What the Manhattan Railway Company
wants was made known to the Rapid-Transit
Commits sionerS yesterday. The most impor-
tant proposal is for road mp Seventh-ave. to
Forty fourth-st., and thence along Broadway.
the Boulevard and Eleven;h-ave. TO Fort
George OH the East Side an extension to Ford
ham is contemplated and there are conne-
tons between the Sixthave road and the
Bridge with ferries, etc. planned for and also
a road in West-st. II is evident that the Man.
haitian Company has consulted its own interest
rather than the public :, especially in stopping
short of the northern boundary on both sides
of the city. Serious opposition to the use Of
Broadway and the Boulevard for an elevated
structure may be looked for.
Mayor Gilroy has got his speedway plan so
far advanced that he laid the details of it be-
fore the Board of Street-Opening yesterday.
II is to extend along the westerly bank OF the
Harlem River from One-hundred- and fifty
ifth-st. TO Dyckman-st., distance of over two
miles Of course the project is modest ono
compared with the magnificent scheme for a
Boulevard north of the Harlem which Mayor
Grant thrust upon the public just before the
close of his term. The most astonishing thing
about it is its modest cost Mr.. Gilroy's lib
eral estimate" is that this will be ~ ,O32 200
Before beginning work upon this driveway, the
Mayor should be put under bonds to keep the
expenditure within the amount named by him.

HOW FAR TO DRIVE
A Brief Lesson in Equine
LOCOmOtiOn.
TWO KINDS OF HORSEMEN.
One Worries the Animal, While the
Other Makes His Work
Easy.

Probably there is no point on which
there is so much difference of opinion
among horsemen as the question of at just
what rate of speed and just what distance
a horse may travel without being injured.
AS to the first question it depends, of
course, largely upon the individua horse,
but we are considering jus. now not the in
dividual horse. but the average animal and
his capabilities.
l heard myself called "a horse-killer" the
other day because 1 rode a good horse
twenty-five miles in two hours, and the
man who expressed this severe opinion re-
garding me passes for a good horseman,
too. He owns a great many horses, is care
full of them in the extreme. and, curlouSly
enough, has always one or two on the in
valid roll in his stable. l am tolerably
certain that horse he rode twenty-five
miles in two hours would not soon be fl TO
do any great travelling again, not so much
because of the distance or Of weakness in
the animal. but because the horse would be
fretted.
There is a peculiar characteristic of the
horse that most people who handle this
friend of ours very much soon find out

of tread. If the sheer knew his business
there might be some hope of this defect
being detected or Ienedied, but more often
than not he knows nothing more than TO
nail curved piece of iron or steel on the
ho0f Of horse. II the animal then goes
lame. travels unevenly, or interferes a
weight or balance is put on one or other
side of the shoe, so that his way Of going
is altered at the expense of muscles and
tendons.
Curbs, spavins, ringbone, the greater
numb Der of the various and serious ills
that attack horses feet and legs, are the
result "f bad shoeing. Interfering and
overreaching are largely due to the same
cause, and any blacksmith who under
stands his business ought to be able so to
level. even and balance a horses feet with
out the use of side or toe weights as TO
obvlate all these. Half the battle would
be gained, however, If we only used
little judgment and common sense in
dealing with the colts feet. They should
be looked after. kept trimmed and bal
anced, so that the foot rests naturally and
evenly on the ground If this were done
we should have more horses who could

