A Long. Long Ride.

Lieutenant w. H. Reed, of the Uni
ted States cavalry, has been detailed
to ride Gen. John B. Castleman's sad
die horse, Clifton, across the continent
to demonstrate the Generals theory
that the American saddle horse is
superior and possesses more endurance
than any other breed Of horses. Cliff
ton is being trained for the test at
Louisville by a trip OF 30 or 40 miles a
/ day.
Everybody will be interested in the
performance Of this feat, for all Of us
hope 1t will prove our native saddle
horse superior TO all other for cavalry
service. But many will also pity the
noble animal, for the strain will be Sc
we're. No ordinary horse would be
subject to 1t for the reason that II 1t
did not go beyond the powers of com
mon plug the whole experiment would
be useless. Before Clifton, after leav-
ing the Atlantic coast, can hope to
have bis nostrils greeted by the salt
breeze that sweeps the father side OF
the Coast Bange; thousand weary
leagues must lie behind him. He may
bear the strain without breaking down
and doubtless he will-proving to the
world what he is called upon to prove,
that there are to be found the cavalry
horses OF the world, but the result of
the test that will directly concern the
noble horse is the aging effect of It;
for Clifton will be older by more days
than II viii take TO complete the trip
when be reaches the Pacific coast. A
certain part Of the animals life must
20 into such long continued exertion
as that. and 1t is q pity he cannot be |
sent back in the lower berth Of q /
sleeper, with two porters TO dust his |
coat and shine his shoes.
