For the last few years the whole of the King’s stud has consisted of bays, and the most of the horses are prize winners from shows all over the world. Among the famous creatures are “Swmton,” Which His Majesty rides in the Row, and “Paris" which, in spite of No other horses in the world have such a splendld home. A long line of roomy stalls goes down each side of the main building, which is in the form of a quadrangle. The Mews has now a “popuatlon” of eighty-five; but before the Great War it housed one hundred and sixty-six horses.~ The fittings are of polished steel and brass, and every animal is worthy of its surroundings. Over each stall is a plate, bearing the name of its occupant. There are the special horses fOr the State coaches, the carriage pairs, His Majesty’s chargers. the Queen‘s horses and those of the Royal Princes. A friend of The Advance sends in the following clipping about the King's Horses. It should be of special interest to all who have enjoyed hearing Joe Ormston slng about the King’s Horses and the King’s Men.

These horses have all been specially trained to get used to the different street noises. Various articles are beaten to resemble the noises made in a crowded street, 59. that when the horses do take part in these Royal pro- cessions they are not scared, but can easily be driven and controlled by the coachmen. There are several horses in the Mews which take part. in special processions, such as the Lord Mayor’s show, and other big occasions when the King and Queen and their retlnue are in atten- dance. Quite different from all other crea- tures in the Mews is "Basuto," a pony given to the King by an African chief. He is so sure-footed the grooms believe that he could walk a tigh-rope. Timmins, Ontario RACTICALLY all other cars are sub- stantially higher in price today than last year. But prices of the new skyway style Studebakers of 1934 are still $265 to $755 lower. Studebaker is giving the greatest value in its long history in'these cars. They’re finer than the finest that Studebaker ever ofl'ered before. Come in and take out a 1934 Studebaker for a convincing trial drive. No othercar will do, once you’ve . driven a Studebaker. There’s a full 50 inches of width in the front seats of all Studebaker sedans. And that’s true of the low priced Dic- tators as well as Commander and President. Very few, even among the costliest cars. are as commodious in rear seats or front seats as these new Studebakers. Compare them all and see. GET STUDEBAKER PRESTIGE AND PERFORMANCE AT SENSATIONALLY LOW PRICES According to word this week from Sudbury. Frood'Mines is out to shine this year in football. In any event the special idea is to at least outshine the now-famous Falconbridge soccer team. Frood mines has lined up no less than seventeen football stars it is said. These include players of note from Timmins. Toronto, Montreal, London and other. places“ In discussing the team the other day, Jack Cullen, of the Frood Mines football club, the manager of the team, is quoted as say- ling:-â€"-“We haven‘t seen any of the boys playing yet this season. so we can't say how good they may be." There is general report. however, that .the Frood Mines team is a galaxy of stars. The Frood Mines club is stated to have as its chief ambition for the [approaching season the idea of knock- ing Faiconbridge for a row of shaky pins. They have the idea also of win- ning the Ontnario honours in football band then going after the Dominion ichampionship. Whether they can do [it or not is another matter. In any Ievent the hope and purpose of putting {the Falconbridge team in the shade is Ethe one big ambition in the minds of ’the football enthusiasts. If they can ! trim up Falconbridge that well be great, land they will .likely go on to attempt iurther honours. A glance at some of {the names on the Frood Mines list sug- ;gests that Falconbridge has every rea- Eson to“ be watching out for the final. 'A despatch from Sudbury. this week gives an outline of the names and pro- bable positions of several of the new men at the Frood Mines. Angus MacDonald, Toronto Scottish. is slated for outside right and A. Pugh, inside right. George Simpson, Toronto Ulster, will be at inside right,. and Red Early, of Toronto, centre forward. Bill Jimmy Lafrance, with London last year, is in the nets and .the back posi- tions are taken by Andy Rayne, Ulster, Toronto, left back and Cyril Meadows of London, right back. Bill Grasson, last year .wlth Toronto Scottish, is right half back; Dick Waide Montreal Carsteel,, centre half and Bill Campbell, Toronto Ulster, left half.

