One Of the most perpleIing things In
teaching riding is to get the pupil TO
hold her reins properly. Our snaffle
reins are placed one between the first
and second fingers, the other around
the little finger, while the curb reins
are held between the second and third
fingers, the four reins passing through
the palm Of the hand and being grasped
firmly by the thumb and first finger.
The German custom is just the Oppo-
site / have always held my reins in
the English fashion, and taught my
pupils to do SO, for it brings the snaffie
into most prominent play, and reserves
the curb, as was intended, in position
where it can be used In case of emer-
gency. The left hand, holding the
reins, should rest on the leg just back
of the right knee, and the right, hold
ing tho crop, should be beside it and
ready to aid the left hand if necessary.
The whip should be held about six
inches from the handle and over the
horse, not down at his shoulder. This
position lends force to the blow, should
1t become necessary to strike him over
the shoulder or flank. The snaffie reins
should be most generally employed
their use tends to keep the animal in
good temper, gives him confidence in
the gentleness of his rider and results in
what horsemen term a good mouth, all
OF which, of course, contributes toward
the enjoyment Of The rider. The curb
Is for necessity and not for ordinary
use, and those who depend upon il can
not be good rfder& The majority of
people who use the curb do so to make
the horse appear spirited, step high
and prance- The animal does not like
it. and many a good equine temper is
ruined by an indiscriminate use of the
curb and many thus made ''puller"
initiated into the delights of run
away and an upseated rider.

Among the little things that detract
from mans dignified appearance, such
as his necktie crawling UP TO his ear, one
cuff showing two or three inches more
than the other, or his vest buttoned wrong
quite the funniest is a great long raveling
trailing over him. One rather expects TO
find n woman covered with scraps and

We drove 10 Monte Carlo and staid for

prince OF the same name, who obtains the

Trouble Over Narragansett Lodge,
X. Of p. to Be Ended.
Fast ChancelIors Meet I'm Providence
Today To End This Unseemly
Wrangle.

The burning of the Castle Hall OF Nara
gansett Lodge at Phenix some time ago is
the cause OF considerable dis
content among its members.
30 much SO that the affairs
that should only be known to those at the
meeting, have become public property,
and to such an extent that the officers of
OF the Grand Lodge, as well as
all members OF the order, deemed it
wise to interfere. The membership of
the lodge is composed of residents of
Phenix and the surrounding villages,
but has always been known as a Phenix
institution, but as soon as the hall was
destroyed, the members from the
vicinity OF Clyde deemed il q wise move
to change the headquarters from Phenix
to Clyde, and Mt the regular meeting
OF tho lodge it was so de-
dided. The proper request was made
and Grand Chancellor Walter Scott
granted permission. IL was then that the
old time members who had for years
been members and were residents OF
Phenix, got up in arms about the
matter, and they decided that the lodge
should not move to Glide, but it did,
for be it understood the Clyde
delegation were armed with the
proper document from the Grand
Lodge to give them the right to do SO, and
go they did taking with them the seal Of
the lodge and portion of the
books, papers and officers. The

a new seal, and were in possession OF the
rituals and cash, which gave them good
start. This move on the part of the
Phenix delegation was at once sat down
on by the grand chancellor, who notified
them that they must cease meeting under
the name OF Narragansett Lodge.
This they refused to do, and a circular
was issued by the grand chancellor to the
different lodges in the State, warning the
members against that portion of Nara
gansett Lodge which was holding illegal
meetings. They have continued to hold
sessions ever since. This state of
affairs still continues, to the disgust OF the
wellwishers OF the order. few days
ago some OF the leading members OF the
order forwarded petition to Grand
Chancellor Scott TO call a special
meeting of the grand lodge to see If the
trouble could not be settled, and today at
o'clock large numberof the past chan
cellors met in Oriental Hall and listened
to the report OF the grand chancellor.
The decision OF the grand chancellor
was sustained this afternoon.

BosToN, Aug. 16.--The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter today says of
the wool market: I" Since last writing
up TO Monday, August l3, trade continued
at the same brisk rate that had character
lied it for three weeks; since then there
has been some holding back. All specu-
latiye tendency on the part of dealers or
manufacturers is eliminated, Wool
brought Monday the price OF ten days
before; as the market stands today
1t is solid. The feeling OF the wool trade
at date, may be considered cheerful.
Though the number OF transactions dur
ing the week has been less than a week
ago, the sales have been fairly liberal.
There has been good trade in oil classes
of wool with general demand for fine,
medium and coarse. Among heeces, per-
haps, medium and quarter blood have
been more eagerly soughl because in light
supply, but there has been quite mis-
cellanoous lot taken at prices on parity
with those of the previous week.
Sales were made of Ohio Xxx al 21c.;
10000 pounds of fine deiaine at p to 2ic.,
and 100000 pounds of u, x and h-blood
at 10 TO 19c. Texas and California are in
good demand and considerable sales Of
thS NcIc y SCpu puKs
OF fine snd fine medium territory have
been sold on the secured basis of 81 TO 3Sc
for the former and 30 10 SIC. for the latter.
Pulled woods have held very strong.
Good b supers are particularly scarce,
and regularly bring 30 cents. Sales of
Australian have been larger han for some
time.
The sales of the week amount to 3, 3,774,-
$50 pounds domestic and 100000 pounds
foreign making total of 4, ia $50 pounds,
against a total of 5,324 900 for the previ-
GUS week, and against a total of 773, $50 for
the corresponding week year ago.
