allowed themselves to be harnessed to
hanson cab and, with bits in their
mouths, were driven through the prin-
cipal streets of the town By their Nc
Kinley opponents who, everybody will
admit, had more luck than sense.
Charles Becker, a prominent citizen
of New Brunswick, N. j., was fated to
wheel William Lawrence, another IN
duential citizen, about the main streets
of the town in a barrow. He complied
with all the requirements of the wager,
but when, at the foot of the hill, Law
renee stepped out, a humorous specta-
tor coated the box of the barrow with
a coat Of liquid glue. At the top Of the
hill the winner resumed his seat which
stuck to him with such ~tenacity that
the box had 10 be removed with an AK.
Prof. Eschert, leader of the orchestra
at the Atlantic garden, New York, rode
a coal black horse from the Brooklyn
bridge to a brewery on Ninety-frst
street, in full evening costume. The
horse drew a buggy in which sat the
winner of the bet. The strange turn
out was preceded by a Hungarian band
and followed by a coach full of roaring,
noisy, horn-blowing SPECTATORS.

Gently dined Off the largest crow that
could be found in the New Jersey

back out when.t the meal was set before
him, but as the conditions of the bet

selected a 2Oo-pound pig from his herd
Of swine and attempted to drive the
creature a distance of two miles to
Newall's farm. The pig proved to be
stubborn and upset the farmer, break
ing his collar bone in the fall. He will
make no more election bets, sensible or
otherwise.
Bets calling for the shaving on one
side of mustache, whiskers or hair were
so numerous this year that they at
tracted very little attention. And the
same holds good of wheelbarrow
wagers. Both of these forms OF cleo
ton gambling are 50 antiquatcd that
even the foolkiller would hesitate to
snite the parties concerned in them.
No better conclusion to this collec-
tion of freaks al DO found than the
bet said to have been made at Coalton,
o., between Rev. John Oiler, a Baptist
minister, and Davis Armstrong, Jr., a
coal operator. The conditions OF this
wager, which, by the way, has not been
verified. were that in case Of McKin.

case of Bryan's election Armstrong

The fool is still abroad in the land.
That was conclusively demonstrated
after the result Of the presidential cleo
tion had been published and the chumps
who had made peculiar election wagers
began to make public exhibitions of
themselves. It is simply impossible to
give a complete list of the asinine wag-
ers made in this year of grace 1896. but
to satisfy myself Of the commences Of
Q few OF the most absurd / instituted
inquiries which satisfy me that those
about to be detailedwere not only made,
but have been, or wilkbe, carried out to
the letter.
Charles Cook, an otherwise sen sible
Chicagoan, stood for eight hours on a
frequented street corner, grinding a
hand organa and holding a tin cup to col
lect enough money to pay his oppon-
ent's expenses of a trip to Mexico. The
receipts of the exhibition did notyield
sufficient cash and Cook had to make up
the deficit from his w purse. No
monkey was needed in this instance
to make the masquerade realistic, the
grinder being monkey enought to satisfy
every spectator and contributor.
