to receive box two inches wide, eX-
tending entirely across the track.
In the box are five leaves lying at
an angle of about fifty degrees from the
horizontal, much after the manner Of
as many leaves in book. These
leaves extend above the level of the
track less than an inch, and there being
an eighth of an inch difference in each
leaf, the last leaf extends above the
track only far enough to receive the
impression of the wheel of the rider
who crossed in that position.
Each leaf is coated with paint, white
enamel being preferable, and as the
first man crosses the box his front
wheel receives five white stripes on the
tread of the tire, and the fifth and far
thest bar, the last one touched, is in
stantly depressed by means Of a trip
ping apparatus, which is contained in
the end boxes on either side of the
track, and which is connected with
the leaves at the points where they are
hinged to the immovable common CEN
ter in the near side of the box.
For instance, in a close finish, the
first man across the tape receives an
impression on his front tire of five
marks; the second man, if less than a
wheel length to the bad. receives four
on his front wheel. The rear wheel Of
the winner is marked with three stripes
and the third man, if his front wheel
is ahead of the rear wheel of the rider
who takes second place, receives two
stripes on his front tire, etc. Any pos
sible combination from a dead heat to
walkover, may be effectively judged by
the apparatus.

a bounty of 81 head.
1T was five days before he had a
chance to do this, and when he dug on:

three rabbits, and a very large wood

end. The cartridges were partly eaten.

"Sportsmen have long claimed that

farmers boys have for killing the fox
is the bounty money. Eight cartridges
