the reseurcts and the advantages offered
here ler the extension of the present and tbe
estabt shment of new commercial and manu
facturing enterprises is el first Importance te
the city and a legitimate function of this
beard.
We bave projected a plan for such com
pilation and publication.
In pursuance tbereel and by the Invita
tion of your president, ene of the members
or this commlttee will present a skoteh el
such compilation lu part of an address te
be delivered before the beard en Tuesday

Towuwel.lve in. What It Has and What It
Wants "
Pur the preparation et this address and
as the basis ler the publication referred te,
arrangements ought te be made te collect
complete statistics et every branch or trade
and Industry lu Lancaster at once, and the
members of the beard are respectfully re
quested te aid this work and te commend It
te the cordial co-operation of all Interested In
promoting the moral and material prosperity
of the city.
Such an undertaking net only needs the
approval of the beard, but Involves a large
amount of labor nnd no Inconsiderable ex ex
pense. in projecting II, therefere, your commit
tee retipectlully submits a sketch or the pro
posed work end a plan for Its publication.
Accompanying this report are offered the
publications el somen her commercial bed Ien
In cities or i jrtenpeudiug xize and Import Impert
auce. It Is believed lire 9 ian be materially Im
proved upon.
The book should bn well printed and
tastefully prepared. Accompanying It It
would be advisable te have a small map,
showings general plau or outline orthe city,
of the streets laid out, aud tbe location of the
public and principal buildings and various
eluts el popular Interests , another map
or diagram sbeuld Illustrate the location or
Lancaster, with reference te surrounding
towns aud Its railroad laclllties.
The contents el the book, estimated te
cover about 1U0 pa.jes, should embrace a brier
history el the municipality, Its advantages el
location, resources el the surrounding coun
try, Its railroads, telegraph, mall postal, ex
press and general transportation facilities ;
plan of city government, system or water
supply, lighting, the sanitary condltiensand
regulation", and rates of taxation, building
regulation aud facilities, coat or rents, mar
ket mid household supplies, domestic ad
vantages, the capacity aud rates el hotels and
bearding heusea
The social statistics should make a reliable
enumeration el the present population . tbe
religious mid educational statistics, athe liter
ary Institution, humantarian agencles; pro pre pro
lesstelat and publication interests ; the num num
ber and classes et dwellings and ether build
ing", rer public business, resldence'er mixed
purposes.
Tlie commercial ilepiittnent should em
brace a cemplete premutatien el banking, in in
suranceand financial interests or Laucaster ;
number et persons engaged, capital em
ploy ed, business dene and general features
of eveiy branch of merchandising and ox ex ox
chauge. The toliau-e Interest should be made the
subject el iispeclal departmeut In Its relation
te agriculture, as well as te trade and manu
factures the Held, the ware house aud the
faotety, all being of greatconcern tn trade.
The trade In live stock. Its relations te our
surrounding agricultural Interests, te our
money market, transportation facilities and
local business should bn fully aet forth, aud
the etatistlcs of the farm, the drove yard
and shipping be carefully cellected.
The department of manufacturing should
comprehend a reliable exposition of the va
riety aud magnltude or the productive Indus
tries el the city, in gross aud In detail, with
tlie most nearly cou.plete statistics obtainable
of the auieuut of capital Invested, number or
hands employed, aud raw material con
sumed, the finished product turned out and
wngei paid, the sources Irem which raw ma
terial Is obtained nnd the markets lu which
we sell.
It might be well te classlfy the leading In
dustries under such heads as Ireu, textile,
lumber, Ac
Finally, deduced from these statistics,
there should be a department In whlali
should be set forth fairly but fully the In
ducements and ndvaulages, especially In
i jiiiparl-eii with ether cities, Air the location
here el manufacturing Interests, particularly
no-called " light manufactures," In the great
est variety.
Ills b9i!oved the publication and distribu
tion et an edition el 10,000 conies of such a
volume about February 1st, 16S7, will pro
mote the purpobe rer which this beard has
organized and your committee appointed.
It Is roughly estimated that the odltleu
con tern plated et such a work as has been
prejected would cost about fl.MH). or the ac
companying velume from Wllllamspert
there was published nu edition of 3,000 copies.
at a coat of nearly f 1,500, paid by Individual
subscriptions and by special subscriptions by
these ler whom Illustrations were luserted.
Twe thirds of this odltleu were distributed
Iree, nnd the balance neld at Je cents per

