DR.. J. ". Fewkes, of the Bureau of
Ethaology. has lately returned from a
tour OF Porto Rico In speaking OF the
changes that have come over the island
since American occupation he pointed
out the remarkably quick adoption and
spread OF the shine" industry
The first American troops who landed
on the island were accompanied by 4
coIored boy, a bOotblack from New
York. He soon had a fine business, but
in two months the natives who are IA
nous imitators. had caught the idea, and
the little native boys had learned the
art and were shining shoes in approved
fashion. The people Of the island now
have their shoes shined as often as the
average American, and are quite fas-
tidious about it.

with Fixing" Races at New
Hampshire Track Meet.

Followers of the trotting horse races
received a shock at the last meeting Of
the Board Of Review Of the National
Trotting Association. when they learned
that one of the most influential political
men Of New Hampshire was charged
with fraud on the trotting track at
Nashua. N. II. c.. j. Hamblett, Vice
President OF the Fair Association of that
place, a United States District Attorney
and Chairman Of the Republican state
Committee of New Hampshire. was the
man charged with illegal dolngs on the
track.
A driver named Bedoin was the chief
witness against Hamblett. He said that
the United States District Attorney was
the whole thing at a meeting held In
Nashua, and that he subsidized the
judges as well as himself In a race in
which Bedoin's charge, Sutton, was en-
tered. The horse was pulled. Another
horse named Gambctt and owned by
Ihomas Luton, of Rockville, Conn.

Been Taken on Matter.

Golfers Of America are anxious that
an international tournament of their
sport be held some time next year and II
is more than probable that at the next
meeting OF the United States Golf As
ISOLATION the matter will receive due
consideration Several clubs in the or
ganization have been enthusiastic over
the proposition and even though the big
association does nothing the clubs them
selves may raise private subscriptions
and send a challenge to the best play
ers abroad TO visit America.
The question was broached at the last
meeting OF the L. s. G. A.. but 1t was
laid over because Of an objection by
some OF the members to defray ex-
Penses for an amateur tournament, The
FOL Hills Golf Club is one of the most
enthusiastic on the international project

JOCKEY CLUBS
BECOME GENEROUS
Many of COney Islands Stakes
Have Been Greatly Increased
in Guaranteed Values.

The Coney Island Jockey Club, aside
from the announcement that the value
OF the Suburban Handicap will be in
creased next year. has decided that
other stakes will also be of greater
value. The club will add 10000 to the
Suburban Handicap, which will make It
foot up a gross value of $1,000. Then
the June Handicap will have its guar
anteed value placed at 5000. The Ad-
rance Stakes, formerly at a mile and a
half, will be reduced to a mile and
three-eighths and will have a guaran-
teed value OF 5000 instead of 5000.
The great Trial Stakes for two-year-
Odds, formerly a guarantee OF $50. 900,
has been increased to $4,000 with the
stipulation that the Coney Island Jockey
Club must add 5000. no matter how
much the subscriptions and ~forteits
amount 10. The Flatbush Stakes. run
in the autumn, will be Increased To a
guaranteed value OF SlO,OOO instead Of
5000. as formerly. Nearly all the other
stakes have been materially Increased
in amounts ranging from $500 to 81. 900
each.
The entries for the Futurity, the csti-
mated value Of which is $4,000 for 1905.

list of entries for the rich Saratoga

larger number OF nominations thar ever
before. Entries for the Foam Stakes
