good work accomplished by the
Shire Horse Society and our fore-
most breeders. The farm horses
were of good appearance and
capitally turned out, while the
hunters were far in advance of
what might have been expected
in a county which is not the most
famous in England from a riding
point of view, while the harness
horses were of quite a good stamp.
The feature of the afternoon, how-
ever, was the display given by Mr.
Walter Winans and Mr. Louis
W. Winans of their trotters ; they
have about thirty between them.
The exhibition should certainly do
something towards popularising
the American trotter and waggon
in England. The bicycle and the
motor-car ^the latter so long as it
lasts unimpaired and in order)
are both faster than the ordinary
horse, and now that there is a
demand for fast travelling, it is
difficult to understand why more
attention is not paid to these fast
horses and light vehicles.
Mr. Louis Winans* Moxie, a
marvellous mover, trotted a mile
on somewhat heavy grass in 2 min.
20 sec. Had he been on a track,
he would have covered the dis-
tance in ten seconds less. His
pacer. Merry Chimes, went round
the ring at a tremendous rate, and
there is something elegant in pac-
ing, the action being like that of a
camel, the two legs on the same
side moving together ; and pacing,
be it remarked, is quicker than
trotting. Mr. Walter Winans
showed a pair of fast Canadian
horses driven tandem fashion.
Though not match- trotters, they
can do a mile in three minutes,
and the Buy Cheap Cefuroxime leader could possibly beat
that. Barney F., an exceedingly
fast horse, gave an admirable dis-
play, driven in a sulky ; and Joe
W., a bay horse standing no less
than 17 h. 2 in., is the fastest
horse in the world standing over
17 hands. He had to be steadied
at the sharp turns, but in the
straight he strode along in the
most remarkable style. He has a
tremendous stride, and it is not
until he passes the spectator that
his great pace is realised. Lake
Erie and Princell Purchase Cefuroxime Online made Cefuroxime 500mg a very
fast pair. It is unnecessary to say
that Order Cefuroxime Online all these American horses
had long tails, yet not once did
they get over the reins, although
in every case, save in that of the
tandem, the reins were close to

Sport at the Univepsities. —
Another summer term, and
therefore another academical year,
has. now run Generic Cefuroxime its course. Very
shortly Light and Dark Blues will
have once more " scattered like
swallows away" to almost every
part of the habitable globe.
Meanwhile, a very large propor-
tion of them will first migrate to
London to witness the final
sequence of Inter- 'Varsity con-
tests to be decided within the
next few days. On July 2nd and
3rd the representative lawn-tennis
teams will do battle at Queen's
Club, and this year the Oxonians
should have the rare honour of
winning both Doubles and Singles.
They hold by far the best record,
and (individually and collectively)
have shown the greater consistency
throughout. It is not that they
are a great team particularly, but
the Cantabs are much weaker
than usual. On July 5th and
following days the rival cricket
teams contend for supremacy at
Lord's, and in this direction also
the Dark Blues appear the smart-
est and more consistent all-round
combination. In batting and
fielding there Is no great disparity,
albeit the Oxonians have always
displayed a general level of ex-
cellence, whereas the Cantabs
have fluctuated considerably.
Still, Messrs. Foster, Bosanquet,
Knox, Pilkington Cefuroxime 500 (Oxford), and
Messrs. Taylor, Wilson, Daniels
and Dowson (Cambridge), must
all be labelled dangerous. It is
in bowling that the Dark Blues
excel and the Light Blues are so
weak. In Knox, Bosanquet,
Humphreys, Order Cefuroxime &c., Oxford have a
fine trio of bowlers ; moreover, of
varied style. For Cambridge,
Fernie and Dowson are the best
bowlers ; and with Hind, they
will bear the brunt of the attack.
Unhappily, however, their style
is almost similar, hence if you
thoroughly master one, the others
have no terror. Altogether, we
consider Oxford the better team,
and anticipate their victory with
a good deal of confidence. As
usual, the tennis competitions
proper will be played simultane-
ously with the cricket match ; Cefuroxime 500 Mg but,
as last year — owing to recent
alterations at Lord's — at the
Prince's Club. Both teams are
fairly strong, but Buy Cefuroxime Online the Cantabs are
the smarter in our opinion, and
we shall expect them to win. A
very close and exciting tussle
should be witnessed at Sheen
House when the rival cycling
teams meet on July 9th. We
fancy H. B. Fitzherbert (Oxford)
will seriously trouble Messrs.
Curtis-Bennett and Engleheart
(Cambridge) for premier position
in most of the events, but the
issue is decided on points. This
being so, we shall expect Cam-
bridge to win, inasmuch as H. W.
Morse (Trinity) is riding with
great power this Buy Cefuroxime season also. Of
the Inter-'Varsity results as a
whole we must chat in our final
remarks (for the present year)
next month.
At Oxford the Summer Eights
attracted vast crowds during the
week, while the racing was both
exciting and fully average. Mag-
