Andre, Count de Zanzic Here-He Takes Very High Position Regarding
 the Science He Practices

Andre" the Count de Zanzic is at 2112 Fourth avenue. All newspaper readers have heard something of this extraordinary student of the hand, who is chiefly respaa, sible for the revival of the interest in sts study. He is now on tour of the world
 The Count de Zanzic does not wish his name reputation to be associated with the vulgar palmists and fortune-tellers who profess to tell everything from a glance at persons hand. That is one reason why he insists on being called a student of the hand, and why he names his work the study of the hand. To criminal lawyer at his office yesterday he remarked that while it was deporable fact that the science of the hand has fallen into dis repute through charlatans, the study should not be thrown aside. Andre does not claim anything supernatural; his psychic force Is perfectly natural, and it may some day be utilized by scientific workers. $~s

Running Horse.
The famous running horse, Hymen,
and owner. Dan Connolly, arrived in
the city yesterday to begin training in
preparation for the big meeting on

animals out at Calder's park track yes
terday. Gold Bug worked half mile
in SO seconds. Ben Bolt worked
five-eighths of a mile in los, and Miss

with apprehension by John Chapman
and Iver Lawson, who go against her
on their motor tandem on Decoration
day.
The betting on the match race for
Saturday between Emma FOOte and

latter, although there will be plenty of

the winner. Pools viii be sold on the
