Christie on Thurs- day sold his valuable hunting horse, "Freddie", and whole outfit, to ?Mr. Thos, Swartz of Goderich, Ed. and his friend Al. McDonell were out for a pleasure drive when the new own- er offered a "handsome" price for tbe outfit, and Ed., without consider- ing AI's lack of desire for an extend- ed walk, jumped out, took the money, and surrendered the outfit, and then invited Al, to walk home with him, a distance of a mile and half. Not wishing to camp on the country roadside Al, was forced to agree. It was hard for Mr. C. to part with this valuable animal, but tbe money looked good and the shooting season of 30 days very short, so he decided to go out of the horse business, and will probably buy an automobile and join the vast army of car owners, whom he describes in his own pictureciue y language an d-- fools or million- aires."
