considerable amusement at the expense of

No onense was proved. but Judge Sparks,

The following clipping from the Turf
Field and Farm is of local interest, since
1t tells some facts about horses that were
at the Anaconda track last year:
IS. s. Huntley of Riverside Stock farm,
Montana, was in our Office on Tuesday
and reported that his horses, 200 head,
and 5000 sheep, have been running out
all winter and are in fine condition on
grass alone. There is, in his Judgment
no better winter climate for grazing than

and weaned 40 strong, highly formed
colts. He will keep on breeding and not
attempt to force the product of his stud
on the market until the times improve
He thinks highly of his young stallion

a daughter of Bishop by Princeps and
will give him not less than % mares in
the spring. Bishop is now in England

Several years ago. while at jamestown,
N. Y, Mr.. Huntley purchased of General
Parker who was in the war on General
Grants staff, a small bay mare called
May Bonner, by Robert Bonner jr, out
ol uduBnleT OF MAJOR EQSall. There
was a filly by her side. but he had no use
for 1t and 1t was not included in the sale.
The mare was led through the bars and
the filly was so eager to follow her that
IT jumped with the grace of a deer the
high fence. Mr.. Huntley admired this dis
play of agility and when he was told that
the filly was by the thoroughbred horse
Martinez, he asked the price and paid it,
General Parker purchased Martinez in
Virginia, and he was by JEFF Davis, out

erwise. 1t will consist of a main arch
span $40 feet long and two shore spans.
The span on the American side Will be
100 feet long and that on the Cana
dian side 210 feet in length. The arch
span will consist of an open parabolic
rib 26 feet in depth, with rise of los
feet at the center. The distance be-
tween the skewbacks, or courses of ma
sonry which support the ends of the
arch on each side of the river, is 6S feel
inches. The skewbacks are embedded
in great bodies of cement stepped into
the solid rock. and as the weight of the
bridge falls in a lateral direction. the
foundation is as solid as rock can make
IL. The skewbacks on the American
side are ready for the iron, and opera
tions on the Canadian side are being
theoretically prosecuted.
The total width of the floor of the
new bridge will be 46 feet in the clear.
of this % feet inches in the center
will be given up to a double track for
electric cars. feet on either side for
carriageways, and feet 9 inches out
side the carriageways for sidewalks.
Although ii will be an exceedingly
heavy structure. its great length and
general dimensions will dwarf the
ponderous steel beams and give the
bridge a light and pleasing effect. The
engineers revised estimates-the bridge
originally was designed for carriages
and pedestrians only-are yet incom-
plete, but ii is known that something
over 1000, 900 pounds of steel will be re-
quired in the construction of the new
bridge
Undoubtedly there are plans well I'M
der way for a scheme of electric rail-
way connection between the sight-see-
ing trolley systems of the American
and Canadian sides, but thus far moth
ing has been made public by the par
ties most deeply concerned. The ulti-
mate completion of loop line by
means of another bridge across the
Niagara river at Lewiston, is known
to be one of the fondest desires of
Captain Brinker and those interested
with him in the Great Gorge Route"
The difficulties in the way will now
easily be overcome. 1t is said that the
necessary charter has been obtained
from the United States government,
and an application will be made to the
Canadian parliament for similar au-
thority at it's next session. The round
trip over the new bridge in full view
of both great cataracts, along the Can
adam bluff, over Queenstown Heights
to Queenstown, across another bridge
at Lewiston, and along the Gorge Road
to Niagara Falls, is the scheme.
Only one contract has been let for
the construction of the new bridge,
that for the masonry. Officers of the
bridge company are reticent as to fur
Their progress, although they express
the hope that the new bridge will be

TRICKS PLAYED BY CHAIRS.
Practical Jokers Havs Wasted a Deal of
Ingenuity in Their Construction.

Practical Jokers Have Wasted a Deal of
Ingenuity in Their Construction.
From the New York World
Furniture designed to facilitate the
purposes of practical jokers is, it ap-
pears, regularly manufactured. If you
are the guest of one of these charm
ing humorists you are liable to be sud
denly Rugged by the arms of the chair
you sit on or violently thrown to the
floor by it.
One chair gives the person who sits
in 1t a severe blow on the back of the
head. The weight of the sitter causes
the back edge of the chair to subside
and press upon the lower end of an up
right middle piece forming part of the
the back. This middlepiece Immediate
ly comes in contact with the sitter's
head. Springs cause both the seat and
the back to regain their position as
the chair is unoccupied. The imprison-
ing chairs are of various types. In one
case the weight of the sitter depresses
the seat an inch or so and makes the
front halves of the arms arch over his
legs. Bolts with springs shoot out and
hold the arms in place.
In another case the front of the seat
subsidies a distance sufficient to drop
the sitter to the ground. When you
first sit down in the embracing chair
nothing unusual appears, but as soon
as you lean back the two arms inclose
you. Each arm is hinged to the inner
side of a back upright. The back is
hinged to the seat, but is prevented
from falling too far by means of a
curved back rail Joined to the uprights.
When pressure is exerted on the back
the curved ends of the arms are push
ed, thus causing the arms to swing
round.
Another device is music stool
which falls suddenly as soon as a man
sits on il. The result is almost inevita-
bly, TO throw him to the floor. The top.
of course, does not maintain level as
it sinks, but the part sat upon falls
more than the rest of 1t. The secret
of this is that the top rests on springs
the stool. The raisable table. Ii is sug-
gested, would be very useful to bogus
Spiritualists. The persons attending a
seence are requested to press their
hands on the table and concentrate
their will power in an effort to raise IT,
Gradually II will rise and then sink
down again.
The marvel is produced by flower
vase secured to the bottom board of
the table. This vase contains a spring
and a rod which is released by the foot
of the man in the secret. The rod
presses the floor and raises the table.
A joint in the rod causes the table to
fall at a certain point The pressure
of hands on the table is needed to keep
il from topping over.
