Having Trouble About HOrscs
President Roosevelt is experiencing a
great deal Of difficulty in getting satisfac-
tory carriage horses. Since the three that
were brought from New York were sent
back, a couple of weeks ago, as unsuitable. |
the President has looked at more than |
dozen animals and personally tried four or
five. with the uniform result that all were
found wanting in some important feature
A beautiful span were brought up from
Virginia few days ago, and until they
were tried on the asphalt streets of the city
seemed just built for the Presidents use
They had style. gait and size, but it was
found that their feet We're defective. Had
they been used here a few days, experts
say, they would have become permanently
lame. Until the President finds exactly
what he is looking for he will continue TO |
use the old pair Of government horses that
were occasionally used by President and
Mrs. Mckinley.
He Intends to Go West

to pay visit to the west before going
anywhere else on similar mission, and |
that he hoped to be able to go west some
time next yeaf, just as soon as the condi- |
tion of public business would permit.
