Surprising Surprise Gifts. Wl I AT would you do if you woke up some morning in a small apartment, and had a notice handed yon before breakfast, too^— that an admirer, to surprise you, had shipped a line black horse, and that said horse was waiting jronr call ai the local freight yards!1 What Could She Do? the title of a play written by Gertrude ltd the Bdison leading woman, came in most aptlj here, for the surprised one was that film favourite. Getting a "white elephant " before breakfast, in the shape of a borse, so to speak, was especially annoying when one loves yea, loves one's auto with undying devotion, such as Miss McCoj does. For whal horse can equal the delicious excitement of tearing down a country road with the sky the limit ! . ' . Think as she could, the apartment offered no solution, so she enlisted an uuclefs establishment. The iincle was; as enthusiastic about the horse as she about her machine: and insisted thai equal pleasurable excitement comes from driving a horse. After much persuasion,' the unci. induced Miss McCoy to drive out the horse, but only on condition that the chauffeur would follow behind with her machine as she expected soon to tire of the ho So that Miss McCoy would get greater pleasure, be said, the uncle would ride behind in the auto. As they neared the Yonkers' race-track Mi>~ McCoy wished ick (•• her old love, and was preparing ut of the wagon, when the white elephant horse pricked u] ears and i quickly into the gate of the race-track. With a snort and ears laid back, away down the track thu horse flew, while frightened Miss Mi i pulled back for all she was worth. Around he sped past the equally astonished group, whi Miss McCoy frantically jerked her head as a sis for them to stop the flying h The secret was out it had 1 wen an -old race-horse, and nobody knew but thehorselniew. Down the track he pounded in a cloud of dnst and nroundagain be flew. The uncle dared not attempt to liead off the horse for fe -■•ill. Then suddenly he thought the auto after the flying steed. The sound of the machine seemed to act as a pacer and bracer, for the machine never caught up till the horse had sroue round the fourth time : then, with th lair of a winner. Mr. Horse slowed up. hid job well done, apparently, to his thinking. But you couldn't get Miss McCoy again to gainsay that horse-diivimrdoea not offer its own excitement. There is now a horse for sale yes. and cheap. I THEATRE •: li provides the mighty spectacle it claims to provide. ' Morning Post, TWICE DAILY 2.30 and 8. VOL. VIII.
