The Interesting Performance of an Equine
Gymnast.
1t is the easiest thing in the world for
horse to eat from the ground standing
that is the way it feeds in nature
but horse that was standing in Nassau
street the other day, attached to a de-
livery wagon, ate from the ground i'll
way that interested everybody who saw
him.
Strengthening out his fore legs in
front OF him, at an angle of about 40
degrees, something as dog straightens
out his fore legs in stretching, he low
cred his body at the shoulders to about
half its usual elevation above the
ground. Then he inclined his head
downward between his legs until his
lips touched the pavement. He didn't
need to bend his neck more than half as
much as would have been necessary if
he had remained standing with his fore
legs upright. 1t was like feat in gym
nastics.
A crescent shaped crowd gathered in
front of the horse, one horn of the cres-
cent being ON one sidewalk and the
other on tho other. Somebody put a
pear down ON the pavement between the
horses feet. Out went his feet and down
he lowered his body and then deliber-
ately he inclined his head and picked
up the pear; and then he Strengthened
up and ate it, all to the great enjoy
ment of the crowd. One man said Bar
mum ought to have him, and yet when
he Strengthened up and was standing at
rest he was just a good looking horse
whom nobody would ever have taken
for the prize horse gymnast.
A boy laid down the core of an apple
and the lCrse pic2ed that up as before
while the crowd locked on, and present
ly the driver came cIt % q Building and
jumped on the seat of the wagon. He
saw the crowd. but he didn't let on that

drove off, and then the crowd melted

TERRILL'S WIN.


The red and white of the Olympic
Club Wheelman went down to defeat
yesterday at Central Park. w. A. Ter
rill of the Bay City Wheelmen defeated
Allan Jones in their match race.
1t required all the formers speed
and track generalship to win the race,
which practically carried with it the
professional championship of the
Coast. Jones won the toss for position
and chose tn, inside. At he start he
caught Il. r. Dow, the pacemaker, who
led at three-quarter speed. When j. f.
Edwards took BOWS place at half dis
lance the relative position of the rid
crs did not change, although the pace
quickened noticeably. At the bell
Jones commenced his effort, and led
until the men entered the finishing
straight. At this point Terrill had
drawn nearly level, and in the last few
yards to the tape he seemed to ia rly
lift his wheel from the ground, win
ming by almost a length. The second
heat was decided tie between the rid
ers. The third heat went to Terrill.
Terril once paid an extended visit
to Honolulu and participated in road
race here.
GREAT RELAY RULES.
Riders must be prepared to start at

hand ahead of time, in order to take
the packet if it is brought in ahead of
time. If a rider finds no courier in
waiting to relieve him he should con
tinue riding until he meets the next
relay.
Under no circumstances should the
packet be at a standstill. If you can
make but five miles an hour. be sure
to keep moving.
The duties of the substitute are pre-
cisely the same as those of the vorl
Ter, and he is entitled to and will re-
ceive the same souvenir as the actual
carrier of the packet. Should cour
Ter fail to appear, or become disabled
on the road, the substitute will take
the relay in his stead. Under any cir
cumstances the substitute should ac-
company the courier over his relay.
| The marshals will assist by seeing
that the road is kept clear by guiding
the riders on the right path and by
| every other means in their power.
