this afternoon, regardless Of track c0ndi-
tions as the first handicap of the week,
the Linda Vista, will bring out the younger
division against the older horses in the han
dicap division for a journey of seven fur
longs, and each of the seven events is filed
with horses Of improved class. The handi-
cap is filled with Joe Madden, of the
best 3-year-olds shown on the coast this
season; Adriuche, a high class and consist
ent hlly; Fleming and Mark Antony H.
from the Carman stable, Vox Populi Tony
Bonero and Cloyne. Inasmuch as all are
good mudders and have shown high class
over fast track this event stands out as
a feature that is on par with stake event
The third race is none the less attractive
as such cracks Hasty Agnes Old Timer
Lawton Virgins, John A, Donald MacDon-
ald Mark Antony II, Rockstone and Tony
Bonero are named as starters. 1t will be
at one mile and high weight is 10S
pounds sloppy going will not prevent the
winner making the journey in fast time
Another long race, which always is attrac-
tive, is on the card and a small field will
face the barrier The five horses named to
start will go nine furlongs, starting in
front of the stand. Every horse named to
start in this event is a good mudder, while
all can go like wildfire a fast track. The
last race also brings out good class in Nc
Chord, Toupee, Pinaud, Number One and
Auburndale, and at the weights the race
promises to be a difficult handicapping
proposition, regardless Of track conditions

The con. gressman had no socnrr pulled the bell than the door was rhrewn wide open and a tall. husky woman appeared. She never said q word. but grabbed the young man by the collar and shock him till she fairly loosened his teeth; then into the hall she took him and slammed the door.

 LOWER DUTY ON ZINC ORE

WASHINGTON, D. O., April 24.- Joplin, Mo-, zinc producers and repre-. sentatives of American smelters were arrayed against each other at a hea-- ing today by Senator Shoot, 60 whom the zinc schedules were referred by the senate finance committee. The snelters contend that one cent a pound duty on zinc would result in Mexican ore be- ing smelted in Belgium and that Amer ican zinc mills would be driven put of business. Indications are that ar agreement may be reached whereby the ore will be made dutiable at one-half cent pound and that ore containing 25 per cent or less of zine shall be ad- mitted free.
