added an additional tax of 36 cents
per 100 pounds which IL exacted on all
live stock entering France under any

This unreasonable system of double

the horse trade between America and
France and particularly in cabbers on
account of their small face value. 1t

obvious reason that Paris needs few
perannuated cab nags, no buyer could
afford to undertake to engage in the
trade.
The Colorado live stock sanitary
board has issued the following circular
of great Importance to lamb and sheep
shippers:
1--WE will admit lambs for feeding
pens without dipping until they get to
their destination, where they will be
allowed to rest for about q week. They
will then be treated with the dip laid
down by government regulations twice
within ten days. On the eighth day
after dipping, if possible, these ami
mails must be inspected again on due
notice from the owner before they are
shipped to Eastern markets. All sheep
coming on or near the state line upon
arrival there, and again within ten
days of that time. All sheep and lambs
as mentioned above will be admitted
on special permits"
Stringent regulations adopted by the
board recently will possibly serve to
prevent the spread of scab to animals
within the borders of the state. The
board will adopt other methods and
regulations as the season progresses.-

that it has secured both of the existing

OF all riders on the public track at Gar

to depend upon the possible West Side
track, which is, however, practically es-
sured. The Ravenswooi course is under
the Y. NJ. G. A. and will positively stick
to the L. A. w. for athletic reasons. The
management of this track intends to give
a great number Of meets this season.
The Hands track, as 1t is called, which

Stoney Island Avenue. Is claimed by both

a large number Of meets from the chair

West, OF the West Side track, is delighted
therefore. with the prospects, as he counts
not without reason upon the full support
of the outlaw racing men for this city for
whom he will offer innumerable meets with
large prizes. For the amateurs he will give
prizes to the full limit of value. $50, and
they will receive orders for merchandise
instead Of overrated prizes hitherto so
common. Chairman Geriach has decided
that home is good enough for him and
will make his Office in Chicago in view
of the decided improvement, allowing his
lieutenants in the East to carry on the
merry war there.

Louisville, Ky, April 29.-Ten of the
more prominent of the American racing
men will start on what may turn out to
be a trip around the world when the pres
ent racing season is finished. For several
years the followers of the path have been
planning to go TO France in 1900, and this
trip TO Europe will form the first step in
the proposed journey. At the close of the
grand circuit these riders expect to go
South into Mexico for the holidays, sailing
from there to France via New York, which
city will be left some time in February.
At the close of the great Paris Exposition
they propose 10 continue their journey
stopping in South Africa for a time