Your committee is or the opinjeu that with
Ihe co-operation or the members el thle beard
the work centeinnlated can be nubllshrd

Ihe Strand Exhibition el the Great llorse
Tauierat tha ItlnK-A Ooert Attendance.
Prof. Gleasen's lecture and exhibition of
training horses, given In the Lancaster rink
last evening, was el the same general charac
ter of that given Monday evening. The at at
tendance was mere than twice as large as en
the opening night.
The first horse Introduced was a fine look
ing but vicious black horse a shyer. It
fought desperately against being thrown, but
bad te submit and after a few minutes train
ing was thoroughly broken and followed the
Erofesser around the rink like a deg. Brass
amis, bass drums, tin kettles, waving flags
aud ether noises failed te Bcare him and arm
loads et loose paper thrown In bis face and
umbrellas opened and thrown ever his eyes
had no effect en htm. Indeed, be seemed
rather te enjoy thorn and proved himself te
be a geed horse either lu harness or under
the saddle.
The second horse was a bay belonging
te Wai. Piss, that bad been handled Mon
day evening. This herse had net only been
broken of all bis faults In a alngle day, but
had aequlred several tricks which he showed
en alter the manner el a trained circus horse.
He nodded his head for " yea " and shook
bis bead for " no, " and steed with bis lere
leet en a chair, and waltzed and laughed and
did many ether things showing his Intelli
gence and obedience.
The third herse eutered was Mr. Hart
myer's serrel, which bad been ou exhibition
en Monday evening. The horse was a
"shyer," but net a runaway, as was errone
ously ioperled. Plugs, umbrella, bass
drums, tin kettles, aud ether provecatlouB el
fright had no effect en him. He even raced
with comparative indifference the discordant
sounds et the brass band, aud a barrel et fire
crackers. He was trotted ateuud tbe ring
with a let of tin kettles tied te the spokes of
the wheel, wuicn as me vvneei roveivou rat
tied and almost struck the heels of the ani
mal, but he did net shy nor show nny evi
dence of alarm.
The fourth animal shown was a balker, a
most stubborn mare belonging te Uriah Bit
zer. Htie was very haul te conquer, balking
as seen as she was put in harness nud refus
ing ta move a step ; but by patient use et tbe
rope, the whip, aud the work or oemmaud,
she was finally subdued and trotted around
tbe rink as peacefully as an old rondster, and
obeyed Implicitly the protesser's command
te" whoa,"erto "Ket "I1-" T,ie cemplete
triumph of the professor evor this ana ether
berf-eH handled by him caused the audience
te cheer him enthusiastically.
This evening four horses will be handled
two of them unmanageable " kickers "

country for the express purpose of " doing
up " or " knecklug out " Prof. C!leaen.
A yueitlen of Tax iteftuiillng.
In lb. 3 the loglslature ropealed the taxa
tion en horses and cattle for elate purposes.
Notwithstanding this distinct repeal, many
of the county commissioners then &ud sub

turn et the same te the state tax authorities.
And tha tax was net only lovled, but It was
collected aud paid into the blnte treasury for

priety el returning this lax te the counties
has etten been discussed, but without defi
nite action twlng lakeu. If there was any
means w hereby the tax could be refunded
dlrect te tbe taxpayers who contributed if,
It would have been settled long age.
At a recent meeting of thestate beard of

discussed without the petition or solicitation
of attorneys representing the counties, and it
was unanimously agreed by the beard, com
posed or W. S. Stenger, secretary el the com

and M. S. Quay, state treasurer, te give proper
credits te all the countries that paid this tax
