There are no data obtainable in this
country upon which eve a remote ap-
Proclamation could be made as to the
total of th, sums wagered in the course
of the year upon turf events. That it is
large may be safely assumed; but we
should doubt much whether the French,
in their comparatively recent fervor for
betting upon horse races, have not
largely exceeded the amounts wagered
in this country.
The figures given by a Paris CORE
spondent show shat 10 per cent. levied
on all sums staked in the Pari-Mutuel
machines amounted for the last four
months of last year to 2,026, $50 francs,
representing a total wagered of 101, 342,-
$50 francs or over 94,050, 900 in four
months. This of course is altogether ir-
respective of the sums wagered at the
clubs or with the large bookmakers, and
represents only the small sums laid on
the course with the smaller men of that

As Long as You Live

You will regret it, If. you fail to
see the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
Every one. who has visited it says it
is the grandest and most beautiful
display of the products of science,
art, and industry that mankind has
ever seen, and beside it all previous
worlds fairs" sink into insigniti-
canoe. 1t represents an expenditure
of two HUNDREDS millions OF dollars,
and we shall not look upon it's like
again in this generation. Only
three short weeks remain In which
you will have the opportunity to visit
it. To see, even for week, this
Worlds Fair, is to supplement your
education, no matter how good it
may have been, with invaluable
information. Rates of fare are
very low, and you can live in
Chicago as cheaply as anywhere in
America. You cannot afford to miss
the Fair. Get ready to go soon, and
then ask your home ticket agent for
tickets reading via "The Burling-

In view of the large amount of
American hay that is and will be
wanted in Europe this season the
following information. valuable to
hay dealers, is furnished by G..
Mcdonald, agent of the Nickle Plate
line:
England requires timothy and
clover mixed and will sometimes
take prairie No. and No.2. France
requires timothy No. l and No. 9.
Germany requires timothy and tim
othy mixed with clover. Hay for ex-
port must be perfectly cured and dry
before baling, as any moisture will
impair the quality; it must also be of
good quality, bright, clean and
sound, and hay that is put up for
export in bales is known as per
petual" bales, and should be pressed
to weigh as heavy as possible.
steamship companies refuse to ac-
cept bales with less than three ties
on each bale, as the handling from
cars to lighter and steamship re-
quires it, as the loss from breakage
of bales with two ties is more than
the expense of the third tie.-
