HORSES APPEAL ID HUMANITY
 IN RIDERS
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

gested more direct methods, con servative resolutions were adopted by the convention of saddle horses held in this city Sunday night after church.
 Some of the horses present urged that primitive methods be used to accomplish the results hoped for, but the majority voted to appeal to public opinion, and a committee drew up the following resolutions:
 Whereas, several distressing falls have lately occurred through the ignorance of smart-alec boobery of. our biped and bifurcated astriders, and
 Whereas, it is presumed by the stable owner that those hiring our services are possessed of at least a modiCum of common sense and should be able to realize that a con- crete street crossing affords but a hazardous footing under the very best of conditions;
 Therefore, be it resolved, that we memoralize the general human public to the effect that they will pour con- tumely and spread obloquy, rail un- mercifully and sheer deridingly, and evidence deep disgust and spirited re- sentiment to, toward, upon and against any four-hushing clowns who force their mount to dash over con crete surfaces, even forcing us to wheel around a corner without other direction than a sudden jerk of the head to one side, thus throwing the mount off stride and balance, besides taking the eyes from the very place where and at the time when most needed; and
 Be it resolved, that the Misses and those who did not miss and are there fore Mrs, who from inadequate per ception of the practical manner in volved in attaining the floating feel ing astride the flying steed, be inn plorcd to ask the keeu-spitter in the employ of the stable to the end that our limbs be not jeopardizcd, and that their own forms and appurten- auces thereto be kept intact. While to the rider a broken leg or arm is not fatal, to the horse there is but one recourse, and that is the mallet or bullet, requescatin pace.
 Be it further resolved, that the public is herein informed that there have been many falls in the past few months, and that not only did one horse have his leg broken but the
 - rider, male, remounted the horse, after forcing the disabled king of the turf to rise, and tried to ride away. Some civilians nearby in formed the would-be Lochinvar it couldn't be done, you know, and put an end to the exhibition of scissor bill bone-headism
 Resolved, that nothing will be said about the young woman, no, lady flor no woman could have talked that way unless she had had the advant- ages of artifciality), who called her fallen and bruised mount names that accredited to the blameless horse the most depraved human vices. SC wounding the spirit of the hitherto gentle natured animal that he made 1t clear to the stable foreman that while as a faithful helper he had re- turned the silly creature safely to the stable: Never again for me! You can hang sign, For Men Only be- fore my stall"
 Resolved, that the City Fathers be requested to pass and enforce an ordinance relating to silly, sap-head, weak-minded, fatuous saddle exhibi- tions by auto-intoxicatcd, vanity sccthing, mirror poisoned, powder puffing boobs and bookcases. and the cooperation of a fair-mindcd, hu- mane public appreciative of horse flesh Is earnestly requested, especially that of our many friends who by their sane riding give Us pleasure as well as themselves.
