A CHANCE FOR OUR HORSE S.
An International Show 10 he Held
in London.


New York March For the first
time American horses can compete with
the English show horses. This will give
the owners of the champions in the diff
ferent classes an opportunity to see if
their champions are the equals of the
English blue-ribbon horses in the same
classes.
The following circular just sent out
from London explains itself:
The Crystal Palace Horse Show. Lon
don, England, will be held on May q,
80, and 81 next, beginning in the same
week as the Derby is run for ut EPSON,
the great race falling on May -.
In order 20 introduce an international
element into the exhibition and I'm hopes
of affording the possibility of a COM
parison between the best horses of the
two countries, the directors of the Crys-
tai Palace propose making several class
es for American-bred horses only. The
services OF an American judge OF posi-
ton Will if possible. be secured to
award the prizes in these classes. The
owners of American horses, however, are
invited TO compete in any other classes
OF the show for which they are quail
fed by the rules, which place no reStric-
tion whatsoever on the nationality of
the competitors except i'm the American
classes aforesaid. These open classes
will be judged by English judges.
With the view Of inducing American
exhibitors to compete the White Star

The Stationing of Canadian Customs
Officials Causes INDIGNATION,

Tacoma, Wash. March 7.-Great indig-
nation prevails among the 10000 men who
are scattered along the Skaguay and

the KlOndikers will consume while boat
building al Lake Bennett must pay duty.
So must every pack animal owned by
the freighters. and their feed for each
trip to the lakes. A: Lake Bennett
rental is TO be charged for tenting

$40 and logs for firewood or bodybuilding
% cents each. Twenty-Five dollars is
charged for every dog.
AdVices received today by steamer
Farrellon say that the klOndiers could
scarcely fare worse if the Canadian Off
GERS moved down to Skaguay and Dyea.
and charged duty on every American ar
ticle unloaded
Last week the Klondikers along both
trails held meetings at which threats
were made of marching together past
the customs stations, and refusing to
pay duty. Serious trouble seems in
sight. though it is hoped that the pres
ence of United States troops at Ska
quay will prevent bloodshed. The col
lection of duty on dogs, packhorses and
food. and The charge for logs and fuel
at the lakes are among the increased
charges Just put into effect in an appar-
