The diving horses have arrived and ar
in readiness for the exhibitions which will
be given the last three days of the fair. 4

about it, while we are informed that the
horses at Concord were forced TO make the
leap. AT any rate we are glad TO be able
to state that these horses are not the one
shown at Concord.
