Ii the trouble is very serious 1t is highly
desirable to summon q veterinary sur
geon, if one is TO be had but otherwise, if
you wish to save your horse to usefulness,
the measure taken must be energetically
and faithfully perseyered in, and the shoe
should not be replaced for a long time,
and then with great caution.
Wounds of the frog and sole of the foot

usually need to be pared out by black

Piles, if q horses hoof is punctured and no
other remedy is at hand, 1t is a good thing
to apply turpentine freely and frequently.
Sometimes this is all that is necessary.
Thrush is a trouble often seen among
our heavy horses. 1t is generally caused
by stable carelessness, as when the horse
is allowed to stand in dirty stall, or in
moist litter. 1t does not usually cause
lameness, but there is an unpleasant dis
charge from the cleft OF the frog, and the
cleft deepens and looks like a crack. In
time the disease advances until it becomes
canker, when it is very stubborn and can
only be cured by skilled professional treat
ment.
With little reasonable care, however.
and common observation ON the part OF the
horses owner, the trouble, even If once al
lowed to begin, should never reach this
stage. Strong carbolic lotion is the best
remedy. 1t should be used three times
day and the stall kept perfectly clean. The
disease is almost always caused by filth in
the stall and neglect to keep the anlmaFs
feet clean. 1t most frequently attacks the
hind feet. If there is lameness, as some
times does occur, hot lamentations and
charcoal poultces should be used. As
preventive, the hoof should be kept dry as
possible, the frogs left intact in shoeing,
and, if feasible, the walls of the hoof low
cred little to bring extra pressure on the
frog. In any event thinner shoes should
be used until cure is effected.

lameness continues veterinary should be
consulted, as it is likely there is suppura-

treated by an amateur. The wound
should be dressed with some antiseptic
dressing, retained by bandage. In time

LOYALTY ON THE FRONT,
A Yacht Lying at Jackson.Street
Wharf Looted by Water
Thieves.
How a Persmbulating Machinist and
His Family Take Their Country
Vacations.

Along the water front out on the bay
the shipping was profusely and prettily
decorated-colors flying from mast and
yard. All of the British vessels in the
harbor few their bunting with Old Glory
at the fore and their own national ensign
at the mizzen, a graceful observation of
the American natal day.
The white cruiser Charleston showed all
her flags and signal mum bers streaming
from head to stern and the old monitor
Comanche fairly outdid herself. Over her
decks and above the bridges white avn
ings were spread and lines of bunting
blazed fore and aft.
Two divisions of the Naval Reserve are
quartered aboard of the vessel with their
bedding. rations and accouterments, and
once more she is a man-of-war. 1t is the
intention of Lieutenant Commander Tur-
ner to give the battalion several days drill
afoat at the guns and in the boats. Off,
GERS and men alike are standing watch
and performing all their duties under the
strict discipline of the navv.
The water front thieves were quite
active around Jackson-street wharf Friday
night. James Paine, the owner of the
Yacht Wave, left his vessel alongside of
and returned at IL.
A considerable change had taken place
in his absence. The little vessel had been
overrun and she showed unmistakabe
signs of being the worse for wear. Not
only had she been rummaged around the
deck but the cabin had been plucked
clean.
From clothing to eatables the visitors
had helped themselves, sparing nothing.
They took large iron bound trunk which
indicates that they boarded the yacht in a
boat. The other plumber was a 12-gauge
shotgun, one large marine glass, three
suits OF clothes, several bags of powder and
! shot, an extension bit, saw-set and ali
the provisions the cabin contained.
The thieves also took a number of valu-
able papers belonging to the owner,
among which were the deeds to several
pieces of property in South San Francisco.
These could be of no use to anybody ex-
cept TO Mr.. Paine, and to take them awav
was mere wantonness and reasonless
theft. The police are making search for
the missing articles, but have not yet
found any trace of them.

Works, is an inveterate traveller, having
tramped all over the globe, and all his off
days are passed roaming around through
the country.
The perambulating machinist made
small sensation when he came down on
the ferry wharf with his party. He was
trundling a baby-carriage, in which were
seated, facing each other. twins-a boy
and girl-about 16 months old. Behind
the small vehicle was canvas seat, where
the next youngSter, boy about four
years old, could ride when he got tired OF
walking. Two other small boys and the
hardy little mother made up the party.
On the running-gear under the body OF
the carriage, neatly folded up, was can
vas tent, bedding, provisions and few
cooking utensils. The whole load, babies
and all, weighed about 100 pounds. A
movable awning covered the tiny passen-
gers from the sun.
This is the way we take our outings"

l rigged up this convenient affair myself,
ana as we are all great walkers 1T suits our
purpose. If the way is too rough or we
get too tired, we take the train, and when
we get enough of that we get off and strike
out through the country. When we come
to goo campground we set our tent and
are at home till we wish to move again.

OPENING OF THE CASINO.
A Good Variety Bill Presented
at the New Chutes
Theater.
The Black Patti Made a Distinct
Hit-Imperial Russian
Orchestra.

There was large crowd at the opening
of the Chutes Casino, on Haight street,
yesterday afternoon. The building is a
good deal in the style of the late Vienna
Prater of Midwintef Fair fame, but it is
without the cum bersome galleries which
disfigured the Prater. There are tables
where liquid aad solid refreshments can be
partaken of, and it goes without saying
that smoking is not prohibited.
The acoustic properties of the building
are bv no means unsatisfactory, though in
big barnlike structures of the kind, with
high-raftered roofs, j: is not 10 be expected
that the sound will carry quite so well as
in a regularly built theater.
The lofty roof, however, will be of great
service in giving full scope for the per-
formances of acrobats and aerialists.
The Marlo-Dunbam family, who formed
part of yesterdays programme, appeared
to much better advantage than they had
previously done at the Orpheum on
account of the wide space for their aerial
somersaults.
