BULL FIGHTS TO GO.
Racing VIII succeed Them at Juarez,
Mexico.

New York. April 20.-Senor Don
Alberto Terrazas, the president of The
Juarez Jockey club, is an interested
spectator this week at the Aqueduct
race track. He is preparing to get to-
gether a small stable to race on east
ern tracks.
Regarding racing in the east, Mr..
Terrazas is silent, but he speaks con-
fidently of the situation in Mexico, ex-
pressing his opinion that racing will
replace bull fighting as the national
pastime in his country before many
years.
I'VE have nineteen years more to
race at our track" said the distin-
guished visitor land there is no Ques-
ton that the sport will improve each
season. The past meeting was better
than we expected. The attendance
was more than satisfactory; the class
of horses that raced wa, of the high
est, and better than anything else,
everybody was sorry to leave Juarez."
A meeting of the stockholders in the
Mexican course will be held here this
week and plans will be formulated for
the coming season. The purses will
be materially increased in the effort
to make the value of the events suffi-
GENTLY large to induce many of the
stables that usually winter in New
York to ship 20 Mexico.

Indiana Town to Reduce Circus Lii

Evansville, Ind, April 2O.--An ordi-

ell to reduce the circus license In
amendment that whenever q circus
gives a parade through the principal
streets that they will have their license
reduced $25 more, making it $175.
The men who are back of the ordi-

ing an attraction for the children, is
good for the grown folks as well, and
that the sound of the calliope tends to
wake up the dead ones and to bring
new life to the city. Most of the mem
bers of the council are said to favor
the new measure.

Washington. D. c., April 20.-Ne-

elsewhere are considerably stirred
up over report current that Presi-
dent Taft is likely to appoint a white
man to the position of register of the
treasury. Just now. the position of
register of the treasury is held by
William, T. Vernon, a Topeka, Kan,
negro. He will retire in June
For this position, several prominent
negroes throughout the country are
aspirants. One of them is ]. c. Napier
of Nashville, the righthand man of
Booker T. Washington. But the pres
ident is giving consideration to the
appointment of white man to the
place. 1t is expected that in any event
he will appoint negro assistant reg
lister. Cyrus Adams, the incumbent,
who has served for a number, of years,
is not expected to be reappointed.
Two or three applicants have arisen

gro politician.

That was way back in the sos. Pres
ident Cleveland put Bruce out and

Coupled with the report that a

Tylor is from Columbus. A number
of the negro politicians of Ohio have
stirred up a fire. under him. They
have carried their trouble to Wade
Ellis and to Charles P. Taft. 1t is
being urged that Taylor is not one Of
the vote getters, and that if any ne
gro from Ohio is to be named for
this position he should be one of the
kind that can go out on the street
and round up votes. How far the OBJ
tections of the Ohio negro politicians
to Taylor will be. cannot as yet be
told If it is so arranged that the
auditor is to be a white man, then
the assistants will undoubtedly be ne
groes. Postmaster General Hitchcock
is credited with being unfriendly to
Taylor.
