In blaze of jewels, hurricane of
speed and a magnificent procession of
equine beauty, the fourth annual Sc
attic horse show ended Saturday. In
addition to the championship classes,
the jumping contests and the parade
of winners, there was novelty in the
form of game of pushball, partici-
pated in by Harry Whitney Treat,
president of the Seattle Horse Show
association, and M. Robert Guggenheim
on one side and Henry Snowden and
NJ. Dickinson on the other. The Treat

johnson Is Different.
Peter Jackson set good example
among the colored fighters, for al
though Peter was as black as the ace
of spades he tried to dress and behave
like gentleman. Jackson was nc
piker when it came to matter of fine
clothes and a good living. He would
buy wine with any of them, yet he was
never boisterous OF too fresh, like
some of the coon fighters of the pres
emit day. He seldom talked upon fistiC
topics and never mixed in tough so
ciety. AS fighter he was far supe
rior to Jack johnson in both science
and hitting. But he loved the grape
juice, and fell by the wayside.
British Fighters Coming.
The delegation of English fighters
will soon arrive in this country. The
scrappers who are coming are Jen
Driscoll, Owen Moran, Freddie Welsh
Johnny Summers, "Young Josephs, ,
Digger Stanley and possibly Ian Hague
