In the selection of pairs for carriages
the first requisites generally demanded
arc that the horses should be of a like
color and external conformation. So
far as fashion and appearance go, when
the pair is at rest, the eye is satisfied
Something moro, however, is wanted
when the horses are in motion They
should not only he the same in color
and in height and of like characteristics
in shape, but their action should DO uni

fault as an Ill matched pair i'll color,
size and conformation to the ordinary
observer
Something still more. however. than
any of the qualities We have named is
requisite. y perfect team of two or
moro horses should possess, rs we'll, the
same kind of temperament to make
driving agreeable. \ sluggish horse in
company with one of spirited DISPOSE
ton is n continual source of irritation to
tho driver. The willing horse also
takes more than his share Of the work,
and the lazy less. If the latter has to
be repeatedly urged to do his duty. it
becomes q source of annoyance TO the
former, who fidgets and uuduly exerts
himself i'll the traces. \ pair of lynn
phatic horses is much to DO preferred

ton of perfect pairs, such as we have
indicated, is difficult matter and such
pairs are exceedingly rare. it is no won

al stars next season. know OF seven who
have arrived at the conclusion that their
managers are waxing rich upon their trans
cendent abilities, and they argue that iu-
stead of making money for others in fu-
ture they will earn it for themselves.
Perhaps the result may demonstrate to
these ambitious histrions that a good fat
salary, with ones name in ordinary sized
type, is preferable to flaring posters and
portraits, accompanied by n weekly excess
of debts over credits. All actors admit
this when speaking of others, but with
themselves-never. Nothoroughly earnest
stellarmaniac will even consider the posi-
bility of failure.
