noses and tails put up for saloons
This is where both ends of the hog
meets.
Well, that Is about all we can see
here. Let us go down and refresh
ourselves at the lemonade tank, that I
mentioned heretofore. I
We thanked our guide for his kind
ness and left him jollying one of the
walters. To the horse mant we went
to see them auction off horses, buggies
and harness Of every conceivable shape
and size. Here is black horse, heavy
maine and tail, fat as a pig, and
weighs 1850 pounds, guaranteed sound
as a dollar, but is 13 years old, and
has been a family pet all these years,
but must be sold as the widow who
owns it is going abroad. Forty dol
lars am bid-s45. j have SAT. Who
will give $50? Sold for SAT. This
beautiful buggy goes with the morse.
1t cost S475 last spring. 1t is a beau
ty. One hundred I am bid. Sold for
Sis. Here is your harness, cost 500
last April, and is as good as new.
Sold for $15." This was sample of
how things went. The buggy was
beauty, like George Kohler's, but was
elegantly carved, and had broadcloth
cushions eight inches deep. Thirty
horses are sold every hour here, and all
horse millinery. Among the onlook-
ers saw Judge Tibbals, Eli Smith and
j. A. p. Whitney, of Akron.
Thursday the Grand Army was given
an excursion free to Milwaukee on a
whale-bac steamer and a ride down
the drainage canal A great number
took advantage of this pleasure trip.
There was a bicycle race between G.
A. r. men. Commander Smith of
Memorial Post, 141, Cleveland, won
second prize. A sham battle with
thousands to view it, on the lake front,
was one of the attractive features.
Friday we went to Lincoln Park,
one of the largest in the city. There
are numerous other smaller breathing
places, but Lincoln Park contains more
than thousand acres, am told. AS
you enter the park from the south,
standing a few hundred feet away,
you see the statue of the immortal
Lincoln. North from there is the
equestrian statue of Gen. U. s. Grant.
These are the only true monuments of
soldiers and statesmen that l saw.
There We're poets, prose writers, the
writers of fiction, and others, % in
all. Two monuments were erected in
of the red man of
the forest, whose heroism held back
for time the onward march of the
Anglo Saxon race and civilization.
There were live animals from the
mouse to the elephant; camels, bears,
ions, tigers, wolves, dogs, cats, chick,
,ns and ducks. Noah's ark when the
storm abated was no comparison to
his grand outward march of animals.
There was the hall of science contain,
ng stuffed animals, birds, snakes.
,ugs, and every animal known to man.
