Qixina Horses at Tacoma Lakes.

The only pair of diving horses in
the world will be seen at Tacoma
Lakes the first week in August. These
horses have been seen at several re-
sorts and everywhere have created
wonder and admiration. Without
guidance or suggestion from the train
err, they walk up the incline to the
platform 80 feet above the water.
where, after carefully viewing their
surroundings and waiting for the
proper wind, they dive fearlessly into
the lake below. Their dive is as pref
ty ard as graceful as that of per-
son. After coming to the surface they
shake their heads, swim around and
come out. All of this is done with APP
parent pleasure on their part and the
greater the applause, the better they
seem to enjoy it.
These horses are cream-cOlored,
high-strung, handsome animals, but
clever and like to be petted. In Eng
gland and in Europe, in New York and
in other large American cities their
act was the leading attraction of the
season. They have been at Lexington
Park, Mass, for some time. The cleo
trio road management has gone to
great expense to secure these horses,
but it feels confident that the public
will appreciate the entertainment.
The hours on which the attraction will
take place are at 5 o'clock in the af-
ternoon and at 8 o'clock in the even

Notice to Motor Boat Owners.

The government officials say every
owner of a motor boat must have life
preservers or something buoyant to
hold a person from sinking. The
Hunton Fender will pass all require

of the best of cork, and thoroughly

inches in length will support a person
in the water weighing 200 pounds.
They cost considerable less and do not
take up the room of the regular life
preserver. The lanyard running
through the entire centre gives them
double the strength of any other make.
Any motor boat owner who cares for
safety should not be without set of
these tenders. They have already been

but it is not 50. 1t has been decided
that there will be no lamp affixed to
the torch, the principal reason for
which is said to be the difficulty of
