IMPORTS FAIL OFF.
Predictions Verified In the First Month
or the Fiscal Year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The fiscal year
did not open auspiciously so tar as the
customs receipts Of the Government are
concerned, the total income from customs
in July being more than million dollars
less than in July of last year. The internal
revenue receipts, however, show normal
increase. and the total income of the Gov
eminent for the month of July last was only
about $3.50 600 less than in July Of last year.
It has been predicted in some quarters
that the high tide OF imports was reached
last year, and that this years purchases
abroad will fall below that great record
So far as the first month OF the
fiscal period Is concerned, this prediction
has been fulfilled. The total customs re-
ceipts last month were SIS lie, 507 as against
O,743 in July. 1902. The internal
revenue receipts were s2l $50, 743 as against
S2l ,8ls,i24 in July Of last year. The re-
Ceipts Of the Government from all sources
last month we're s48.6li SIS, as against
$40, sO5, 6sl in the corresponding month OF
1902
The total expenditures Of the Govern
ment last month were $50, 1888 1888. as against
$50, 1913, 5s7 Of last year. The deficit for July
last was, therefore, S7,776,6l2. There is in

SURPRISES AT MATINEE MEET.
SWIFT KEATS IDA HOLLYWOOD IN
CHAMPIONSHIP.


Az the New York Driving Club matin g
meet held yesterday ut Empire City Park only
once did the favorite on public form prove
the winner In this case IL was purely speCu-
lation. for the horse had not been started
this season. This was Sphinx s.. 2:O7, winner
OF Event 9. for PAGERS, and he outclassed
his field 80 much TINT there was really little
interest In the race
The drawing card OF the day was tho A. A.
or championship, trot in which Swift and
Ida HighwoOd were to meet again. While
Swift. by consistent behavior and many vic
tories. had earned the confidence OF the public
and should have been selected to win. the
wonderful fight of speed Ida Highwood has
80 often shown impressed the public with
confidence in her ability to win. and had
betting been allowed it is probable she would
have been the favorite.
Fortune favored the mare. rs she had the
pole. and when in the second quarter of the
first mile Swift was sent at her and she beat
him in 0302., IL looked az If she would win.
Then came one of her unfortunate breaks.
and she refused TO strike n trot until Swift
was 30 far in the lead that pursuit seemed
useless When Ida Highwood regained her
sroaad sh and whs sS ro.sd the sst ha
In l05x, she closed gap OF dozen lengths
and was at his wheel In 2:Wia.
The second heat was one OF the best con-
tests ever seen OH any track. Neith her horse
made mistake from word to wire, Ida High
wood assumed the lead and held il into tho
long to be remembered. With both horses
under a hard drive and out to the last link
Swift beat the mare by neck and shoulders.
The time was 2:0St..
Event S. for trotters. was scarcely second
In Importance or in, surprising results. Cor
Edgewood. 2:l2A. stepped to the front at the
word and won the heat without coming to 4
drive In 2lOs. This makes him a formid-
able candidate for the championship.
Still another surprise came In event q when
Equity defeated Queen Wilkes and trotted
the second and third heats in 2:ll and ::lO,3.
Another surprise came in event !. when
Brightlight, 2I9h., stepped right out in front
and won the hent, apparently within him
self in 2i4H But Ilderim 224I won the race
and trotted the deciding heat in 2l5. All
in all it was a day of surprises from start
