This years show promises to eclipse
all of its predecessors, despite the
prediction of the past few years that
the popularity of horses and horse
shows was on the wane. The partici-
patton of expert military riders from
several of the countries of Europe
promises to add to the popularity of
this years exhibition and will give it
a truly international character. From
the society point of view the success
of the show is already assured. Wis
itors Of social prominence are here in
large number, the registers in many
of the hotels reading like the social
directories of a score of cities.

1t is true that this advertisement is at

humanitarian than the other. He
said, MANY man in those prison
walls ought not to be there. One man
in particular is in there for 20 years.
He was a married man, and an agent
for pianos. A woman's treachery to
get one of those pianos for nothing
placed him behind the prison bars. 1t
was the work of an adventures, using
her Ia year old girl as the bait to en-
trap him. This [ had straight from
the sheriff of the county that brought
him here. 1t was deliberate conni-
vance on the part of the mother to
force the agent to give her the piano.
Then her scheme failed, she turned to
revenge, and landed the man in the
penitentiary by triumped up charge
of the woman. ''He IS a smart fell
low" he continued, The has con-
structed the model of marine engine

istence. Well it is shame for
there is genius housed in both peni-
tentiaries that would surprise you. A
man in San Quentin has invented a
machine to detect fraudulent bank
bills. 1t is infallible, and certain to
be used by all the banks.
The conversation then turned upon
the workmanship of guards. "When
| was at San Quentin five years ago, )"
said the guard at the gate, there
was a demand for guards-men who
were expert shots. the test to get a
position was to be made at target.
1t was to hinge principally upon mark
manship. Two darkeys came up and at
tempted to shoot. One was driving
the center out of the target in way
that made the rest of us look wild,
but the tallymen were doing their
duty, they were marking him out
every time. Finally the darkey caught
on, he pulled out $500 in 500 pieces
and threw them on the ground with a
vim, at the same time saying,
"I'll jist bet yous gemmens dat Is
twenty dollar pieces dat | kin beat
any man shootin in de two prisons. !"

he could do it, but we didn't want a
