Pouring generous dose of raw

Prizes for winners Of horse races
hundreds Of years ago took curious
forms The earliest was the "brlglia
dor" or golden bride After this the
prize In England was a bell. This
idea was taken from the custom
among owners OF pack horses of dec
Grating the best horse. which led the
cayalcade with bell, so thar on dark
nights and in dangerous places the
whereabouts Of the leader might be
known and the others follow boldly.
At Carlisle silver bells were raced for
by the moss troopers and dalesmen.

And in Stoneshed Section, Too--cause
Unknown, Loss Small.

Montpelier came near having another
fire in the stoneshed district last night.

to the place, but the fire had been ex-
tiuguished before they reached there,

across the river, discovered the fire, but
could talk no English, and attracted the
attention of others by shouting and
one of the men who heard him turned
in the alarm. while the others hurried
to the shed. A four by four timber was
blazing and the flames were going to the
roof. while in several places they were
breaking through the siding. There had
been no fire in the shop and there were
no electric wires. The blaze seemed to
have started three feet from the dirt floor
in the timber. II may be that some
workman left pipe or cigar ashes in a
creviee and caused the fire, but il was
a narrow escape from serious conAa.
