over if II is TO cut an important figure
in ladies' riding tournaments, it will give
few contestants great advantage over
others, while lacking grace in their

tional with contestants for prizes offered
for "grace and SKILL" whether or not they
give exhibitions of such dangerous char
acter. If some one or two among the
number are fortunate enough to have
horses trained in leaping, it may be well
enough for them to show that woman
can sit jumping horse as well as some
cowboys can, and let it go for what it is
worth.
The ladies will ride again on Friday next,
when the prizes will be awarded.

A complicated case was brought into
the Central police station yesterday after
noon. II was that Of n man who had sue
ceeded in beating n 'drop-a-nickel-in-the-
slot box, on the corner OF Third and
Jefferson streets. Tire maj who was
able TO perform this Tea was John Lewis,
and he is said to nave made a thorough
study Of the subject before risking his
nickel. He first bored a hole in the coin
and then fastened To il n small black silk
thread. He then dropped II nickel I'm
The slot as directed by the sign and drew
mi "A cigar. Seeing that nothing was
stated IN the directions as To how many
times one nickel could he dropped in, he
drew his nickel al and dropped IL in
again. Succeeding the second time, he
continued to drop and continued to draw
until bc cmpticd the box. by the time he
had drawn the 18th cigar quite a crowd
had gathered around him and cheered
him ON. Their cries attracted Officers
Schradcl and D~onahue, who arrested
Lewis and took him from the circle in
which lie had become n hero.
Al the station house he question arose
as To what he should he charged with.
After several suggestions Of robbery, bur

him disor,lcrly conduct. He was taken
out ON bond a little later 10y some OF those
whose cries had attracted the police.

What "RurgOO" Ii.

"Burgoo," explained Col. James Orr,
of Covington, lis one of the Oldest Ken
lucky dishes we have No one knows
who first made 'burgoo,' nor does any
one know where or how it got its queer
name. 'Burgoo' is an out of doors crea-
ton, and pots of 'burgoo' have simmered
over a hot fire in the sun at every big
political gathering in the state since
Henry Clay was a boy, and years before
that, too. 1t is not only an extremely
palatable dish, if you can call it that,
but it's very nourishing. 'Burgoo' is a
cross between u stew and a soup. 1t is
always made in the open air.
How is it made? Well, l take big
cauldron, put some red pepper pods in
the bottom, add some potatoes, tomatoes
and corn; then put in half dozen prairie
chickens, as many more tender yellow
legs and a couple of dozen soft shell
crabs. l add some young squirrels when
they can be obtained. When everything
is in readiness there is enough water put
into the cauldron to just make the con-
tents float.
Then it is put on the fire. 1t must
be allowed to simmer slowly for six
hours, and must be stirred constantly
with a hickory stick. A hickory stick is
best and is always used, but another
might do as we'll. When it is nearly
done it may be favored to suit the taste.
