AN IMPERIAL BANQUET.
Stately Ceremonies That Followed the
Coronation of the Late Gear.


Stately Ceremonies That Followed the
Coronation of the Late Gear.
1.-THE Growing Of a Gar" describing
the ceremonies at the coronation Of Alex
ander III, is the title Of a paper In The
Century. 1t is written by Miss Mary
Grace Thornton, daughter Of the British
ambassador. OF the banquet that followed
the coronation Miss Thornton says;
The Granovtaya palata is room of
endless associations In Russian history.
In appearance it is very characteristic-a
room that one does not forget. 1t was al
ready very full when we were summoned
there. The dais on which their majesties
were TO DC served was placed In one corner
of the room, under high canopy, and
facing 1t at an angle, but hidden by the
huge column that holds up the ceiling,
were the orchestra and choir who were to
make music during the feast. Tables were
spread In different parts of the room for
ladies in waiting, etc. On the dais a small
table had been set before the two thrones,
and at the corners of the dais stood four
ohevaliers gardes, sword In hand. OF
course we waited a long time, and my
Frenchman became so impatient and noisy
that Sturmer, a master of ceremony, had
to announce the emperor several times to
keep him quiet.
At last, just as gray pigeon had flown
in at the window, ciroled above our heads
and flown out again every lucky" said
the Russian), here his majesty was. We
were to go when he asked for wine, after
an old custom, for John the Terrible, it
seems, was SO violent in his cups that the
foreigners were allowed to retire when he
began to drink, leaving him to his faith
full subjects. Mr.. Sturmer seemed very
anxious for our safety, for Alexander III
had not got through his soup even when
he bundled us off. l longed to rush up to
the throne and ask II mightn't stay. AS
we left we met another dish being escort
ed by six ohevaliers gardes to the Grand
Marechal de la Cour, who served the en-
peror. am surprised that it got past the
soldiers outside.
An officer whom we saw there has told
us since that they left their barracks at
half past in the morning and were on
duty till in tho afternoon, and Mr.. L.
says that it was torture to smell the good
things as they were carried under his nose.

home to food, he was too tired to touch 1t
and could only throw himself upon his bed

BISHOPS HAMlLTONIAN.
From Turf, Field and Farm.


We have received the following letter
from a prominent citizen of the Buck
eye State;
SPRINGFIELD. o., May 8, 1896.
Mr.. HAMILTON BUsBEY, Editor Iurt,
Field and Farm.
Dear Sir Il have read with much
pleasure and profit in the current issue
of Scribner's Magazine your admirable
article on the evolution of the trotting
horse. was much surprised to find no
mention whatever of Bishops Handle
tonan, who, if family tradition be
worth anything at all, was, in his day
and generation, zone of the finest" AS
am the grandson of Isaac Bishop, his
owner, possibly may have an exagger-
ated idea of the good points of this horse,
and shall esteem it a favor II you Will
inform me through your columns as to
whether or not am right in supposing
him to have been the progenitor OF the
famous Hambletonan stock.
In my grandfather's receipt book
which have in my possession, under
date of February 8, 1921, occurs the tol-
lowing entry: Granville, Washington
county, n. Y. Received of Isaac Bishop,
eight hundred dollars in full for my
share of the noted horse Hamiltonian,
and l warrant and guarantee to him, the
said Isaac, two-fifths of the said horse,
which | own, and deliver HIM to the
said Isaac free of all incumbrance'
(Signed) Simmons Germond."
1t will be noticed the horses name is
here spelled "HamiltOnian" instead OF
Hambletonian, and as my grandfather
was an ardent admjrer and friend OF
Alexander Hamilton. am confident that
he named this horse for him, and that
therefore, the name should now be
spelled Hamiltonian.
| may add that Bishops Hamiltoniar
was sired by imp. Messenger.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN V. BISHOP.

