A bunch Of some 30 horses which

they had broken away number of

close on his footsteps. They crowded
so close that there was not room fol-
some of them to jump and .hese were
jammed against the fence, which was
baoken in the operation. The fence
was protected by two barbed wires
and these were broken and rolled their
fierce coils in both directions. Some
OF the horses must have been badly
scratched, but none seemed injured.
One trim looking black horse was
thrown squarely on his back and
squirmed and wriggled like cater

of his plunging companions. 1t look

The animals liked the taste of the
grass in the park and decided to camp

own way for some time. One Of

the condition being that the drawer
Of the winning number must marry
one of the prize winners in the beauty
show, who would in turn receive &
