rank with the best
While this show is not so lavishly
staged as some, it adheres more
closely to the lines of old time min
strelsy, which is a real novelty in
these times where strife is so great
for unnatural effects. This company

Ensland's Oldest Bowling Green.

Which Is our oldest recreation
There are not wanting archeOligists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However,
when II comes to actual records, the
fine old English game OF bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton, Eng, has records
showing that one Of the local bowling
greens was in existence In 1893.
Many interesting customs are asso
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer fire jack
competition is held, and an order OF
knighthood is conferred on the win
ner, who kneels in the center OF the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with sword and dubs him sir.

Der may be, though for ten years Gin

twenty.fve) no vehicles of any kind
have stood there. Perhaps II is as well
that these relics should remain; they
are tiny part of our social history
They will probably remain when we
are flying to dinner or the theater In

The second type of horses Is the
Prejevalsky. found in wild state on
th5 steppes of central Asia There
are a few of these In England on the
estate Of the duke of Bedford. and
several specimens are being bred in
the New York geological garaens.
The Prejevalsky horse Is of red
brown color with light 'mealy"
nose, has a large head In proportion
to his body, and Is "cat hamed," and
less powerful than the Celtic horse.
Some writer's have assumed that the
Tarpan and the Prejevalsky horses
belong to the same family, but this
Is not now accepted, on account OF
their marked differences. the most
conspicuous of which is that the
Prejevalsky has the callosities on his
hind legs. In this family It usually
takes the form of a narrow strip and
not drop-shaped as Is common with
other horses. There has been a sug
gestion that this little horse only
12 hands high. is the living ex.
ample of the original ancestor of the
draft horses OF Europe. but it seems
highly improbable. inasmuch as fossils
of the draft type have been found

Bartsch, and his net revenue from the
fly industry for the first two days Of a
recent week was $24.20. When the
health board began Offering premiums

purchased about 100 traps and placed
them in fly.ridden sections Of the city.
Then he began making inroads or the

Different TYPES OF HORSE
Men Of Science Have Recently Taken

Horse breeding has been followed
as trade ever since animals were
first domesticated. but the study OF
types has only quite recently been
taken up by men of science with n
view Of ascertaining the origin OF the
species and to differentiate their
characteristics. AS a result Of this
study, based upon these anatomical
differences and variations which have
resulted from wide geographical dis.
tribution, and which probably origin.
ated in early geographical times. It
may be accepted that there are four
families or species OF horses.

Eleventh u. 8. during the war. and in
1865 was separated from that regi.
ment and completed as a separate
regiment At the time Of the reor-
ganization Of the Eleventh U. 9. into
a liberalization regiment, the com.
mander was Col. f. ID. Reyes. 1t was
made up wholly OF volunteers and Off.
GERS appointed from civil life. the only
veteran at Fort Independence. where
1t was organized. being Orderly Ser.
geant Parr. Some sergeants from the
regular army were detailed to get the

that state. where 1t remained for two
years on reconstruction duty. Lieu.
tenant Colonel Watkins commanded
the regiment until his death. March

troublous times in keeping the Sioux in
