ointers ON BUYING and Handling a Horse

allows for occasional feed Of carrots, apples
and beans, as we'll as the interesting fluctuations
of the grain market.
In planning riding trips horse should always
have full hour in which to eat and digest each
meal. Except where a horse is i'll, over-heated,
or over-tred, he may be allowed to drink as much
he wants, and should always be watered before
he is fed, as well as the last thing at night, say
10 p m. No horse should be tortured by being
kept without water from p m. until q. m.
The English or fat saddle is the only ono ft

mounting or dismountng and is the only form
which permits every 70 obtain the true seat,
and is, Of course, by far the most comfortable
tree when horse falls with its rider. A saddle
cloth should always be used. Let the beginner
confne himself to snafle bit until he has
learned to ride without pulling on the reins, and
then curb-bit may be added. Space does not
permit a more explicit description and explans-
ton of the various details Of proper seat, stir
rup, spur, use Of the horse, etc.

responsibility for the welfare Of the children Of
Chelsea is shown by the equipment of the play
ground" Mr.. Durham continued. Were not
lying back, by any means, and asking the city to
take care of our children We neighbors OF Chel-
sea are getting together and solving our problems
ourselves.
"Our playground is to have large swings and
small ones, basketball courts, athletic slides and
other play apparatus. As soon as we have raised
$1,000 we'll open the playground. Two thousand
dollars is needed, and the neghbors themselves
are making every effort to raise this money. We
want small contributions and many of them. Some
OF the neighbors are putting little tin banks on
the mantepece, as they used to do in their Sun
day school days to save their pennies for the
missionaries in China, but now the small savings
are for the children of Chelsea. Some Of us are
arranging benefits and dances to help raise the
money. We have 5000 pledged already.
"The Hudson Guild, the Chelsea Merchants As
ISOLATION the churches, the National Biscuit Com
pany, and other firms and organizations Of Chel-
sea are each being asked to contribute their share.
1t is good investment, not only for the district,
but for the whole city. We learned long ago,
from the hard knocks of experience, that the dol
lars fail to spend fer Fairgrounds we are
forced to spend for hospitals, courts and prisons.
"The Parks and Fairgrounds Association of
New York City will supply playground teachers.
1t has been said that the providing of Fairgrounds
has been left too much TO the city as whole, and
has been unnecessarily heavy burden upon the
municipality. | think thai the Chelsea Associa-
tion has shown practical public spirit in making
the playground a neighborhood enterprise.
"of course there's nothing new about the idea,
a. I've said, but | don't know that actually doing
the thing-actually getting together and sacrife-
ing little to get good things, not only for the
children of our own families, but for the children
of the whole community don't know that that
has become exactly commonplace yet
by the way" said Mr.. Durham, "the address
of the Chelsea Neghborhood Association is 209
West Twenty-thrd Street, and we'll be glad to
have you help by announcing to the people Of
Chelsea and their friends what we're doing and
what We need"

sarrisd on a successful campaign for new schooi

"we admit" Mr.. Durham said eheerfully' tha'
our district has held the record for juvenile crime
IA the CITY but we are not ashamed because we
believe that this condition is not due 70 any III
terent wickedness in the boys and girls OF Chel-
Sea. We don't believe that our boys and girls are
any worse than those Of any other part oil 'he
city. On the contrary, we believe that their law
tssness was nothing more than instructed
energy. Chelsea has now and has had Tor years
less play space thar almost any other part oi
new York The children have been condemned W
Street play, and the freight trains Of Death ave
sue have been frightful menace TO life and nap

and our association has set out to prove II.
The members OF our association began by huhl-

~ LII games pastimes and sports worthy OF
IA the name are artificial work." said the
late wel-known author and sportsman,
Price Collier; what our ancestors did from neces-
sty we do because we find that vigorous use OF
our powers, physical, mental and moral, makes
living more agreeable. Our ancestors shot, hshed
and rode walked, cut down trees, padded canoes,
sailed boats fought wild beasts etc, because
they were obliged to that they might live. we
do many Of these same things-we call 1t sport!
In reality il is artificial work. The quality and
value Of all games and sports may be tested and
graded as to their respective merit according as
they develop in their patrons the qualities that
hard work develops. Health, courage, serenity
Of spirit, good manners, good nerves, tenaclty OF
purpose, physical strength, were the reward OF
the hard worker; those same qualities ought 70 Do
the aim of the good sportsman
Now it must be acknowledged that good horse
manship is capable of inbreedng some OF these
qualifications, besides which, riding is one OF the
best sports that has come down to US through the
ages Not only is it invigorating and healtn-pre-
serving, but the indefnable fascination and sense
of exhilaration in being astride OF anc mastering
lively and powerful beast, that did he but real
ize his own strength could 60 wherever ne wilea

