Show Cadaverous Steeds. Speaking of horses brings to mind the fact that if the world were scoured for odd, woebegone and solemn creatures of tbe equine family a collection could not be gathered that would match the specimens speci-mens that prance in front of Mayor Gleason's line of cars from Thirty-fourth street ferry to Calvary cemetery. These alleged horses are the funniest looking, most queerly behaved and most erratic in demeanor of any in this blooming country. It is said there is a heavy fine imposed on one of the mayor's drivers who allows one of the horses to fall down, because it would be impossible to ever get him np again, and the fine is for the purchase of a new horse. The amount of the fine is $5. -Brooklyn Times. |
