day The animals were all good stock,
some of them being fresh cows.
The animals had been feeding on corn
stalks for some time. They fed on the
dry stalks without injury, but as soon
as the rain set in, the trouble began.
The water sweetens the stalk; then
the sweetened juice sours in the ami
mails stomach soon after eating. This
causes a fermentation and a consequent
forming OF gas, which soon causes
death.

practice almost nightly, and he has
brought the members to a good stand

don's hearty pageant known as the
Lord Mayors procession has not been
given in a long time, due very largely
to the conspicuously brilliant year If
office the retiring chief magistrate, Sir
George Faudel-Phillips, has had.
The procession passed through dense
masses Of cheering people, while Win
dows, balconies and roofs were very
generally utilized, and the larger open
places, such as Trafalgar Square, were
crowded TO their utmost capacity.
AT the law courts the usual solemn
courtesies were exchanged, the Lord
Mayor, in exercise Of an immemorial
right, remaining covered while the Re
corder read an eulogistic review Of the
new Lord Mayors career
From this court, after the retiring
Lord Mayor had been formally pre-
sented to the Judges, the procession
went to the Court of Appeals, and was
received by the Master of the Rolls,
and the Appeal Judges, attired in their
robes of black and gold. The cere-
monies here were merely formal The
dignitalies then returned to their
coaches, and resumed the march to the
city.
