The Nashville Students.

The Nashville singers drew another
big house at Chopin hall last night, and
gave genuine satisfaction all the way
through. The general tenor of the
program was in the order of the last
concert, with theatrical scene as the
closing feature, the Hoof Dauce, it was
called. The bssso appeared in very
fair trim, notwithstanding he has
corner ON pneumonia, rheumatism and
asthma. Mckenzie was at his best and
Prof. Watkins specialties greatly
pleased the audience. The male quar-
tet imitation of the calliope proved q
stem winder and bad two recalls. The
autoharp duo also received two en-
cores, and the ventrilOQuist exhibition
captured the house. Mckenzie started
into singing "Mister johnson Turn Me
Loose, - but as he bad bse1 memoriz-
ing both that and ''There'n Be q Hot
Time in Old Town Tonight" he got
skewed up between the two as though
a folding bed had shut Up on him.
However, he was game, and pulled
through on the chorus all right. Mac
was warmly received all through, and
made hit as the slender, sylph and
delicate bet.er-half of Uncle 'Ras-
tus.

Be It known that he who has ridden
only on an English pigskin will find
that there are things he has no know1-
edge Of when first he throws leg over
the stock saddle of the west, and when
he has seen a broncho buster ride
bucking mustang on its native heath he
must admit that, although the cowboy
may be neither neat nor we'll hammered,
he could yet give points on rough rid
ing to those who follow the foxhounds.
As the cowboys mode Of riding is
distinctive, so is his horse furniture,
and it is admirably adapted to his par
ticular needs. The stock saddle, for in
stance. is as different from the English
bunting or park saddle as a park drag
is from q trotting sulky. Yet each is
perfectly suited to the purposes for
which it was designed. The stock sad.
die is Of Spanish American birth and
must be heavily built, sometimes 40
pounds in weight, in order to have the
requisite strength, for the high horn or
pommel is necessary to the cowboy in
all the uses Of the lariat, or "rope." as
It is now almost universally called, and
thus it is required to stand the most
sudden and severe strains. The rope is
very essential article of the COW
puncher's equipment. It is ordinarily
about 40 feet long and can be thrown
with accuracy perhaps 80 feet by the
average puncher, although some use it
effectively at distance of 10 or 10 feet
farther if its length is proportionately
greater. In catching stock or in hauling
anything, be it mired wagon. begged
steer or wood for the campfire. the rope
Is given double turn around the horn.
and the saddle must be strong indeed to
endure such work. Moreover, it must
be tightly girthed' over the heavy sad
die blankets, and this calls for the CUM
bersome cinch rigging. which in moss

that Horton had gone to DR.. johnson
to got some stryrhninc to kill crows.
and afterwards went back and asked
DR.. johnson not to give away the fact
of his getting the poison. At any rate
the matter will hc investigated in the
