Commissioner Woodbury. of the New
York department of street cleaning
tells this anecdote of an acquaintance
or his who was walking through Cen
trail park the other day. Being in
somewhat of a hurry he started to cut
across the grass at one place but was
stopped by park policeman, who re-
monstrated with him. What differ
ence does it make?" asked the New
Yorker; 'the grass is half dead any
way" Sure, an what If it is?" re-
sponded the indignant guardian Of the
peace; "if you had sick friend would
yez be takin walk on his stomach? ?"

"beggars of every description-shy
beggars, clustering ones, old beggars,

chair stood on a corner of the Rue
st. Lazare, in Paris. The hat lay on
the chair with few coppers in it and
behind the hat was a placard read

Twenty-Five years ago Horace
Fletcher taught Marquis Oyama how
to shoot. Fletcher had published a
pamphlet on how to shoot with rifle
and copies of it reached Japan. The
author was in that country shortly af-
terward and was sent for by Marquis
Oyama, then minister of war. Fletch-
or gave him lessons. He says that
when Oyama first hit a moving OBJ
ject-a teacup thrown into the air
he 'capered about and screamed in
his delight like an excited schoolboy."

exhibition is one of the standing ones
at the famous Brockton fair and is con-
sidered the great event Of the fair.
1t is given every day on the track and
always arouses the audience to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm. The
standing race is made by two drivers
each standing on two horses and is a
fierce one, the one at Brockton, last
year, being made in 521s seconds and it
rarely goes above one minute for the
half mile. They go a full half mile,
scoring for the word and then finishing
under the wire. The horses in both
teams are very evenly matched and
sometimes one wins and sometimes the
other, as it all depends on how the
horses are feeling.
The chariot race is made the same
way, there being two chariots, having
four horses harnessed to each and 60
ing the full half mile and the time
made is usually about the same as in
the standing race.
The running race has several
horses in it and as every one is ridden
by gayly dressed jockey and all are
first class horses the race is a beauty
In addition to the races the final
feature and what to many is the great
