CURIOUS SORT OF REnU1TAL.
Officer Robbins Stopped a Runaway at Risk
of His Lie and Was Snulhed for L.

The troubles of Officer Robbins are
many and grievous. He is not only
sore physically, but his feelings have
been hurt, too. He is mad and no one
can blame him.
Last evening While on WASHINGTON
,, avenue between Thrty-first and Thir-
tS-second streets, the officer, than whom
lhefe IS no pluckier on the force, spied
d morse running up the avenue at a
breakneck speed. The horse was at
tachcd to vehicle, in which were seat
ed four ladies'
The horse seemed completely beyond
control If it was not beyond control
the ladies were driving a great deal
raster than the ordinances of the CITY
permit.
Officer Robbins dashed out into the
avenue and ait the risk Of his life grab
bed at the horses head He missed
the brlule, but succeeded in snatchine
the reins and jerking the frightened
amman TO a standstill; but in doing so
ne became entangled in the wheels of
the cart and was thrown down. The
Vehlcle with its load passed over him.
bTulslng him badly and dragging him
some DISTANCE. What hurt the officer
most was when he got up the lady who
A'''A oSSil ui4FlLS. instead OF thanking
him for his gallant act, tossed her head.
and saying, Give me the reins; I can
manage this horse whipped the ami
! NAL mp and disappeared around into
Ihir'ty-second street without SO much
as a goodbye, leaving the officer stand
ing in the street speechless with amaze
ment.
He does not know who the ladies
We're, but he would like to. and the
next time ne sees their horses running
away he will let them break their pre-
cious necks.
There were a number of witnesses 10
the runaway, which was caused by the
horse becoming frightened at Il street
car. All who saw the affair say that
the officer was treated outrageously.
and criticise the behavior Of the occu-
pants Of the vehicle in no very compli-
mentary terms.
Officer Robbins injuries. While not
serious, are painful He had the skin
nearly all scrapcu off one arm and one
leg and was otherwise bruised IN bad
~. His uniform was almost completely
ruined it Was torn so badly, and the
leather on his club was nearly sc-;pcd
from the iron while he was being dr.c
ged under the cart
Yet all the thanks he received was =
snub. He. as well as the rest of the
ponce force. are Very Indignant abou :
INC matter and an cff3rt will be made

SHEEP DOGS INTELLIGENCE.
Some Interesting Experiments Per.
formed Mt the Trials OF
the ColIics.

Since the introduction of sheep-dog
trials in Wales and England, this high
ly interesting and instructive sport is
fine day it would indeed be difficult to
find more interesting sight than the
highly trained shepherds dog, or col:
lie, working the little flock of three OF
the widest sheep over the course in u
most wonderful manner. The friendli-
ness and jovial good-humor of the own
ers of dogs toward one another are in
marked contrast, to the jealousies so
often present at sporting meetings.
added to which the fresh air. healthy
surroundings and gay throngs go to
make thorough days enjoyment.
The shepherd working the dog
stands at the post, from which he is
not allowed to move more than six
yards. At a given signal three sheep
are liberated from the pen; the shep-
herd then sends his dog to the sheep,
which IRE to be driven in the direction
indicated by the arrows and between
the hurdles; if any of the sheep go out
side the hurdles the dog must bring
them back and take them the proper
course, to the triangular pen of three
hurdles, which has an opening Of 22
inches, or just wide enough to allow one
| sheep to enter at time; he has then to
pen them, the time allowed being 10
minutes from the time the three sheep
are first liberated The worker of the
| dog is allowed to assist, without, how
ever, touching the sheep when the dog
has brought them up to the pen. The
shepherd works the dog almost entire
ly by whistling or motions. Often the
sheep separate at the commencement:
| the dog has then to bring them to-
| gether and start with his charge at the
| proper place. The competitor NAV be
successful in driving his three sheep UP
| to the pen at the end of the trial; he
has then had most difficult task, and
the utmost patience and skill are then
required, us only one sheep can enter
| at time, and the other two will often
! go outside the pen. It is then the dogs
| sagacity is shown. He will crawl on
| his belly like a cat, and quietly drive
| them inch by inch until he gets then,
in the opening and the three jostled into
| the pen.
Another innovation has lately been
| introduced at some trials. The shep-
herd marks three sheep, which arc
| driven among a flock of about a hun
dred or more. The dog has then to
lind the marked sheep and bring them
from among the others, which lie does,
showing wonderful sagacity and intel.
ligence in doing so.
In training collies, the young dogs are
generally taught by accompanying old
dogs Months of patient toll arc re-
CURED to fit them to compete at trials
successfully The young dog is very
wild and apt TO overrun the sheep, in
which case the shepherd often has to
I devise means to hold him in check,
which he does by tying up one of his
front paws with his pocket handler-
chief around the dogs neck, thus leav-
ing the dog only three legs to run on,
and 1T is surprising how soon the dog
understands its meaning. ~ Ludsate
