New York, March 13.-whether horse

be resumed was still an open question
after. a meeting of representatives Of
the racing associations at headquar-
tiers here today. g.. .-s.
"It is a difficult problem and so far
we have been unable to make any def
mite arrangements" was the announce
ment made at the conclusion of the con-
ference by Phillip J. Dwyer, who rep
resented the Brooklyn n Queens
County Jockey club.
1t was taken as a significant fact
that William A. Engeman of the
Brighton Beach Racing association,
which had not been considered in the
matter since the revival of racing was
| spoken of, was in attendance. The
others who took part in the discus
sion were August Belmont of the West

BIG Il. S. GAME
WAS CALLED OFF

Minot, N. D., March IA telephone
message from Supt. Louis P. Linn OF
the Kenmare public schools conveyed
the information that Willow City had
telegraphed them this morning to can
eel the championship basketball game
scheduled for this city on next Friday
evening. The message stated that a
letter, Of explanation would follow and
it is presumed that WILLOW City came
to the conclusion, after the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the Minot team Friday
night that Kenmare has the champion
mare by three or four points several
weeks ago or Willow City's home
floor. Kenmare's defeat was attributed
to the construction of the hall which
hindered them in making their free
throws, both teams scoring the same
number of field baskets. Willow CITY,
however, contended that they were in
the championship race but 1t is said
refused to go to Kenmare for a re-
turn game and a game was nnalIy ar
ranged to be played in this city next
Friday evening.

The Inauguration Of the Parcels
Post system all over the United
states and territories last Wednes
day was one Of the biggest thing:

the beginning Besides the lower
rate it has been found that in near
ly all cases where a test was made
that the parcels post packages beat
express packages billed to the same
destination by hours. From all
over the country comes reports Of a
shortage in the special parcels post
stamps owing TO the readiness in
which the people have taken to the
plan and began using this system.
A dispatch from Washington
showing that great demand for the
new stamps is as follows:
.'By direction OF Postmaster Gener-
al Hit, hcock the bureau OF engrav-
ing and printing today increased its
daily output of parcel post stamps
from 100000 to 100000
From practically every section OF
the country acquisitions by mail and
by telegraph are being made for
more distinctive parcel post stamps
Postoffice officials are positive
there is no danger of a tie-up of the
service on account of exhaustion of
the supply of stamps, as a sufficient
reserve is on hand"
Although the official report OF the
initial success of the parcels post
system in New York is not to be
rendered uutil after two weeks
trial Postmater Morgan has found
some defects which he believes will
be remedied to make the new SER
vice a success in the cities.
He declared that he believed the
parcel post law was detective in
that il did not permit small pack
ages to be dropped into street box
es instead of requiring that they be
mailed at one OF the designated
stationc Even a yeast cake, if sent
at parcel post rates, must now be
carried TO postofhce.
Mr.. Morgan also thought that in
due time the government would see
fit to collect parcels, as the express
companies do.

NEW YORK, IAN. 4 -President
Taft presided here tonight at what
he styled his own political awake "
He made the funeral Grafton ov, r
his political corpse; asked modest
praise for the deeds that he did
while he lived in the White House,
cited at length the causes that
led to his demise" and attacked
the enemies he held responsible for
his taking off.
The President was the only speak
er at the Republican "reorganiza.
tion" dinner, given at the Waldorf.
Astoria to more than 1000 Repuh
Leans from all over the country.
He spoke for more than an hour.
His defense Of his administration
was the legislature results it has
produced, his reply to pei sonal
criticism was that he had been
more misunderstood than blame
worthy. His attscks upon his polit-
ical opponents-conhned almost ex-
clusively to the Progressives-was
not bitter; hut sorrowful.
In spite of all this misrepresenta-
ton, the unrest that peesent day de-
sire for change, the President said,
he saw in the future a return to the
old ideas Of government, the awak-
ening of the people to an under
standing that social changes must

In the course Of his speech the
President made his first public refer
ence to Col Roosevelt since the
close of the campaign, asserting
that probably 100000 voters,
normally Republican, cast their
ballots for MIR Wilson, ''in order to
avert the danger of Mr.. Rocsevelt's
election"
The President said of the cam
paign: 1--WE were beaten in the
last election. We ran third in the
race. Why is it that we gather
here with so much spirit, and with
