Pacing Wi ilk oar a D var.
Pacing horses are said to be coining
into fashion again, and the New York
Herald recently printed an acoomet of one
which really deserves to be famous. She
belougs in Oshkosh, Wis., and has been
trained by her owner, though little train-
ing WOS necessary, to pace against time
without it driver, This, as The Herald
observes, is u new departure iu racing
methods.
There is no pacemaker, no guiding, no
Whipping, no urging, no interface/we or
-prompting of the mare in any way. She
knows her lines and goes through them
without faltering and with every • sign of
full confidence itt her own knowledge

She is led to a point about a hundred
yards from the wire and is in perfect
action when she receives the word
"Go!" from the starter in the judges'
stand. On getting the worci the hand-
some animal quickens her speed, and.
around th.e freak she goes as though
running away. She keeps close to the
baler rail, „seemiugly Waugh instinct,
though she never leaves the frack,
whether it be inclosed or not.
Every -mile is paced without a break
and as evenly as though she were steadied
by it skillful driver. The novelty of the
performance and the dashing beauty of
the intelligent animal win admiration
wherever she appears, and. the finish is
always attended with enthusiastic cheer-
ing.
.A. notable *atm of the performance
is that the last quarter is always the
fastest, and no demonstration from the
crowd ever make laer lose her stride or
even slow up. After passing the wire
Marion seems to know that her task is
completed, and her bright eyes search the
track for the groorn, who stands ready
with cooling blankets a short distance up
the stretcb. When blanketed, she is re-
turned to the starter for recognition and

of conscious pride and satisfaction.

A well known artist received not long
ago a circular letter from a business
house engaged, in the sale of California
dried fruit, inviting him to compete for
a prize to be given for the best design to
be used in advertising their wares. Only
one prize was to be given, and all un-
successful drawings were to become the
property of the fruit men. Mter reading
the circular the artist sat doem and
wrote the following letter:—

"Gentlemen—I am offering a prize of

take part in the competition. Twelve
dozen boxes of each kind of fruit should

that is not adjudged worthy of the prize

sequently this city will be the gainer by a
factory whin will employ about 40 hands,
of whom aye or six will be brought here
from Belleville, and. the remainder will be
• employed here.

cured on Adelaide street west, and the
