While the peculiar pacing gait of
moose will not carry him over the
ground as rapidly as the deer or carl
bou, his endurance far surpasses that
of either of these animals. For q
short sprut or in very deep snow the
carbon can easily discount the moose,
but for an all-day's jaunt, where the
course is fairly open, the moose has
no rival. Many years ago, when Sir
Edmund Head was governor Of the
Province of New Brunswick, he owned
a tame moose that performed remark
able feats of speed and endurance. On
one occasion the governor wagered
800 that his moose could travel from
Fredericton TO ST. John over the ice, a
distance of eighty-four miles, in faster
time than any team of horses in the
stud of Lord Hill of the Fifty-second
regiment A sledge was attached to
the moose and another to the horses
eight inches of snow. The start was
made opposite government house at s
o'clock in the morning. In seven hours
the moose and his driver were in
Market square, st. John. Lord Hills
team was distanced, one of the horses
expiring at Gagetown and the other
reaching st. John three hours behind
the moose.-Breeder and Sportsman.

The census bureau, in its report on
domestic animals announces that all
domestic animals in the United States
have a probable value at least of So
100000, 900. OF this the value OF an
imals on farms and ranges constitute
over SO per cent. The total value OF
all domestic animals on farms and
ranges is $2,9S1, ,O54, Ills, against $2,20S.-
1888 in $780, There was a gain in
all parts of the country except the
North Atlantic states, where there was
a decrease Of horses, sheep and swine,
making a totel decrease OF 8 per cent
in the value Iowa leads all states in
total value of it's livestock, while
Texas ranks second. The former has
an investment in livestock OF $272, 2,S44,-
094, and the latter 1895, ,227, ,4S4. Texas,
however, has the greatest number OF
neat cattle, mules and goats, but the
average value of these and other an
imals being less than in Iowa, pre-emi-
nence in value rests with the latter
state.

The tug ofwar was a exciting con-
test, but more exciting still was the
shoe race. In this race every man
pulled off his shoes and marked. with
chalk. his especial number on them.
The shoes were then mixed thoroughly
in a large pile. The men We're
formed in double column line forty
feet away. and at the word every man
made dash to secure his shoes. 1t
was more confusing aud more excit-
ing than football game. There was
a great wriggling pile of blue with
legs and arms sticking out in every
direction. A man who got any shoe
hut his own could throw it in any
direction as far as possible. The first
man to secure his own shoes and re-
turn to the forty foot line was declared
the winner. The sports will probably
be repeated next Tuesday afternoon.
