Painted HOLSTERS of Paris.

Energetic measures are being taken in
Paris to put a stop to the coloring of lob
sters and crayfish which goes on at the

prosecuted in the police court for fraud
by adulteration, The object of coloring
the Holsters is, of course. to give them an
appearance of freshness after they have
been in stock for some time. An anus

of them declared that even experts can
not tell whether or not Holsters are fresh

GOOD RACING AT NEW ORLEANS
The Weather Ideal and a Big Crowd of
Sports on Hand.


New Orleans, La. Dec. IA -
The Crescent City Jockey Club
was favored with ideal rae
ing weather to-day and the attendance
was far in excess of that which had been
present at any day this week The
track was fairly good and just a trife
lumpy, owing to the rains of the early
part of the week, but it is drying fast,
and with a few turns of rolling will be
in most excellent shape for the events of
tomorrow, when the Traction handicap
will be the feature. The great influx of
sports who have come to the Crescent CITY
to be in attendance at the fights before
the Auditorium Club, assisted materially
toward increasing the crowd in the betting
ring and lot of money changed hands
which had been brought here to go on
the fighters. Among the notables were
Frank Ives, the champion billiardist; Capt.
A. c. Arson of the Chicago Base Ball
Club; Jim Hall, Parson Davies, Joe Choy-
inski and A. j. Levy. Tommy Shannon of
Lexington was new arrival to-day and
will be followed tomorrow by his stable.
Three favorites landed first money and
made it a profitable day for the talent

er in the fourth race and virtually gave
off at the post fully four lengths in the

When Argentina Whipped Britain.


DIR. Zebalos the Argentine minister
corrects statement recently made in this
correspondence that the United States is
the only nation that has whipped Eng
land during the last two centuries, and
says that his country is entitled to share
that honor, which is true In 1906 Lord
Beresford of the British navy attacked
Buenos Ayres with a force of 1000 men,
The viceroy fled to Cordova and left the
city to the invaders, but the citizens or
ganized and drove them out. Then Eng
land sent Gen. Whitlock with twenty ships
of war and 100000 soldiers to punish the
Argentines, but alter a brief but bloody
war the English troops surrendered, and
the flags and banners they carried are
now to be seen in the cathedral at Buenos
Ayres. The British government has made
many efforts to secure the return of these
trophies, but the Argentines will never
let them go.