act of keeping an active horse under complete
control, and at the same time having the knowl-
edge how to exact a willing and friendly suomis-
sion, lends an added pleasure to the game.
BY WAY OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE
DOUBTFUL.
Many horse lovers feel themselves deferred
from riding on account Of the expense but there
need not be an over-large appropriation and very
good sport may be had with an sll-round horse
in the country suitable for both driving and rid
ing. where time can be spared for feeding, water
ing and mis- general care. A horse about five years
old. sound. gentle and willing, may be had from
$3.50 I'D. The important point is where to hnd
him! So for the encouragement of the doubtful
IL NAV be confded that such horses are being sold
every day by dealers in our large eitiel. Go, how
ever. to the reliable dealer (most Of them, by the
way, being fully as reliable as their "mOre-hoiy-
than-thou" neighbors) and state the full require
ments and the price to be paid. And just mild
suggestion here: never approach dealer as
though you we're Diogenes and ne fuli-nedged
swindler, or try to beat him down on his figure,

"The firm that has given US the use OF the lot
on Eighteenth Street is an example Of the de-
velopment Of this neghborly spirit"
That firm, by the way, is shown by the city
records TO be the Consolidated Gas Company.

or take a too-knowing friend for added protection
and to help regulate prices! For this in the eyes
of a self-respecting dealer will relieve him IN
large measure of an otherwise sense OF RESPONSE
bilty and quite justly so.
Before starting in TO search, however, have a
distinct idea as to the sort of beast wanted, and
here the standard set by the United States Army
for remounts will excellent guide.
1.-THE beast should be a gelding, in good condi-
tion about four years old, weight from you 10
1000 pounds; height Is to 1873 hands; head small
and we'll set on neck; ears small, thin, erect;
forehead broad and full; eyes large, prominent
and mild, vision perfect, muzze small and fine;
mouth, deep; lips thin and firmly compressed;
nostrs large and fine, and branches Of under
Jaw wide apart where they join the neck; neck
light, moderately long, and tapering toward the
head with crest firm and longer than underside;
withers elevated, well-developed, and well mus
cled; shoulders long, oblique, and we'll muscled;
chest full very deep, moderately broad, and
plump in front; forelegs vertical and properly
placed, with elbow large, long, prominent and
clear of chest; knees neatly outlined, wide in
front and we'll directed back short, straight and
muscular; barrel large, increasing in size toward
the tanks, with ribs well arched and separated;
hind quarters wide, thick, long, full, muscular
and rounded externally; tail fine, intact and firm;
hooks lean, large, wide from front to rear; feet
medium sized, circular in shape, sound, with horn
dark, smooth, fine in texture; sole moderately
concave, and frog we'll developed, sound, Arm,
large, elastic and healthy"

In addition TO measuring up in general way
10 this standard, the al-round horse should be
gentle well broken to harness, willing, fearless,
and a good, hearty feeder

THE DISTRICT: "SUITS PRESSED WHILE
YOU WATT"
THE FIRST OFFICER ON AN AMERICAN SHIP
Is SMUGGLER.

Every day in the year there are thousands of
dollars worth of the four drugs with which this
article deals changing hands in that district
which lies between Sixth Avenue and Central Park
on the east, Twenty-thrd Street the south,
Tenth Avenue on the west and Seventy-second
Street on the north Particularly is this true Of
Seventh Avenue for few blocks north and south
of the point where il crosses Broadway, and the
cross streets north of Forty-second Street and
south Of Columbus Circle. It is in the Forties and
the lower Fftes where most of the Illicit drug
trafickers congregate to do business. The pedlers
with customers in Harlem, The Bronx, Brooklyn,
Queens and Richmond must journey to this dis
trct to renew their supplies.
To effect their sales the pedlers have employed
persons who 20 all outward appearances are repu-
table business men. The proprietors of small
tailor shops-"Suits Pressed While You Watt
are aiding to a great extent the unlawful sale OF
drugs If you get the opportunity to watch GER
tain of the customers who send their clothing to
anv one of a hundred or more tailor shops in the
district mentioned above, you will be surprised to
learn that it costs them from 81 TO SO to get
suit pressed, and you would be astounded at the
apparent pride which some persons take IN hav-
ing their clothing neatly creased.
A close observer would notice that the number
of these customers who paid such premiums for
freshly pressed suits were both men and women,
and if some day you could stop the tailor's delv-
cry man and search suit that he was carrying
YOU would learn the reason. Hidden away in some
pocket or seam you would find neat little packet
of dope. It might be opium, morphine, cocaine or
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-05-02

