and bones of similar csliber are all right.
But danger Turks in the needle-like points
Of crushed bone of the feathered tribe
and many a good dog has met his death
from this oarelessness. the sharp points
sticking in ths intestines and causing
stoppage of the bowels and consequent
death. II you must feed small bones at
any time to dogs larger than the toys,
contrive to get them after the meal and
not before. Bones should be considered

It is pretty difficult to perceive in the
old. m ildewed craft tossing mournfully on
the water In from: OF the Chelsea club
house, any mblanc to General But
ler's fast-sailing schooner yacht America.
Yet the old America it is, with its sea
wings gone an d its racing heels doubled
and twisted by years of neglect and mac
tivity. The old sea racer has the same
boom and masts aid the same dignined
pose of the nose that made her wonder
in her triumphal days in the early 7O,s.
An old salt declared the other day that
little scraping and overhauIing would
put her in condition to sail the briny
deep with the same nobility and speed as
of yore.-Boston Traveller.
At Rutland, VT, August %, while the
track arshal, on running horse, was
pacing Vassar in a workout the runnsr
had to be killed. In the last heat of the
1925 pace, Sheldrake, entered by G.. W.
Reagan, st. Adams, VT, broke her leg,
and was killed. Molle broke her bit in
the last heat of the 2:35 pace anu came
nome first, trotting the last quarter
with his useless reins and she never
yelled with deliaht. Colonel Crombie, in
the 2:26 race. reared at the head of the
stretch. broke his sulky ard threw his
driver, but the latter pluckiIy caught him
and prevented runaway.

ting question is still discussed, though it
is impossible to ses how it can be altered.
When the agricultural societies find that
the revenue derived from the racing and
trotting ASSOCIATE ms is q mere nothing
compared TO what ii was under che Ives
law, they may bring pressure to bear
upon their mem bers to reduce the pains
and penalties in the Percy bill. though it
is exceedingly doubtful whether 1T would
be good policy to attempt to tinker at that
measure. Before that is done u strong
and healthy public sentiment must be
created in the various counties of the
state, and it looks as if it was in form
alive stage now. With many trotting
tracks closed. and the majority of the trot-
ting meetings conducted at loss, the L.
cal markets up the state must be more or
less affected adversely to the farmer.
Twenty years is long time to wait for a
radical change, but in year or two
something may be done to ameliorate the
present law.
And now the patrons of boxing exhl-
hitions are told that the Olympic club of
New Orleans is TO have a revival of box
ing and the old-timers prick up their ears
ana wonder whether the fall business
Will warrant their taking little trim
south in the wintes months. Judging
from the way the carnival is to open,
however, the east will catch all the loose
money which western men have to spend
on this amusement. On the first pro-
gramme appears the names of Herman
Bernau and Australian Billy Mccarthy
as the ones who will furnish the event of
the evening. The importance of this
great contest, unlike many others, may
be overrated by those not we'll acquainted
with the fighters. Bernau is the Texan
who was defeated by steve O'DonneIl and
Dan Creedon last winner. while MCCARTHY
is play edcut old scrapper whose days
of usefulness passed away at about TT @

from the ring. There are those, how
ever, who can see in this match tisiic
event OF considerable moment. A local
scribe says: IF the opening event is u
success the club intends giving another
in the near future, and looking in that
direction has opened negotiations with
