horses will all be here and in good

on high plane.
This will give Sacramento six weeks

they submitted a proposition to lease
the State course for a two-weeks' meet

Twenty years ago the writer, with
her 3-year-old child, was on her way to
Washington in midwinter. Instead OF
reaching that beautiful city early in the
morning, as was expected, the train was
stalled in the night by a terrible biz
zard. After the height Of the storm was
over it took hours TO dig away the heavy
snow that buried, not only the rails, but
the whole world apparently. Slowly
and labOriously the locomotive crept on,
and we were still 200 miles from Wash
ington when the church clock struck s
in a village where we halted. Men
jumped up TO see if there were time TO
get q cup Of coffee; nervous and anxious
women clam0red for tea, and 1 cried
with the rest, "Oh, if only 1 could get
q glass Of milk for my little girl 70 "Im-
possible" " said the brakeman, who was
passing through the car; "we shan't be
here but a minute.
Paying no heed to his words, a gen.
tleman Of striking appearance, whose
fine face and head I had been silently
studying, hurriedly left the car and dis
appeared upon the snowy platform.
He'll get left, - sneered the brakeman.
The train moved on, feeling its way
through the huge white banks on both
sides. The gentleman had evidently
been travelling alone, for no one seemed
anxious because he did not come back
The cars were hardly in full swing,
however, when he jumped aboard, a lit.
tie out of breath, busted with snow, but
self possessed and calm, holding care
fully a tall glass of milk, which he gave
to the wee girl beside me. My stam-

replied, settling himself into his seat,
paying no more attention to us. But
later in the course of the dreary fore
noon he motioned to the little lass to
come to him, which she willingly did.
He lifted her to his side, and with his
arm round her she cuddled up against
him, and for two hours he whispered

else could hear, but the delight OF which

Hadrian.s WalI.

Hadriau, in A. d. 1870, built a stone
wall from Bowness, near Carlisle, on
Solway firth, to the river Tyne, near
Newcastle. It was so miles long and
garrisoned by 10, 900 troops. It was
from 10 TO 20 feet high at various
points, feet thick at the top and was
provided with a gallery in the rear,
which enabled its defenders to take
their stand with only head and shoul-
ders visible TO the enemy. At every
guarter of a mile there was castle
with a garrison Of troops. Beacon lights
ynd signals were used, and on an at
tack, whether by day or by night, the
news was at once flashed up and down
the wall from sea to sea.
