TRADE OF HORSE SHOEING
MAY BECOME EXTINCT
Advance of Automobile Threat
ems Ancient Industry

With the great increase or auto
mobiles and the decline of horse rae
ing and equestrianism, what will be-
come of the horse shoer? Is his ancient
craft to go the way of that of the
flint grinder and become a lost art?
Horse shows are still held, and the
long line of draft horses that pa
rade in their best harness and trap
pings one day in the year on Fifth
avenue is evidence that these faithful
animals still exist. But these are not
sufficient to sustain the art of the shoe
emith, which ranked in ancient times
with that of the scholar and bard and
was practieed not only by noblemen,
bishops and squires, but by kings
themselves. says the New York Sun.
Many noble families of England,
France and Poland have the device
of the horse shoe among their insignia.
The great age of the calling is attested
by the representation of a horse being
shod on coin of Tarentum of 800
B. c. and it is recorded that the Huns
when invading Europe left footprints
of iron where their horses trod. as did
the steeds of William the Conqueror on
English soil.
A favorable sign that an art with
such a long and honorable history is
not yet without considerable follow
ing is given by the Horse Shoers Jour-
nal monthly journal devoted to sci
ence. art, literature" and the trade.
The advertising pages of the Journal
show such changes and improvements
in the implements of the trade that the
old village blacksmith of half CEN
tury ago would scarcely recognize
them, and would certainly not know
how to use them. The up to date"
horse shoer may use nails and shoes
stamped with his own name. and shoes
of so great a variety of form and size
that horse that can not be properly
fitted ought to be ashamed of itself.
There are shoes for every variety of
hoof evil, for every kind of weather
and every kind of road. The assort-
ment of shoes offered to a lady in a
fashionable shop is small in compari-
son to that offered by the advertisers
in the Horse Shoers' Journal.
Modern development has robbed the
trade of one of its greatest charms, for
the great brick forge with it's CHEEKY
fire and showering sparks has been
supplanted by an ugly little sheet iron
affair with self-acting bellows.

ALAMEDA bowler
MAY SET new MARK
w. II. Howard Already Has Sc
WickefS to His Credit and
May Exceed Record of OF
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

w. II. Howard, the Alameda bowler
may set a new record for California
cricket in the number of wickets cap
tured during a season. Howard has
56 wickets to his credit and the season
is only a little more than half over
The record for wickets captured dur
ing one season is held by II. C. Cassidy
of the old Pacific club, now an ardent
supporter of the annual veteran games
on the Alameda cricket grounds.
Cassidy made his record of 81 wick
cts in 1901. and his average that year
was 7.63 for each of the 81 wickets Sc
cured.
Cricket has been played since 1892
under the auspices of the California
cricket association, but up to 1901, ii
is not likely that any bowler secured
anywhere near 81 wickets, as cricket
was played by only two or three teams
then and consequently there was no
opportunity for bowlers to play in as
many games as at present.
Only once has Casidy's record been
in danger; that was in 1908 when Rem
wick of the San Francisco team placed
so wickets to his credit for the season.
Now, however, the record is almost
certain to be smashed and Howard win
not only establish record in this re-
spect, but the average per wicket is
likely to be put at such low figure
that it will be years before higher rec
ords are made.
Howard has bowled consistently for
three years. Cricketers say there is
nothing extraordinary in his bowling,
yet for all that he certainly "gets their
goats" Howard has big break to his
delivery, but what does more damage
than this is the good support he gets
from his field. He also has the happy
knack of being able to place his field
to suit his bowling and he makes a
study of every batsman he bowls
against.
Had S. Stewart of the Barbarians
been able to play this year he also
would have probably tried to establish
record and the race between him and
Howard would have been interesting.
Stewards figures for last year, when
he topped the averages with 40wickets
for 33 runs each. had never been bet
tered and for runs per wicket, even
Howard will not displace him this year.
Other bowlers who have secured over
35 wickets are B. Krotlang in 1892.
G. Ward in 1904 and E. Wilkes in 1905.
The third round of the Cricket cham
pionship will be ushered in today at the
stadium wicket by the Alameda and
Wanderer teams. The game promises
to be a struggle royal from start to
finish. Each team will have the
strongest side it can muster, though
the Alameda men will be handicapped
with Howard absent. The teams other
wise are up to the standard.
The rival teams will be as follows:

MONUMENT ERECTED FOR
OLD TIME AERONAUTS
Column Marks Spot Where
MOntgolfiers Ascended

Tt may be news to those interested in
aerial flights to know that a memorial
of such exists. 1t is at Louveciennes,
and commentaries the ascent of the
first Montgolfier balloon, says the Lon
don Globe. The brothers Montgolfier
were on friendly terms with the cele-
brated statesman Boissy d'Ahglas, and
they offered to make their first expert
ment in his park. After the famous
ascent, Francois Antoine Boissy DAN
glas erected a little column to COM
memorate the event, simply bearing
the date. The ravages of time are seen
on the column, and the date is almost
obliterated To the casual observer this
famous landmark is only a mystery,
but Boissy d'Anglas evidently saw the
possibility of aerial flight by erecting
this modest memorial. Louveciennes
will probably become the Mecca of
aviators.
