Tobogganing Down Run on Rocking
Horses to Decide Wager.


Tobogganing Down a Run ON Rocking
Horses to Decide Wager.
There is no knowing what an Eng
lishnan will not do to decide a bet
Men have jumped across dining tables,
mounted upon untractable steeds-yea'
and even kissed their own mothers-in-
LAWN order to settle wager. In line,
it ought to be an established maxim
among us by this time that, given GER
tain number of impossibilities and an
equal number of young Engllshmen,
those impossib ilities will not long re-
main such, provided they be made the
subjects of bets.
One of those incidents which go a
long way toward justifying the reputa-
ton which as nation of madmen we
have earned among foreigners occurred
at ST. Moritz when, in order to settle
bet, - Lord William Manners and the
Hon. Fl. Gibson agreed to go down the
village run" mounted on rocking
horses in place of ordinary toboggans.
A feature of the race was that both
competitors were "attired in full hunt
ing kit" and as elaborate preparations
had been made for the contest and ru-
NOR of the affair had been industriously
noised broad the crowd which had as
sembled to witness it was both large
and distinguished.
The start was fixed for 10 O'Clock,
and shortly before that hour the shouts
of the spectators announced that the
horses were off. Unlike the custom IN
toboggan races, both started at the same
time. In the first course Lord William
Manners led as far as a certain angle OF
the run" called Casper's Corners, from
the fact that hotel of that name Is
situated close by, but taking it rather
high Mr.. Gibson passed cleverly on the
inside, which he maintained to the fin
ish, F" Lord William being summary
dismissed from his fractions steed S
back some distance to the bad from the
winning post.
In the second course Lord William
Manners again had the advantage as far
as Casper + Corners, where Mr.. Gibson
again tried to pass him on the inside,
but being jockeyed by his opponent his
horse swung round and proceeded down
the run tail foremost, but leading. The
merriment of the spectators at this
stage of the proceedings may be more
easily imagined than described, nor did
it abate in the least when Mr.. Gibson,
dismounting, seized it unceremoniously
by the nose and turned it into the way.

Meanwhile Lord William Manners
had suffered disappointment a second
time, for in attempting to take to
use true hunting term-a particularly
awkward part Of the run called Bel
vedere Corner his horse refused to re-
spond to its riders exertions to get it
SUGGEST ully over the obstacle, and horse
and jockey came down to the ground IN
one tumultuous somersauIt together.
Lord Williams discontinue proved
to be Mr. Gibson's opportunity. The
time and ground that the former had
lost by his involuntary flight through
the air were never recovered. Mr.. Glib
son, with the position of his horse re-
versed and his legs thrust scientifically
in front of him, rode easily and triuln-
phantIy forward and eventuallylTeached

AGAINST GENERAL EVANS.

The New York Morning Advertiser is
by far the bitterest and most ra4ical OF
all the republican south-haters and new
er loses an opportunity to pour out the
Walls of it's vitriolic wrath upon every
thing pertaining to the Lost Cause. 1t is
not at all strange, then, that it should
view with disfavor the prospect of the
election of General Evans to the govern
orship of Georgia when it is so well
known what an active and conspicuous
part he took in that memorable conflict.
Speaking of General Evans candidacy
the Advertiser says: ~
'sThe esteemed Oconee (Ga.) Enter,
prise is roofing with considerable voclt'
Grafton for General Clement A. Evans
for governor of that state, and among
other things says the general fought tol
his country on the battlefield and, fur
thermore. is "a man representing all that
is best in Georgia manhood We beg
leave to dissent from the statement that
General Evans, as Confederate soldier,
fought for his country He fought to
destroy his country, and in this fact lies
his great strength with the Georgia peo-
ple."
Every fair-minded man with any &C
quaintance with the subject, no matter
which side his sympathies were with,
recognizes the patriotic impulses that
actuated the Confederate soldiers in
risking their lives and fortunes in des-
perate struggle. The southern people
have no apologies to offer for their con-
duct, and they are not DESTROYS OF the APP
probation of such venomous sheets as
the Advertiser. The war has been over
for a quarter Of a century and many OF
those Who fought on the Confederate
side are now holding important and re-
sponsible positions under the Federal
government. tits only such ultra-bilious
mischief makers as the Advertiser that
seek to perpetuate the animosities and
heart-burnings of the war period 1t is a
big argument in favor of General Evans
that he has incurred such bitter opposi-
ton from the Advertiser and few pa
pers of mugwumpish tendency.
