It's a pleasure To tellour readers about
a Cough Cure like Dr. ShoOp's For
years Dr. Shoop has fought against the
use of Opium, CholoroiOrm. or other un-
safe ingredients commonly found IN

welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law
recently enacted for he has worked along
similar lines many years. For nearly 20
years Dr. Shops Cough Cure containers

Tbis would have given Parsons a

Three watches were used in tim

hotween S-5 and AS. The latter time
was given out and it was later dis
covered that this stop-watch was i'm

hand caused the watch to begin reg

Had this been known before the
time was given out, in all probability
the time would have been registered

In the race Parsons was off the mark
like bullet, into his stride from the

the race won from the start, but he

Won TROMP IN
LIME LIGHT

Los ANGELES. Cal, April e.-For
half an hour or more last evening
Boots" Darnell thought that that
classy equine, Won Tromp, was his
property. All day yesterday the willy
Boots" was dickering with Billy Nc
Kinney and after Durnell finally took
Mckinney up and agreed to pay
$500, the price asked, the latter con-
cluded that as he had the horse load
ed on the train for New York he would
take his chances on the horse shipping
in good condition and racing him on
the metropolitan tracks.
Mckinney will rest Won Tromp un-
til the Saratoga meeting, when he will
start him in all the all age division.
If he retains his Ascot form he surely
will prove bread winner for the pop
ular Billy
Out of 10 starts here Won Tromp
won 10 races, and smart race men
who witnessed his races say he Is the
champion aged horse of the California
tracks
Although an unsound horse it is
safe betting that Mckinney will get
him to the races good and ready. When
on edge Won Tromp can run a mile in
1889 or better with his weight up.
