to the onlooker, for superiority In any
one of the feats undertaken be tokens on
the part of the rider skill OF one kind or
another over his antagonists, whilo the
situations of the contestants are con-
stantly made lively and amusing.
The races-''games" they should more
properly be called-are given upon a
polo field or in any open meadow which
can be conveniently staked of for the
events and which is fairly level A box
and railing erected at a convenient
spot serves for a judges stand, while the
spectators can roost upon fence rails, II
the dignity and comfort Of grand
stand can not be readily had. The
ground itself should give a straight
away gallop of three or four furlongs.
Around this a course can be laid of with
pennants according to the requirements
Of each OF the races. longer or shorter
stretch being used, according to the
problems which the riders are given to
solve.
In order to give better idea Of the
games, however, the writer viii de-
scribe thom as they occurred at Oyster
Bay and at Cedarhurst, n. Y, this year,
the only two places in which they have
yet been given. At these places. OF
course, all the appendages OF comfort
are already provided in the established
polo fields, with their stands, dressing
rooms and other paraphernalia. Regu-
lar entries are made for the different
events, rider usually putting his name
down for all Of them, as it is not too
hard for his pony to struggle through
the list. ..
An entry fec OF one dollar is charged
to each contestant and first and second
prizes are offered in each event Polo
balls, buckets, spoons, umbrellas and
oil the objects necessary for tho races
are provided By the committee getting
up the games.
Tho feats to Do performed consist in
solving problems with these various
articles which require dexterity,
good horsemanship. coolness or some
such qualification on the part OF the
rider. while on the part of the
pony obedience and fearlessness are

the harder are the b1ttons 70 fad
For third We may have the spoon
and egg" race. an extremely eifieult
one which consists in making the cir
cult OF the field holding an egg balanced
in a wooden spoon. If the egg drops the
rider must return 10 the start for an
other and begin his wanderings over
again.
The fourth race will consist in quar-
ter-rile race, the course of which is
broken by three sunken buckets Each
entry is provided with three polo balls
and must drive these along the ground
from the starting point dropping one
ball in each OF the three buckets and
then crossing the finishing limo.
Still another very amusing race is the
''um brella and cigar" race. Riders arc
dismounted at the start and are given
an Umbrella. cigar and box Of
matches The cigar must be lit, the
umbrella opened and the rider must
reach goal with the cigar lighted and
his umbrella in good shape and opened.

The following is t, ken from the
Ashland Ne,rs: sFor several DAYS
there has been an intelligent look
ing gentleman at the Aldine hotel.
but as he had very lite to sly. no
one learned his bushes until Tues
day, when it leaked out that he was
an inventor. When it became
known that he was the in, eotor of
a simple device that can be attach
ed to the ordinary nail ma .hine
and on which steel and iron nails
are cut, excitement ran high. His
Invention can be attat hid to any
machine at little expen, e and will.
no doubt, revol itionize the nail Ia
dustry, as the wire nail machines
are very costly, and by Il e new ar
rangement the old machines can be
changed to cut wire nails Mt very
little cost to the manufacturer. One
OF the machines was gwen a test at
the Norton Nail Mill Yesterday,
and we are informed that the trial
was very satisfactory. While not
officially stated, it is quite probable
that the Norton Company will
change the greater part of their
machines.

notwithstanding the election is
over, we do notintend to stop the dis
cnssion of the tariff tax. 1t is hard
to make people believe that tho tariff
is a tax put upon them, way beyond
the needs of the government, econ
omically administered, to make
them pay tribute to the rich manu-
facturers. Prejudice is hard to ov-
ercome. The best educator on this
subject will be your groccrs' bill;
your dry goods bill; your clothing
bill, and your bills for-all the neces-
saries of life. There is no protect
ion for the workingmen of this
country. Their labor has to com
+ pete with the labor of the whole
world. 1t is absolute free trade for
them The cry of the high tariffites
that the tariff is for the benefit of
the workingmen, is a snare and a
delusion, for it don't add one cent
of increase to their wages; but on
the other hand their wages are
being gradually reduced every
day, and if they refuse to accept
the reduction their places are filed
with cheap contract labor from Eu-
rope. Who can gainsay this truth2
As we said in the outset, we intend
10 kcepthis robber tariff prominent
~ before the people, and to expose
its iniquitics. We want to help the
people to learn and see that they
are being Systematically robbed for
the benefit of favored few. We
believe in a tariff for revenue, suffi-
cient to carry on the government,
and to pay liberal pensions to our
soldiers, and that is all we do be-
lieye in. Any higher tariff tax is
downright robbery of the people.

The Northwestern Miller is origi-
nal and not political in it's shumani-
tartan views on the Mckinley tariff;
"There is one point advanced by
some supporters of the Mckinley
bill which is, we think, utterly at
variance with all accepted ideas OF
American fairness aud honor; q
point which we are ashamed to see
brought forward and which we hope
will be forever dropped when It's
real significance is comprehended.
The point is this: That the passage
of the Mckinley bill has already
brought distress upon certain manu-.
facturers- in Europe, and caused
them to close up their works. and
discharged their help. In this age
ard in this country Of all countries
on the globe, man should be
ashamed TO bring forward such an
argument, America, in order to be
prosperous, does not need to pass
laws which will bring distress upon
people in other and less : favored

at such a result is narrow minded,
