wanted to pull in the team himself
He had plenty OF money to back his team,

at the same time apologize for allowing his
excitement to get the better of his Judgment.
Meantime people were beginning to won

Lieutenant Dean in answer to Inquiries
said that Mr.. Mcneil was trying to induce

the Germans had consented to pull again,

Canadians, Native Sons Irish and Cavalry Win.

The cavalry had started quickly, and the
horses wouldn't stop.
1t was a jump and a jerk that pulled the
rope from every riders hand. The red
center-mark was jerked eighteen feet and
the rope fell to the ground.
The cavalry were charging on the stable.
Ii one man had held to the rope long
enough to drag it two feet more the blue
coats would have won.
The Canadians saw their chance, and
picking up the abandoned rope quickly
hauled il past their line and woD.
There was 30-minute recess and then
the Native Sons and the Danes came in.
The former had light horses and the Danes
great, slow. powerful ones. 1t was the
same scene and the same story.
The little horses jerked things galley
vest in jffy. 1t may be that the ref
eree's loud pistol scared the nervous buggy
horses TO victory.
Anyway, there was no tug about 1t,
though it was picturesque, interesting and
exciting enough.
The Native Sons were loudly cheered.
That was about what the mounted tug
Of war was like. 1t is not down TO science
yet, but it's lots of fun.

as he scanned the large crowd which gath
cred around the Enclosure
Smiths personal appearance attracted
much attention.
Around his neck was a huge collar made
of choice assortment Of bear skins.
What Smiths motive was in wearing this
strange ornament no one could conjecture.
To protect his breast and back from acct
dent in case his noble charger would take
notion to kick up a caper and drop Smith
like a hot cake, the rider donned padded
armor, which covered his breast and back.
To say the least Smith looked the most
grotesque tug of-war puller that has ever
appeared on a cleated platform. He was
evidently out TO win and cared little OF
what the spectators said or thought.
After getting his celebrated Clydesdale
into position he beckoned his men TO fall
into line.
They were all powerful. raw-boned ap-
pearing fellows, with set determinations TO
win or die"
When the small men, who were mounted
on small horses trained in army tactics,
drew up and formed into a line on the west
side every one remarked the handicap that
the troopers had 10 coneede their opponents
in the weight of horses.
The knowing onces smiled and suggested
to those who did not understand the secrets
of mounted tug-of-war to say nothing, but
await the result.
The troopers took positions on their
horses similar to the Indian custom during
battle.
They rode with their faces turned toward
| their opponents and with one leg crossing
| the saddle.
In this way they bad the rope resting on
part OF the pgskin, which materially
aided the tuggers when the referee gave the
order to pull by the hiring of pistol.
The Canadians sat in their saddles in the
old way and looked wise.
Are you ready?" shouted the referee.

Smith.
Bangi went the pistol
For second the rome was held taut. and
then like magic the little cavalry horses
plunged on being hit with the steels.
They dashed toward their stables. and as
the big rope slid like creased lightning
through the Canadians fingers, off tumbled
the troopers anchornan from his horse
| and rolled in the sawdust.

work.

from the way the spectators received il.
AnchOrman Smith was oyerj0yed with
the result, and in the attempt 20 take an
erect position on his saddle OF straw he fell
on the horses neck and lost tooth.
He rode home, however with the air of a
warrior bold amid loud and prolonged cheers.

victory when it was almost within his grasp.

to continue the contest.
He accused him Of fraud and said the fall
was intentional and that it lost the cavalry

The matter after much argument was in

imbued with human intelligence.
The Daniards were not so fortunate.
The firing of the pistol made the calico
colored steed shy, and the rope was forced
from its riders hands, while he uttered a
fierce 'carambo."
In an instant the rope slid like creased
lightning through the hands Of the anchor
man and the one next him.
The fourth man hung on like grim death
uaiil he and his steed were dragged under
the bar.
Ii was all over in about FIVE seconds, and
the Irish boys. who looked as cool as cucum-
bers, received an ovation as they rode from
the Enclosure, waving their green caps in
the air.
The captain Of the Irish team remarked
when asked how 1t was that his team made
such short work of their opponents:
why, this is easily explained. You see,
/ am an old country foxhunter. ! have
ridden miles OF country over stone walls,
bikes and mud fences, and / know a good
thing in horse flesh when | see it,
VI have picked my own men and they are
all crack jacks in the saddle.

