rives in New York,
The arrival OF the steamer Mauitobar
at the Pennsylvania railroad stock yards
in Jersey City, caused an anueua
amount Of excitement the other day
Never before had any vessel brought t
the port more interesting cargo OF liv
ing freight than that which the Mani
toban landed. On board the big vessel
which left Alien, Norway, Feb. IA, were
ia Laplanders and Firms, men, women
aud children, together with 537 reindeer,
420 sleds, over 500 sets Of harness, and
$500 bags of moss, with which the deer
are fed This motley group constituted
the government relief expedition to
Klondike sufferers, and they all arrived
safely after voyage 20 days.
ALI the Laplanders and many OF the
Firms were dressed in clumsy fur cloth
ing and peculiar headgear OF the Arctic
regions. Every one of them We'd with
the others in wearing bright colored
ribbons. Crimson, yellow aud green
predominated, while purple, blue or
orange and other fiashy colors were
everywhere in evidence. 1t has been
decided to give the deer rest of day
before starting them on their long jour
ney west. They will be under the care
OF the Laps and will be permitted to roam
about the stock yards.
Each one OF the party has some par.
ticular hobby, but all the men can
handle the little gray colored animals,
the reindeer, on which they depend so
much. These animals were locked in
wooden stalls, which were erected after
the main deck and below decks. There
were six or eight In each stall, and every
one Of them had been dehorned, that
they might not injure each other in
transit. The reindeer were let out into
the open yards where they nlayiully
frisked about, watched carefully by their
drivers.
