! no end of merriment by the French drivers
] affected method of holding the lines and
whip on level with his chin, was COM
mended.
Just to show what can be done by
clever driver with ten mules, the team
that came all the way from Fresno twisted
itself through sinuous ways upon the tan
bark, wholly regardless Of the intense
gaze centered upon them. The ten mules
and two horses were hitched to two tre-
menjous wagons. and after going clear
around the ring they circled within a
radius OF less than the hauling chain. The
mules were given blue and red ribbons,
and from the applause it could not be
doubted that the decoration pleased the
house.
The finest cup of the show was awarded
after long time spent in judging the
respective merits OF stations of years
old or over in class G. The first re in
this class was $780, the second $50. and
besides the Shreve cup was valued at 5000.
The entries were: kebir, bay. and Sena-
Of BurIingame; Ell Benton, bay,
owned by Gilbert Tompkins of San
Leandro; Glen Fortune and Don Figaro by
the same owner: Altoona Jr., owned by K.
i. Milroy and James 2. Guerln; Dawn,
exhibited by Fl. j. Agnew of Hillsdale !;
Bay Rum, exhibited by Jesse ID. Carr of
Salinas: Friday. exhibited by william
Nelson of HslfmOOn Bay; DAILY, bays
owned by William Finlay of Santa Rosa
Directum, Sable Wilkes and st. Erle
were not exhibited.
After an examination that was close
enough to give general satisfaction, Al
coma Jr. won the cup and blue rlbbons
Dawn was second. Daily highly commended
and Ell Benton commended.
The final contest of the show was among
polo lOnies from the BurliDgame CLUB,
classed in the programme as 40 A. For
the winner a special cup was offered by
Henry j. Croker.
According to programme the ponies were

and failed to get through. Harry SimpkiDS
appeared on his funny though well bred
pinto mare, Jumping Jack. He danced
about then started back and curved in
and out along the line of poles with
snake-ike motion at full gallOp and very
cleverly rode through them without a
touch. He was well rewarded by the
uprOariouS applause and doubly so by
seeing Jack decorated with blue ribbon
and winning the cup.
1t was then past IL 80 o'clock, but the
crowds remained to see a grand parade OF
all first and second prize winners, which
appeared with their decorations and proud
owners or attendants before the curtain
fell on the horse show OF 1894.

evidences of style, and Henry j. Croker

coachman j an English dogcart of unusual
height and design. The flashy rigs showed
OF very effectively until Skyrocket, the
imported bay gelding owned by Walter S.
Hobart, entered before an American-made
dogeart and eclipsed them. Hobart won
the blue ribbon, while Parrott got second
place and Henry Crocker's English rig
was highly commended.

backward into the promenade, where he
reared and fell. A hubbub of excitement
followed and the crowd gathered around
the fallen horse. which was unhitchsd
and taken back to the sta bles.
For those who like ultra style there was
enough to interest them In the DISPLAY of
four-in-hands made under class 40, which
comprehended judgment on horses and
appointments. George A. Newhall was
the first to appear with q coach aud four
spanking horses. He drove two bay
mares, Margaret ano May, and two bay
geldings. Hamlet and Harrison. M. Theo
Kearney's four-in-hand, Ontario and San
Joaquin, coal-black stars, and Yorkshire
and Toronto, two grays, leading, was the
next to enter. The leaders danced and
acted in approved fashion, and formed
strong contrast with the superb black
wheelers.
E. j. Baldwin drove in his tally-ho
coach, with four thoroughbreds, Sultaua,
Lady b, Wonderland and horse from his
best stock. The rig lacked that style
affected by horsemen nowadays-short
tails, cropped names, horses with hackney
action, auiomaton-Iike coachmrn In fiu--
English, you know. For the highly bred
team wore long, graceful tails and names,
and DEM cratic coachmen are not au fat
in these times.
The last to euter was John PARROTS
stylish black and yellow coach with crests
all over it. Four bays. Fi0ssie, Flora,
Cooper and Cora, were hitched toge her,
all splendidly matched and exu berant with
mannerly action becoming their class. The
coachmen were the pink of prouriety, act
ing with mil tary precision In every move
ment and filing the ideal Of lackey's ap-
pearance. Charles A. Baldwin had the
relns IL hand, and he knew to turn how
a gentleman diver should conduct himself.
Parrott's coach and horses won frs,
prize, while Kearney's was second, New
halls highly commended and Baldwin's
commended.

