I'VE were the bouncers," said Broad,
but they called US floor managers"
who won the cake, an Englishman
or an Americana
Il was the judge. and, you bet, an
American won it. The English are no
good at that, anyway. and they were
never in it. We had lot of fun watch
ing the attempts of the English girls
won out, with an English girl as his
partner. He is a cousin of Nash Turner
and a jockey, and rides in France. I
cut the cake and saw to it that all the
Americans present got a souvenir.

Jones and Bert Dorman. Ellie Fay and
other American actresses were there"
Broad said that he was going to do a
lot of fighting the next year
Il see that McGovern is ready to fight
any one who will make 126 pounds. I
will meet him at any time that he is
ready, and arrange a fight before the
club offering the best purse. We are
not quite as wealthy as Harris is and
a reasonable amount as a forfeit that
we will be on hand and that I will
make the weight. And 1 will be ready
to fight any time after three weeks"

Il had most enjoyable time. was
treated Splendidly by the English sport
ing men and racing officials, and 1 take
great pleasure in declaring that will

before 1 left England Otto Madden and
Sam Loates. the two best English
Jockeys, gave me a banquet at New
market, which was attended by 40 per-
sons, was the only American jockey
at the banquet, and 1 must say | felt
highly elated over the fact that ! had
such an honor extended to me. In all
the toasts l was referred to as the lit
tie Irish-American, and it made me
certainly feel happy to hear them
speak of me in such good spirit
rs it true you are to ride King Ed
wards horses next year?"
Yes, it is. Richard Marsh, who
trains for the king. has secured second
call on my services. for which I am to
receive a salary of $4,000. George
Blackwell, who trained the late Mr..
Pierre Lorillard's horses, will have first

a two years contract with him. Be
sides these contracts I have few
others, which, you see, will keep me
busy all the time"

tween $4,000 and sos, 600. / will get
$4,000 from the king, $4,000 from Mr..
Blackwell, $4,000 from Mr.. Daniel
Cooper, and easily $4,000 from other
outside mounts"
What did you earn riding horses in
England this year?"
Il made within a few hundred dollars
of $4,000. L had an excellent season
this year. 1 rode in AS races all over
England, and won "a, finishing second
on the list to A Madden, an English
jockey.
Il do not wish to say anything about
the Lester Rein case, as it might be
construed as a criticism on the stew
ards. Reiff and 1 are friends, and I ana
sorry that he is in trouble. / intend to
return to England again the latter part
of February, so as to be on hand by
March 1, the date my contracts say
must be on hand"
DO you think you will ever ride in
America again?''
mo, don't think so. I am very
much pleased with my treatment in
England, and, as can get more money
by riding over there than I can here. 1
see no reason why I should make a
change"
How are the courses in England
compared to those in An erica?"
THE English courses are better. They
are all turf, and you don't get the dust
in your eyes like you do when you are
riding on the tracks in this country"

TO CLOSE THE sMELTER.
Argentine PLANT Will Close Down
About February l.

Argentine, Kas., Dec. 1.-THE state
ment that the Argentine smelter would
be shut down permanently about Feb
ruary made recently has been official
ly verified by Walter T. Page, the man
ager of the Argentine and Omaha
branches of the American Smelling and
Refining company.
Mr.. Page has just returned from the
east, and dispatch from Omaha quotes
him as saying that the Argentine plant
will only be run until the present sup
ply of working material is exhausted.
The bulk of the machinery in the Ar
gentine plant, said Mr.. Page, is of old
style. and to equip it with new ma
chinery would cost nearly as much as a
new smelter. The Omaha plant will be
run to its full capacity. and increases
are promised for the refining depart
ment of the plant
Mr.. Page says the men now working
in the Argentine smelter may find work
in the company's Colorado smelters.
