Solid Yet Elastic.

In it's present elaborate form the
hoof of a horse is the most perfect
instrument of support which has been
devised in the animal kingdom to up
hold a large and swiftly moving ami
NAL in it's passage over the ground.
The original toe-nail, and the neigh.
boring soft parts connected with 1t,
have been modified into a structure
which in an ordinary manner COM
bines solidity with elasticity, so that
it may strike violent blows upon the
hard surface of the earth without
harm. The result is that the horse
can carry a greater weight at a swift
er speed than any other animal APP

Royal Baking Powder is the purest
and highest in strength of any of the
baking powders, and hence makes
more, finer and better food. These
are the official facts as set forth by
the L. s. Government and the various
State Chemists reports. OF course
great efforts will be made by those
interested In the sale of the cheaper
made, alum powders, to continue their
sale where consumers have made up
their minds to have the Royal and call
for it at their grocers. The Royal
Powder is so much superior to all the
other preparations for quick raising.
that it will amply repay housekeepers
TO use the necessary pe~rsistency to
procure it in spite Of all objections.

To manufacturers like the Royal
Baking Powder Company, the public
is under a large debt of gratitude
for the increased purity Of articles of
food sold at the present day. The
reports of the official Government in
v%cstigations of baking powders show
the Royal to be stronger and purer
than any other. 1t is quite evident
that neither ingenuity. science o eX-

the Royal Baking Powder as now be

The start was perfect, and all four barges
kept in good dress until near the second
buoy, when the Ariels commenced to put
their bow ahead. Some magnificent
strokes with straight steering, though,
sent the South Ends well into the lead, the
Ariels hugging them close for a few mo-
ments, and the stocktons losing water
very badly. The Pioneers gained slightly
on the Ariels before the turn At the turn
the South Ends were some lengths ahead,
and the Pioneers were beginning to even
up with the Ariels, and soon after the
turn reached second place.
They came home in this order, with the
Stocktons far behind. 1t could be easily
seen that the coxswaiIls of the South Ends
and Ariels-the favorite clubs with the
crowd-knew their business, though the
oars OF the Ariels could not do the work of
those of the Pioneers.
The South Ends crossed the line fully a
length. ahead of the Pioneers, and there
were about two lengths between the Pho
neers and ArieIs. The Stocktons were
fully five lengths behind the Ariels. The
time was $3.50.

from the University of California to row
