A team Of spirited bay horses driven
by a sporty looking man with blond
whiskers reared and kicked nervously In
front Of Louis A. Bells stables, ON
Doughty avenue, Somerville. Mass, the
other day. The nervous actions Of the
team lasted only minute, and then 1t
started up the street with rapid, even
gate that was greeted with cheers by
humber Of admiring spectators. To the
uninformed observer the movements of
the team were very ordinary spectacle,
but to the driver and to the crowd Of en-
thusiastic horsemen present the exhibi-
tion was Of more significance than is
the first trial trip Of steel armored
cruiser to the shipbuilder. 1t was the
first attempt to drive In double harness
the two great horses John r. Gentry,
900 la, and Robert j, 2:01 1-2. Itwas
the first time that John r. Gentry had
ever been harnessed with mate. Some
years ago an attempt was made in Ken
lucky to drive Robert double, but the
result was disastrous. He did not take
kindly to his mate and smashed things
up generally. The experiment yesterday
was highly satisfactory to e. f. Bovine,
the driver and trainer Of the two famous
PAGERS.
The team was logged for five miles
over the country roads The horses man.
ifested a kindly disposition toward each
other and worked together in manner
that encourages Bovine to believe that,
as a team, they will beat the worlds
record during the coming season. John
r. Gentry is straight line PAGER, lift
ing his fore feet to the height Of his
knees, while Robert travels low, with
swinging gait This difference In
movement, it is NOW believed, will be
an advantage to the team in attaining
high rate of speed. The horses are Of
the same height, 151H, and are alike
in color. John r. Gentry now weighs
$50 pounds and Robert ] $50 pounds
The team, which is the property Of
Lewis g. Tewksbury and valued at $40,
900, will remain in training here until
March, when it will start on the grand
circuit, with the most complete equip
ment known to the turf. The horses
will travel in an elaborate and especial
ly designed private car and will be
stabbed on the turf in tent flying the
colors orange and black. The horses
have recently been measured by the cos
tuner and will receive horse clothing
for the season costing over 81, 900.

A SAGACiOUS ELEPHANT.
Some Good Stories Told Recently In q
London Courtroom.

Some Good Stories Told Recently In q
London Courtroom.
Some wonderful elephant stories were
told at London inquest recently about
the favorite beast known as Charley,
which had been in Sanger's circus 81
years. He killed his former keeper by
crushing his skull with tusk. The man
used to i'll treat the beast and was dis
charged about year ago. He was re-
Gently re-employed in another depart
ment of the show. He visited the ele-
plants quarters the other day to speak
to the keeper. Charley was eating his
supper. AS soon as he heard the man g
voice he turned, seized him with his
trunk, pushed him against the wall and
crushed his head with his tusk.
The owner Of the elephant testified
that there was no doubt that the animal
was paying an old grudge. Charley was
the kindest elephant he ever owned. He
had appeared at five lord mayors shows
and many Drury Lane pantomines. Mr..
Sanger added:
Elephants do not forget injuries or
kindnesses. remember several remark
able instances. On one occasion, when
I had been separated from an elephant
for two years, the elephant, on seeing
me, seized me round tho waist with his
trunk and would not let me 60 until he
had hugged and caressed me for long
time Tears Of pleasure ran down the
brute's cheeks.
"Some years ago a nephew Of mine,
a child Of 8, was playing around Charley
and climbing up his legs. Charley gen.
tly resented this, but the child contin-
ued. Charley then took the child up,
shook him gently and put him down
some yards away"
There were other testimonials to
Charley's sagacity, and the coroner's
jury was so impressed by his amiability
that they did not even criticise him for
killing his former keeper, but returned
a verdict Of accidental death,