Three-Team Tie for Commercial Bowling Yes= Art, you will have to have a bet- ter bowling average next year, if you want to get in on the games; it means a lot to your captain. “We’ll carry on with our old crocks,” Taylor told an interviewer in a rather sarcastic tone. “We have all our men of last year exmpt one, Dougal Inglis. who played outside right, who has gone to the Frood. But we'll be in there, don’t worry.” The dope for the silver mug of the Commercial bowling league was very much upset last Friday. Gambles with an apparently hopeless chance to get in on ‘the' play-offs came to the alleys to show the boys they could bowl and win, due to the fact that “smoke didn’t get in their eyes." It is a rather imposing list of expert football players but the announcement of the list of players for Frood Mines, has not at all convinced the Falcon- bridge lads that they are in any way overshadowed or likely to be so by the Frood Mines team. Manager Charlie Taylor discussed the question the other day and was able to state that the Falconbridge mine team would have to be recognized as a serious contender for football honours.

Prepaied foi such a tax on the difference between $30 and the market price, news that the levy would be applied on the total price, came as a distinct surprise. It re- presents a staggering total to be col- lected from mines of Northern Ontario. Lake Shore, for instance. on the basis of the past year‘s operations would pay approximately $1,900,000. This, of course is based on the price of $35.00 an ounce prevailing at present. On the same basis taxation for the other five large producers in Ontario would be: Hollinger $1,563,000; McIntyre, $917,000: Tack-Hughes, $770,000; Dome, $735,000 and Wright Hargreaves, $613,000. This means that the six major mines in Northern Ontario will pay $6,498,000 of the levy which tliegovernment expects to collect. “The tax will undoubtedly be pro- tested. In addition to the large sums which will be deducted from the earn- ings of the six larger mines, represen- tations will be made on behalf of those mines which are struggling along. try- ing to develop their properties to the profitable production stage. It is to be hoped some reduction will be made before the budget'is finally passed and if the government considers the. tax imperative that a fair proportion of the funds raised will .be spent in the North where the revenue originates."

Connaug’ht Station, Ont., April 23rd. 1934. Special to The Advance. 'Mrs. D. A. Frood visited friends in South Porcupine last week. From Connaught ‘The developments of yesterday, and those now in prospect for the imme- diate future, concerning the gold tax, amply support, therefore, the advice in these columns that “panic selling” of gold shares should be avoided. It now appears that the market crisis, if yes- terday’s sell-off could be so described has been passed. There is even less cause for apprehension to-%day than formerly, in spite of the fact that cal- culations made in the meantime show to what extent the tax will impair the earnings per share on many of our high-grade and low-grade mining pro- “It is unquestionably true that con- tlnuance of the ten per cent. levy on many low-grade producers would put them out of the profit class, thereby shutting off a certain important pro- portion of Canadian gold output. Fore- casts that these producers will receive consideration not only ensure contihu- ation of maximum effort by those en- gaged in this development, but also assure hundreds of thousands of share- holders that their equities in these mines will be preserved. “During the day two events, which may result in material modification of the tax. transpired at Ottawa. One was the Conservative caucus and the other the reception of a delegation of leaders in the gold mining industry by Hon. Wesley A. Gordon, Federal Minis- ter of Mines. At both of these gath- erings the plight of the low-grade pro- ducers was set forth in terms that are understood to have been forceful, with the result that semi-official assurances are reported to have been made to the effect that amendments will be. intro- duced to ease the burden on low-grade producers. ”The day's market reaction was rea- sonable. The heavy selling lasted less than half an hour, just after the open- ing of the Toronto Stock Exchange Thereafter prices fluctuated, moving gradually higher until more than half the initial losses were recovered. Had anyone sold the gold share list short in the morning his position would have been uncomfortable. The total volume. of mining shares traded in amounted to to only 2,400,000 against a recent high turnover on the mining section of more than 5,000,000 shares. “Apart from that point. there was considerable modification of earlier cri~ ticism during the day. It was agreed. even by some mining interests, that the principle of a tax on gold production is legitimate; and non-mining interests, of course. welcomed the transfer of taxes from other commodities. “Out of yesterday's “Welter of con- trary opinions concerning the new 10 per cent. tax on Canadian gold pro- duction, one fact stood forth clearly: The low-grade producers will be hit relatively more hard by the tax than those which are working high-grade oresi An editorial article in The Toronto Mail and Empire on Friday last had the following to say in regard to the proposed tax on the gross production of gold in Canada: Believes Gold Tax Will be Materially Modified O. .
