Misty Morn- ing trotted the entire distance in 5:13, over a very heayy track, Tho only advocates of winter racing are three—tbe gamblers, pure and simple; own- ers of the poorest class of thoroughbreds or those which have broken dewn and are use less on the big race courses, and breed who wish to find among a class of owners who cannot. ufford to buy good horses pur- chasers for stock that 'is, for onc reason or another, far from firswelass, and fit only to wade through the mud and slush of a winter race track.

The horse tamer has engaged Miss Wheoler to make an ascent and drop 4,000 feet to within reaching distance of the savage brute, when sho will throw a lasso over him and turn him over to Dr. McGinn.

Lexixarox, Neb,, April 10.—Special Cor- responcence to Tur Bee: The sportsmen are now in their glory, as the wild fowl are here in unprecedented numbers. The geese are even more numerous this spring than they were last year. They fly in myrinds over the town at morning and even- ing, their weird “honk, houk," sounding like a last melancholy remnant of uncivilization. Thoy ars resting midway ou their trip froimn the south to the Canadian inkes, where thoy will nest. For about six wecks, both in spring and summer, they linger in immense flocks along this part of the Platte, whose wealth of sandours they appreciate, Their daily habits are wonderfully regular; at day- break they fly to the fields, three or four miles distant, and feed on the grains for an hour or two: then they return to the river and stand’ solemnly” on tho sandbars. o never sces them swim, although sometimes unbend sufiiciently from their dignity to wade in the water. An hour or so before durk they again scek the fields to obtain their supper, and that accomplished they hasten back fothe river to pass the night. They seck no shelter, but sloep as they have stood all duy, boldly out on the open burs, They appear to lcad ordealy, well- regul i and countenance nothing ifling in their circles, Wild " in name only, being among wariest ard most sagacious of birds Pho most popular way of shooting them is from a blind behind decoys. The blinds are fously constructed according to the local- Iu the fields the sportsman froquently digs a hole large enough to contain his body. sets out his decoys, and then proceeds to en- joy his damp and cramped quarters until a Hock alights to inspect their lifeless proto- types. Occasionally a_screen is. constructod of brush or corn stalks behind which the hunter is more comfortably ensconse s0 thoroughly hidden. On the river bars screens are invariably re- sorted to as holes quickly fill up with water. junny sacks are used on account of their color harmonizing so closely with that of the sand. It is so nearly impossible to apBroach geese closely that they are almost invariably shof on the” wing. Before they beconro fa- miliar with decoys are readily attracted toward them. Tin decoys, the kind most in they look like geese from the o flock fiies toward and around n they hover directly above the ine “down vertically, the latter appear to bo gone, The gcese are confused and fly back and forth anumber of times, attempting to solve the phiesomenon, As & cousequenco hunters are sometimes able to shoot, half a dozen times at the same flock. But after a tew such experiences the ge become used to the decoys and the instant they perceive that the, fiock on the ground bas' disuppeared theymare frightened and away. On the saud-bars, where the geese stand all day, very successful shooting is done by two hunters acting in collusion. One re- mains benind a blind with decoys adjusted, and the other passes along the sands firing atthe birds witharifle. They rise frightencd, but are attractod by the demure decovs. A hundred in a day is not an unusual number for a couple of men to bag in this way. The physical discomforts of hunting geese are groater than with other game; one must lie cramped in the same position for several hours with the absolute certainty of contract- ing a cold or rheumatism from contact with the damp earth. The number of successful shots is less than with smaller game: if a man gets a brace of geese in an hour or so ho does well, whore, with smaller birds, he would be expected to bag a dozen “There are three principal varieties of geese: the Canada, the white brant and the speckled brant.* Al are shy, and all are afraid of tin decoys, ‘but the ' Canada_goose is the most difficult to shoot. It is a mag- nificent bird; his color is gray with a white 'collar under his throat and reaching to where his ears would boif he wero built like a man. He weighs from eight to fifteen pounas, The white brant is nearly white, the tips of the wings being dark and weighs from five to eloven pounds. But the speckled brant is a beauty, a sight to delight the eyes of any hunter, Heis covered with glossy, slate-colored plumage, speckled with white on the breast. Opinions vary regarding the delicacy of the flesh of the wild goose. The speckled brant is the ehoicest, but noue of them are extremely tender. 'The flash should be bruised thoroughly by a beefsteak pounder, parboiled for three or four hours, or until tender, and then browned in the oven. A sort of third cousin to the goose is the crane. He arrives in Nebraska about two weeks later and prolongs his stay accord- ingly. There are two kinds of them, tha blue, or sand-hill crane, and the white crane. The latter is the larger. They move in flocks of from four and five to twenty-five or fifty; their habits of feeding are similar to those of the geeso. The cranes are peculiar creatures; they fly higher than geese: some- timos thoy begin cireling, for amusement, apparently, going round and round,” each circle higher than thb last, until they are lost to sight, but _yelling all ‘the time. ~Tho westerners say ‘they *‘holler.”” The noise they make is incredibly loud, often being heard for four miles, Their strange cry can be heard when the bird is fiying too high for the unaided eyo w dotect it. The crane was obviously intended to “holler’ for his wind piperolis and curls around his wish-bone like the convolutions of a French horse. The flesh is not valuable as food. It is tender but possesses a peculiar sweet flavor disagroeably suggestive of toads and young suakes. The breast is composed of dark meat and the legs of white. Thoy stay around the sand-bars mostly—like the gees but wade out more iuto tho water, as th prodigiously long legs adapt them to do. These birds swim, in the south and cast, but thoy uever attempt that mode of locomotion in western rivers. Another bird found in large numbers on the saud bavs is the duci. There are mor varieties of them than any other one bird. They pause here, while migrating, and every kind, the salt-water ducks alone oxcapted, is represented during the spring and_ antumn, They come by thousands, varying all the way from the choicd’mallard to the humble mud- hen and shytepoke They are light-headed and giddy compas ith the stately goese; their havits are very irregular and they fly about from stream to pond and from pond to slough, being very indefinite in their ideas about the proper hour for returning to the river. They pnssess the merjt of being easy u; shoot but a retriever is necessary to secure them, A dainty bird that arrives in Jarge numbers about the midale of April is tha plover. There are two kinds, the prairie pigeon, which is very shy, and the Greater Yellow Legs, not 50 shy. ' Theso pretty little creat- ures are about the size of quail. The plam- age is a soft brown gray with iwhite breast, They go in pairs and are partial to newly burned ground, hundreds of them beiug found on a burned pateh of 40 acres. They are afraid of & man on foot but are not alarmed at the approach of a carriage. Three or four wwen drive out for an hour's shooting iand, firing from the carringe, kill 50 or 60 in that'time. They rest all over tho northwest, The flesh of the plover is dehcate and delicious in flavor; thay are extremely casy to shoot, theur flight being slow and wavers ug.