does, standing or travelling. just so
much It recedes from the vertical line,
so much shorter than the opposite leg
will 1t become. On account of this
treading inwardly, an uneven gait of the
hip is produced which has often been
mistaken for painful lameness and tor
hitching."
A veteran trainer recently remarked to
"Grlffin" of the Turf, Field and Farm; ;
"a long experience has taught me sever
al things. | will never breed bad
temper, never breed bad gait, and
never breed place to put boots on If |
can avoid 1t. If you breed to bad
tempered horse you are pretty sure TO
get one of the same disposition and to
have to be continually fighting him; IL
you breed to one who hits himself, owing
to defective conformation, you will
probably get one who repeats the faults
of his sire and be continually expert
menting at considerable cost, with
boots and weights, and fail in the end"
This is elementary, but full of sound
sense. People are to apt to think of
nothing but breeding in selecting a STALL
ion, and to overlook or neglect to inform
themselves about disposition and gait.
A conservative breeder writes to Tro-
ter and PAGER as follows: ITO my mind
the dam of the two-minute trotter Is yet
to be served by any horse. She is some
intelligently bred mare as we can see
things today; a mare of superior indi-
vidual merit, which means breeding,
gait, head and an individuality that will
stand the necessary work, for the tIot is
in a measure an artificial gait whic re-
quires cultivation and development; such
education to be conducted by brainy
trainer that will study nature and wait
until age brings strength. A baby
should not be required to do a mans
work. Comparatively few of the pre-
cocious ones have trained on, for too
much has been asked of them when
young. They have been cracked some.

One of the most disagreeable words that
baye lately come into use is brainy." 1t
Is applied to persons with big brains. Thus
we are told lay an esteemed contemporary
that many "brainy women of supreme in
telligence have had very large feet" If
this is the case why not condense and say
these ladies We're "footy," which is just as
legitimate as "brainy" BY the same
reasoning, paradoxical as it may seem, "a
man with large hands would be HANDY. A"

VARIOUS NOTES.

"Horsemen are becoming more critical
every day. We know of several men,
saws the Horse Breeder, "who want to
buy good horses, but most of them want
the horses made to order in size, confor-
nation, color, gait and temperament.
Those who are trying to breed for the
market should bear this in mind and Sc
lect such mares and stations as will be
most likely to give the desired result"
'There is no better collection of foods
for both the brood mare and the colts"
says the Country Gentleman, than
roots, oats, wheat bran and middlings,
linseed meal, skim milk, though other
materials, such as barley, corn to a linn
tied extent, malt sprouts and other by
products may be used. A grain mixture
consisting of four parts wheat bran for
middlings (not the finest), and one part
linseed meal will do all that any mix
ture will in promoting the kind of growth
that is desired. In the case of the mares,
the quantity of grain ration that should
be fed depends so much upon conditions
such as size, the quantity OF work,
whether in CESSATION or sucking the foal-
that we are sure it will be more sensible
for a practical feeder to govern the
ratio by his personal observation than
by any arbitrary rule which we might
venture to suggest. Skim milk would
be a food par excellence for the colts,
60 oil d
supply of this can be had at twenty
cents or less per 100 pounds, no more
economical food could be found for part
of the ration. If the milk is fed the
linseed meal may be left out of the ra-
ton, and the bran and oats retained. in
the proportion of one pound of the mix
ture to six pounds of the milk for the
younger colts, the proportion of grain
increasing as the animals grow older.
The skim milk would also be splendid
food for the mares while sucking their
foal. In any case. especially if all other
foods are dry, roots are exceedingly de-
sirable as an occasional feed. and to the
colts may be fed daily with excellent
results
"Horse lovers are Just as numerous as
ever" says The American Sportsman,
"but a majority of those who would like
to crafty their love are without the
ready wherewith. Money, which has
made the mare go from time immemoral,
has been too scarce, or too much CONCEALED
in the great money centers. Whenever
favorable business conditions prevail
horses will be in as full demand as ever
before and at fair prices. The bicycle
craze doubtless hurts the livery business,
but no more than the skating rink craze
did the theatre business dozen years
ago. If you will look over your local
list of bike devotees you will discover
very few who ever drove trotter or
invested 50 in livery rig for an evening
drive"
Speaking of lameness in horses, that
eminent authority, Roberge, says; "A
horse may exhibit some degree of lame
ness when there is no evidence of disease,
pain or fever, from the fact that the
inside half of one of the hind feet COM
pared with the outside half of the same
foot, is too high. 1t is plain that such a
foot, hanging vertically, could not touch
the ground with both heels, and in order
to do so he must carry his leg forward
and inward, and this is just what he
