Stumbling Horses-Some horses are nat
urally addicted to stumbling, others acquire
the fault, and still others have the stumbling
habit thrust upon them, says an authority on
the subject. In the first, it is almost incurable
but the second and third causes can be RENE
died by the rider or driver. If the ground II
rough or uneven, horses with low action are
prone to stumble. Other horses which are
naturally slipshod generally stumble because
they do not lift their feet high enough from
the ground. Laziness is another cause fol
stumbling. and horses that are heavy in front
or whose fore legs are weak or unsound, have
the eau,o foult Vary often carelessneea on the
part of the driver causes horse to stumble
This makes it necessary to always bear in
mind the value of keeping the horse well in
hand and sufficiently collected. II the habit
is due to laziness, 1t can often be cured by
riding or driving the horse over rough ground
until he has been broken of the fault. But in
all cases the cure rests with the driver or rider.
The most sure-footed of horses is bound to
stumble at times, but this can be reduced to a
minimum by keeping tight rein. A slack
rein is often the sole cause for stumbling. Ii
fatigue is the cause, extra care must be taken
to Keep the horse well up to the bit. No good
horseman will ever take chances of his horse
stumbling by allowing slack rein. Stumb-
ling is not only an annoying habit, but it often
results in serious injury and many times in
the total disability of the animal. While an
habitual tendency to stumble often does not
admit of a cure, the average case can be pre-
vented by the methods suggested above.
History of the Ross Mansion.-The Ross
mansion at Gilmor lane and Twenty ninth
street, which has just been leased by the School
Board for parental school for boys, has an
interesting history, says the Baltimore San.
The property ON which it stands was former
ly owned by Mr.. William s. Whitley. At
that time there was an extensive greenhouse on
the spot where the mansion row stands. 1t
was cared for by James Clark, an employee of
Mr.. Whitley, and large number OF trees and
vines were sold to Ross Winans and planted in
South Baltimore near the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks. Mr.. Clark afterward went to WASH
ington and took charge ofthe botanical gardens
there.
MIR. WHITLEY added considerably to the
greenhouse and mansion and about 40 years ago
sold the property to the late Charles Ross.
Mr.. Ross Immediately made improvements to
the building constructing it in its present shape.
When he died the property reverted to his son,
Mr.. Charles Ross, who lives in Washington.
The building is now occupied by Gen. r. N.
Bowerman.
The Brady mansion. opposite, which was
bought last week by Mr.. James A. Harvey,
is now rented as a school by the School Board.
1t is thought that the board will be granted
continued use oft.

nuisance; also to inform the Attorney General
that the officials of the turnpike have not
carried out the contract conditions OF its charter.
