A JOCKEYS SENSATIONS.
One of Them Tells How He Feels
when Riding Down the
Home stretch.

"If you ride with your head down
that is to say, bent slightly, so that
the wind does not beat right on 10
your face-you can breathe easily, but
II you hold your mouth wide open and
let the air beat right in your face,
then you win have great difficulty in
breathing, and II the race is long
one you will become exhausted by the
end of the ride" So said a well-known
jockey when questioned on the subject
of what his sensations were when
riding in race, relates the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
"a mile race on a good horse is run
in about 1:40.
"A mile in 1:40 is at the rate Of 80
miles an hour, so, you see, race
horse travels at train speed.
IF you want TO know how IL feels
to go through the air at race horse
speed, just hang your head out of
railway carriage window, turning
your face toward the way the train is
travelling.
"At the same time imagine that you
are sitting in a saddle and have to
hold on to your horse and guide him
on to victory, if possible, keeping him
from being run down or interfered
with.
1T is no easy task TO ride a horse
in a race. The jockey must have ali
his wits about him. He does not have
much time to think how he feels.
When riding in a neck-and-neck race
down the home stretch ! forget ev-
erything except that | must strain
every nerve TO pass the other horses;
no thought is then given to the
plaudits from the grand stand"

Eating Railway Iron.

Iron for the blood has evidently been
prescribed for the quails of Florida: at

Runnymede. The report, which is wei

quails with swallowing the rails, bat
it does say that they pick away their

spot where they are loosened. From
several points in the state comes the
report of holes found in steel rails. and

rusty spot starts and is picked out il

HARD WINTER is COMING.
Experienced woodsmen See Certain
Indications of an Unusually
severe Season.

"All the signs in the woods" ex
planned an experienced woodsman to a
Washington Star reporter, point to a
very severe winter, though it may be a
short one. The squirrels have already
begun laying away their winter store
of nuts, though in the immediate coun-
try around Washington the nuts have
not begun to fall to any great extent.
The crop of acorns, hickory and chest.
nuts is unusually large this fall. some
trees that have come under my obser.
walton bearing at least double the
quantity they did last year. This is q
very reliable sign OF a severe winter.
Another sign is the crop of persim.
mons, which is also extra heavy. The
few frosts that we have had have not
done much to ripen the persimmon
and many of them are vet green. Ny
observation convinces me that these
signs are entitled to some dependence.
though, of course, they are not recog.
nized as infallible by the authorities
on the subject. think l have satisfied
my own mind on the bearing the per-
simmon has on the weather that is to
follow and that this is incontroverti.
BILE: If the persimmon ripens and falls
early the winter viii be brief, but if it
holds on to the tree late into the fall
the winter is very liable to be late in
its wind-up and severe while it prevails.
The animals are preparing for cold
winter, and there are some reasons for
believing thar they know what they
are about"
