MAJOR EDWIN BRAND.

and Governor Tanner. There is talk of
concluding the parade with an exhibit
tion of fancy horsemanship and eques-
trian gymnastics in the ground of the
Washington Park club, with perhaps a
banquet in the evening. The officers
and committees of the association are
hard at work on the programme and are
very enthusiastic about the prospects of
a large turnout. They estimate that at
least 1, 500 riders will be in line.
In the meantime Chicagoans, at least
such as ride on horseback, are excitedly
discussing the question of what is good
form in the attire of a male equestrian.
Chicago has suddenly realized that her
horseback riders are not always appro-
priateIy attired. Some of them even
have the audacity to appear mounted in
the park wearing frock coats. Chicago
draws the line at frock coats on horse
back.
But this by no means disposes of the
question. To decide that tails should
accompany the coat of the equestrian
and leave him to incase his lower linn BIS
as suits his fancy leaves too wide lat
itude. Chicago has not yet reached the
point where it is willing to accept the de
rigueur English breeches and leggings,
the breeches which are built in bloom
erlike amplitude at the hips and taper
to skin tightness at the knee. New
Workers adopted this dress some two or
three horse shows back, but Chicago
still looks at them askance. Some Chi
cagoans wear riding boots, others long
trousers and leggings, while others are
content with plain trousers strapped
down.
Then there is the matter of saddles to
be considered. Texas and Mcclellan
saddles are acknowledged to be- very
comfortable, but the Chicago horsemen
who pretend to know say that they are
not just the think for park use. Saddle
blankets are frowned upon also, and
those riders who have been congratu-
lating themselves upon the possession
of fancy white brides will be panied to
learn that they smack too much of the
CIRCUS ring to be approved by men who
know what is what.
OF course the equestrians who belong
to military bodies and wear the pre-
scribed uniforms are not troubled by
these considerations of form, but the
riding clubs as a rule have adopted no
distinctive costumes, and their various
members have been accustomed to ap-
pear IN all sorts of heterogeneous and oc-
casionally fantastic apparel. The parade
will doubtless prove an object lesson to
all riders, and it would not be surpris-
ing If by another year the Chicago
equestrians should adopt the English
costume complete, even down to the
horn handled riding crop with the raw
hide loop in the end for unlatching sup
positions gates. Q. J. BOWDEN. i.

CulIom, then senator, to the United
States senate. This was a most turbu-
lent session, and Mr.. Calhoun then de-
termined never again to be a candidate
for mem bership in that body. Later he
was elected state attorney for his
county, but resigned before serving out
his full term in order to devote himself
to his private practice, which had
grown to be a most lucrative one.
The district of which Vermilion
county is a part is overwhelmingly Re
publican, but there are two factions of
the party, and for many years one has
been led by Congressman Cannon and
the other by Mr.. Calhoun. There have
been many clashes between the two
wings, but none more fierce than before
the last national convention, when Cal
houn secured Mckinley instructions for
the delegates.

toric age, yet none of them can deter

originally came. 1t is surmised that it
was once a part of the earth's crust in
a region near the north pole and now
buried underneath thousands of feet of
never melting ice.
Borne on the bosom of some great
foe, this great bowIder must have drift
ed down across the country during the
glacial era and have been deposited
where it now rests. Some parts of its
surface are as smooth as if polished by
human agency, while others show grooves
of fantastic shape, as if they had been
cut by some prilnevaI worker in stone.
This, the biologists say, was done by
glacial influences before it found its
final resting place.
The bowlder stands on land now
owned by Alexander Atkinson, but a
bill has been proposed in the Connect
cut legislature authorizing the purchase
Of the bowIder by the state so that it
may be made more accessible to tourists.

The Commissioned to Cuba a Lifelong
Friend of the President.
William J. Calhoun, who has been
selected by President Mckinley to visit
Cuba as a special commissioner to in
vestigate the case OF Dr.. Ruiz, is one of
the most prominent lawyers in eastern
Illinois and a Republican leader in YER
million county. He has been known to
Mr.. Mckinley from boyhood and was a
schoelboy chum of Abner Mckinley, the
presidents brother.
Mr.. Calhoun was born in Pittsburg
in 1S48 and was left an orphan at an
early age. He removed to Poland, O.,
when but II years old and worked on
farm near the Mckinley home. He at
tended the local academy with Abner
Mckinley and was almost made one of
the family by the latter's mother. He
knew the president when Mckinley was
young lawyer fresh from the army.
In 1869 Mr.. Calhoun moved to Arco-
la, Ills, where he managed farm for
his uncle for several years. Four years
later he went to Danville and began to
read law. He was admitted to the bar
in 1876 and soon built up an extensive
practice. He is attorney for several in
situations and corporations and is gener-
al attorney for the Eastern Illinois rail-
road.

gan in 1884, when he was elected
member of the Illinois legislature. Dur

An EQUESTRIAN DAY
MoVEMENT IN CHICAGO FOR A RE-
NAIssANCE OF HORSEBACK RIDING.

On June IA q Gay 0svalcads VIII Parade
That 1900 Riders VIII Participate.
Equestrian Day an Annual Affair.
Chicago has a new holiday. Tt is called
Equestrian day, and this year comes on
June 4. 1t is just what it appears to
be-a day for equestrians. Its chief fea-
ture will be a parade of equestrians, and
it is expected that every horseman and
hOrsewoman in the city will participate.
There is no section of the country where
a holiday is celebrated in exactly this
manner, although New England's now
abandoned fast day used to be observed,
half a dozen years ago, by an unusual
indulgence in horseback riding.
The New England equestrians did
their riding in unerganized squads and
enjoyed themselves by cantering up and
down the streets at the best speed to
which their animals could be urged.
This brought fast day into disrepute,
and its abOlishment spoiled their fun.
Chicago's Equestrian day, however, Will
be observed according to a fixed pro-
gramme arranged by we'll organized
association which goes by the name of
the Equestrian Day association. It was
formed a little more than year ago,
and much of the credit for it's existence
is given to Major Edwin L. Brand of
the Hussar squadron.
The first parade was held last June,
and it was something Of a failure be-
cause of an unexpected rain storm
which drenched the riders. Better
weather conditions are hoped for this
year. The association is composed Of 10
divisions. Eight of these consist of pri-
vate riding clubs, and the other are
mounted military organizations. There
are the Chicago, the Centaur, the Re-
we're, the Union Stockyards, the Boule-
ward, the Garfield, the Lincoln Park
and the Germania Reit riding clubs.
Then there are Troops A and B of the
Hussar squadron, Troops A and B of the
Illinois national guard and the Chicago
Light cavalry.
Each of these bodies elects represent
atives as members of the Equestrian
Day association, and unattached riders
may become members if elected by the
board of trustees. The main object of
the organization is to foster the sport
and pave the way for the complete re-
naissance of horseback riding.
This year the parade will probably
start from the Auditorium and will
conclude in one of the South Side parks.
1t will be reviewed by Mayor Harrison

Ten Thousand Tons.
In Connecticut, midway between
New London and Norwich, is a huge
bowIder which is one of the largest, if
not the very largest, to be found any
where in the country. Its summit is rs
feet above the ground, and its total
length is 80 feet. It is estimated that
this rock contains about 20, 600 cubic
feet of stone and weighs 10, 900 tons.
Tt rests on the summit of hill which
slopes gracefully down to the river
Thames, and it looks as if it might have
been tossed there by some playful Titan
standing in the valley below. The COM
position of the rock is totally unlike
that of any other stone found in Con-
necticut or any other part of the coun-
try. Biologists have studied it, and,
