An Englishman Covers the Dis
lance With One Horse.
Letter to the London Times: 1t is
needless for me to compare the average
swlftness or strength of a horse as
against that of man, as it is we'll
established fact that for strength and
speed combined the horse has no rival.
But it is quite another thing when we
consider the latent staying power or
physical endurance of a horse over that
of man. This was supposed to have
been proved conclusively in favor of a
man blythe remarkable walking achieve
ment performed few years ago by
Weston. who, as your readers may re-
member, walked 5000 miles in sixty
consecutive days-barring Sundays
covering, partly upon a prepared track,
fifty miles in each day. 1t was said at
the time that it would require two we'll
bred horses to successfully compete
with Weston.
In past and present times for speed
we have remarkable examples upon rec
ord, and among these | may mention
that of ThornhilI, an innkeeper from
Stiltou, Huntingdonshire. who rode.
with a relay of horses, 213 miles in IL
hours and II minutes. III 1850 the Earl
of March drove team of four horses
nineteen miles in one hour. There was
in this case specially prepared car
riage and harness, and these were SO

upon 1.000-mile drive-dog cart. pas

bility of our covering 500 miles at an
average of fifty miles a day, or LOCO
miles, averaging about forty-f0ur miles
day, and was teld that the shadow of
disappointment was awaiting me, and
was advised to abandon the proposed
drive, as no horse would be equal to it.
The result, however, has given a con-
tradiction to this, and has proved con-
clusively, l maintain, that horse has,
under proper control and care, more en-
durance than is supposed. We covered
the 1000 miles in nineteen days, averag-
ing over ffty-two miles a day. The
longest distance-namely, sixty-two
miles-was covered in the last day.
When the following circumstances are
taken into consideration, claim have

We selected roads at random, and
they proved to be very billy, covered
with loose stones, generally unfavOra-

The route taken was somewhat as fol-

is fifteen hands high and we'll bred, and

not be performed unless an equal

covered.

A Story Whose Sequel May Be in

"A story whose Sequel May BE in
the Marriage Notices.
New York Herald.
A young lady entered car on the
New York and New England road at
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
yesterday and walked up to the only
vacant seat beside gentleman who
was intentlY reading letter.
Engaged, slr?" she asked.
Just missed it. She writes that she
is sister of mine now," answered the
gentleman, absent-mindedly, without
looking up.
IL beg your PARDON" stammered
the confused young lady, but may
I-?"
"Never again for me-" interrupted
the excited gentleman.
The young lady, fearing that she
might have lunatic for nelghbor if
she took the seat, turned her back. in
tending to go into another car at the
next stop.
Meanwhile the gentleman had finished
his letter and taken his bearings. No
ticing the lady standing while there was
seat vacant next to his, he politely no.
titled her of the fact.
After some hesitation she blushingly
accepted.
Then, he having fully recovered his
composure, what had just occurred
gradually dawned upon him and he felt
it incumbent upon himself to offer the
young lady an apology. which she re-
ceived so graciously that explanations
of more confidential nature soon fol-
lowed, and when | left the train at
Brewster's they were on fair way to
become brother and sister, if nothing
better, he having apparently forgotten
his previous expressed resolution

POLLY AND THE MINISTER.
Did They Have Family Prayers
at Sister Robins House?

Wide Awake.
Sister Robbins lay upon her sick bed,
watching the clock, the slant of the sun
beams and occasionally talking to her
Polly-a wise-looking and gray parrot,
with glittering eyes and brilliant scarlet
tail. 1t would be better, perhaps, to
say that she replied to Polly, for the par
rot was by far the more laxative.
There came a rap at the door of the
room.
''Who!" said Polly.
''Come ill.," said Sister Robbins.
The visitor entered, and proved to be
the Methodist minister. Polly crept 70
Mrs. Robbins and cuddled close up to
the ladY's neck, laying her graS pate
close beside her mistress cheek. After
some conversation the minister proposed
to Sister Robbins that they have "a sea-
son OF prayer" and accordingly knelt
by her bedside, and. with closed eyes
and devout voice, began to pray.
Polly's eyes glittered more than ever.
She crept unnoticed from her place of
refuge, and with slow-lifted claws and
noiseless step over the white counter
pane went close to the unconscious
minister. She scanned him meditatively
and then, when her head was so near
his that you would have thought his ear
In danger of being shipped off, she sud-
denly cried out in the clearest tones:
"What in the world are you doing?"
Sister Robbins finds it hard to con-
vince the minister that they have family
prayers. He says Polly's evidence is
against her.

IN OKLAHOMA.

