Professional Match
 Ends SensatiOnalIy

Me Thompson and Jack Croke split even in the professional gold match at the Country club for s15O. They divided the money, and both went on their way rejoicing. realizing that they had played the games Of their lives.
 The match was sensational. It looked as if Croke who was not considered in the running for the money, would win out after all. but on the very last hole Thomp- son played sensational golf and tied the score amid the applause of several hun dred people
 Bob Simpson, who was considered tho strongest man in the race by many. fell down and put yesterday after having tied Thompson on the first eighteen holes. which were played Saturday afternoon. He made the thirty-six holes in 166, tying Wilbur Oakes. Thompson and Croke each made the thlrty-six holes in 16O, an aver age of 40 strokes to the round of nine holes.
 Saturday afternoon Thompson and Simp- son tied for the eighteen holes with a score of 79, and every one expected a bat tie royal between those two Croke was two points behind, with score of S1, and Oakes was fourth with S4 strokes. It was an even bet as to whether Simpson or Thompson would win.
 When play commenced yesterday it was quickly seen that Simpson was not up to his average, and he soon fell out of the reckoning. On the other hand Thompson

 Croke was, however. the sensation. He made the eighteen holes yesterday in two strokes less than Thompson, gaining back the two he lost Saturday. With three to go yesterday afternoon Croke had Thomp- son five down, and with one to go-or in other words, playing the last hole of the match-Crol1e had Thompson two down,
 On the home green Thompson made a perfect drive to within a short distance of the green then made a perfect ap- proach shot and a put that was "bogie" from way back. Croke fell down on that green, requiring five strokes to make the hole, and thereby losing the match. It was heart breaking. nerve racking finish and the spectators were fairly breathless in watching it.
 Well posted golfers say that no players in the world could have played thirty-six holes on the Birmingham course. which is an extremely difficult one on account of the hills, in less than 160 strokes. Both Croke and Thompson played way wonder 'fn Bogie," and they were warmly ap- plauded and congratulated on the outcome of the match.

 All of the attention given this horse has not spoiled him. He is never fretted. He never gets excited. He is not a particle vicious. MT. Hummer states that he is kind and gentle. with a most docile and peaceful disposition. The horse has al- most human intelligence at times. His keepers state that after he has paced about a track, and got up full speed, he raises his head several inches and looks in all directions, when his admiring aud fence bursts into applause.

AN INCREASED DUTY
On U. S. Fine Shoes Advocated ny
Canadian Dealers.

fu the Canadian Tariff Commissioners
session here today was the request Of
Manager Reid of the HART Boot &
Shoe 90. that 10 per cent be added to
the duty on United States fine shoes
coming into Canada. He complained of
the extensive advertising which United
states competitors were getting in
magazines Which came into Canada
and this led To Hon. Mr.. Fielding to re
mark on tie value of printers ink.
Mr.. Ried. however. contcnded that
this was free advertising the United
States manufacturers received. He
complained that one result was that
Canadian makers were forced to use Il
certain patent leather and had to i'm
port it and pay duty on it. He also
complained of smuggling the better
grade Of United States shoes into Can
ada and told Hon. Mr.. Patterson of the
commission who is minister of Gus
toms. that he would give him Il pair
of shoes if he could buy Il fine pair of Ca
madam shoes in St. stephen, n. r.. which
