triflng Incident happened on Monday evening al
O'Clock when the parade of stations took place. This
daily parade Is one of the most interesting features Of
ue snow and all the horses the classes designated
are required TO be shown. The sale OF the maslil-
cent hackney stallion Matchless Of Londesboro TO

on his own responsibility.
