HoRsEsHoERs OF ALL SORTS.
Display in Chicago That Is Diverse
and Unique in Its Character.

From the Chicago Tribune.
In show window on State street a
unique display has been attracting crowds
from morning until night. The usual con-
tents of the window are of an artistic ma
ture, and form an effective background
for most interesting collection of horse
shoes dating back to the seventeenth cen
fury. There have evidently been great
changes in this common article, and to
horsemen, especially, the history of the
horseshoe must be interesting, while to the
casual observer it is amusing. There is
one collection which includes the shoes of
all of the winners in the English derby,
with their colors tied on to the shoes, and
all mounted together on a plaque This
makes a central figure, around which are
scattered in most effective contrast the
oldest and the most modern in wild confu-
sion, showing the great differences in the
shapes and sizes of shoes in the various
countries, even in the same epochs, and de-
signed for the best help to the horse in va
rious soils and for various purposes
The great wooden blocks, with iron balls,
which lit over the ordinary shoe of the
horses which are driven across the boys
of Ireland, are almost as immense as a
snoWshoe or the ski of the northern coun-
tries, and must be as effective in keeping
dangerous boys of the Emerald Isle. Some
smaller shoes from Kilkenny, and which
are seYenty-tive years old, are a s evidently
intended for billy roads. In close contrast
20 these unique shoes lie the silvered shoes
which have been used on Grover CleVe-
lands driving horses, while in the most as
tonishing contrast are the great heavy
shoes of the draft horses on the streets of
Liverpool in 1890, which look as if no living
horse could carry one, to say nothing of
mense, being at least an inch long across
of the same dimen sions with crosscalk.
large, in comparison, with u great square
head. Close 10 this lies the dainty, thin,
almost solid plate which the Arabian horse
wears on its slender foot. The shoe, with
out nails but with rings hung to small
rings, which are part of the shoe, in the
lower ends of the shoe, and with a hinged
ring which clamps upward and is bound
to the foot of a horse by a band brought
through the rings, like an anklet, is
equally unique and the shoe which is
made for snow climbing has great calks
the size of railroad spikes.
In this collection the modern shoes will

WIRE NAIL COMBINE.
The Gentlemen in the Deal Issue Il
Statement to the Public.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The gentlemen who
are engaged in organizing a combina-
tion Of the ire-manufacturing interests
OF the country have issued the following
explanation of the enterprise and have
asked the Associated Press to send 1t to
the newspapers:
with the view Of largely increasing the
export rade in wire, wire nails and other
products, and also materially reducing the
cost of their manufacture and sale, GER
tain gentlemen, who for many years have
been Identified with and successful in the
business have after a careful study of the
situation. decided to organize a new cor
poraton which will Immediately engage
in these lines and will also acquire, by
purchase, the properties of the leading
manufacturers of wire throughout
the United States. The new
corporation has not yet been organized,
hut steps Will soon be taken for that
purpose. The amount of the capital stock
viii be sufficient to pay for the property
to be acquired. and also to furnish ample
funds for doing the business.
After negotiations covering a period OF
IL any HlyutIiSs Arrangements nave been
made with the owners of the largest ana
most prominent plants for the purchase
of their properties, including the lands,
buildings, machinery and patents al prices
which are considered reasonable, but
which are subject to examination and YER
lHcation by expert mechanical engineers
and accountants
Three of the most competent engineers
have been selected, and are now examin-
ing the different plants; and one of the
largest and best known houses of expert
accountants in Europe and America are
now examining the books and auditing the
accounts of the different companies for
the purpose of accurately determining
their earning capacity. The prices to be
paid by the new company will largely
depend upon the reports of these experts,
but it is believed they will fully justify
the prices which have already been nam
ed.
So soon as the reports have been made
and the prices fixed and the titles exam
med, the purchases win be closed and
business commenced by the new company.
A large portion OF the capital stock of the
new company will be subscribed by those
who are now actively engaged in the bust
ness, and who will be per-
sonally connected with the man
agement. Arrangements will be made
with Messrs. j. p. Morgan & Co. to I'M
derwrite the bonds so that in all contin-
gencies the necessary capital shall be
forthcoming.
1t is not proposed to antagonize the in
terests of any other manufacturers in any
respect, nor to increase the manufacture
of steel billets, nor is il likely to increase
prices to the consumer. The new com
pany will be managed on an economical
basis, ana it is expected that a large in
crease in the manufacture and trade
viii cheaper production and result in fair
profits. There is no doubt the United
States can obtain and hold the enormous
foreign trade now enjoyed by some of the
foreign countries, but this can be done
only by manufacturing in union and on
such a large scale as win reduce the cost
of production"
