TORTURING HORSES FOR STYLE.
New York Swells Must Have Prancing
SteedS,

The agents and officers of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
were particularly active yesterday in
the neighborhood of the horse show
irving to detect the drivers and owners
of horses to which burrs, torture
strings and other illegal devices had
been attached in order to make the an
imals have a spirited and dashing APP
pearance These officials in the last two
days have confscated at least two dozen
burrs, and have them properly labeled
in the offices of the society, at Twenty
sixth street and Madison avenue.
Stylish looking equipages to which
were attached prancng horses We're
closely examined as the turnouts
stopped in front of Madison Square
Garden to allow the occupants of the We
hice to enter the horse show. Burrs
were taken yesterday from several
horses, which, according to the drivers
in charge, belonged to people more or
less we'll known in the social and bust
ness circles of the city, one particularly
vicious pair being found on the horse
of Elbridge T. Gerry, founder of the
Society for Prevention of Cruelty te
Children.
Most of the IS sets of burrs now in
the society's rooms are studded with
with rough ends, and another brass
screw points.The bristle burrs seized on
Tuesday from the horses of Elbridge T
Gerry are matted on the inside with
partially masticated oats, showing that
they were ciapped on before the ami
mails had entirely finished eating. The
coachman told the society agent that
Mr.. Gerry was not aware that burr bits
! were used on his horses. Mr.. Gerry
confirmed this today.
ANY burrs that were taken off my
horse" he said, "were placed there
without my knowledge or approval I
forbade their use in my stable long
! ago.
! In speaking of the present crusade,
Mr.. Hankinson said yesterday after
noon:
I'VE have removed about % burrs
from horses mouths during the last two
! days, and will continue the work until
this unnecessary and cruel practice has
been stamped out in this city. 1t is
merely done for show and to deceive the
| general public as to the real value Or
| mettle of the animals. One of the most
| cruel devices we captured in front OF the
| Garden about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
| and promptly relieved the animal from
! pain as far as possible. The device was
even more cruel and cowardly than the
burr" said Mr.. Hankinson, as he
showed a piece of ordinary shoestring
about foot in length. This piece of
| string had been fastened to one side of
the bit and then wrapped around the
tongue of the horse. 1t looked like the
work of a cowardly groom, who was
either afraid his horse would run away
with him or too lazy to hold on to
the rains and keep his horse under con-
troll. The horse was a pitiful object
when we saw him, and when the nipple.
ment of torture had been removed the

with almost human intelligence. as II he
wished to thank him for the relief. The

size of mans Sst, and the circulation

the round. Then came the most refresh

and that l was determined to make

A special from San Francisco to The
Inter Mountain says:
Perry Queenan packed up his five
trunks and departed for the Puget Sound
country the day after his fight with Jack
OBrien at Sacramento. Queenan is to
box Dick Case. a very tough Queens
bury customer, at Seattle. on the night
of December ). The weight is to be 1S9
pounds at 3 o'clock and the fighters are
to get 65 per cent of the gross gate re-
ceipts, of which the winner is to take
IS per cent Queenan will do his train

Larry Gleason. Chicago fighter of some
note. w. F. Robb. prominent business
man of Seattle, will act as Queenan's
manager While Perry is in the north,
Queenan's present manager, Blddy
Bishop, is too i'll to accompany him north
AS Case is a local man and well liked up
there the fight will attract big crowd.
1t is believed that large crowd from
Tacoma will go over to see the fight. I'M
mediately after the contest with Case.
Queenan and Gleason will go to British
Columbia, where Perry is billed to fight
on December 10th. His opponent Will be
Montana champion. He Will then come

to meet any man in his class late this
month. A trip to Australia is also on
the books for Mr.. Queenan. This Will
come off soon, as his manager is we'll

nothing to distinguish himself. The same
may be said of the earl of Dudley. He

to Rachel Quincy, the daughter of
Charles Quincy. The title of Dudley is
derived from the castle of that name and
has been held by the family of Ward
