Probably the most exciting horse
adventure since Lanpher's famous
trOts last summer Occurredlast week.
We publish all the news, and notwith-
standing the close friendship we hold
with the principal participant we give
a detailed account of the episode.
On Friday last we hitched up our
trotter for the purpose of taking a
trip to Morrisville. We were honOred
with the presence of our local John
Wanamaker, and when about to
start from the pOst-Office he had Occa- |
sion to return to his office and lock |
up his bonds and mortgages. While |
awaiting his return, we thought we
could expedite matters by going back
after him. So turning our horse to the
west or at least starting to, the |
sleigh took turn on the smooth ice |
and kept on turning. So with the
horse So delighted was she in circu-
lar movements that she continued on
a spiral trot. AS a result we left the |
sleigh unceremoniously, not giving
any forethought as to howwe should
leave it. Holding on to the lines, we
gave an exhibition of athletic move
ments that could not be equalled by
any ordinary gymnast. First we
took a full length mOvement-the
sleigh cushion, being between us
and the ice, acted as a sort of
lung protector. We fancied we were
taking slide down hill in the posi-
tion best enjoyed by the average
small boy, and rather liked it, But
this delightful experience did not last
long We were suddenly lifted up
from the cushion and revOlved around
through space for several seconds,
the speed of the horse becoming
greater with each revolution. "She
got off her feet and WecOuldn't t bring
her to-" We thought if we could
keep up that tmOyementW we would beat
Nelly Bly's around the world time.
Still we were not allowed to enjoy /
tl,,,4 s,,... ;.,,, Iss,.sx Ne ,lrt,T5-
ped, and went down like McGinty TO
the-earth But we held on to the
lines with the same tenacity that we
do delinquent subscribers. The horse
would occasionally take second place
in the show and give the sleigh the
lead. then we would take a lead in !
the grand circuitous demonstration,
followed by the rest of the annex.
We three, horse sleigh and ourself,
held together with wonderful adhe-
siveness-each one bound to come off
victorious in the struggle, and would !
perhaps have kept up the rotary
movement'a a long time had not Town
Clerk Noyes put stop to the exhibit
ton (which by this time had drawn
quite an array of spectators J by
grabbing the propelling power by the
head. We gathered ourself together,
and. taking an inventory, found no
damage done, all owing to the fact
that we carry one Of McFarland's ac-
cident policies, Had we not invested
in one Of those documents we would
probably have been divested of much
of our usual agility. "All's well that
ends we'll
