 prominent stakes which will be run for:— 

 Dixie stakes, the Gentlemen's Post stakes, 

 Grand Steeple Chase, Bowie stakes, four 

 mile heats. The amount of stakes aud 

 purses will reach in the aggregate $30,000. 



—A man bought a horse. It was the first 

 one he hud ever owned. He saw in a news- 

 paper that a side window in a stable makes 

 a horsed eye weak on that side; a window 

 in the front hurts his eyes by the glare; a 

 Window behind makes him squint-eyed; a 

 window on a diagonal line makes him shy 

 when he travels; a stable without a window 

 makes him blind. He sold the horse. — 

 Wxdha-nge. 



The Check Reck — Why is it that so may 

 of our farmers, and nearly all of our city 

 carters insist in using a tight rein on work- 

 ing horses y When a horse, left to his nat- 

 ural inclination, has a heavy load to pull, 

 he can best exert his back b'one in one con- 

 tinuous line, and this he will invariably do 

 if not prevented by r a tight check rein. 

 Some claim that it prevents a horse from 

 falling down, but when a horse falls, a tight 

 rein will most effectually prevent him from 

 getting on to his feet again. Try it without 

 the rein and see if we are not correct in our 

 practice and theory both. — Journal of tJie