stretch. and even raise the pace a good

ity In pottery, and he was followed by
Jaco6y Koot and Johannes Verhaagen,
noted for their thorough knowledge OF the
potter's art.
Until the eighteenth century, Delft pot
terry was a luxury reserved for the rlch
less costly than the japanese porcelain, IL
was still beyond the reach oil modest
purses. and the poor used pewter plates
and pewter cups. But, as the taste for
pottery developed. its price decreased, an
til beautiful specmens were seen in peas
ants cabins, and even in the stables, 10
distract and amuse the cows.
The peasants of Zaandam in those days
became very rich by their trade in oil,
charcoal, and by their whale fisheries, and
with the increase Of riches came pride and
presumption
When the Palatine Eector visited Am
sterdam in 100. after his marriage with an
Italian Princess, d Zaandam peasant called
one day, and invited the ElectOr TO dinner
Bring your wife Also" said the Dutch
man. Then turning to the Electors moth
en- the Duchess of Nieuwburg, he said:
Are you The mother of an empress and
of two Gueens?"
YES" replied the royal lady.
Then you must come also."
Strange to say, the Elector and his family
accepted the invitation, and the peasant
sent barge, ella borately gilded and
decorated, 10 bring his royal guests to his
Zaandam home.
II is said that the repaSt was magnificent
and that all were served on some of the
most W nderful specimens OF Delft pot
terry then in existence
When the dinner was ended and the
ElectOr ready TO leave his humble host the
peasant said: Il make YOU a present of
this table service" That is why the heirs
OF this prince possess some rare specimens
of Delft pottery.
To-day we pay fabulous sums for old
Delft, but L have seen a price list of 1913
in which it is stated that coffee cups are
valued at SOS a dozen-that is, about 10
cents; large platters at 30 soils, or 81 a
dozen; salad bowls al "a soils or 70 cents
dozen, etc
Those marvellous little Dutch cows,
made at Delft, were valued at 81 a dozen,
bnt now one can hardly be purchased with
$50. In 1905 an English factory was estab-
lished at Delft. and from that dav dates
the decliLe of Delft pottery. the English
product was cheaper, il could be placed
upon the fire, and the manufacturers of
Delft were discouraged.
In 1879 the only trace of the old factory
lett IN Delft was potter's oven, called
DE Porceleyne Flies or porcelain flask.
1t was founded in 1872, and on its spot. in
1879, Messrs. JoOst, Thooft and Labouehere
opened the modern Delft factory, which
continues the traditions and artistic re-
nOwn of the Netherlands.

Destruction of Elm Trees.

Inc elm tree beetle, greedy black
worm, is doing great mischief to the
stately old elms. with which the streets of

The trees literally are pitted with them in
certain localities, and look as If they
were strung with almost innumerable lit
tie BLACK beads. The worms speedily
strip the trees of their leaves, which turn
yellow and often fall in showers. Many

The Venus De Medic 8.

London News: IL anything is safe In
TINS iconoclastic age il might be sun-
posed To- be the reputation for beautv
and grace of the Venus de Medicis.
More than two centuries have elapsed
since this famous piece of sculpture was
unearthed on the site of Hadrian's
villa at Tivoli and since then connois-
seurs of all nations have joined in do
ing homage to the ancient sculptors
skill. How many visitors TO the Uffizi
gallery in Florence have stood, Murray
or Appleton in hand, gazing at the un-
draped figure without a thought of
questioning these learned persons. But
of late years there have been
skeptics daring enough TO class
this with the Apollo Belvedere
as sample OF ancient art
that has been ''monstrously over
rated" And now comes no less an au-
thority than Holman Hunt to assure us
that Venus de Medicis, 70 use popular
phrase, won't do" There is little
anecdote attaching 10 this expression
of opinion.
Some years ago, at the house of Sir
Richard Owen, the great naturalist,
Mr. Hunt met that professor of
Sanitary science, the late Sir Edwin
Chadwick, who began a conversation
thus: "As a commissioner of health !
must profess myself altogether opposed
the artistic theory of beauty. There is
the Venus de Medicis, which you artists
regard as giving the perfect type of
female form. ! should require that a
typical statue with such pretensions
should bear evidence of perfect power
of life. with steady prospect of health
and signs of mental vigor; but she has
neither. Her chest is narrow, indicat-
ing unrobust lungs, her limbs are
without evidence of due train
ing of muscles, her shoulders are not
well braced up, and her Uranium, and
her face, too, are deficit in all traits of
intellect. She would be a miserable
mistress of house and contemplate
mother" But the listener assured the
sage critic that he had made most ar
tistic criticism of the statue, and that
his auditor would join in every word
as TO his standard of requirements. Mr..
Hunt was aware, he said, that he was
talking heresy to the mass of persons
who accepted the traditional jargon OF
the cognoscenti OIL trust, but in his
opinion 1.-THE work belongs 20 the de-
cadence of Roman virtue and vitality,
and its merit lies alone in the render
of voluptuous being without mind or
soul. IL no authorities of eq1al weight
will stand fourth in defense of this mar
BILE lady, il is - be feared that the IA
nous Venus de Medicis will soon be
ranked among impostors. The strange
part of the matter is that il has taken
2l3 years 10 find her out.
