S1S.6S0.0O0, The deficit last July was
SIT. 100000
There were no extraordinary re-

and none will appear in the figures for
the present month. This decrease of
about $500, 900 Ia the deficit for this

ularly from customs. and a slight de-
crease In expenditures. The receipts
from customs alone will exceed those
for July last year by about $4,000. 900,
Those from internal revenue sources

FRENCH RACING METHODS.
Establishments That Compare Favor
ably With Any in the World.

Special Cablegram TO The star.
PARIS, December On. Edmond Blanc
has enriched the list of autographs given
by the visitors to the Jardy stud by that
of Mr. l.. Lazarew, the Russian breeder and
owner. He was recently shown over the
stud where Flying Fox and Adam are
standing surrounded by some of the pest
racing blood in Europe, represented by
choice mares picked from French and Eng
lsh stables, whose performances on the
turf have rendered them worthy of place
without equal perhaps, in the world Ad-
miral Rous thought that the Dangu STUD,
founded by Count de Lagrange. compared
favora bly, with any establishment of the
same kind in Europe. Since then Nj. Ed
mond Blanc has gone lone better ana
the famous owner of Gladiator would nave
hesitated at the expense and enterprise
which has made the Jardy stud what it is.
Mr. Lazarew afterward visited the train
ing Bile at La Fouileuse, where Dem
man has charge of the racers who have car
ried and will carry the colorS of the owner
of Flying Fox. On his way to the stables
he was able to have an idea of what pri-
waite enterprise can accomplish in the
stands and racecourse of st. Cloud, built
and laid out by NJ. Edmond Blanc. He Wis
tie dthe training galops within the ring
fence surrounding the st. Cloud course, and
he will return to his own country with an
excellent opinion of the manner in which
racing Is carried on in France.

Total.

The athletic leaders are now engaged in
summarizing the results gained by Yale
during the season and in taking stock OF
Among other things, the question OF foot
ball reform is being discussed. It is GER
tain that, while Yale may favor some mod
crate changes, such as the ten-yard rule,
which Walter Camp has agitated In the
past. she will not consent to any very rad
tcal changes in the game as now played.
Undergraduate opinion takes this view,
and 1t is also shared though not with such
warmth, by the Yale faculty.
For the present outlook Yales team for
the season of 1908 should be up TO her
usual high standard. The men VINO VIII
graduate are Shevlin and Gates, the ENDS;
Trip and Irwin, the guards; Hutchinson
the Quarterback; Finn and Quill, the full
backs But the men who will remain Will
form a strong nucleus for the 1905 team
For the line positions, Flanders will be at
perlter for one more year, Hockenburger
will be one of the guards and both Forbes
and Biglow will again fill the pivotal tackle
positions. Howard Jones who played so
we'll at left end IN the second halves of
both the big games, has two more years
la the Sheffield Scientific School. In the
game class Is his brother, Tad Jones, who
mas turned out to be one of the great
freshman finds of the year. With him

Knox and Levine for the other back fields

son. 30 Yale will only need to develop
"a couple of guards and a few efficient sub
.atitutes to give her strong team next
wear. The problem OF lack OF efficient
material will not be nearly - prsonang as

PRICE OF GOLF BALLS CUT.
A Move That Will Benefit the Play
ers. at Least,

A well-known manufacturer of golf balls
has decided to cut the price. In future his
dollar ball will go for So dozen, while the
$3.50 variety will receive 81 cut and the
SO brand will sell for So a dozen.
This Is the first indication OF a change
for the better In the price OF balls since the
days when the solid gutta reigned supreme,
when the best makes could be had from
So to 81 per dozen. With the advent OF the
lively ball and the doubling of the price
many amateurs found the game too expen-
sive. Some decided to quit playing for
time, but the longer they waited the worse
became the conditions. for instead of re-
action the trend continued to show an up
ward tendency.
Now that one of the manufacturers has
cut the price Ii will be interesting to note
that what effect 1t will have upon rival
concerns; which will probably either have
to meet the price or suffer the conse-
quences. Possibly they will get together
and buy the unruly one out. At all events,
golfers will be benefited for time at
least
