Ten Commandments for
 Horse Owners and Others

Thou shalt not have no pleas ure in commanding from thy horse labor, which is clearly inconsistent with his health and wellbeing.
 2,-Thou shalt not make thine ani- malls life story of pain simply be- cause that power may be ;hine
 3.-Thou shalt not be unmindful that thy faithful horse was born in slavery, which probably will not end. Thou hast the power. however, to emancipate him from much of the pain and misery of a life spent wholly in the service of others.
 4.-Thou shalt not have done thy full duty in showing kindness to thine own animal alone; thy humanity must be sufficient to extend it's saving grace to thy companions, less capa- ble of felling than thyself; for ,hey, too, have been born in bondage, and are to be redeemed
 5.-Thou shalt remember that "mercy is twice bless.d: it blesseta him that giveth and him that taketh." ,"
 6.-Thou shaut honor myself as well

 S.-Thou shalt not commit thy horse to care of another whom thou knowest to be inexperienced and in competent, or unwilling to treat him kindly. lest that persons sins be charged against thee
 9.-Thou shalt not steel thy heart against thy better judgment, and in moments of passion inflict physical suffering on thy true friend, more especially since he himself, through no fault of his own, is completely at thy mercy, even for food and shelter.

field events. For instance. no such quartet
Of pole v~aulters ever represented any coun-
try as Dray and Gilbert, Yale; Bellah, San
Francisco, and Jacobs, Chicago, all better
than twelve feet. and It will be the biggest
sort of a surprise if the whole nine points
are not tailed for the Yankees There is
only one thing that might interfere with
the scoop and that is the rules of vaulting.
The contestant i'm England is allowed to
climb the pole, so there is a remote chance
that some freak may slide in from Japan
or elsewhere and clambor up the stick to
a height of fourteen feet or Whereabouts.
Outside Of this possibility the other trouble-
some points are Soderstrom Of Sweden,
who can beat twelve feet, and the Cana
dian, who, it is claimed, can climb still
higher. Gouder, the French champion, a
strong twelve-foot man. is not in competi-
ton just now.
With men like McGrath, New York Ath-
letic club; Flanagan, Irish Amateur Ath-
letic club, and ellis. New York Athletic
club, and Talbot, Irish Amateur Athletic
club, as a substitute, it is hard to see
how any of the old world hammer throw
ers will have the least chance. Nicholson
of Scotland is the present champion. About
1872 feet will be his limit, and these figures
will not even extend the Americans. Ralph
Rose Of San Francisco is a 100 to l on
chance for the sixteen-pound shot and
should win to a certainty and with a new
Olympic record to boot. Coe, Boston Attn
letic association, and Garrels, Chicago Ath-
letic association, will have the other two
places at their mercy. Kirkwood, the Eng
lish champion, is not much better than
forty-five feet. Dennis Horgan, who has
been in Ireland for some time, is said to
he in good trim and If he lands at the
scratch showing any of his old-time form
he may come in for a third.
There should be some big work in the
discus free style, that is, throwing from
the circle with a turn. For some time
past Garrels has been practising with the
new style discus and is reported doing
