can say, concerning our San Francisco
show, that we are right up to date. This
is the third California show. The first
! show our horses were not equal to those
shown the second year, and those exhfb-
tied the second year will not be up to what
will be exhibited this year. The horses
that get blue ribbons here this year would
stand good chance in New York
"That applies to all the classes which
will be exhibited here this year. The
thorough breds exhibited at New York are
not nearly Up to California. We have at
least six thorough preds here that could
easily have won first prizes in New York.
The New Workers were not IN it in the
matter of thoroughbreds.
"Of course there were more rigs in New
York than we shall be able to show, be-
cause there are so many more people there
to exhibit, but the select rigs of the New
Workers are no better than the select rigs
we have here. The exhibition OF ponies
there is no better than the one that
will be made here. The riders in New

There is no doubt that Mr.. Hobart will

enthusiasm which has actuated him.

The rivalry between Walter S. Hobart
and George A. Pope will excite curiosity
concerning their entries. Mr.. Pope will
exhibit Arlington, his chestnut gelding,
fifteen hands and two inches high, with
white heels, in all the double classes. He
is entered in the brougham class with his
mate, Arsenal, and also in single classes.
Mr.. Pope will also exhibit Sweetheart
and Surprise, each being sixteen hands
high, bay mare and geldlng, with white
heels respectively. They will be shown
in the brougham and other classes. Ar
lington and Arsenal won the first prize as
carriage horses at Long Branch last sum-
mer. Last year Sweetheart was shown
with Senator. Sweetheart won the first
prize at Long Branch last year in the park
class and also in the high-stepper single.
Gypsy Queen has never been shown YET
as a saddle horse. She is a promising
mare, six years old, and is entered i'll the
ladies' saddle class
Romulus and Remus, which won in San
Francisco last year, will be entered again
this year. This information is given by
Aleck Dillon, manager for Mr.. Pope.
The horses which Mr.. Hobart will show
have been previously mentioned in THE
CALL, but recapitulation is appropriate
in this connection.
Mr.. Hobart brought from the East
eighteen selected ponies, hackneys, coach
horses and hunters. One of the new
horses from the East is Paragon, a $500
brown horse 6.years old, over fifteen hands
and two inches high. Merry Boy is
another, Canadian bay gelding, years
old, fifteen hands and three inches high,
renowned as q hunter. Tadpole which
can take the hurdles in fine shape, is one
OF the Hobart entries. Other horses, new
to the San Francisco show, are Sultan and
Car, Frills and Spot and Lightfoot.

Grants Greatest Record for Cigars.

Hancock came to headquarters about
P. M.-(after the battle of the Wilder
ness)-and had conference with the
general-in chief and General Meade He
had had very busy day on his front, and
while he was CHEEKY, and showed that
there was still plenty of fight left in him,
he manifested signs OF fatigue after his
exhausting labors. General Grant, in offer
ing him cigar, found that only one was
left in his pocket. Deducting the number
he had given away from the supply he had
started out with in the morning showed
that he had smoked that day about
twenty, all very strong and of formidable
size. But it must sbe remembered that it
was a particularly long day.. He never
afterward equaled that record in the use
OF tobacco.-General Horace Porter in the
Century.

Interesting Washing.

An amusing little story is told i'll con-
nection with Il French journalist, who
i'll his early days as a reporter had Il
deeply rooted aversion to the regulation
notebook of his order, and hit upon "a
method of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction.
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them, by the aid Of tiny pencil,
he took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts of places, unobseryed by
those around him.
At first his laundress was greatly puz-
zled by these peculiar ornamentations,
but as time went ON she learned to de
cipher many Of them, and gathered the
news of the week from her patron S
cuffs, much to her delight.
One night when she took home the
washing, the journalist CHANGED to be
coming out of his room as she entered.
"Ah, monsieur, she said, dropping q
courtesy, your last washing was very
interesting. but we had less political
news than the week before. Is il not sou

Japan Up to Date.

Japan is going ahead. Its first big
swindle is really IA very creditable piece
of roguery for such young nation. Mr..
Hamano, the member of the diet and
pastor of the Greek church at Tokyo
who is also president of the Japan Cast
Iron company, belongs to poltico-re-
hgious type already familiar III the older
haunts of commercial morality. The
municipality of Tokyo had decided to
undertake waterworks system, and had
obtained a subsidy from the government
of 10, 600, 000 yen in aid of the total cs
innate of so, 600 600. In "a patriotic mo
ment some of this outlay of japanese
money ON water pipes was kept fer the
Japan Cast Iron company, hut the result
has only been to artificially foster for
eign rather than home industries
BY IA most ingenious device about 500
TONS of defective pipes were laid after
they had been rejected by the clerk of
the works, and the Tokyo citizens, it is
estimated, thereby suffer loss of about
1000. 600 yen
TIE officials of the company are how
awaiting trial-which apparently does
not prevent the newspapers III Japan
from assuming their guilt.-St. James
Gazette
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1896-02-27

The directors Of the Paris Grand Opera,
in answer to criticisms tn ., although
subsidized, they were producing foreign
instead of French works, recently drew
up il list by which they showed that
during the past 20 years they had
mounted 3S operas by Frenchnen and
only by foreigners, the two outsiders
being Wagner and Verdi. IL Maurel,
the Partisan critic, has now carried the
statistics back to the beginning of the
century.
Ii seems that the last generation Of
Franchmen were not so particular as tC
tie nationality Of musicians. From the
year 1900 down to the present time the
Paris Grand Opera has produced woIl k,
by 100 French and So foreign composers
On the other hand. it appears that only
5, 934 performances Of French operas
have during this period been given, as
against S, $40 representations of works
by foreign musicians. The French writer
laments that his compatriots preferred
foreign works, although i'll fairness iG
should be said that the list probably in
cludes the operas of Meyerbeer, Rossini
and other great masters of previous
generation, who, although not French
by birth, We're practically Partisan by
adoption. London News.

Old English Music.

Long before the stream of Norman
minstrel art sacred music was exercis
ing a beneficial influence. The early
British church possessed sacred music,
but this was gradually driven out before
the onward march of that new church
music which Augustine brought with
him from Rome "a. d. 500. The Gre
gorian music evolved by Pope Gregory
out of the Greek tetrachords and some
existing Ambrosian chants) was heard
and loved wherever Augustine and his
monks built a church. BY its means Il
deep impression was left upon the minds
of those who heard and joined in it, but
it is curious that we miss altogether the
ecclesiastical flavor in the earliest eX
amples that have come down to us of
English music during the first quarter
of the thirteenth century.
The free and uncontrolled secular mu-
sic was the first to reflect itself III per
manent manuscript form. Church music
per Sc was not progressive; the church
tones for the "service" and "mass mu-
sic were fixed, and only a heretieal of
