WANTS LAW ENDORSED.
Appeal by Humane Society to District
commissioners.

At a meeting of the executive committee
Of the Washington Humane Society. held
recently, a paper presented by Mrs. Cram
mond Kennedy was unanimously approved
and copy sent to the Commissioners, the
paper being in substance as follows:
The Humane Society has long consid-
cred how TO rid the streets of the forlorn
brOken-down horses staggering along in the
Shafts of ash carts, equally dilapidated
which are a disgrace to a civilized city
We are called upon constantly to explain
to visitors why the law permits such
wrctched SpectaCleS here, while in other
cities system of inspection prevents the
selling of horses under a certain grade
Peculiar conditions exist here. The col
ored people flock into the city from the sur
rounding country seeking easier employ
ment than that of tilIing the soil, and as
horses can be bought for from 81 up the
ash business proves very attractive To
supply this demand carloads of WORKOUT
horses are shipped here from MARYLAND and
virginia Many of these animals are drug
ged TO Keep them upon their feet until they
can be sold to men who, knowing they
cannot last long, get all the work they
can out of them with the least outlay for
1000 When our agent arrests an owner
OF one of these horses and brings him into
court he pleads that the horse is the onlv
support of his family. This problem con-
fronts the judge of the Police Court every
case thinking it a smaller matter If an old
horse should suffer than that a family
should become charge to the community
We know, however. that when finally the
horse drops, unable to rise. and his life is
mercifuny ended by our agent, the man
buys another 10 go through the same ror-
tine.
The remedy for this condition of things
Is not easy, under the circumstances but
something should at least be attempted to
prevent the daily spectacle of the breaking
OF the law for the prevention of cruelty to
animals. If every ash cart We're licensed
and numbered in conspicuous manner, 1t
would facilitate our work, as by reference
10 the license record the homes of owners
or such horses could be found and the
, housing and feeding of the animals exam
med into. This inspection would keep those
who were not willing to be amenable to
the law cut of the ash business and fewer
81 to 81 horses would be sold.
we are quite aware that licensing is q
slow method of accomplishing our object
but when we ask for inspectors at the horse
markets We are told that would be inter-
| fering with a regular business AS a So
ciety Tor the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails we feel that 1t is quite within our
| rights TO ask the government of the Dis
| trlcl 10 aid us in having the law enforced"

THE MANASSAS HORSE SHOW

THE MANASSAS HORSE SHOW.
The Prince William Horse Show
closed at Manassas yesterday after
successful run of two days.
There were at least $500 persons
present at Yesterdays meeting. They
came from many sections of the State
and from many points in adjoining
States. The grandstand presented a
pretty scene. The exquisite millinery
OF the fair sex set oil plcturesquely the
negligee costumes of the horsemen.
Too much credit for this success Can
not be given G. a. Heineken, the
president of the association, and the
other oticers-Robert PortDer, w. 4.
Buckley, J. w. Prescott, A. G. Clap
man, j. Jenkyn Davies and Thomas II
Lion. The board of directors was also
praised for its efficient preparation for
the exhibition.
G. G. West, of Baltimore, came of
with the honors again yesterday, his
black gelding, four. year-old Arthur,
winning the blue ribbon in the Green
Hunters contest, and his beautiful
City Sport and Lorraine securing tie
first prize for high steppers. The vic
tory of Leap Year in the high jump
was exceedingly popular, as was also
that OF Corneille in the heavyweigl t
hunters.
The jumping contests passed of with
| out any very serious mshaps, although
one of the riders was thrown over the
hurdle and his left foot injured.
Another horse knocked the hurdle
down, and the rider under it, but he
pluckily mounted again and rode the
| contest through.
