DRILLING By BELL SIGNALS.
Riding q Horse Which Knew More Of
Street Cars Than Cavalry Tactics.

J.
He was a National Guard cavalryman.
When at home he rode fine charger and
made a stern and martial appearance as
he escorted the governor down Broadway
or galloped across the fields for drill at
Van Cortlandt Park. But when he went
to Buffalo to patrol the railroad tracks
and lumber yards, the state mounted him
on a superannuated car horse. The car
horse has number branded on his hoof
and still labored under the impression that
he was drawing something heavy. When
out in the fields away from car tracks il
was possible to Vancouver him i'm accord
ance with military tactics, only when he
felt the spurs and concluded that it was
necessary for him to move forward he
did not start gracefully. but spread his
hind feet, braced himself for the effort,
made a convulsive jump and was off.
The guardsman managed very well with
his queer mount for the first few days.
Then. one morning, he was ordered into
the city on an errand This just suited
the car horse The street cars were
familiar sights. and he felt at home. Ev-
cry moving car he sided up TO like the
third horse who helps car up a hill and
the rider in constant danger of get
ting his shins barkad, while his steed
blandly renewed his acquaintance with old
friends. Riding rules went by the board,
and the gpardsman surrendered all pride,
gave up thinking of the figure he cut, and
devoted himself TO pulling the animal
about by the bit. and urging him on with
fierce application Of the spurs.
In this way he managed to keep NOV
ing till the street car barns were reached.
I There stood car with its horses at
the drinking fountain. The gaurdsman
Immediately found himself lined up be-
side them by his prancing steed, and no
amount Of squirting and no amount Of in
genuity known to the trained horseman
would avail to make the charger start
up. The drivers and grooms gathered
to hear the explanation Of the soldier 8
Froublel and welcome their old four
footed friend home.
How get him started again was a
serious j roblem. The rider had enough
self respect left to prevent his diemount-
ing and leading his horse away. Finally
the car conductor proposed new tactics.
That was drilling by bells. lie rang the
car bell. The car horse braced himself
and pulled. Before he knew II he was on
his way, leaving the street car behind and
Beore he left Buffalo the guardsman had
perfected a plan for cavalry drill by bell
signals. Only the cessation Of the troub-
les prevented his attempt to put
it in operation
