READY AHEAD OF TIME
DENVER'S BIG CONVENTION
HALL NEARLY COMPLETED.

DENVER, Col. May 23.-June 6 the
Auditorium, where the democratic nation
al convention is to be held July I. will
walk out of the building with their work
complete.
1t will take a week more to clean up
and arrange the seats. and then the big
convention hall will be ready for the
public.
The construction work is now going on
rapidly. There is only one section of the
ceiling plaster left undone, and this will
be completed by Monday night.
All water connections are made and
part of the plumbing is now in working
order.
The roof is almost finished. The floors
in the main auditorium are complete and
the floors of the basement and anterooms
will be finished in another week. The
galleries are practically finished now and
the seating is being arranged.
Today a full force is endeavoring to get
the wings and moving floors connected
with the machinery which handles them.
This will require possibly seven days, but
when once finished the hall can either be
made into a splendid theater or a great
room seating 1900 persons All Of the
necessary material for the finishing is
now on hand save the seats. and these
are arriving daily by consignments At
the outside calculation the completion Of
the auditorium will precede the date of
the democratic convention by at least
twenty days.

AMERICAN HORSES ABROAD.
Our Thoroughbreds Favorites for the

it appears not at all improbable that in
stead of Americans looking to the old
country for sires and dams with which to
bring their thoroughbreds to a high state
of perfection. the situation may be re-
versed and English breeders will be
coming across To this side for ma
terial to strengthen the English turf.
Some of the most conservative of
students of breeding are of the opinion
that England needs the sturdy American
types just as much as this countRs
breeders find IL necessary occasionally TO
go abroad for the proper crosses for ths
native thoroughbred blood of America.
Scientific breeding is making Of the
American horse more sturdy and speedy
animal every year Rubio was sired and

The installation of Norman III IA
vorite for the Derby and of Rhodora as
the public choice for the equally famous
tilly stakes. the Oaks. marks a tremen-
dous concession on the part of English
bettorS to necessity.
Kentucky horses have been making
name for themselves in French hurdle
races this season. William Duke. the
American trainer for William X. Wander

picked up several well bred horses around
