Horses of Royal Stable Taught Not to

Few lives in this world are watched
with such care as Queen Victoria's,
and those of the members of the royal
family. This is an old saying, but it.
Is particularly true in the case of; what
might be called automobilism, which
as yet is only a hobby in England. Still
steps have just been taken, to protect
her majesty from any danger while
driving through the use of automo-
biles. All the horses in the royal sta.
bic have been drilled in the presence
of an automobile. The horses In the
three stable yards at Windsor were
first led and then driven around asia
tionary car. Then the car was pro.
PEELED around the horses. Finally the
car was moved between the horses in
a dangerous way as they. stood: near
each other. The automobilist, finally
made the car as Objectionable as pos
sible. The horses were very amenable,
as they had already been, schooleti, TO-
