owned by w. R. Brown and ridden
by Lee King, took third money, $3.50.
Mr.. Browns Halcyon was awarded
the white ribbon for fourth place.
Rustem Bey, which had finished in
good condition and with one of the
best time scores, was thrown out by
the judges on account of lameness,
as was also the Norwich University
entry, Prince.
The result of the test is an unquali-
fled victory for the pure bred Arab,
the first three horses being Cf this
breed Time and feed consumed each
counted 25 per cent in the score, con
dition so. The first two factors were
mathematically determined, condi-
tion being the only factor left to the
discretion of the judges, who were
Major c. A. Benton OF New York,
Major Henry Leonard, U. S NJ. c., and
Harry Worcester Smith of Worcester,
Mass.

basis of so, pulled him down, as did
also his feed score, on which he OBJ

The Importance of these ccmparis
ons is that they prove the contention
of Arab breeders that the Arab will
do more work on less feed than other
breeds. Ramela, the winner travelled
the 304 miles of the test on 30 pounds
CT oats and "A pounds of hay. carrying
200 pounds, an extraordinary perfor-

Boston, Oct. 1S,-Distribution of
sugar throughout the country under
"a zone system is to be put into effect
shortly, Bigadier General John T.
Sherburne, chairman of the state com
mission on the necesaries of life, said
yesterday
New England in common with
points east of Buffalo and Pittsburgh
will receive sugar from Cuba. while
other parts of the country will be
served with Louisiana products and
that of sections manufacturing beat
sugar.
1--WE intend to provide for distribu-
ton along the wartime preference
lines" said General Sherburne. "The
sugar equalization board, a sub divis.
ion of the food administration has
recommended that bakers be allowed
20 per cent of their last years re-
quirements, confections, and candy
makers so per cent, and that similar
restrictions be made against bottlers.
Makers of preserves, condensed milk
and medicines will be given a full sup
ply"
Due to the extremely large demand
and the smaller supply, the sugar stu
alton is beyond the power of the com
mission to remedy, said the general
I'VE are doing everything possible to
get sufficient supplies for the people, -
he said.
The price of II cents a pound for
Cuban sugar will continue until the
first of next year, in the opinion Of
Chairman Sherhurne. A small quantity
of sugar from Canada is being sold at
IA cents because of the duty imposed
he said, and some Porto Rico sugar is
also on the market at 13 cents a
pound,