The = green baize ascended and revealed the actor, & second cill was made accompanied by cheers and waviag of handkerchiefs and this demonstration bofdg kept up Mr. Booth was compelled to appeat for the third time.

I again thank you, and hopa it will not be _for the last time. Au revoir; not adiew.” Theauditors became wildly en: thusiastic, and many of therm, instead of pro- coeding homeward immediately, lingered to watch the tragedian leave tho theater. When Mr. Booth had dressed and stepped from his room he found his support and tha attaches standing in a double line to greet him. All shook hands with him, and Miss Gertrude Kellogg, who was formerly a mem- ber of the company, stepped forward and kissed him. Her cxample was followed by Mrs. Beaumont Smith, wife of the leading juvenile. Upon opening the stage door the tragedian found a crowd of about a thousand persons waiting for his appearance. In his surprise he stepped vack, but recovering himself ‘doffed his hat in oguition of the cheers that greoted his advent. Police- men cloared a passage to his carviage, which stood some distanco down the street, and as Mr. Booth slowly passed through the crowd many people extended their hands. He clasped the outstretched palms of a few, but had to stop at that. One attempt was made by enthusiastic admirers to unhitch tho horse, but it was stopped. Mr. Booth then stepped into his carriage, and amid cheers and more waving of hats and handkeschiefs he drove off. L e That s ectled 1t.

Just at the top of a long hill, as we had stopped the horses to breathe, a farmer came up, a writer in the New York Sun.

One day the ebb tide left it roosting on the slip, making piteous calls to its more fortunate com- paniong who were sailing round about, floating in beautiful ecircles and executing all the pretty movements that only a seagull can with two perfect wings. Suddenly a big white fellow with gray trimmings darted down and picked up & morsel of food that was floating sea- ward. As soon. aé he secured it he flow to the slip where the cripple rested, and deposited the morsel in front of his less fortunate brother, proceeded to dine, of- foring no objection when the cripple partook of the food, but making a r- ous attack on anyof the other gulls that attempted to conié near, ikt Hoodoos of Yetlowstone Park.

High up on the side of the moun tain and obscured from view at a short distance, lies a low, flat tract, or basin, | containing large nurabers of rocky pil- lars, shafts and spires, worn into the most grotesque shapes by the action of the elements. 'The forms of animals, human beings, churches, and a multitude of unimate and inanimate objects, can be traced in the rocks, the variety being limited only by the imagination of the beholder. Tha storms of ages have worn deep channels among the rocks, through which the visitor wanders as in a be- wildering labyrinth. It is a weird spot, and one never tires of threading its rocky mazes and gazing upon time’s sculpturings. e e The Girl Who Swore.

Then the rehearsal began and all of us watched to see what she would do.
