At any rate the possibility is to re ceive a trial for the jockey club meet ing scheduled for their present sea son arc to be held while future plans in regard to racing in this state arc to be determined by the success of this test and by the result of the legal contest which the bookmakers organ ization is making to discover whether the courts will uphold the new law. Meanwhile the man of assured re- Lnonsibility is still able to make wrers with the bookies on the credit system by which no money passes hands at the track, all payments being made in Connecticut as the gam blers say, which means usually the back room of some Hrondway cafe, This system of course yields no rev enue to the race-tracks and as bets will be accepted only from men whose sporting proclivities and finan cial stability arc known it bars the great army of "pikers" with their two and live-dollar bets from whom a large part of the bookmakers' income was drawn. Whether the $200,000 which was estimated to change hands daily at the tracks about New York will now remain in the pockets of its owners remains to be seen. livcred to the Corn Products Comp any, more popularly known as the "gucoss trust." The price is exclu sive of the fifteen cents a bushel tar iff which I'ncle Sam charges on corn raised in loreign countries. I Ins wmild bring the price up to eighty six and a hiflf cents a bushel and would make it unprofitable to import corn if it were to be consumed in America. The glucose manufacturers propose, however, to ship abroad the products manufactured from the South American corn and hpe in this way to secure the return of all but about ten percent of the amount paid in duties. If die experiment works successfully it is probable that addi tional shipments will be ordered for use in the export tr.aJe of the glucose trust ami the remark'.-ilde spectacle of corn being shipped into the country where corn is king of all crops is like ly to continue until prices fail, pos sibly until the new crop is gathered That the public sales of pictures by professional art collectors and deal ers in New York are crowded by forged paintings, alleged "old mast ers" and spurious works falsely at tributed to famous modern artists is the asertion made in the July num bcr of Appleton's by Robert W, Chambers, the novelist, who is him self-an artist of ability. As an examp le of the recklessness with which the palming off of mado-to-order master pieces i carried on he tells of at tending a sale at which a very fash ionablc and wealthy woman purchas ed at a high price a portrait of Lord X bv the great artist Z Mr. Chamb ers suppresses names blissfully un conscious of the fact that Lord X died when the great Z was four years old, The novelist compares this to the exhibition in a public museum of the brush and comb of Charles the Bald and forty volumes of the works of William the Silent. Mr. Chambers holds, however, that the real respon sibility for these arc frauds rests with the large class of buyers, blessed with too much money and too little ap preciation of art itself, who purchase signatures affixed to canvasses with out knowledge whether the latter are good or bad. In the Appleton article he also takes a iling at the profession al critics and asserts that the average art columns of the newspapers and maeazines are filled with "twaddle" instead of giving information of real value to the public. For the first time in its history the United States is" to become an im porter of corn if a ship now on her way to New York from Rucnos Aires reaches port without accident. The bringing of corn grown on the banks of the Rio Plata into the gr,cat, est corn growing country in the world is not due to any fear of failure of the American drop, for the government report indicates that the corn belt will grow its usual 2,000,000,000 bush els or more.

The estimable lady herself, hav ing been dead for the better part of two centuries, had no direct hand in the, affair. It all came about because of a grant that she made to one of her subjects in 1703, when New York was a British colony, of the land er lying in Manhattan and Long Island, and known as the Sunken Meadows, The , recipient could not have claimed and great de gree of royal favor for the grant, as its name aimplics, is under water ex cept at low tide when a part of it is arc in restraint of trade and so con travene law and public policy. The matter came up in the course of the investigation of the ice trust. This inquiry, or rather the protracted series of inquiries into the business of this concern, has been dragging out its weary length for such a period that it is only when some incident as this occure that the public is reminded that this particular trust-busting ex cursion i still under way with little prospects apparently of ever arriving at anything definite. It is said that the ice trust officials have got so in to the habit of being investigated that they feel uncomfortable unless a force of official "experts", is engaged in going over their books or if any chance they fail to be summoned be fore one or another inquiring tribu nal at least once a week. These in vestigations have come to be regard ed as a little more than farces by the taxpayers who have to foot the bills inasmuch as it is practically unheard of fcr one of them to accomplish any tlv'ng.

LOS ANGELES, June 19- Her man Gcrson, head animal keeper in the East Lake Park City Zoo, was seized by both arms by a big male tiger while washing its cage yester d;iy. The tiger stripped both arms of his flesh from the elbows down and almost pulled his arms from the sockets. His wife came to the rescue and by iaming the beast in the eyes and breast with a pitchfork pried its teeth and claws loose. As the tiger's jaws closed on Gcrson' arm, the keeper, who was holding a small hose, turned the nozzle in the animal's face. The tiger placed a huge paw on Gcr son' arm and the keeper began to call to his wife wdio was in the Gcrson residence near the Zoo. The roar of the tiger had created a pandemonium among the animals and as Mrs. Gcr son sank a pitchfork into the tiger again and again the snarls and yells from the line of cages redoubled. The fight between the woman and the man-eater lasted several minutes, end ing only when Mrs. Gcrson directed the tines of the forg against the ani mal's eyes. With his arms released Gerson sank to the ground and was later removed to a hospital. Mayor Hasper ordered the bars of the tiger's cage strengthened.
