How the Prince Was Fed.

A perusal of the menus of the various
festivities at which our guest sat himself
down and ate shows an overwhelming ar
ray of Blue Point oysters, terrapin and
canVas-back duck. If the prince were TO
conclude from this that these things are
the chief staples Of food of this country
and that our hams are made only for ex-
port, he would not lack Justification, and
in the matter of canvas-baCk ducks he
must have suspected at least that we were
experimenting with him to see if a single
individual could eat thirty game birds in
as many days and survive the ordeal in
full enjoyment of his digestive powers. Up
on what principle Prince Henry was
companied everywhere he went by a gas
tronomic guard of terrapin and canvas
backs is of the mysteries. Why he
was not introduced to chicken a la Mary
land is a point as full of complexities as a
naval controversy. and for what earthly
reason it was considered wise 10 overload
his stomach with petits tours and marrons
glaces at every feast, to the exclusion of
pumpkin pie and Boston baked beans, we
shall probably never know. We under
stand, in a measure, why it was that the
prince was given a special performance of
grand opera, which he can get every night
of the week at home, rather than that he
should have been entertained at Weber &
Fields's the like Of which he never saw
anywhere from Potsdam to Antipodes.
There were good reasons for this, but why
a man who has come hither TO see how
we live and what we live on should have
nothing but an endless vista of terrapin
and petits fours. canvas-back ducks and
marrOns. Blue Point oysters and Camem-
bert, surpasses capacity of human intelIi-
gence TO answer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. March 2S.-The
work of preparing Blue River Park for the
Grand American handicap which is TO take
place there from March 81 to April 3. is all
but completed. Manager Elmer Shaner says
that the park as remodeled is not greatly
inferior to ElkwoOd Park, New Jersey, and
Interstate Park, Long island. The club
house will easily accommodate the 400
shooters. and the. grounds will make 1000
spectators feel comfortable.
Seventeen thousand pigeons are in the
coops at the park and 5000 more are held in
reserve. The handicap committee will meet
on Thursday TO decide the marks from
which the 400 wing shots will shoot. This
handicap committee consists of John NJ.

MDNCIE. Ind, March 23.-Muncie's mu-
Dicpal politics is beginning To warm up for
the spring election, the first bout being
next week, when the Republicans will NOM
mate the city ticket at a primary election.
This nomination is generally regarded as
equivalent TO an election because of the
large Republican majority I'm the city.
Democrats have as yet taken no steps TO
select ticket from the fact that another
ticket will oppose the Republicans. The
Murcie Municipal League was organized
several weeks ago al meeting in Union
Labor Hall, the intention being To nominate
q full city ticket and cater for the labor
vote Of Muncie. This organization held a
meeting this afternoon and adopted a plat
form. and on next Sunday afternoon will
nominate a full city ticket, with two can
didates for Council from each ward. The
platform adopted to-day declares for the
municipal ownership of the water works, TO
be operated on plan similar to that of the

New York Evening Post.


Chicago has a new embarrassment, the
precise extent of which could not be de-
termined before some Of the recent investi-
cations of the Pure Food Commission were
complete. Now il is found that over Is 600
manned, crippled and diseased horses are
slaughtered in the town each year, and
that much of this flesh is sent to market
either as beef as as corned beef. In the
course of an inquiry as 10 volume and char
acter of the traffic, the assistant pure food
commissioner found no less than fifteen
receiving stations where the worn-out
beasts were collected at cost OF 81 TO $50
each and whence they were either driven
or carried to the abattoir on the outskirts
OF the town. The hides Of the animals are
sold for the making of leather, the hoofs
go back to the rendering establishment but
the flesh. after being cut up, is packed away
until nightfall. 1t is current report in Chi
cago that from the gates of the main killing
station numbers of butcher carts ar. night
ly driven away, apparently with full loads.
Grave doubts are beginning TO fill the minds
of the citizens as 10 whether the prime beef
which they are eating from day TO day is
really beef or possibly only horsemeat An
added trouble is the fact that the slaughter
of horses is quite within the pale of the
law, while neither the local nor the federal
regulations provide any system for inspect
ing the meat so obtained.

managed TO delude so many of the writers

win. Their desire to drive Freedman and
Brush out of the game was so general that

When the question of playing rules came
up for consideration both of the college
magnates agreed that the American League

the best for the college games. HUFF stated
that Jack HOLSTER, of Beloit was in favor
of the old rules, ana that Wisconsin also
had no desire for complicated innovations
