A Horses Tail.

In well-formed horses the tail should
be strong at the root, rising high from
tbe Group, the direction of which it
follows. When this is horizontal the
tail is gracefully carried, especially
when the horse is moving. With
powerful, good-shaped horses it is
often carried upward, or even curved
over the back, especially when the
horse is lively. The health and
strength of the animal are, according
to popular notions, indicated by the
resistance the tad offers to manual in
terference and by the way in which it
is carried. To some extent also it af.

A fdgety horse usually has the tail,
like the ears, always in motion; when
about to kick, the tail is drawn down.
ward between the legs; when the ami
NAL is fatigued or exhausted then it is
dropping and frequently tremulous;
and with some horses, when gallop-
ing, it is swung about in circular
manner or lashed from side to side.
There can scarcely be any doubt also
that, like the tail of birds, it assists in
the horses movements, as when the
animal is galloplng in a small circle,
or rapidly turning round corner, it
is curved to the inner side.
With well-bred horses the hair of
the tail is comparatively fine and
straight, and often grows to such
length that it reaches the ground;
coarse-bred horses may also have the
hair long, but then it is usually very
thick and strong, and more or less
frizzly, though soft curly hair may
occasionally be noticed in the tail of
thoroughbred horses. In some horses
there is tendency to shedding of the
tail hair this, like that of the name,
tail, forelock, fetlocks, and some 9th
er parts, is permanent, and lot shed
at certain seasons, as in other regions
of tho body the horse is then said
to be "rat-tailed," and there is
popular saying to the effect that such
o horse is never q bad one. In other
instances the tail hair falls off except
at the end of the dock, where it forms
tuft, and the horse is then "cow-
tailed" or "mule.tailed. ."-Nineteenth

San Francisco Oct. 26.-According TO ''fhe Exam

there has been SO much speculation, was placed IN
the hands of the attorneys for the defence before
Mr. Deuprey made his opening statement to the
fury Every effort has been made to keep these
facts secret but they have leaked out at last, and
denials without effect.
In giving his sealed statement to his attorneys
Durrant made a written reques; that 1t was not to
be opened until after the trial and then only In
case OF conviction II the jury brought In verdict
OF acqulttal or If there a disagreement then
the document with the seas unbroken. was to be

last details of a murder. He saw the Rev D. George

To a reporter OF The Tribune Showalter made
the following remarks about the games
Although there many masters who do not
believe in the defence which adopted in the first
game. / think 1t is all right Neither do deem the
attack by means OF PIX Kt in any way prema-
ture. Whether did right in taking the pawn and
thus getting numerical advantage. | really don't
know. ] fancy | could have done better II had
continued my attack instead. for | might have
won the pawn later on in the game.
However i ought not 10 have allowed my edver-
sary TO block the position, which made my bishop
perfectly useless Still Lipschutz deserves great
credit for his, end game play. which was OF very
high order The fatal error committed was to
play for a win. when l ought to have been salts
fed with draw. If / had played BOZ Instead
of to b believe that ought TO have drawn the
game
1T is really remarkable that nothing could have
saved the game after BIB in spite Of the fact that
j had pawn 10 the good and that bishops OF
opposite color were left on the board"
Respecting the second game Showalter did not
care TO say much You see" said he. the game
was played on we-known lines for great num-
Der of moves and although l got in some work
with my knight and managed to get threatening
position don't know whether much would nave
been the outcome of 1t had Lpschdz not mace
that peculiar excursion with his bishop. which gave
me a pawn. and If l had liked might perhaps.
have drawn the game there and then. on the other
hand my opponent remained with two bishops
against two knights for the end game. state OF
affairs which might almost be considered an equiv
alent for the lost pawn. -
Had ne not insisted to play for a win as did
in the first game. but had he played for a draw by
forcing the exchange of rocks think he would
have succeeded. The moment he gave me a chance
of getting my almost imprisoned knight into play,
the game over.
Last night the representatives OF the various clubs
affiliated with the metropolitan Chess League met
at the Manhattan Chess Club TO arrange the sched-
ue for the matches TO be played this season
Whether report this gathering can be
published in other part of this paper depends.
Of course the time the meeting gets through its
business To judge from present appearances the
chances that the Manhattan. City. Metropolitan,
Brooklyn, Newark and Staten Island clubs will
again be in 1t for the fight of chess supremacy in
the metropolitan district.
Senior VI. NJ. Sterling, the champion Of Mexico
left yesterday for Europe. To a reporter OF The
Tribune he gave the score of game which he drew
against Lipschutz The score is appended:
