aged TO enjoy herself pretty thoroughly,
assisted to II large extent, 10y Col. Will
lis, OF the governors staff, who was
palpably smitten.
OF course Phil saw her several times;
generally, however, when he and his
"fellow-slaves" were undergoing com
pany drill, with lot of giggling girla
and smirlSing staff officers looking on
and the real and fancied Sights ranlSled
deeply, but he was helpless.
There had been great preparations
for the celebration of the Fourth. 1t
was to be sort of cooperative cele bra
tion. In the forenoon there was TO be
big parade and sham battle at Fair
field in the afternoon. speeches and a
circus at Midway; and in the evening,
Chester, the next town on the river be-
low Midway, was to furnish fireworks
and q grand ball, after which the visit
ors from Fairfield and Midway were to
return home by steamboat, along with
more fireworks.
The evening of the third, Private
Hull, having permission from his cap
tain to be absent, hurried up town
and up Locust avenue to the Porter
abode to tell Dorothy that he would
be at liberty to take her to the "do-
ings" atMidway and Chester next day.
Dorothy, who was beginning to feel u
bit ashamed of herself for having had
such good time while Phil had been
shut up in camp, was delighted, and
for two hours talked of little else than
what they were to do next day. The
more she talked the more Phil thawed,
and it took them much longer to part
at the gate than usual; and Private
Hull went back to camp more in love
than ever, and Dorothy went to sleep
feeling real good girl.
OF course, next morning, before it was
fairly dawn, the small boys were out
with their frecrackers and toy cannons;
then the old six-pounder at the court
house greeted the rising sun with a
resonant BOOM" and volley of
weeds; then at the blacksmith shop
some old soldiers began firing off an
anvil; then the morning gun at the
camp doomed out over the lake; the
rafting of small arms and frecrackel
explosions became almost incessant
and soon the Fourth of July was ready
for business, and everybody, dressed il
his best suit of clothes, was out on the
streets, accompanied by his family, al
looking patriotic, cheerful and ex
pectant.
At nine a. m. Dorothy, with bevy
of other girls and few staff officers
was in the balcony of the leading hotc
waiting for the procession. After what
seemed an hour, but was really twenty
minutes, it turned the corner down by
the mill. The veterans and the loca

to the ground and he fell on his hands

street, while Sergt. Adams file

balcony, marched right along to similar
grief, for just as Private Hull attempted
to rise the file-closer was upon him and
they fell together in sprawling heap

Sd"
To say that Dorothy was mortified
would hardly express her feelings. Her
face still burned when fifteen minutes
later she was joined, on her way to the
lake and the scene of the sham battle,
by Col. Willis.
"Good morning, Miss Porter" he
said, saluting. "Did you meet Miss
Briefly? She was 10 tell you, believe,
that we will start on the three o'clock

"Why-why, don't understand, Col.
Willis. Who are we?'
The colonel looked at her reproach-
fully. "You don't really mean to tell
me you have forgotten the arrangement
we made day before yesterday? 1t was
understood, believe, that you, Maj.
Woods, Miss Briefly and myself were
to constitute party"
Which was more or less true. Doro-

been something of the kind spoken of,
but she had not thought of it until now.

A Song for the Fourth of July.
o, I'm jolly rocket,
AS 1 shoot along the sky,
For burst out from my socket
In the twinkling Of an eye,
And upward go whiZzing
In o reckless sort of way,
In q manner free and hZZing,
Just to celebrate the day.
Twas in the kingdom flowery
That first beheld the light
Midst q cracking company showery,
All bedecked in colors bright,
But my nature 50 aspiring
Could not brook a long delay,
So from the field retiring,
Shot in space, that very day.
The Fourth to me is jolly,
When with all my kith and kin
can join them in their folly,
Making noise and fearful din.
The wheel and Roman candle
To my family belong,
But shock them as vandal,
AS shoot the sky along.
Ny head is often dizzy,
And as heavy as brick,
And its ever when most busy
That lose my precious stick,
But love the din and crackle
or an Independence day."
And there is uaught that can me shaclSle
When I'm on my slSyward way.
But when the day is over
And the night comes ON apace,
then, as u brilliant rover,
First exhibit all my grace.
Above the torches flaring,
And above the loud huzza,
can see the crowds all staring,
And can hear their deafening "A-a-a-hl'