Where rolleth the Verdigris down to the sea,
Where Chickasaw roameth through fiowery
lea,
Where the azure Woweka sweeps on its way
From old Potawatamie down to the bay;
Where chirpeth the fiipflap out of the gloam.
And the sad phillalo sings of mother and

With my Cherokee maiden ensconced on my

Oh,my Kickapoo darling I'm pining for thee
Oh its vain that the gcwgaw disports in the

And the pollywog glints in the slippersome
sedge,
Or the proud cockadoodle sweeps down from
her nest
And scars on the blizzard that yawps in the
West
The dodo may wall i'll the simmer moon,
And charm the dull Seminole ear with his
tune;
But still pour my passionate tide
OF love that bear for the Klckapoo bride.
| chase the fierce tittlebat out of his lair,
l lure the shy gingersnap into my snare:
/ hunt the wild tattletale over the HILL
And coax the coy cocklepurr out of the rill,
Ane then the Arapahoe virgin is glad,
And the Boggywok squaw in her wampum is
clad,
And my Tishmingc beauty goes hiphop with
And my Kickapoo darling rcclines on my

games contribute more than a certain
modicum to the players strength. In
deed | have known fairly good per-
former who could no more explain why
or how he made certain shots than he
could tell why fish cannot breathe out
of water as we'll as in water. He had
worked in billiard hall from early
boyhoOd, and he had natural tact-that
was all. All he knew was that he gave
his ball certain stroke and the Shot
was made. And the stroke, by the way,
is the true sequel to the game. If you
have good stroke you can soon rank
well up among the luminaries. l have
noticed that goodly number of st.
PauPS young men are learning this
principle, and they are advancing so
fast that they surprise their friends as
well as themselves. Shots are made in

exhibition the other night of fancy
shots, and | watched very closely. He
can place the balls in position and strike
the cue ball and complete follow OF a
draw from the object ball as he pleases,
and hit the cue ball precisely in the
same spot each time. This indicates
that he is
Master of the Stroke.
Jules Mazer, the whilom Northwest
ern champion. has shots that are hard
for any one to duplicate. While he
lacks the nurse stroke that makes the
game for the more successful profess

over the table. Relatively he is strong
er either at the space game or at cushion
caromS than at the popular balk line.
Still. while 1t may sound paradoXical,
julie is good rall-Shot player where the
stroke is confined entirely to nursing.
In many essential particulars this con-
diti0n is true of young Tom Foley, the
likely st. Paul amateur. He plays diff
cult shots. nurses well, and is very
effective in playing position, but he
falls down on comparatively easy shots
or lines up the balls now and then when
they should have dropped into perfect
position. But he is improving rapidly,
and he seldom plays a game without
scoring run of over thirty or forty
points.
OF all the games the space game is
the most difficult. 1t was invented for
Sexton in 1885 by Thomas Foley, then
of Chicago, but now of this CITY, Sex
TON lost his nurse stroke in some unac-
countable way, and he was discouraged
Foley came to his aid and studied out
the space game. 1t had never been
played in st. Paul until Foley showed
it to Jules Mayer, because of the pecu-
harity or eccentricity of his stroke. The
table is marked off into four equal parts
up and down in the center from end
to end, and then across the center later
ally from Slde rail- 10 SIDE RAIL- AS i'll
the balk line game, only two shots can
be made in any space without crossing
the line; but there is no mutual ground
as there is in balk line. That is, in
other words. there is no portion of the
table where the balls can be located
where the pfohibitive rule does not
apply. In the balk line game. if the
balls are in the center of the table, the
player may make as many shots as
he can without crossing the balk line.
The space game was designed to take
the place of cushion caroms. 1t does
not limit like the cushion carom game,
however. 1t simply limits nursing and
confines the shots to open table play.
The biggest run ever made was scored
by Schaeffer-52-and an average of 6 TO
9is big for any one.
Vigneaux has the biggest balk line
average record. He made it at Central
Music hall in Boston in November, 1885,
in game with Slosson. Strange to re-
late, the record has never been pub
lished. Thomas Foley sent away and
got it recently as a matter of curiosity.

General Gossip of the Game
and the Hen Who
Make 1t.

The heated term is ended, and the
young men are meditating upon the
problem of how to get the most enjoy
ment out of their leisure hours. AS a
rule those who have talent in that way
choose billiards. The game has pecuI-
lar charm that faScinates. The player
who improves sequentially finds himself
drawn to the table by latent desire to
excel, and the player who was never de-
signed by the Creator to become an
adept works away steadily and persist
emily to overcome his inherent awkward
ness. So it is remarked by one who
visits certain billiard parlors that a
great many young men-and old ones.
tOo-are invariably to be found deeply
and earnestly engrossed III the game at
some hour during the day or evening.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-09-27

1t is noted that different men have diff
ferent hours for recreation and pas
times. To the night toiler the forenoon
is his heyday of enjoyment. but to the
vast majority the evening is the most
convenient.
AS base ball is rightly designated the
national field game, so billiards should
rejoice IN the dignity of the national
parlor game. Not that it is an Ameri-
can game, however, for it Is not, in its
incipiency at least. Still, the modern
game, which is American. is so dissim-
4lar to either the French or English
games that it is not piracy upon them to
designate it as | have above.
Billiards transcend all other sports in
point of possibilities. And the most re-
-markable feature, and the one feature
that is the distinctive characteristic of
the game, is that few performers ever
become really great. There is, tor il
iustration, Jake" Schaefer, although
there are several lesser lights in the
ivory set armament who exhibit re-
markable talents and skill. TO excel
one must have the talent. No amount
of scholastic erudition, no amount of
knowledge or skill in other intricate
