Lazarev, who has been suspended for
year, dating from Aug. 20, for alleged
use of some unknown drug has won
seventy-nine races with his stable and
over 100000 during the last four or five
months. Keene and his friends say that
it is the only reason for the ruling
against him.
Keene was trainer last year for Hem
ry De Bloch, the millionaire of War
saw, and won $4,000 with a single horse
named Sirdar. He has already exceed
ed this, though the season is not yet

deposit of an equal amount Of lawful
money with any subtreasury.
Assuming, then. that we are in COM
parative health and in no imminent
danger of disease, l want to invite
your attention to the Importance of
a forward step. l have already stat
ed that we are the greatest produc-
ers i'm the world. The balance Of
trade in our favor nearly equals, and
occasionally exceeds, that of all other
favored nations on the map. We sell
billion dollars per annum to Europe.
Twenty per cent. of the people of the
world will not always consume rs
per cent of our surplus. The United
Kingdom, with only per cent. of
the people of the world, will not al
ways consume 40 per cent of our
gross surplus. This is not a political
gathering, and we are not expected to
have political desires; but we are eX-
pected to have pretty good business
sense, and to that business sense I
make appeal when l ask, how shall
we acquire more markets? There are
three ways suggested. One is to vol
unfairly and gratuitously set our doors
more or less widely ajar and permit
more freedom of importation, in the
hope shat other countries will set
their doors more or less widely ajar
and give us greater freedom of eX-
portation.
Another way suggested is to trade
compliments-tO exchange trade priVi-
leges-to set our doors somewhat ajar
for the special advantage OF one coun-
try on condition that it shall set its
doors ajar for the special advantage
of our people. Considerable has been
said along this line, but not very
much has been actually accomplish
ed.
II do not wish to discuss the merits
of either of these methods, but | do
wish to suggest a third, and l sin
cerely believe the only method by
which we will ever get our share of the
commerce of South American and
South African countries and of the
islands lying south of the equator.
If we ever secure the trade of the
countries to which l have referred, we
will first secure regular lines of COM
munication with these countries and
if we ever secure these lines assist
ance must be afforded Who of you,
owning steamship, would divert it
from participation in transatlantic
commerce where there is much to be
done, and send it on regular trips to
countries where we have little or no
commerce?
do not misunderstood me. I am not
mourning the defeat of any ship sub
sidy bill, but l shall mourn exceeding
ly the defeat of a bill, if any such
shall ever be introduced, which, If
enacted, would insure regular lines
of American ships, flying the American
| flag, and carrying American merchants
and commercial travellers, with their
wares and merchandise, the product OF
American labor, into those countries
| to which l have referred. Such a bill
must offer special advantages to ships
! plying between our ports and coun-
tries where our trade is undeveloped

Keene has been the sensation of Rus
sian sporting circles for a year or more,
and he has been accused of running
horse racing in this country, since ev-
erybody bet on his entries. When the
present season opened Keene selected
Irish Lad, a three-year-old sired by
Baltimore, an English horse procured at
a great expense by the imperial stud,
for the great racing events, and Irish
Lad won the Moscow and the Warsaw
derbys, besides other valuable prizes.
Keene's success was attributed by the
leading sporting journal of ST. Peters
burg to wise training and good riding.
The rival stables. however, were un-
willing to acknowledge that Keene had
won by superior training alone, and
had for months been trying to prove a
case of doping" against him and
eventually procured his suspension for
a year.