Walter S. H0bart's prize-winner Huntress
was brought out for an exhibition Of jump

ried Huntress over the fences three times
around in quick succession, each round
eliciting applause from all parts OF the
house.
But the best of Huntress' performance
was 60 come, as she had cleared the ienees
Friday night like a deer. A high hurdle
that was not seen before in the ring was
carried Ia. The side fences were seven
feet high, with places for poles or bars at
one end. This was set obliquely immedi-
atelv in front of the water jump, so that
the horse had to run from the north entry
gate. Poles were laid across, first about
4 feet 6 inches high. which Huntress took
without an effort. The boards covering

mare, and she refused to take the jump
two or three times. Then the hurdles
were raised to feet in ches and Huntress
cleared the jump. But after that she
failed to pass over the bars, although her
record is feet. Every time she took the
high jump wild bursts of applause greeted
her pretty performances.

Soap Suds for Calming Waves.

The remarkable action of Gil upon
waves is we'll known. This phenome-
non led the officers of the steamship
Scandal, of Hamburg, to make an ex-
pertinent upon the same principle that
was very successful, and that appears
to us worthy of mention. During its
last trip to the United States the YES
sci, while in mid-ocean, was attacked
by very heavy storm. 1t then oc-
cured to the officers to dissolve
large quantity of soap in tubs of
water. Having thus obtained several
hundred gallons of soap suds in very
short time they threw it overheard in
front of the ship. The effect was al
most instantaneous, and the vessel
soon began to navigate without diff
cu.5y. Her officers at once addressed
a long report to the photographic
Bureau of the United States, giving
an account of their voyage, the storm,
and the means that they employed to
still the waves. They concluded by
saying that although soap suds does
not produce absolutely all the effects
upon water that oil does, it at least
suff1ces to break the force of waves in
most cases. Besides, this method
recommends itself to transportation
companies careful of their interests.
Soap suds is much cheaper than oil,
and relatively large quantity of
soap can be carried without encroach-
ing too much upon the space set
apart for passengers and merchandise.

the poison being carried in suitable
hollow in the hilt. The double curve
of the blade, derived from that of a
cows horn, and resembling that of
scorpions sting, recurs in the Lhanjar
and the chilanum and throughout
Afghanistan. With a variety of this
weapon Lieutenant Willis was killed
in the bazaar at Candahar.
The strangest of secret arms is, per-
haps, the bagh nakh or tiger claw of
the Mahrattas, with its two rings for
the first and fourth fingers and the
three to five curved steel claws,
destined to protrude from the closed
hand between the fingers and to rip
open or mangle the victim. The hand
half open shows only two bright rings
round the fingers; the clenched fist
becomes the armed paw of the human
tiger. Mr.. Egerton tells US how the
Mahratta leader Sivaji murdered his
enemy, Afzai Khan, after inviting him
to a conference, in which each should
come with one attendant only. Sivaji
wore mail cap and coat under his
turban and cotton gown, had
bich 'hwa in his right sleeve and bagh
nakh on his left hand. The Khan had
only his sword, and sent away his fol-
lower to reassure Sivaji, who was of
small stature and counterfeited TIM
idity. SIN the midst of the customary
embrace, Sivaji struck the bagh nakh
into the bowels of Afzai Khan, who
quickly disengaged himself, clapped
his hand on his sword, exclaiming
'Treachery and murderr' but Sivaji
instantly followed mp the blow with
his dagger. The Khan had drawn his
sword, and made a cut at Sivaji, but
the concealed armOr was proof against
the blow. The whole was the work
of a moment, and Sivaji was wrestling
the weapon from the hand of his vic
tim before the attendants could run
toward them. "-LOndon Saturday Re-

SOUR MILK BAD FOR PIGS.

Sour milk is death to young pigs,
declares D. A. Kent. It is strange
that many people have handled pigs
for years and never learned that
pigs stomach cannot digest sour
milk. And it is passing strange with
what stubborness they insist that sour
milk is healthful food for pigs.
I have known of instances where
employees Tilted with their orders and
fed sour milk on the sly, and brought
disaster on whole herd of pigs.
Sour feed of any kind is fatal to
young pigs, whether fed to the dam
or directly to the pigs. The dam
should not be fed sour feed for the
last month preceding narrowing time.
When pigs have attained growth
of sixty pounds, they may be fed sour
milk lightly. I have seen pigs of
seventy-fve pounds weight SO badly
secured as to become incurable This,
of course, applies to pigs that have
made rapid growth and attained the
above weight in a comparatively short
period. Age may be reckoned in the
time to commence feeding the sour
milk, and it may be set down at ten
weeks.-Rural Life.