Garrison jumped into fame very sud
denly. He learned TO ride In the stable
Of ". C. Daiy, OF Hartford, Conn. His
FIRST mount was or Belle Of the North,
cnrrying rs pounds, and he ran I'M
placed In mile and half
race won by Brambalctta
at Brighton Beach, June 20
1852. His first winning mount was on
Monk on Aug. 9, 1882. The record Of
his first year as a rider was i9 winning
mounts out of q total Of So. In 1ss3 be
became very prominent through win
ming the Great Eastern Handicap with
Dutch Roller, at sheepsbead Bay. A
field OF ls Of the best two-year-olds Of
the year started In this race. In 1854
he rode War Eagle second in the Sub
urban. In 1888 he YVES engaged FOR the
season by the clipsiana stable.
In 1887 he and McLaugh-
lin had close race for the
championship, which the latter OBJ
tanned with lead Of about n dozen
winning mounts. One year Garrison
rode for Congressman Scott, another
year for MIR. belmont and another
year for Mr.. Haggin. Last year he
rode for whom and whenever he
pleased He piloted Tenny in most Of
his races and won some valuable
stakes, the richest of which were the
Lorillard, with Torso, ut Monmouth
Park, and the Great American, with
Russell, at Brooklyn. Ho also rode the
winners OF Ocean, July, Stevens, Eaton
town, May, fremont, Siren, Withers,
Labor Day and Double Event stakes,
and the Elberon, Amboy, New York
Jockey club and Twin City handicaps.
During the present season Garrison has
ridden the winners Of the Suburban

and time and again he has figured in

OF Malone or Fry, Garrison is also
n great admircr " boxers, and he has
frequently backed pugilists to box for
81 200, and his chs Hpon has won.
Garrison dresses modestly and is very
particular about his acquaintance,
always hobnobbing with the better
rncing stable, and at present owns
horses, lie is always eager TO win and
delights in making grnnd-staud hn-
ishes, and oftcu he has been beaten on
the post by an cyelash by not winning
by a length, believing that hc could, to
use turf phrase, pump his horse
in ON the last jump. He IL popular
favorite, and his mounts are always
backed no matter II the horse he
is ON Is inferior TO the others. At the
time Richard X. Fox offered the dia-
mond whip for the jockey champion

by Mclaughlin by few mounts, owing
TO Garrison being Riel5 II Is probable
with the retirement OF Woods, the
famous English Jockey and the death
Of Fred Archer, that Garrison is the
best jockey In the world
Garrison probably lives in better
style than any OF tho other Jockeys.
His home in Sixth avenue, Drooldyn, is
n brownstono house, four stories high,
and ia one OF the most attractive houses
on the block. 1t is not easily missed,
as the carriage block on the sidewalk
bears the name OF Garrison, cut la 1t In
large letters There are handsome
large plate glass doors at the head OF
the stoop, through which one is nd
mitted into vestibule and then
through other doors into the hall. One
would know at once, upon entering the
hall, that the owner OF the house was
fond Of horses, II not that his pro
fcssion lay entirely with horses. The
hall stand Is Of horsey design and
is made OF antique oak, decorated
with brass. The pnrlors are very
tastefully and prettily furnished. Some

man has invented a system of extra
hands which can be applied not only
to new watches, but 70 the old ones al

placed below the principal ones, from
which they differ both in form and
color. They are manipulated through
a small arm, by which they can either
be locked so as to move with the prin-
cipal hands or, separated from them,
move individually.
If a differer of minutes is TO be
