The Columhhi Chemical company re ceived a new team of horses from Chief J'. .1. Hlckey ycstcidny afternoon ut 2 o'elock. The team, whose weight iik Kresutcs 8,130 pound., will lie on trial for thirty days. The horse are almost evenly matched , In weight, size nnd color, which Is Iron gray. Permanent Mnn Meyers wave them their llrst trial about a.W) o'clock In the afternoon and Chief Hlekey, Mr. Cobb and several members of the company witnessed thei operation. The horses behaved well, did not seem to chafe In the har ness, and pulled the apparatus like veterans. Tom and Harry, us they will bo called, ate already siuik In the unices of til Columbia "boys" who have, seen them. Of course, they will have to be formally accepted by the authorities after a fair and satisfac tory trial. A week or two nucht to Rlvu a fair text of their capabilities. Then will cnme the long, tedious train ing for uulck and elllelent service, but 1'ermaneiit Man Meyers has had the experience with his former team and no douLt will quickly round them Into i form. The company for n few day will necessarily be mil of service as a cr.n sequence of the trial. The other team, Kittle and Fannie, aie now plnied at the service of the Crystal Engine com pany, of the central citv, where thov will prove as capable as they were with the Coluinblas. The company ie Rtetted lotting; them go, but as Perma nent Man Meyers remarked to Chief Hlckcy: "They are too llijht for our heavy apparatus and our ability to ie spond quickly will, of course, be ham pered by this fact, and the horses them selves would suffer by the heavy work. So wlint'd the use of spoiling a Rood team just to keep them." So the change was made. IVOtilTF OVFICHJIS. Tho Robert Morris lodg.
