for the
annual reunion of the society to take place
in June.
Committees we've appointed and arrange
ments made TO carry out the work planned,
and it is expected that splendid time will
be had.
The executive officers will be notified of
the proposed plans, and after their approval,
their secretary in due time will notify each
member of what is expected of him or her.

Baaser started Biddy after the fast

headed her back for the focus OF tho
camera. "Now" he yelled as he dashed
by on a hard run, and with a wild swoop
he reached with his loft hand for the
trailing riata. His only hold it seemed
was by the compression Of his right heel
against the face Of the saddle cantel and
a light grip on wisp Of Biddy's mano.
Almost before he was down he was up
again, taking turn around the horn
and checking Biddy. She braced her

work of the more notable of the South
End vaqueros. Billy Roche, Frank Ran

brothers, 'Blolle" Ilarney, George Jinks,
Grant Pyle, Frank Pate, Tom O'Day,
Jack Lillard and hundred other ex-
perts were out but all were too busy
with their every duties to stop or to
talk or illustrate their tricks OF rope and
saddle. Fred Baaser, smooth-faced lad,
who was born here a score OF years ago
and has been in the saddle ever since,
had an of day, however. and consented
70 show of little for the benefit Of the
Examiners commissioners. lie had just
completed the education OF handsome
three-year-old flly with teaching her to
stand and keep RATA taut while he dis
mounted and removed the rope from tho
horns of a refractory steer.
'lt's handy to know how to get on a
horse quick. he began, when the cam
era was in focus. "Most Of tho boys do
1t this way"
His left hand touched the pommel and
the bridle-reins at the same time; the
right reached for the cantel Biddy,
the flly, started forward, and with her

toward the rest OF tho herd, in spite Of
her plunging, excited much admiration
for Biddy. A similar exhibition was
given of towing sull1y steer, that rc-
fused to be driven or prodded in the
right direction.
Baaser confessed that be had never
been in an Indian country and had not
had experience in fighting on the run.
but he was familiar with the tricks of
some Of the boys who had, and illus
trated them. The commonest piece OF
work in this line is shooting under the
horses neck while lying extenoed in
such a manner as to have the body al
most entirely protected from bullets Of
an enemy in front or on the side. Either
rifle or pistol can be effectively handled
by clever rider in this manner. Pick
ing up a wounded or dismounted COM
rade at full gallop is an easy matter
when the rider knows how 70 do it. The
favorite grip is over the back and under
the arms, and with horse and rider in
accord rescue OF this sort is effected

spaces between the points, and If they
are just long enough for each space to
be twenty-four and three-fourths inches,
the implement will measure accurately

sharp as to sink into soft ground The
axle is an iron rod with !. nut on each
end, and a sole-leather washer is placed
between. A suitable size for the spokes
is half an inch thick and one-and -a-half
inches wide at the hub, taperihg to an
inch or less at tho point Sometimes a
wagon wheel has been used, but it is
too heavy, and the jerks which its
weight causes, makes it inaccurate. On

measuring of our wheel not to vary

the run with the same marvellous swoop
as before.
"They say thatsome of the boys catch
jack-rabbits out on the plains, but
never saw them do it, for my work has
been mainly confined to Butchertown,
and we don't have iack-rabblts over
here. There is dog that I'll practise
on, though, and you can get an idea of
how 1t is done"
A small kiyi was chasing down tho
road at tho time, and Baaser after him.
The terrier was elusive for a time, but
finally kept on in a straight line, and in
an instant Baaser was alongside. He
had to make a wide reach this time,
and there was a foot of daylight be-
tween his body and Biddy's side when
he clutched doggy by the ears and nape
OF the neck and swung him into the
saddle.
The next exhibition was of the horses
intelligence in keeping a taut rope on a
steer that turned ugly and pursued the
horse and his rider The bracing was
perfect and tho manipulation OF the
rooe in keeping the steers head turned
