EC0RD OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The only hope the Commissioners have
iof prohibiting gambling at the Benning
race track IS by the enactment of the
bill WHICH passed the House last Monday
and Wh..n is now pending in the Senate.
The present law covering betting Oh the
races is practically worthless, they say.
The United States district attorney de-
cllnes TO furnish the police with warrants
to make arrests under the present law.
the reason being that under the court
recent ruling "bookies" who keep moving
are not violating the law.
Monday last Inspector Boardman. chief
of detectives, and ten of his plain clothes
men went to the track They made bets
and changed money with nine different
bookmakers at the track. recorded the
names of the bookma ker, his sheet writer
and cashier. and yesterday morning these
names and other information We're fur
nished District Attorney Baker. This effort
Oh the part of the District officials TO
break UP the gambling failed but the
Commissioners stated today they have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
have done their duty.

Riohter's Conducting.

Countless are the stories told of the genialty of Dr. Hans Richter Once while rehearsing Mozart symphony in which the first violins had number of delicate trills and turns to perform these were played too heavily for Rich ter. who said: Please, gentlemen. pianissimo! Queen Nab. not suffra- gettes." Again when on one occasion Richter was not thoroughly satisfied with the orchestral rendering of a scene from Tristan und Isolde' he stopped the rehearsal and asked for more dignity in the playing adding that Isolde was the daughter of king. not of cook On another occasion while rehearsing Tschaikowsky's ''Ro- meo and Juliet music the violoncellos have q very passionate melody to play Richter was by no means satisfied that the needful warmth of expression had been obtained. "Gentlemen. gen tlemen." said he, you all play like married men. not like lovers. ."-London it-BitS ..e.3 -s

 What kind of a saw?' asked the clerk.
 "Why," said the prospective pur- chaser, "I don't know; just saw Any kind will do. I presume"
 The clerk sighed. eff you only knew what you want to use it for, perhaps l could advise you," he suggested.
 What l want to use 1t for?" echoed the man in the golf cap. "Why. l want to saw, of course-that Is. my folks do."

 The man in the golf cap was sorely perplexed. ''No," he said 'I don't think so. We have no metals at our house to work on that I know Of"
