MARRIES BRYAN'S DAUGHTER

Lieut.. Reginald A. Owen, of the Royal engi-

Careful perusal of the big newspapers that are
accustomed to print biographies of persons who

that Lieutenant Owen is anything more than the
26-year-old of London business man and is

The horse was ridden by Lopez, with a sheep skin and girth for saddle, and after lively struggle the horse gave up. Lopez was slightly injured in the pitching process but stayed with the bay until he surrendered.
 The seventh to enter was the gem of the performance. While all of the horses were wild and full of life, this one immediately awaken ed the interest of the spectators. The horse was roped with a full hind, but cleared and proceeded down the center of the arena to the band stand, broke through the fence and routed the crowd near the entrance to the hippodrome. A few minutes later the horse re turned to the field anu a gaucho placed the nooses over it's neck.
 Things frightened at once and as often is the gauchos ran into throw the bay, they were repul'e d The horse fought with all fours and added to the spectacle by eat ing small bits of the gauchos' pret' ty clothes. While four of the men were battling at the head of the enraged animal, Lopez mounted. When freed, the sleepy looking little felIow tore loose with beauli- ful line ot bucking and side steep. ing, with ail the variations requir- ed to amuse a good COW puncher.
 An interesting feature was the clever and innocent looking way the pony had of biting at the riders foot while in the midst of an aeronautic flight. After sev eral dozen vicious reaches for the booted foot of Lopez, the horse got a strangle hold and locked it and Lopez waited deftly into the air, hit earth and then bounced along over the prairie dog holes for few yards before the savage little beast, got tired and dropped his burden. Several toes on Lopez foot were almost severed.
 The laststwo horses were very good, but were conquered by theii riders Salazar and Quiroga. The men then gave an exhibition in cutting ponies from the herd and the last feature in the ring was bola throwing. This was followed by singing and dancing which took place in the shade of the south bleechers.

ARGENTINE "GuAcHOS"
Give Fine Exhibitions of Riding at the
 City of Mexico.
Mexican Heraldl

morning before the governor ot the Federal DIstric, Guillermot de Lam da y Escandon, and a party of gov ernment officials, riding experts and representatives of the press. The work done by the gauchos was throughly good and they proved the claims made of them, namely, that they are horsemen of great skill and daring, far beyond the average.
 Their roping was excellent and their riding was pronounceds fine by the experts present. The nine horses used in the exhibition were from San Luis Potosi and were far superior to those used Sunday afternoon, and the absence of a large and unruly crowd gave the riders a chance. Both riders and mounts made good.
 As the first horse, bay, entered the arena, it was roped and thrown by Mugica, impresario of the com pany, who was in the field in a business suit and derby Mugica appeared from the bleechers to be a spectator, but when his lasso tumbled the horse, he received the applause that was his due. The horse was easily saddled and Vuse mounted. The animal bucked we'll but finally weakened.
 MugIca r0ped the second entry, a black, with 8 full-hind, which successfully threw the animal. An English riding saddle was used and Salazar mounted and won the battle. The horse bucked wildly for several minutes and then sur rendered.
 A sorrel next entered the arena and the spectators had few min; utes' excitement as result of a wild throw. The gaucho handling the rope made the loop too large and passed it high, allowing the moose to close about the belly, With all fours free, the horse bat. tied savagely, and Mugica had diff fculty in getting aboard, but when he was settled on the animals bare back good exhibition followed.
 The fourth horse was a large Sorrel and as he passed into the arena he cleverly evaded the ropers, three of whom missed, and the horse proceeded at a gallop to the end of the ring. A moment later gaucho on foot roped the sorrel on a rear leg, but could not make 8 fall. The cleverness of the big black Argentine cow.horse was shown when he charged the half free sorrel and knocked him off his feet. Four gauchos ran in and in moment had the horse saddled and Dominto Tito mounted. The horse bucked hard, but lost.
 The fifth horse was roped and mounted without incident, but Leon, the rider, who was mounted bare back, and holding on by the mane, slipped his hold and drifted lightly to the ground. Leon landed on his feet, however, and didn' seem to mind losing to the game horse.
 A small bay was the sixth. On, Of the lassoing gang placed tht rope over both front feet and thil slipped to a half front, At the moment when the horse was abou to clear the feebla hold, one of thu guaChOs made Hong tackle anc landed on the hoTse's neck. 4 The,

NEW CAPITAL ISSUES
DEPRESS STOCK MARKET
Sharp Drop of Atchison Bonds
Affects Other Securities

NEW YORK, April 3.-Depression of
the securities market last week was
ascribed to a number of special causes,
but the most general factor in opera
ton was the growing evidence of con-
gestion of new capital issues, threat
ening the success of financial plans of
the railroads for carrying forward
decline in the price of the new Atchison
the market to a price that almost wiped
out the value of the subscription rights
to stock holders was the salient feature
in the bond market.
Following the sag of the New York
city 4A per cent to below the sub
scription price, the influence on the
bond market was bad.
The sudden death of Justice Brewer
had the effect of confusing ideas in
stock market quarters as to the effect
on the vitally important cases pending
in that court. The first impression of
probable delay gave place to expecta-
tion of a decision on Monday In the
American tobacco case after the chief
justice had announced that members
of the court would not attend the
funeral. Both suppositions seemed to
have a depressing effect on stocks.
Wide reaching effects were produced
by the collapse of CRANKY mining stock
in the Boston market, owing to the
disclosures of the conditions of the
property. Copper securities suffered in
consequence in all markets. The sharp
decline in American exports of copper
aggravated the depression.
