for Exercise, Plays Some Franks.
The friends Of "Oll Pat" the superannuated
fire horse, reported to be in decrepit condi-
tion. made numerous calls at his stall in the
patrol house yesterday. Emphatic protests
were made against any entertainment Of the
Idea of putting the old fellow quietly out
Of the world, and out of his misery. All
sorts of prescriptions were kindly offered,
and one of the most sensible of the number
was followed. 1t was to take the war horse
out for a little exercise which was to be
followed by good, healthy doses of the same
treatment each day. One of the kind
hearted members OF the sewer gang was
called in to administer the medicine. The
old horse seemed to be aware of what was
contemplated, and took a deep and intell-
gent interest in the proceedings, His halter
was united, and he permitted himself to be
led with the sedate behavior of the veteran.

crisp wintry air he suddenly remembered

his heels went into the air to height that

feet above the street pavement. This evou-
ton was followed by series OF the most
cotish prauks that ever made 1t interesting
for healthy stable hand. Pat is a power
full horse, nearly as large as a circus ele-
phant. He knew his strength, and used II
to such good effect that the man at the other
end of the halter was given more real exer-
else in five minutes than he had previously
had in month. The old horse ended 1t all
by bold attempt at a playful runaway.
The man held ON to the halter, and Pat took
him on tour around the city Somewhere
down on Lower Main street the old fellow
had worked off portion of his surplus
energy, and then quietly led the man back
to the comfortable stall in the patrol house.
Old Pat will not be hauled to the boneyard
for several years yet unless he becomes too
coltish and meets an accident

Wants Contract Enforced.

At a previous term of the district court
| some of the troubles of the United States
Masonic Benevolent association were made
public in petition filed by j. w. j. Jameson,
tho former secretary of the company, to en-
force the fulnllment of a contract which he
claimed to have had with the company. The
contract was rather a peculiar one and at
the time created a good deal of interest.
The petition alleged that when the other
officers sought to dispense with the services
of Secretary Jameson, they offered him a
consideration IL he would resign.
This proposition finally took the
form of the contract alluded to. Jameson
resigned. but the company soon got into
financial straits, and the promised money was
not all paid. and Jameson, in the course of
time. brought suit to recover. The answers
of the defendant company and its officers to
his petition were filed yesterday. Secretary
John II, Richardson and President Fred II.
Brown filed separate answers in their own
names and another in the name OF the
company. The defendants deny the allega-
tions and contend that If there ever existed
such a contract as alleged, Jameson de-
stroyed 1t by violating its provisions and
conditions. The case is set for trial at the
present term of the district court

FAULT LIES IN THE TRAINING.


President Eliot Criticises Conduct of
Athletics at Harvard.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 2S.-President
Eliot's annual report was made public to-
day, and as usual, is replete with interest
ing data and observations on the progress
of the Harvard university the past year.
Speaking OF athletics he says 1.-THE con-
duct of intercollegiate sports during the
past year has proved afresh that the manage
ment Of these sports at Harvard has been
for years uniEtelligent, and for that reason
unsuccessful. The evils of oveItraining and
excessive exertion on the part of the mem
bers OF the principal teams were exhibited
in high degree. A fundamental defect in the
athletic organization has been that coaches
OF limited experience, who may be either
unobseryant or o5tnse, can oyerrids on the
spot the advice of the trainer and physicians
The result is that the principal players of
foot ball are almost all more or less injured
early in the season and are then brought
into the principal games in a crippled condi-
ton, while the crew comes to the first race
less capable of endurance than they were
month earlier. The remedies arG the sub
ordination of coaches to an expert In train
Ing or to medical advise" and the general
adoption of more reasonable ideas about
training"
Outside of President Eliot's criticism of
athletics perhaps the most striking thing In
his report is the glowing tribute which he
pays TO Louis AgassiZ. 1t is in part: sc
Will be thirty years next September since
Louis Agassiz was elected professor in Har-
