horse attached to Thornsburg mail and bag
gage wagon ran off and dashed furiously
erick and was not stopped till he reached the
market house on Lewis street. A colored
man named Thornton. in the employ Of
Thornsburg mounted horse bareback and
hurried to intercept if possible the runaway
horse Whilst he was riding rapidly his
horse knocked down Mr.. John Kent, street.
car driver, just short distance west of the

THE PULLING MATCH.
Ag ent Perry Made a Visit to the
County Fair.

Judges Warned to See That Oxen Are Not
Abused-Responsibilit of Officials.
Animals has taken up the pulling
matches which are much in vogue at
tho country fairs at this season. In these
matches, as are we'll known, the oxen are
hitched to drays loaded down heavily
with stone, and then are required to
pull all they can. Agent Perry of the
society, claims that very often the oxen
are cruelty braided and compelled to
strain themselves unreasonably.
He went to the county fair at Gorham,
on Thursday, and there watched the pull
ing and warned the judges. They seemed
to be humane men, who wished to do
right, and Agent Perry felt that there
would be no further cause Of complaint
at that fair
The society propose to have an agent at
every fair in this region, and If any
cruelty is found they will cause prosecu-
tion of those responsible.
According to the view of the officers OF
the society for the Protection of Animals,
the judges of the pulling matches are
directly responsible for any cruelty in
driving. When the cattle are turned over
to the judges for measurement they go in
to their hands, and are under their con-
troll. They are also under their control
during the teaming; and the judges are
directly responsible.
Undoubtedly this action of Agent Perry
will result in greater carefulness at all
the pulling matches.

The equality" idea as applied to
skirts.
When we started our spring season
on skirts our prime object was how
good skirts, not how much profit, and
that is the plan on which we've run our
skirt business ever since.
The hundreds Of customers who
have bought and worn our skirts are
doing more to help us sell more skirts
than columns Of newspaper advertising
could.
Width inish-hang- style quail
ty of material. are what you get in our
skirts.
Try one Of these:
At 1875.
A4l-4 yard skirt Of fine quality
serge, lined throughout with just the
right amount Of stiffening in just the
right place. Bottom is braid bound,
At 1915.
Same style, skirt made Of Black
figured mohair, a very dressy. hand
some skirt.
At $4.75.
Anew black boucle, very full, all

to the Capitol Park unless it were paid
for. They could not afford to charge
simply for the labor and expense OF ma
terIal destroyed. but would also have to
charge for wire, as they would have to
purchase more, having already enough
for their own needs.
Mr. Coleman further reported that
be had estimated that at least IL, 900
lamps would be needed. and pos
sIoly 1000 or SO more, and had been
told that they could be furnished, bu,
some of them could not be here before
Septembe 9th. He thought that by TAX
ing lamps OF 104 to ITO voltage number
OF that capacity could be procured.
lie thought that 1000 additional lamps
IN Capitol Park would give satisfaction.
The lamps, sockets, wires. etc., would
cost about 81, 200.
Mr. We'll said that if he had known
there would be such an additional e1-
pense for changing the reviewing stand
from the Plaza to the Capitol Park he
would not have voted for the change. He
asked how much the change would cost.
Mr.. Coleman explained that the change
would add an expense of over s., 300.
X. ID. Stephens thought the electric
company should be willing to stand the
expense of labor and should charge only
cost for what they did.
MIR. WelI said unless the needed amount
could be raised he would vote to recon
slder the action by which the illumina-
t!on was changed 10 the Capitol Park.
Cutting down few local expenses would
only result in impoverishing the illumi-
nation, without saving great amount.
1t was finally decided 10 leave further
consideration of the matter till the next
meeting, and the committee adjourned
TIL Wednesday afternoon.
