Russia Innocent For Once In A Curious Tale Of Warships

Roses In London and Other Notes From Chambers Journal
Roses from the south of France are sold in London in November as very single tea roses with about 20 petals. Wired stems last in warm rooms, drying into everlasting blooms. They arrive via Paris, with chosen flowers fetching high prices while baskets of eight dozen to a gross sell cheaply. Control of street advertising in Paris uses taxation and public ownership to regulate boards, though enforcement is slow. In Guam, Governor Seaton Schroeder rides a bull when inspecting the island, a noted anecdote in Washington society.

Our Way to Ride and a Chinese Strategem Captivate England
An 1880s piece contrasts Ted Sloane’s riding method with English jockeys, noting their reactions and the rise of the American style. It highlights earnings and futures for riders like the Reiff brothers, Ural, Bergen, Dunn, and McLaughlin, then shifts to Rajah Suran’s era and a Chinese stratagem involving a nail studded ship to deter him, illustrating cross cultural cleverness and its amusing misreadings.
