Caligula's victory in the St. Leger is another romance of the turf.

Caligula was last week-end purchased by Mathurdass Goculdas, the best known native owner of India. The prise was £8,000 (Gocuidas has never seen the horse as he belongs to a sect forbidden to cross the ocean."

CANNOT TOUCH STEEL.

PEOPLE WHO DO NOT FEEL PAIN.

I can touch nothing in any way connected with steel," writes a cor- respondent to a London daily paper. "I can knit with celluloid or wooden needles, but steel is hopeless."
