On the popular drives OF any Of car
western cities the pleasure OF rioing
and driving would seem-at timcs~-.to
be almost given over to laden and
children. And IL IL not for pleasure
alone that the western woman takes
up the reins. Often times IL has fallen
20 her share in the hard struggle OF
pioneer life to ave a pair OF maseu-
line hands a part OF the heavy tee n
ing'' about a new ranch or 20 sit in ooe
OF the wagons OF an emigrant trim
and urge the toiling horses along day
after day. / bethink me OF one LADY
now IA dainty young matron who would
pass muster In any drawing room
who, when only a little girl. took the
place OF a sick brother and drove n
OF her fathers teams n matter OF 2, 900
miles across the plains and mountains
on their westward journey.
And yet, with all her proficiency
perhaps because OF tit may be
truthfully said OF the western horse
woman that she Is seldom ''horsey."
She does not bewilder you by dealing
in technical horse talk. and her knowl-
cage OF nOTsc lOft II 30
practical that she is almost uncon-
scious OF it herself. She may not
know the sporting records. but she
knows the horses she handles ms she
knows her own muscles, and spares
or urges them accordingly. She may
not adjust her smart riding attire with
miniature whips and horseshoes-she
may wear a plumed hat or even a sun
bonnet instead OF the regulation beav-
er-but II her horse goes suddenly
lame she knows enough to get down,
II necessary. and examine his feet for
n possible tone which may be wedged
into his shoe. She often feeds and
waters her favorites with her own
hands.

over the child's bed hunting for Ia

peared. only returning occasionally.

tion is now made that while such change
was one purpose of the meeting, the
principal subject to be considered was the
overdrawal of his account by II. Webster
Crowl to the amount of 100000. President
Baker in making his report to the stock
holders said that the bank had met with re-
verses on account of the incapacity or un-
trustworthiness of its cashier, to the ex-
tent of $4,000. II. Webster Crowl has
been allowed to overdraw his account
without his (the President's) know
ledge and entirely unknown to the

POULTRY AND PIGEONS.


The poultry show was much more large
ly attended yesterday than on the opening
day and many ladies were among the
visitors who inspected and admired the
magnificent ,,Ilinaceous and columbine
specimens On exhibition.
NnKc11oS BIZ THE JUDGES.
The judges were busily engaged through
out the entire day examining the various
fowls preparatory 10 awarding the prizes,
and excitement ran high among the
chicken-fanciers as they saw their birds
undergoing the critical inspection OF the
The task of judging the poultry, by the
way. Is not an easy one, as every chicken
has to be carefully weighed and each point
carefully considered Even the combs
and gills of the fowls help to make up their
merits or domerits.
PRINCE IN NAMr AND PRINCE IN MERIT.
Prince O magnificent black Lang
shan cock, is the hero of the show. he Is
the sweepstake winner OF the silver cup,
and magnificent specimen. His bearing
clearly indicates that he feels bis I'M
portance, and at brief intervals through
out the day his deep bass clarion may be
heard. This bird is owned by Messrs. j.
! B. and 4. w. Cooper, of Richmond, pro-
| prietors of the Winder Poultry Yards.
The Messrs. Cooper also won the silver
cup for the finest pair of fowls In the
| Asiatic class. Prince" and his mate,
beautiful glossy hen, we're the winners OF
| this prize.
LILLIpUTrAss OF THE GENUS CHICKEN.
II was rather singular fact that after
| the judges had conferred the laurels of the
show upon the big black rooster they next
| turned to the Lilllputians of the exhibition,
| the bantams. These little fellows have
throughout the entire time OF the show
| maintained their rights by Tapping their
| wings and Growing as loud as their lungs
| would permit.
| The black breasted red game bantams
owned by Mr.. X. Miller, of this city, scored
| ninety-fiye points and won the first pre-
| MUM for the bantams of this class. The
| pullet of this coop scored ninety-tnree
| The weight Of the cock is only nineteen
and one half ounces, while the hens
weigh seventeen and sixteen ounces re-
! spectively.
| The black-breasted red game cockerel
owned by Mr.. Z. NJ. Zacharias scored
ninety-fve points and won the prize.
| MANCHESTER BANTAMs HOLD THEIR OWN.
Manchester is by no means behind in re-
gard to fine exhibition OF poultry. The
| silver-duckling game bantams owned by
Messrs. w. q. Owens and II. s. Bradley, OF
that city, took the second prize, while the
red pyle bantams belonging to these
gentlemen won the first.
u SOME LUCKY PIoEoN-FASCIERs.
The varieties of pigeons on exhibition
Are very numerous, and all of the gentle
birds are exceedingly beautiful.
Out of forty-two pair exhibited by Cap
tam Bush, thirty pair took first premiums
and four second premiums.
Mr.. Ed. Brown won four premiums out
Of five exhibits; Messrs. Lipscomb and
nephew eleven premiums out of sixteen
exhibits, while Messrs. Miller and Kinder
water were phenomenally lucky and took
premiums for each of the ten pair OF
4 pigeons shown by them.

INJUSTICE TO Mr.. NORTON
The vice-President Not In Auywise Re-
sponsible for MONDAYS Coup d'Etat
fBy telegraph 70 the Dispatcn.I

WASHINGTON, January THE Vice -Presi-
dent has been criticised in some quarters
on account of his absence from the chair
at the time Mr.. Stewart made his motion
to take up the financial bill. Tho facts are
that before he left the char, as usual for
his lunch after tho morning business had
been concluded. Mr.. George had been
recognized to continue an unfinished
speech on the elections bill. and had conf
menced his speech on that bill with
large number of books on his
desk, apparently for reference. The Vice
President had not the most remote idea
that any other business would be consid-
cred during the day. II Is customary with
any presiding officer and considered mat
ter of courtesy to ask senators on either
side of the chamber to take the chair when
the presiding officer has occasion to vacate
it temporarily. and on this occasion
Mr.. Harris was called to the chair. No
other ruling could have been made by
the vice-President or any other sena-
tor than that made by Mr.. Harris,
as Mr.. George had yielded the floor. and
Mr.. Stewart was the only senator asking
recognition, and therefore it was the plain
duty of the presiding officer to recognize
him and to put his motion. Upon receiving
from Mr.. Hoar the first intimation that
the Vice-President had that Mr.. George
was not continuing his speech and that Q
vote was being taken the Vice-President
Immediately resumed the chair.
