AMERICAN RIDING IN ENGLAND. "3 i
A Sporting Writer Dissects Tod Sloano’l
, Elements of Success. . ,
Thousands who take only the most:
casual interest in the turf, but are al-
ways attracted by great horseman-
ship. are asking expert advice on the
intrinsic merits of the American style
of riding. A sportsman sends an in-
structive letter on the subject. He
says:
“Let me see whether I can give an
explanation of Sloan’s success. In!
the first instance I should say he is a
man of absolute courage: and it is
this which. combined with kindness,
wins the confidence of all the Iowa
animals and is the first essential of!
Horses are wonderful
judges of character. Secondly,
Sloan‘s position. exactly that of a
monkey on astick, does offer less op-
position to the air than the ordinary
seat of a horseman. In scientific
phraseology, it diminishes the friction
to a minimum. Again, this position
enables him to grasp the reins within
a foot of the horse’s mouth, and the
nearer the object to be guided the
more accurately can be applied the
directing force. Thirdly, Sloan, I am
convinced, recognizes the great fact
that if we are either in a train or in
a conveyance or on horseback we be-
come one with the moving mass ,if
we sit still. This is proved by the
well known fact that the Icireus rider
does not jump over the banners; he
simply lets his body become a 1n-o~v~
ing mass with the horse, and as he ap.
preaches the banner he jumps into
the air. The impetus which he has
obtained from the horse carries him
over the banner nearly as quickly as
the horse has travelled, and he alights
on the steed’s back, but if we watch
the bareback rider we shall see he
does not keep interfering with the
horse’s movements. He in etect says
the animal will do his part of the
work if left alone. Those who have
watched Sloan in his races will have
noticed how he jumps off rapidly, and
at once settles down on his horse,
and is not constantly changing his
position in the saddle. or interfering
with the special step of his horse: be-
cause it must be remembered that
each horse. like each man. has his or
her special mode of progression. Sloan
simply makes himself one with» his
horse in movement; he does not offend
the naturally sensitive temperament
of such a beautiful creature as a thor-
oughbred horse; he does not sacri-
fice a race for the sake of making an
artistic finish, but with unequaled
skill and judgment, and with a cool,
intelligent head he wins his races
when and how he can, always remem-
bering that friction means less of
energy, and that with interference
with a horse’s method means loss of
power and opposition to nature. For
my part, I am glad to see Tod Sloan
.on our racecourses. It will, I hope,
be the cause of young men who are
of lightweight, good traditions and
intelligence making jockeyship their
calling. There is ample room for
them, and they might serve a good
purpose.”

The soil is very rich. “'itli irriga-

The water supply is largely kept up
by the cloud belts. which even in the
driest seasons form almost daily over
the higher mountains, feeding the
springs there which are the life of the
land. But the rocky, volcanic nature
of the coast forbids the entrance of
great influence on the character of the
flora. The craggy hills and stony
shores have a decidedly desert aspect.

Euphorbias take the place and have
the appearance of the cacti of Ameri-
can deserts. Flesliy Crassulaccao of
the Sempervivum group are more
abundant here than in any other part
of the world. There are twenty-two
species of them which are found no-
where else. Such fleshy plants are
not confined to the volcanic wastes
and shores. They project from the
most precipitous and rocky sides of
the gorges. The urban llorn. which
makes Lnguna and other old towns so
picturesque, and which Bertholot de-
scribes as largely a duplication of that
of the ruins of the Coliseum of Rome.
consists conspicuously of fleshy-loavcd
Sempervivums and Senecios. whose
roots penetrate the tiles of the houses
and the stones of the streets. it .s
curious how many of these fleshy
plants have their leaves growing in
rosettes, producing a. similarity bo-

RENOVATOR.
.W hen the 'blood is contaminated, Nature does her best
to expel the dreadful poisonOus secretions that threaten life.
In discharging these poisonous secretions through the
pores of the skin much damage is done. This is not strange,
as the matter which contaminates the blood is often of a malignant, corrosive
nature. ~
Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator cures all skin eruptions by enabling
Nature to discharge the blood poisons through the natural channels. If you
are sufferer from impure blood, take this great vegetable remedy. Do not
delay. Remember that if the poisons in the blood are of such a virulent
nature as to produce awful sores on the body, the same poisons must be de-
molishing the internal organs in a much more terrible manner. You can be
cured by taking Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator surely and quickly.
“I- have been troubled with scrofula or something of
that nature for more than twenty years. Sores appeared
on my limbs, and the disease seemed to go to my stomach
and I would be sick. I tried many remedies which either
did me no good at all or made me worse. Last January
I was advised to tryyour Green Mountain Renovator. I
took about seven bottles, when the sores on my limbs
were healed and I felt well all over. I know that your
medicine has cured me. DAVID B. Fox, Charlestown,

' have been cured of severe blood poisoning, even of cases
of syphilis in an advanced stage.