to one Of his best riders-"has ridden with
Lord Clare's hounds fox years, and he does
not know what il means TO have red coat
discoored with green grass.
why, my dear sir. a bueking horse has
no terrors for US, and you can bet your last
dollar. unless the rope breaks. that we will
march through our opponents jus, as easy
as falling off log when loaded with Irish
poteen.

SOrIE CRITICAL TALK.
What Was Heard i'm the Pavilion
LAST NIGHT

IF the pulls in mounted tug-o war were
not of such a short ORDER" said an old
Scoichman. who seemed interested in the
sport. 1T would certainly prove far more
exciting than tug On ceats."
The speaker evidently hit the nail on the
head, as the people had scarcely begun to
feel an interest in the contests when thew
were brought ID sudden conclusion.
judging from the past two evenings en-
tertainment 1t is reasonable to presume that
tug-0f-war tournament on horseback could
be got to proper focus. so to speak, by a
series of drills. which would educate both
the animals and men to understand their
business.
Horses could be trained to brace them.
selves and move by means of the slightest
touch of the reins. This requires time and
experience.
The horses ridden by cowboys and va
queros are so perfectly trained to the work
that is required of them that it is actually
pretty sight to witness a roundup on the
plains.
Horses can be educated to stand as staneh
as pointer on game BIRDS and that is all
that is required of them in mounted tug
of-war.
III animals trained to cattle chasing were
used IN the present mounted tournament,
instead of heavyweight cart horses, the
results would certainly have given the
best satisfaction.
1t was noticed by many people on the
first night Of the tournament that some OF
the horses ridden by the Spanish team, and
especially the one used by the anchorman,
could have been easily trained to under
stand what was required of them in a tug
of-war contest.
The anchorman's horse. a fne-looking
animal. braced himself on the sawdust
cleats just as II his rider intended stopping
the wild rush of steer.
From this position he did not bulge an
inch until struck in the flank with spur.
Then with bound he dashed toward the
entrance TO the Pavilion.
There is no doubt but that a mounted
tug-of-war tournament could be made a
great success ii horses and men were
trained for this particular feature of sport.

they glanced at the elephants that bore
their stalwart opponents.
1t was said that one of the horses on
which Dane was mounted was a distant
relative of the celebrated mare Geraldine.
which has recently created so much noto-
riety in turf circles.
The animal did look somewhat racy. and
might have been mistaken for thorough
bred were il not for her feet, which re-
sembled very closely the pedals OF a street
car horse that had seen hard days on the
cobbles.
Everything in readiness the big pistol
sounded
In liffy the Sons dashed with the hemp
to victory.
The Danes were nowhere.
In fact. they looked as il squall had
struck them so suddenly as to cause their
defeat.
The man who rode the alleged racer put
spurs TO his animal with the intention of
getting away from public '.josh, but in
stead of moving over ground the racer shot
his hind legs 10 the direction of the raiters
of the building and down came the rider on
his nose.
1t was beautiful pitch, which could not
have been better performed in a hunting
field.
The Sons won an easy victory, and as
they galloped their horses toward home
they received great cheer.

Scarcely had the change in the programme
been announced when the nautical air of
"Rule Britannia" from the band heralded
the APP earance of the Englishmen.

horses. two of them pure white.
The anchorman had an immense saddle on
his back, which gave him the appearance of

The Irish team had been getting every

and 1t seemed to make no impression upon
them whatever.
The Danes had fallen into the same error
Of picking out big horses, and the one on
which the anchorman was mounted was
about as big as good-sized house.
Saddle and all he would have made about
