Equestrian Contest.

The third and last leg of the grand
equestrian contest will bring the fair
and horse show to a close Saturday
night This contest has proved the
most attractive feature of the fair, and
the people rot only of Columbia and
Maury county, but from points as far
away as Nashville manifested thei. in
terest by their presence. At the final
contest tomorrow night likelyenough,
che capacity of the boxes and the grand
@tand will De put to a severe test, as
those who have seen the other two
will want to see the finish, and those
who were not present on either Tues
day or Thursday night will be on
hand to see the prizes awarded. Two
sets of critics have served in this
unique contest as judges, and third
set will be called to act Saturday
night, following which the votes will
be canvassed and the prizes announc-
cd.
This contest originated in the idea
Of deciding the best lady and gentle
man horseback rider of Maury county
by districts. The riding Of the con-
testants in this championship class
is quite superior to anything of the
kind ever before seen in Tennessee,
and the management Is confidently
looking forward to record breaking
attendance on the closing night.

Baked Beans and New England.
From the Portland fMe) Press

Some obnoxious person-it may have
been a professor in Chicago university
has gained >cess to the public prints to
emit blast against the pork and beans
and ether favorite dishes of New England.
This cantankerous curmudgeon alleges de-
generacy against the northeastern sec
ton, and claims that this falling Off
which exists In his mind and nowhere else
is due to the gross feeding habits Of the
people. their Indulgence in a diet of pork
and beans, doughnuts, mince pie. etc. He
is all wrong. This Is the meat on which
New England has grown great. On what
were the statesmen, orators, poets, schol-
ars, philosophers and other leaGers who
have made New Esgland famous nour-
ished but on these same yiands which ig-
porance now undertakes to condemn
There was the godlike Daniel. He knew
beans and ate them, and doughnuts, sour
milk biscuits hot from the oven. fried
pork. injun pudding, squash, mince and
every other kind of pie. Let Chicago pro-
duce an orator to equal him IL she can.
The halls of Congress have resounded
more Or less with Cook county oratory.

An African Elephant Farm.

From the Scientific American.
One Of the great obstacles to agricul-
tural development in the equatorial dis
tricts Of Africa IL the difficulty OF pro-
curing beasts Of burden. Horses have
been tried in vain; oxen soon become use
less; the ass would no doubt be q serv-
iceable animal. but it il dinicult to ac-
climatize: while zebras, In spite Of many
attempts that have been made to break
them in. have never been domesticated to
any serious extent. In these circum-
stances some interest may be felt in an
experiment which IL being carried oh by
Commandant Laplume at Api, in the kon-
go Free State. and Of which some particu-
lars are given by NJ. Daniel Belief in
Cosmos The African elephant has been
generally considered as quite intractable,
but Commandment LAplume Is OF opinion
that much may be done with him II
caught young. The catching takes place
up, hich sets out to look for the fresh
spoor Of elephants. They follow only
those tracks which indicate that the herd
contains calves OF the right age to UNDER
&c training. As soon as the herd il
sighted guns are fired to brighten the
animals and send sthe old ones flying.
The calf also runs, Or tries to run. bur
its slowness permits the hunters to catch

legs and then a third attached to the two
others. Three or four men walk in front,

tine other end is held behind in the same
Way. 1t IL necessary to take the greatest
care to prevent the animal being injured
by the ropes in any way. as even slight
wounds are very dangerous to the calves,
and they are brought I'm to the farm as
tenderly as possible. The task of catch
ing has been materially lightened of late,
because several OF the elephants cap
tured in former years have been trained
to assist the hunters.

A FOXY FOX HUNTER.
Fooled Sly Mr.. Reynard by Hunting
Him With q Lame Dog.

From the Fur News.
George Decker's style OF hunting foxes
in Pike county is still more novel than
the masquerading for moose in Maine
When fox skins commanded a high price
in the market some years ago. foxes were
hunted and trapped for profit. and. being
plentiful in Pike county. the trappers
made money.
Then it was that Decker distinguished
himself by bringing in from four to ten
foxes every time he went out, while other
famed hunters and trappers frequently
returned empty handed. Decker's brother
hunters became jealous of his success,
and az he never would permit any one to
hunt with him it was years before his
methods became known.
There's more ways than one to get
the best of a fox" Decker says. and

sang her way into hungry hearts for

songs to the majority Of her audience
and their limitations, she selected a
number Of simple English ballads, al
though there were many present who
had heard the best Of grand opera and
would have appreciated French. italian
or any other language.
Hidden away in the midst Of the
stripes were such prisoners as
Charles W. Morse. Greene and Gay

then she switched to Coming Thro'

to the echo and brought two others.
which were just as enthusiastically re-

was emphasized by the action of Miss
Farrar In playing her own accompani-
ments.
After the concert Miss Farrar and her
