ADDED INTEREST
 TO HORSE RAGING

New York, June 14.-In the early days of this week added interest will prob- ably be given the horse races in this vi- cinity Proceedings will be begun at once to test the constitutionality of the new Agnew- Hart anti-race track betting law Many persons qualified to pass judgement on the situation declare that without betting horse racing cannot thrive. and that the racing powers real ize the necessity of making some move at once to straighten out the tangle. In order to do this, it is said, three test cases will be prepared. Two points, it is declared, will be raised-whether it IS illegal to post odds against horse, and what in the eyes of the new law eonsti- tutes bet and to what extent private wagering may be ndulged in. The pres ent plan is said to be to have three well known layers of odds arrested so that general construction of the law may De had. The feature event of the racing this week will be the running of the his toric Suburban handicap at Sheepshead Bay Friday For this race, which is for 3-year-olds and up at one mile and quarter. the best horses in America are eligible to start for the $25,OO0 purse, among them Ballot, Colin and Celt of the Keene stable; Fair Play from the Bel mont stable Montgomery, Charles Ed ward Dandelion.

 Rev. H. c. Kegley preached a fine and appropriate sermon, full of patriotic truths and religious fervor He took for bis theme the necessity of religion in the welfare and prosperity of men and na- tons, drawing a striking parallel be- tween the American Revolutionary war and that of France, and the ultimate re. suits of the principles advocated by each. In burning and eloquent language he showed how the American republic under the influences of the Christian re- l.gion had grown and prospered, while that of France under reverse conditions ad gone backwards. His whole address was replete with patriotism and sound morality and was one of the ablest ana most scholarly sermons ever delivered in Ensley

 A call for a caucus of the New York delegation was issued for Il o'clocA tomorrow. This is expected to develop the strength of various New York nominees-s-erman Woodruff CorteI- you and possibly Low Informal can vases appear to make Woodruff the favorite numerically in his own dele gation. But the outside influence, lh- cluding that of the congressional ele- ment from many parts of the'eoumry, IS strong upon the New Workers to make sherman their choice. The availability of Seth Low appeals to the New York delegates at large owing to his pHsl- tfon as trustee of the Tuskegee negro institute and his recent work at the h cad of the civic organizatiot in seek ing to reconcile the issues between labor and capital. But outside of the delegates at large, MT. Low has not developed any noticeable strength.

 of the Next Week.

Chattanooga, June 14-In a resume of conditions in the iron and steel market of the south. the Tradesman says:
 The blowing in of furnaces a resump- ton of operations at cast iron pipe plants, soil pipe works and steel plants are the pleasing features of the southern iron and steel markets. While it is true that large proportion of the immense tonnage disposed of in the past few weeks was sold below SIP per ton, and no small amount of it under $11.5 per ton, No. foundry basis, it had the effect of bring ing about a stronger market. both as to demand and as to quotations, Southern iron-makers are not willing to dispose of their product now under SIP per ton. No. foundry in several instances con- manding $12.5 per ton, with indications of the product bringing even better price at no distant date.
 Several furnaces have been blown Tn this month, though so far the majority of them are on basic iron.
 The principa! event is the resumption of operators of the United States Steel cor poration Tennessee company in Ala bama. The steel plant, furnaces, rolling mills, coal and ore mines and other works will all be in commission by the 18th or 20th inst.
 There is a little demand for charcoal iron in the southern territory, the prod uct being quoted above $2O per ton.
 Cast iron pipe and soil pipe plants throughout the south are adding men to their forces right along, and are dispos- ing of the product at a profitable lig- ure
 Inquiry reveals a small amount of iron at the blast iron furnaces throughout the southern territory.
 The inquiry that is coming to hand now in the southern territory is from actual consumers.
 There is plenty of labor throughout the southern territory anxious for the gen- eral resumption at blast iron furnaces at mills and steel plants.
