takes much interest in unusual things.
did you ever see pure white race
horse? / venture the assertion that
you never did in all your experience
in running around over the country.
No doubt you have seen an iron gray
horse now and then, or a fiea.bitten
gray, but you have never seen n
white horse among the thoroughbreds

saying that there is no such thing az

noticed by others. have seen gray
horse now and then. A few years
ago remember TO have made a small
bet on horse, named Boaz, a sort
of fiea-bitten gray, owned by wo-
man, who, by the way, was not red
headed. But during my experience
round race tracks, which is not as
broad as the experience of others, the
pure white horse, or anything ap-
preaching it nearer than the gray,
has been conspicuously absent, and
have often wondered why. OF course,
there must be some good, deep-rooted
reason for this extraordinary fact.
Bay horses, sorrel horses and black
horses are common enough at the va
ric1rs race courses of the country, and
they are in all shades, so far as these
colors are concerned. Occasionally
one may find a horse bordering on
the clay bank in color, horses with
blaze faces, or with white hind or fore
feet, or sometimes having other dis
tinguishing color marks. But where
is the waite horse? He is not at the
race track where running races are
on the card, and they are very scarce
on trotting and pacing tracks. have
never mentioned the curious fact to
men who are experts when 1t comes
to blooded horses. but intend to do
SO, and the very first well-posted race
horse man ] meet ! will ask him why
it is that there are no white race
horses, and the reasons therefor. There
must be some relation between color

four Consecutive Years.

TOUR consecutive wears.
Out in the ocean, about four miles
off the shore of Rhode Island and just
south of Narragansett bay, is an
chored Brenton's Reef lightship. Some
32 years ago the lonely watchers on
the ship had their attention attracted
by seagull that so far put aside his
wild nature as TO swim close to the
vessel In search Of food. The friend
liness and trustfulness of the bird i'm
mediately won the hearts of the keep
ers, and soon he was supplied with
all the food he wanted. Not only this,
but every day, without break, the
bird, which by this time the men had
nemed Dick" came back, and just
as regularly was he supplied. This
soon grew into habit and the prep
aration of Dicks allowance become
one of the cooks fixed duties.
There would have been nothing
very remarkable in a wild sea fowl

peat search for food so regularly
and so bountifully successful, were II

years; and Capt. Edward Fogarty, in
charge of the lightship, writes to us
that the last seen of the old fellow
was in April, 1895, when, according
to his custom, he left for his summer
vacation, but, for the first time in
"a years. failed to return the next
October.
What became of him no one knows.
His great age may have so enfeebled
him that he was unequal to the long
flight to and from his unknown sum-
mer home. He may have chosen to
stay there, or he may have died of old
age.
II was noticed by the ships keepers
that during his last visit Dick plainly
showed the effects of his increasing
years, and that he was no longer able
to hold his own with the other gulls
in maintaining his exclusive right to
the bounty thrown out from the light.

The Smithsonian institution knew
the history Of Dicks visits and was
desirous of obtaining his remains
