death-defying and daring act ever pre-

water without spilling, so does dare

be the best drilled soldiers in the world.

There are many queer trades in New
York city, and that of the "steerer''
is one, and it is becoming quite com
mon. The "steerer" is equally as i'm
portant, and he must be possessed of
the same qualification as the society
wine agent, and this comparatively
new field for bright people is not ONLY
remunerative but pleasant. In order
to be eligible for the position one
must be possessed of large acquaint-
ance and following among persons
who spend money literally. There
are in New York men who have been
able to win by their good manners
and other forms of cleverness a large
following. They know everybody who
is worth knowing and are much in
evidence at all the merry gatherings.
They are the "steerers," and their du-
ties, as the title might indicate, are
to push all sorts of eatables and
turntables upon polite society.
