CHINESE DRIED DUCK
NOT DRESSED POULTRY

WASHINGTON.-The favorite food
of the Chinaman living in the United
States is dried duck killed IN his home
country. The new customs court Of APP
peals Of this city was recently compelled
to pass upon the question whether this
food should be classed for customs du-
ties as dressed poultry, paying ) cents
per pound, or as prepared and presery-
er meats, paying p per cent ad valo-
rem. The Chinese importers have been
trying to have it brought in as dressed
poultry. but the final decision is againsc
them, the duck having to pay the -
per cent ad valorem rates.
The evidence before the board of gen
eral appraisers and the customs court
showed that the ducks are killed in
China by the million each year for ship
ment to Cinnamon in all parts of The
world. The feathers, head and feet
are removed, and the bird, either in
whole or part, is sailed and dried in
the sun. Fhe curing is so perfect that
the meat will keep for months either IL
peanut oil or dry.

Refined.
There has been no change in quota

cept quite at the close the Federal re
fnerv advanced to 5.25c. less lGc, all
other retners remaining at 5.I5c. less

still continue TO take orders.
The consumption of refined in July is
very satisfactory and ahead of last

heavy IN Georgia and Texas which
States are now supplying the demand
at the North. Fair peach crops are eX-
pected in the more northern States, with
the exception Of Michigan.
The important feature of the week,
however. is the strike situation at our
local refineries. The strike began. as
stated last week, at the H. & Z. House
Of the American Sugar Refining Com
panE. and extended during this week to
the Federal Sugar refinery at Yonkers,

finerv Of the National Sugar Refining
Company. and thence crossed the river
to New Jersey, causing partial stop

Company's refinery at Jersey City. The
Federal succeeded in ending the strike

with strikers has been attempted at the
other houses. Today the H. & Z. and

remain closed. while the Jersey City

CHEVY CHASE COURSE
Anderson and Thompson De-
feat Sargent and Nichols
in Brilliant Foursome.

A remarkable exhibition Of high-class
golf was given at the beautiful course of
the Chevy Chase Club yesterday, when
VIII Anderson and James Thompson
played thirty-six- foursome against
George Sargent and Gilbert Nichols, the
former pair winning by up and 3 to
play. The best ball Of the winning pair
was "a and the best ball of the four was
50. During the match Anderson turned
in a card of 81, which is two strokes
better than the record for the Chevy
Chase course.
From the time the match started in the
morning until its close in the evening par
golf or better was played by the clever
professionals. and the large gallery tina t
followed the players had the satisfa ction
of seeing the best exhibition of the popu-
lar Scotch game ever given in this vicin-
ity. When Harry Warden was here sew
eral years ago and played over the course
his exhibition was brilliant but he would
have been trailer yesterday with the
same card.
Play started in the morning and Ander-
son and Thompson won by one hole In
the afternoon the winners started at a
fast clip, getting the first four holes
each hole, and taking three out of the
four holes from their opponents Sargent
and Nichols, however, took the next two
holes in and 3 They won the seventh
role and reduced their opponents lead 10
one hole. Anderson took the ninth hole
for his side with two strokes again
running one under par. The tenth was
halVed in par, 1. and also the eleventh.
Thompson ran down d putt on the twelfth
hole from the edge of the green for a .:
tbs was also one better than par, and
won the hole for his side, pla cling them :;
up. The thirteenth and fourteenth were
halved. AT the fifteenth Anderson again
scored one better than par, getting the
hole at 4, and winning the match for his
side by up and :; to play. He won the
sixteenth in :: OF par Sargent took the
next hole in =. and both Nichols and An
derson succeeded in making the home
hole in y
The results showed that Anderson had
gone around in 81, CT two better than the
course record, and that the best ball of
the course was 50, or a worlds record.
The score:
