Snail Racing.
From Tit Bits.
Parisians have a new summer sport II
is snail racing. While not quite as exciting
as horse racing, it has the advantage of
being enjoyed at the clubs, cafes or any
place without moving from ones chair
They began by organizing races between
snails handicapping the fieetest by putting
weight on his back. Then they tried to
carry, but as 1t was difficult to fasten
weight on the animals back they harnessed
snail to little dolls carriage by means
of wire and a strip of paper pasted to
the shell.
The result was surprising. The snail
moved the carriage loaded with a weight
of more than eight pounds!
The next development of the new sport
was number Of animals harnessed to the
same vehicle. This arrangement did not
work, for the animals would not pull to-
gether." and SO their force was wasted. A
woman suggested the use of india rubber
bands for harness, and this proved to be a
great Improvement. 1t was found that five
or six healthy snails could draw % pounds
nearly foot.
Most surprising result Of all, small boys,
weighing so pounds, are used as jockeys,
seated in a baby carriage Fourteen to
twenty snails usually succeeded in draw
ing this load inches over a level asphalt
road In quarter Of an hour.
