Our Coming Lighting system.

From present appearance Morris
town will have the best lighting sys-
tenn in the State by the first of the
coming year. The action of the board
of aldermen on Wednesday seemed to
assure such hopeful result. The new
bidders have already purchased six
lots-four on Whippany street and
two on Erie street adjoining the
Whippany river and partially bounded
by the Morristown & Erie r. r. on
which to locate the proposed plant.
Arrangements are already under way
for a switch from the Erie, starting
between the river and Ridgedale ave-
nue., requiring bridge to reach the
proposed plant. 1t is estimated that
the plant will cost at least $150,000.
Of this amount more than $4,000 will
be spent for the ornamental poles re-
quired by the contract.

THE HORSE ENDURANCE TEST
Homer Davenport Reiterates His OfTel
and Bars No Breed.

and Bars No Breed.
Homer Davenport, Of Morris Plains
the cartoonist, has issued statement
regarding his proposed trans-contin-
entail horse endurance test, with the
object he said Of clearing the air ol
some MISUNDERSTANDING.
Mr.. Davenport wishes it understood
that he will welcome all corners in the
contest. The "Color line, he said is
not drawn and anything from a burro
to a percheron is welcome to try con
illusions with his Arabian horse. The
cry that he was showing the white
feather in saying that his horse was
not in condition, Mr. Davenport an
swers with repetition of the claim,
but, he adds, he is willing to start the
race with the disabled animal. The
statement follows:
" When | proposed having an Ara
bian Stallion ridden from Oregon to
New Jersey, my idea was to determine
whether the Arab horse had the same
pOWClS vi CIOuldliSC III AHlHItCd Litdl
| have seen them exhibit IN the desert.
In the desert last summer | saw c.
A. Moore, Jr., OF the firm of Manning.
Maxwell 81 Moore, carrying a Mauser
rifle, ammunition and Turkish gold
(the combined weight being more than
300 pounds), ride small Arab mare,
IA hands 2 inches high, thirty-tive
miles in four hours and a half. This
too, while the sun was registering 135
in the shade.
This test was not over a road or
even trail. 1t was made over the
broken stones OF the upper desert of
Arabia, and while remarkable from my
own viewpoint, it occasioned no COM
ment from the Bedouins, who seemed
to think it only an average perform
ance for any Arab horse. Nh. Moore
was skeptical Of the power of the Arab
horse. and made this severe test to see
if the mare would quit under the ex-
ceSSive weight.
Having one horse in Oregon, /
planned the ride across the continent
to see whether the Arab horse had
such endurance under conditions here
But ride against time, Or for a
record is dull affair, and | was more
than pleased when others asked the
privilege Of entering a horse aga inst
mine. This serves doubless purpose.
1t lends the encouragement OF com
partnership. shortening the ride for the
man who does the work, but most .of
all it provides a standard for COMPARE
son.
g ], am well aware of the splendid
qualities Of the Kentucky saddle horse
and SO knew, when General CaStleman
picked the mare Virginia to repre-
sent the Kentucky Saddle Horse Breed
ers Association, with the entire state
to choose from, he picked worthy
one.
Some one suggested that mule
also compete. Ii would lend interest
maybe comedy, to the ride, but in any
event am willing. The more start
erS the better | will be pleased. / am
not worrying oyer the finish though /
am open to convictions.
My only regret is, that my one
horse in Oregon has been laid up with
a bad cough which has left a slight
trace of heaveS. But he is ready to
start with as many breeds of horses
and mules as the government chooses
to ship across the continent, and when
the contest is once begun, we shall
know which has the staying qualities
and which can average the most miles
in the least time.