for as large q quantity OF opium, morphine heroin
or cocaine as you have money to pay for, and
with the payment in cash you can rest assured
that the drugs will be delivered to you. He will
take your order and fill 1t as broker would buy
you piece Of real estate.
Most Of the men who leave orders in this Office
are seafarng men, usually officers on the liners
that make New York or nearby coast city port
of call. They bring the drugs to this country,
where they are turned over to pedlers or big
wholesaler who supplies a number of pedlers,
the positions occupied by the international 60
betweens greatly aiding in smuggling the drugs
ashore.
THE FIRST OFFICER ON AN AMERICAN SHIP
is A sMUGGLER.
The last big shipment sent to New York by this
drug broker arrived on board one Of the biggest
transatlantic liners flying the American flag 1t
was brought in by the first officer of that ship.
The shipment Of drugs sold in this country for
close to $4,000. The order comprised 100 tins
Of Lai Yuen smoking opium, 800 ounces Of
cocaine, 1000 grains of morphine, 1000 grains Of
heroin and some quantity Of inferior smoking
opium. This order was an exceptional one, but
smaller ones are finding their way into New York
with the arrival Of almost every ship
Stopping the importation of drugs will not stop
the traffic unless every port in the country is
closed and every foot of the borderland 10
watched. To take the place Of the drug factories
in Europe, from which the pedlers have been
accustomed to obtain their supplies, syndicate
has established plant in Galveston, Tex, where
crude opium, run" into this country from Mexico
and South American ports, is being transformed
into smoking opium, morphine and heroin. CO.
caine is also being made there. In other cities
of the South there are markets where the drugs
are purchasable in quantity il one will pay the
price
1t Is a simple thing for agents sent out Of New
York to meet agents from these factories in the
Southern towns and return to this city with
drugs Undecided. Once in New York, the ques-
ton arises to how to get the drugs TO the
dope iends without detection. II is here that
the greatest cunning has been displayed.
To the ordinary mind the drug trade in New
York, the Illicit trade, is carried on in that sec
ton of the city to which the ordinary resident
is wont to refer somewhat vaguely as the East
Side This is not true. Practically every trans
action involving the Illicit sale of drugs which is
contaminated in New York takes place within
few blocks Of what is known the white light
district.

tion notice on the vote whereby the
council Tuesday night authorized the
controller 10 readvertise for bids for
81 ,7SS,000 worth OF bonds. Aid. Bur
ton believes that such unprecedented
action will impair the credit OF the
city, IL being the first time In the
memory OF the aldermen that bond
bids were rejected.

ness for the city 10 readvertise foi

ed that there had been misunder-
standing over whether the bids could
be sold at a discount. Matthew Finn,
who claimed to be the low bidder,

CHARTER BARS
CITY FERRY FLEET
Amendment Necessary Before
Dust Can Operate Boats,
Says Tarsney

II Park Commissioner Dust desires
TO replace the mosquito feet oper.
ating between the bridge approach
and the Belle Isle bathhouse with n
line of large ferry boats, municipality
owned and operated, he Will have to
go before the voters next spring and
ask their permission Assistant Cor
poration Counsel William +. Tarsney,
in an opinion written for the park
commissioner, holds that there is no
charter authority broad enough to
permit the municipality to engage in
the ferry business. There is. how
ever, an optional provision in the
home rule law which, Mr.. Tsrsney be-
lieves, would give the commissioners
the power he desires. II Incorporated
in the charter.
The boats now operated by private
owners to and from island points are
licensed and are subject 10 rules and
regulations laid down by the commits
sion. Last summer there was a great
deal Of bitter feeling among the nu-
merous boat captains and the com
missioner had considerable difficulty
regulating the boats This is one
reason why he wants municipal
ferry, and another is that a fleet OF
good boats would relieve the conges-
tion on the bridge somewhat. The
Commissioners figures that the boats
would carry 100000 or more people
during the summer season.
