that Durnell would be reinstated to all priyi-
leges, and that the French Jockey Club would
gladly accept his entry of any horses and would
gladly permit him to ride. Durnell, after the
letter had been translated to him, was all
smiles, and remarked: "Now 1 will have a
chance to race in New York, and also show that
my horse McChesney is fully twenty pounds
better than Hermis."

with Herr, owns one Of the best stables of

Flour Traffic.
A strife between the Atlantic and the
Pacific routes over the first shipment OF
flour from Minneapolis to the Philippines
will undoubtedly result in the establish
ment of a new waterway route to the new
POSSESSIONS in the orient. : =:
One of the roads reaching the Pacific
coast from this city is expected to make
a rail rate Of 25 cents a hundred to the
coast on the Pillsbury- Washburn ship
ment of 1000 barrels to Manila. Thesrate
to the coast is now about 70 cents. a..
The rate to the Atlantic coast for ex-
port is 25" cents. Added to this the prob
able rate to Hongkong from New York of
50 cents will make the shipment cost
about 81 cents a hundred. TO compete
with this the Pacific steamship lines will
undoubtedly make rate as low as the
Atlantic ocean rate of 30 cents. This
would give the west route a time advant-
age with equal rates. -.
A cut from 70 cents to "a cents in the
cost Of rail transportation will insure
prominence to the demands Of the new

ity has come to make good the assertions

tation over their systems as against those

INSURLNG RACE HORSES
Practice Not So Common Here as in
Europe, Says G.. H.
- =. Shafer.


c. H. Shafer Of st. Louis, Il representa-
tive Of E. J. Arnold & Co., owners Of one
of the largest racing stables in the coun-
try, is now at the West Hotel in this city.
Speaking Of the insurance policy Of $112,-
900 taken out by M. w. Savage on the life
of Dan Patch, Mr.. shafer said:
Il was surprised at the amount of the
policy, because it is not common In Ameri-
ca to insure race horses, especially harness
horses. I do not suppose that more than
100 runners in this country are insured,
although certain firms make a practice
of insuring all their valuable animals.
Arnold & Co. carry insurance upon all
their good horses.
Generally speaking, however, the in
surance carried on American horses is
small. American companies will not in
sure race horses, and all the insurance
carried in the United States is with Eng
lish concerns In England it is not un-
usual to see a horse insured for 100000.

companies do not like to take this sort Of
risk is because the life Of the race horse,
especially a runner, is so precarious. A
runner that is worth $4,000 to-day (and
you can buy a very good horse: for that
amount) may not be worth a dollar to-
morrow. The average life Of a runner is
about six years, at least after that age

purposes. Some horses, however, are
good for years after they pass this limit.

A. B. Stickney, who was responsible
for the live stock rates of August, which
brought about the present hearing before

missions amounting to s3,500,00O against
an income of s2,451,95 received by the
