HORSES ARE LUCKY.
Theatrical People Believe the Equine
Il Mascot.

From the Boston Traveller.
There is an old theatrical supersti-
ton that horses are very lucky TO have
in a play and theatrical superstitions like
all others, die hard. There are one or
two leading London managers who,if they
We're to reveal their Utmost thoughts, be-
lieve in this superstition and to this very
day. "Cut the cackle and come to the
'osses," was the favorite maxim of the
celebrated Ducrow, and he had good
cause to believe in "osses," for they made
him one of the most prominent men of
his time.
Sir Augustus Harris is a firm believer
in the horse theory. for there has not been
a recent successful Drury Lane drama
in which horse has not appeared, while
a great many of them have owed their
success in a great measure to the intro
duction of the equine.
In the present drama running at Drury
Lane is represented for the first time in
the history of the stage a polo match with
trained ponies. that have often played in
matches on the actual ground at Hurl-
ingham, in the mimic representation of
which, on the stage, they appear every
night.
Sir Augustus Harris tells a good story
of one of these ponies, a beautiful little
gray, formerly the property of Sir George
ponies We're brought down near the foot
lights that they might get accustomed to
the glare and so not get frightened during
the performance at night.
1t so happened that one of the dummy
horses that are used in the battle scene
THE Last Stand'-was lying on the
stage The little gray pony caught sight
of it, and struggled until he got over to
where it lay. He shifted and shifted a it
for some minutes and seemed TO be very
much puzzled; finally, to the great amuse-
ment of everybody on the stage, he made
a vicious bite at the dummy's ear, which
not being very firmly attached came Off
The pony stood still for a moment with
a strange, frightened look, in his eyes,
and then took to his heels up the stage
For weeks afterwards it was impossible
to get the pony to come down anywhere
near the footlights.
The largest theatrical stables in the
world are those kept by horseman near
Drury Lane theater. Here one often sees
more than 100 horses that are being used
for various theatrical purposes. From
these stables horses are sent all over
England with touring companies Often
there will be as many as two hundred
horses travelling in various parts of the
country from this establishment alone

TEN CONF PAN|ES At MASS
League of the Cross, Six Hun
dred Strong, Visits the
Cathedral.

The League of the Cross Cadets turned
out 800 strong yesterday for requiem mass
at st. Mary's Cathedral.
Shortly before s 80 o'clock the youths in
full uniform and wearing their sabers at
their sides entered the church two by two
and took seats along the main aisles. The
whole central part of the cathedral soon
presented an unbroken body of youthful
soldiery Assem- bled for religious service.
Hundreds of other worshipers occupied
every other available seat, and the galleries
were filled with people.
Father Mulligan of st. Marys Cathedral
celebrated the mass and Father RYAN of
st. Bridget's officiated as deacon of the
mass, while Father Mcdonald OF st. Peters s
acted as sub-deacon. Father Joseph Byrne
of st. Mary's was master of ceremonies.
1t had been the intention TO have Father
Philip O'Ryan, director of the League of
the Cross Cadets, preach to the regiment
upon the observance of Memorial day, but
as soon as mass was over, shortly after 8 80
o'clock, the cadets had to leave in order TO
be in time to participate in the general pa
rade of the forenoon.
When the Memorial day parade was
over the cadets disbanded and scattered to
their several homes for luncheon. At /
o'clock companies A and / took the elec-
trio cars for Holy Cross Cemetery in San
Mateo County. They were accompanied
by Father O'Ryan and by I. H. Failon, a
member of the executive committee.

GARFIELD POST GREETED
Patriotic Services at the Geary'
Street Temple Last
Night.

Special memorial services were held at
the Geary-street Temple last night in
honor of Garfield Post, G. A. R.
Rabbi NJ. s. Levy delivered a patriotic
address, in which he paid high tribute to
the dead heroes of the civil war and to the
survivors of both sides who now in perfect
fellowship unite in observing Decoration
day.
The altar was beautifully decorated with
silken American flags. Upon an easel and
deeply inderted in q frame of mourning
was large picture of Garfield, and on
either hand were smaller pictures of equal
~ martyred. Lincoln and of Grant, the
greatest figure of the rebellion
A great throng was already in the tenn
pie when the veterans entered two by two
as the big organ-pipes i'll mighty well
come rolled out Marching Through
Georgia" The music was notable feat
ure OF the evening. Beginning With ITO
the Memory of Our Departed the choir
sang four pieces, concluding with
"America," in which the whole congrega-
ton united in a resounding chorus. The
other pieces were 80 Lord, What Is
Man ?" and REST, Spirit, Rest" AS the
veterans marched out the organ pealed
forth II medley of National airs.
The choir was made up of the following
persons: Mr.. Sandy, bass; NJ. Jones,
tenor; Miss Rose Adler and Mrs. Buner,
sopranos, and Mrs. Burgess and Miss Juli-
ette Levi, alt's. Mr.. Bretherick of the
Unitarian church was the organist.
During his address Rabbi Levy said:
Few of these historical war days are free from
the double bitterness that the fruit of the vic
tory, dearly bought by the blood OF the people,
accrues only to the titled few. How different
is the message winged by our Decoration day
No potentRte has ordered its institution. The
people of their own free will and choice conse-
Grated ii To its noble uses Legislation giving
il the character of a legal holiday ratified only
what the people had done before.
What is the thought which is alive in the
flowers we plant on the graves of the departed
heroes? That we live in peace for the death
they fought
Heroism is not yet extinct. Among all
classes and under all climes are to be found
those willing to risk life and limb when duty
calls The brave of Gettysburg and Appomat-
tox died that we might live. The war they
waged was not to be compared to European
wars, q torerunner of still greater struggle
and havoc and hatred, but our war was a gate
way 10 eternal peace. There is no triumph in
the memories of Decoration day. The flowers
and flags that we have placed on the graves OF
our departed proclaim 10 the world that the
people of America are not Gngrateful Deco
ration day is new conservation to the duties
OF our constitutional life. 1t proclaims les
son of patriotism that no other Nation has the
privilege to understand or to apply.
