A CURIOUS CONTEST.
Ok Race That Is Run Under Peculiar
Conditions.

Ok Race That Is Run Under Peculiar
Conditions.
A race that in a peculiar sense is
not to the swift is one that is run,
if the word may be used in such a
connection, every year in the pro-
Vincial districts of Germany.
Early in May during the celebra-
ton of festival that to certain
extent corresponds to the English
May day an OK race is held. The
entrance fee is small, but the con-
ditions are peculiar Each OK must
be ridden by its owner and ridden
bareback. No whip, spur, yoke,
harness or any means of guiding
the animal is allowed. The rider
must depend entirely upon his
voice to accomplish the end he has
in view, and as the oxen do not race
on track, but across a large open
field, the training of the animals
and the skill of the rider are Sc
verely tested. Speed is a secondary
consideration in this race, for the
rider who can induce his steed to go
in a straight line is sure to win.
The start is made at one side of a
field mile square, the finish at the
opposite side.
When the competitors are lined
up and the signal is given the fun
begins. Despite the efforts of the
riders the majority Of the oxen re-
fuse to head toward the opposite
mark, and as spectators are allowed
IN the field and are at liberty to do
anything they wish to interfere
with the rider except touch him or
his mount the difficulties of the
race are not uncomfortable.
AS is well known, oxen are not as
a rule excitable beasts. But when
they are confronted by the shouts
of the spectators and the general
hullabaloo that always ensues at
such affairs as well as the exciting
efforts of the riders to control them
they are soon reduced to a state of
complete bewilderment. 1t often
happens that an hour has passed
before one of the oxen has succeed
ed in getting under the wire"
But when once the task is ac-
comphshed the winning rider is
fully repaid for his pains. His OK
is surrounded by the enthusiastic
spectators and decorated with gar
lands and flowers, and the lucky
owner receives a cash prize.--Pitts-
burg Post.

Political Platforms,

No political party held a national
convention prior to 1881 or adopted
a platform of principles prior to
1882. Before these dates nomina-
tons were made by congressional
caucuses and by the several legisla-
lures. The anti-Masonic party was
the first to hold national conven-
ton. This was convened in Balti-
more on Sept. 26, 1881. 1t named
William Writ for president, but
adopted no platform. This example
was followed by the Wings, who met
in December of the same year and
put Henry Clay in nomination, but
framed no declaration of princi-
Piles. 1t was not until the Demo
cratic party met in convention, also
in Baltimore, on March 20, 1882,
that the modern custom of stating
the issues of the campaign was in
augurated
