WEARING ALUm1NIUM SHOES.
Savannah's Fast Horses Shod With
the Light Natal.

Aluminium shoes are the latest thing
for race horses, and as Savannah is never
behind on anything of this character, the
fast trotters Of this neighborhood are now
striking the shell road with aluminium
shod hoofs
The idea has lately come into vogue
among the owners of fine horseftesh at
the north and aluminium shoes are
being extensively used there now,
Doe FurlOng, who shoes most
of the fast horses in Savannah was the
first to catch on TO the idea here, in fact
the only one so far, and he has been max
ing quite lot of this footwear lately.
Nearly all OF Savannah's well-known
race horses, and a good potion of the fine
driving stock besides, are now wearing
aluminium shoes.
The gain in weight over the iron or
steel shoes, by the use of the aluminium
shoe IS something remarkable. Shoes as
light as one ounce, are being
made for actual wear and
the heaviest aluminium shoes made for
use here do not weigh over four ounces
each. The regulation steel racing shoe
weighs about eight ounces on an average"
and an iron shoe, the same size as the
four ounce aluminium shoe, weighs
tweuty-one ounces, gain of seventeen
ounces in favor of the aluminium shoe.
The immense advantage to the race
horse by the use of the lighter shoes is
apparentat once. In fact, the difference
is so great, that horses which have been
accustomed tc racing with the
steel shoes, find it difficult to
accommodate themselves to the alumni
MUM shoes and have to be trained in
them for while until they accustOm
themselves to the lighter shoes.
w T. Burch's Little S. is now wearing
at Columbus set.of shoes made by Mr..
t'urlOng weighing one ounce each. These
shoes are for use on the track only, and
are taken or as soon as the race is over
and the iron shoes put back on, the holes
for the nails being exactly at the same
place on each set of shoes
The one-ounce shoes are for running
horses The trOtters require heavier
shoe, as aluminium, being very light
metal, would become too hot for comfort
by the rapid beat of the trotters hoOfs. if
not made of the same thickness as the
ordinary iron shoe. Mr.. Furlong showed
MORNING News reporter pair OF
four-ounce shoes that he was makin5
for Pat Fallon, Watson u Powers we'll
known trOtter The pair was for the
fore feet. The shoes for the hind feet
will weigh only two OUNCES,
Aluminium is not likely to come into
general use for horse-shoes, on account OF
the high cost of the metal, and the fact
that being a soft metal 1t wears quicker
than iron or steel. In making an alu-
minium shoe the smith takes bar of the
metal and beats it out cold" upon the
anvil.
If subjected to the charcoal blaze, as
is done with the iron in making shoe,
the aluminium would melt. 1t is d very
tough metal, however, and beating YIELDS
it together and adds to its toughuess. 1t
requires good workmanship to make a
shoe in this manner
Aluminium shoes are now bringing So a

Faust" Tonight.

Lewis Morrison who will be the at
traction tonight in Faust" is an actor
who has established a very enviable posi-
ton for himself in the theatrical firma-
ment Mr.. Morrison is best known from his
portrayal of the characterof "Mephisto"
in Faust although he really has an ex-
tensive legitimate repertoire.
Lately there has been such a popular
demand for Faust" that he has been
obliged to confine himself almost entirely
to that play Mr.. Morrisons character
ization of his satanic majesty is very
striking performance and one long to be
remembered, Well fitted by nature for
all intense roles, this one appeals strongly
to him; with voice equal to all the re
quirements of the part and evolutionary
powers that are almost perfect, it is little
wonder that Morrison should be success
full as "Mephisto.'
The company, which is said to be a
strong one, includes such well-known
artists as Miss Florence Roberts and Mr..
Edward Elsner. The engagement will no
doubt be successful

"Friend Fritz" Tomorrow.

The Manola-Mason Company will give
It's 950th performance of "Frend Fritz at
to-morrow's matinee. Mr.. and Mrs
Mason have for the last eight years, been
the leaders in their particular style OF
entertainment. They are known as
Marion Manola and John Mason. Marion
Manola has, for years, been the leading
prima donna of several of the big opera
companies, while John Mason better
known as Handsome jack has been the
leading man of the Boston museum
After they succeeded in winning the title
of stars they went to London, where Mrs
Mason created the leading role in robin
Hood when that opera was produced on
the other side, and John created the lead
ing role in "ldler,' which ran for 800
nights, and there was never IN American
actor who achieved such favor as this
same John.
Marion Manola's name naturally sug-
gests comic opera and that of her hus-
band John Mason, has been identified
mainly with comedy. They nave pooled
their issues, so to speak, in securing a
vehicle or their reflective talents. Mason
and Manoa win make their stellar ad-
vent here in 'Friend Fritz which might
be described as light opera and comedy
blended. 10 be exact, however, it is a
pastoral musical comedy, adopted from
the French of "Erckman Chatriau." by
Stanislaus Stangs. Originally the play
was produced at the Comedie Francois.
where it became the vogue. In its pres
ent form it was brought out at Herr
mann s theatre. New York, and scored a
most emphatic and noteworthy success.
Manola and Mason bring the same COM
pany. and the original scenscy and cos
tunes, as they had in New York.

SAVE THE SQUARES.
Many of Them Being Defaced Throug
Misuse.

Many of Them Being Defaced Through
Misuse.
A good deal of complaint has been made
of the conduct of boys who frequent Mad
ison square, and attention has been called
to the damage done by them to the square
as well
Guests of the De Soto complain that
the boys, who gather in the square in
large numbers, are rude and boisterous to
an excessive degree, and that the use Of
vulgar and profane language is altogether
too common among them. Complaints
have also been made by pedestrians and
drivers of vehicles, who say that the
boys run after and boot at them and pelt
them with acorns.
These are pretty serious charges against
the boys, but there must be some truth in
them, as a prominent citizen lodged a
complaint against them at the barracks
this week.
Chief Green promised to take steps in
the matter, and to put stop to the mis-
conduct.
The manner in which Madison, and
other squares are defaccd by boys and
men who trample down the grass, burn
bonhres and do pretty much as they
please in them. is more complained Of than
the conduct of the boys Madison square is
a favorite playground and as a conse-
quence there is very little grass left
there. 1t is a fayorite place for bontires
at this season of the year, and about
Chris tm8s time there is a continual Sc
ries of petty riots with the boys of neigh
boring squares.
1t is generally understood that the or
dinance with reference to trespassing on
the squares does not apply to children with
their nurses, but the exception was
hardly meant to include boys Of IL to Is
years of age.
The attention of Acting Mayor Mills
was called to the trespassing upon the
squares by the boys yesterday, and he
said he would look into the matter and
put stop to it at once.
Ea"The squares are not meant for play
grounds, except for the small children.
he said IF the boys arc TO be allowed
to tramplc them down, we might as well
stop trying to improve them
Alderman Myers said about the same
thing. The city spends too much money
to beautify the squares to have them
trampled down BY the boys. The ordi-
nances on the subject should be enforced "
II thought the squares were made for
the boys to play ia" said Chief Green
There are no ordinances against that. is
thereI'
Thechief may have been speaking ironi-
cally, however He said that he had given
orders to the police to look out for the
boys in Madison square.
