NEW TARIFF MAY AFFECT RACING. Ogdcnsburg. X. Y.. August 10. Customs officers here are awaiting instructions from the treasury department concerning a clause in the new tariff bill which allects horse racing in Canada. The Canadian tracks depend largely on American-owned thoroughbreds, and hitherto entries owned in the United fitates have passed free across the border and back again. Collector Daniels, however, finds no provision in the new law for the re-entry free of duty of American horses entering Canada for exhibition or lacing. His interpretation is that all returning live stock must pay full duties. Pending the arrival of advice from Washington several horses consigned to the Montreal race track are being held here.
