In u show window on State street a unique display lins been attracting crowds from morning until night. Tho usual contents of the w iniluw nre of an nrtlstlo nature, and form an effective background for a most Interesting col lection, of horseshoes dating back to the seventeenth' century. There have evldsntly been great changes In this cemmon article, and to horsemen, es pecially, the history of the horseshoe must be interesting, while to the casual observer It is amusing. There Is one collection which Includes the shoes of all of the winners In the English Der by, with their colors tied on to the shoes, and all mounted together on a plaque. This makes a central llgure, around which are scattered In most effective contrast the oldest and the most modern In wild confusion, show ing the great differences In the shapes and sizes of shoes In the various coun tries, even in the same epochs, and de signed for the best help to the horse In various soils and for vailous purposes. The treat wooden blocks, with Iron balls, which fit over the ordlnarv shoe of the horns which aio driven' ncrosa tho bogs of Ireland, are almost us Im mense as a snowshoe or the ski of tin northern countries, and must be as ef fective In keeping the horsps from unking out of sight In the dangerous bi'gs of the Emerald Isle. Some smaller shoes from Kilkenny, unci which are seventy-five years old, are as evidently Intended for hilly roads. In' close con trast to these unique shoos lie the sil vered shoes which' have been used on drover Cleveland's driving horses, winlo In the most astonishing contrast nie the great heavy shoep of tho draft . horvieH on the streets- of Liverpool In 1790, which look as If no living horse cnuld carry one, to sny nothing of four The calka on these shoes nre Immense, being at least an Inch long across the front, and the back calks being cubes of the same dimensions with a cross calk. Tho nail In one of the nail holes Is fully nB large, In comparison, with a gteat fliiu.ire head. Close to this lies the dainty, thin, almost, solid plate which the Arabian h'orse wears on Its slendst foot. The shoe, without nnlls, but with rinjrs hung to small rings, which nre a part ot the shoe, In tho lower ends of the shoe, and with a hinged ling which clamps upward, nnd Is bound to tho foot of a horse by a band brought through the rlnga, like un anklet, Is equally unique, nnd the shoe which Is made for snow climbing htiu gloat calks the size of railroad splke.s. In this collection the modern shoes will probably be favorites, ns thev contain th'o fac similes of shoes ot tlie favorites of this summei. John II. Clen try und Joe Fntchen, in silver, while the real shoes In which M'ailon Mills paced on her last visit at Washington Park race truck are the latest addi tions. These dnlnty shoes do not re semble the ridiculous shoes of the gov ernment mule In lSlU, which was made for climbing the yandhills of Nebras ka. VIXIMCTIVK.
