THE BOER DELEGATION
Will be Received at State Department
 as Distinguished Visitors

Washington, April 30.-It can be stated that the persons composing the Boer dele gation who are about to sail from Europe for the United States this week will not be denied access to the secretary of state when they reach Washington. They will be received as individuals, just as was Mr. Montagu White, but with the distinct un- derstnnding that they are not recognized officially as a Boer delegation. In other words, Secretary Hay will treat them ex- actly as he would treat any distinguished foreign visitor without regard to nation ality, but will not admit their competence to enter into any negotiations with the state department.
 It is believed that the prospective visi- tors thoroughly understand the conditions under which they will be received and that instead of directing their efforts upon the government in Washington they will rather seek to influence 1t through the American people by means of an active Boer propaganda

 New York, April BOA sensational dead heat between The Gardner and Bangor was the feature of the racing at Acqueduct today. It was in the third race in which Bannock was an odds-on favorite Sea Robber made the running to the stretch with The Gardner close up and the others trailing, when Stratendot and The Gardner took command while Bangor moved up on the rail. At the last sixteenth pole they were on even terms and both boys sat down for hard drive to the finish. Neith- CT could gain the advantage and they pass- ed the judges head and head. The own CTS decided to run it off The Gardner was slight favorite and after making all the running won by a scane half length, both boys again driving through the last six teenth. Hamilton, who rode the winner, was cheered when he came back to weigh in. Summary
