Mr.. Pollard assured the court that he
would do all within his power to cover
the ground within the prescribed limit
and that he would not tax the patience
of the jurist more than was absolutely
necessary. He believed that in three
hours argument he could satisfactorily
reply to the contentious of Messrs Brax-

tian and lay before the court such facts
as would assist the judge In reaching a
decision as well as point out such acts
as would tend TO make the case clear.
Messrs. Anderson, Christian and Wen
denburg spoke yesterday In answer to
the contentious of Richmond. and Mr..
Meredith took UP a few minutes in max
ing his position entirely clear and pre-
senting such suggestions as were peril
nent TO the issue.
Mr.. Anderson followed his argument
of the day previous. He protested siren
uously against the annexation of the
estate OF Mrs. S. NJ. Dooley, and cited
many authorities to bear him out that
the law. If it included this property,
would be unconstitutional in that it
would not return reciprocal value for the
taxes levied upon the property

enced the ctlons of the members OF the

to this report in the Council said that
the committee had not made report,
that it had kept the people In the dark,
and that teh members had been dilatory
in the discharge of their duty and that
he proposed to see that they did report.
In reply to this, Mr.. Bradley said that

IL said parenthetically.s Mr.. Wakefield
said that he did not mean anything
against any member OF the committee,
and that If he had said anything in the

sion, be was willing to apologize.
Mr.. Robinson held that this apology
should come before the Council and hence
the resolution last night.
The Board refused to concur the
action OF the Assembly in sbolishing the
Use OF free transportation hooks for the
reason that the resolution from the
lower branch was not couched in the
proper legal language. But a minute
afterwards the upper branch did adopt

Abbott contended that as fire com
missioner he was often called to at

the Council did instruct him along this

not only ascended steep mountains
along narrow lodges where it would
have been impossible for a horse or
even a mule to have followed, but was
able to leap downward in places where
there was a sheer descent of several
feet and alight in safety on the rocks
below.
The buffaloes now in Corbin Park,

this old-time agility, as they seem to
delight IN journeying up steep ascents

THE DAY OF THE WILD BUFFALO IS PAST

composed OF countless smaller herds
of buffalo then on their journey north.
The road ran along the broad level
bottom or valley, of the river.
The whole country appeared one
great mass of buffalo, moving slowly
to the northward; and It was only
when actually among them, that It
could be ascertained that the appar-
entity solid mass was an agglomeration
of innumerable small herds of from
SO to zoo animals separated from the
surrounding herds by greater or less
space, but still separated"
1t is conservatively estimated that
Colonel Dodge was at least 500, 900
buffaloes, and these were but a frac-
ton OF a great herd of at least 4.000,-
900. an army greater in number than
all the men, women and children of
Greater New York put together. The
Indians of some of the tribes used to
think that the buffaloes issued from
the earth in an unfailing stream. and,
indeed. il might readily seem difficult
to account for such numbers in any
other way Is 1t any wonder that
many men believed that II was quite
impossible to exterminate the bison
Yet in the short space of 90 years
from the date on which Colonel Dodge
passed through that herd of 1000, 900
the buffalo had ceased to exist as a
wild animal in this country.
The buffalo was gregarious in the
habits and at certain seasons the
herds were larger and more COM
pact than at others. Especially was
this true of the breeding season. which
came chiefly in July and August.
Then vast hordes gathered on the
plains. which were the scenes of the
greatest activity for several weeks,
during which time the roaring of the
bulls was continuous and could be
heard for miles. There was also
much fighting among the bulls. After
the breeding season the herds became
less densely massed. The compact
herds dissolved into groups of from
20 to 100 or 200, and the usual
peaceful life was resumed.
Once Thrived in Kentucky.
IL lo lHdt
were migratory, but their migrations
were probably not nearly so extensive
as many people have supposed. In
their ordinary wanderings buffaloes
frequently travelled far away from
water, but as they became thirsty the
herd would start in search of some
spring or water course. The principal
trails usually extended north and
south and connected the rivers which
in the main run east and west. Such
trails also lead to the great salt Hicks,
such as the Big Boone lick in Ken
lucky, which was frequented by buff
faloes in great numbers up to the be-
ginning of the last century, when of
course the animal disappeared for
ever from the country east of the
Mississippi.
Considering the great weight of the
animal the gallop of a buffalo is a
very easy. elastic movement. In the
