some difficulty in getting out last
night, when the alarm sounded, and
many covert remarks were made re-

seen regarding the difficulty, Chief
Taylor said: "Our swinging harness
has not ye t arrived, and we are obliged
to put up with common harness. OF
course you can't expect our horses to
sleep in harness therefore we take
them off at night. 1t takes consider
