horses moods.
In the stall of every fast trotter
or PAGER are there suits of clothes"
and three sets of harness. 1t is
within the truth to say that horse
knows when a race is "on." If the
light harness is brought out the
horse understands at once that it
means business. So, too, does he
know what it means to put on his
ordinary stable garments, his best
clothes or his cooling off rags.
The modern "parlor car" for a
horse is more comfortable than the
average sleeping car is for a man.
There are shower baths, hot and
cold water, separate compartments
for each horse and all that sort of
thing. / only wish that when
started on a journey l was sure of
all the comforts as is the high class
trotter or PAGER when it is sent
from one grand circuit city to an
other.
If the horse has a chill there is
somebody to give it dose of hot
medicine. If its eyes, ears, head or
feet are not right, there is always
man to supply the remedy. The
way the modern trotting or pacing
horse is cared for is the wonder of
the world.

Perhaps a magazine will some
day print the story of Quarterback
O'Flaherty in the Harvard-Yale
game of 1909. Perhaps the story
will tell exactly what happened in
that battle. In the meantime, the
O'Flaherty incident, which &C.
Cured just before the safety, is
somewhat of a mystery. What hap
pened, as seen from the side lines,
was this:
After O'Flaherty had run down
Coy's punt to Harvard's 81 yard
line, Corbett. and Leslie shifted
sides, and O'Flaherty gave the sig
nails for plunge straight through
Yale's left tackle. that part of Ellis
line that Corbett had been finding
so weak during the early part of
the first half.
Instead of running over to meet
Corbet, O'Flaherty remained rooted
in his tracks at the left side of Har-
wards line. Corbett, observing that
O'Flaherty was not cooperating
with him, but was remaining fixed.
with his arms outstretched and
holding the ball, veerd to left to get
the bal. while the Yale line, profit
ing by this hesitation, quickly broke
through and threw Corbett back for
a loss to Harvards 20 yard line.
Corbett again shifted, and OLA
herty again gave the signal for a
plunge through Yale's left tackle,
but, the second time. remained mo-
tionless in his position, and did not
run up to meet Corbett.
Corbett again he'd to run off to
the left to meet O'F'laherty and get
the ball, and this time Yale threw
him back for the loss of yard.
The game stopped sharply. The
players of the Harvard team
crowded around O'Flaherty, who
was swaying from side to side and
waving his hands. Corbett was an
cry, and threw his helmet to the
ground.
Wigglesworth began to warm up
to the side lines, while Referee
Langford took O'F1aherty by the
arm and led him toward the Har-
ward side lines.
