Bennett, won the great fllly stake of 37,175 here today. ly poor lot of two year old fillies that paraded for this rich stake. The six furiongs was run in 1.14, which is very slow. Sticker, on her good race in the Futurity, was always the choice at odds on, while Schoolmarm was well sup- ported at 3 to 1. Flying Footsteps, 60 to 1, went out to make the pace and continued to lead to the elbow, when Sticker and Schoolmarm passed her. All through the final furlong it was a hard drive between Schoolmarm and Sticker. 1In the last sixteenth School- marm gradually forged into the lead and won going away by two lengths, Woodcraft in winning the third race made a new track record for a mile and sixteenth by stepping the distance in 145 2-5, which is a fifth of a second faster than the best previous record. THE EEL TAKES MEASURE OF AILEEN WILSON. New Haven Mare Beaten Out in the Stretch—Runners at Charter Oak Today. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 8.—Small flelds in the three events on the card for the closing afternoon of grand circuit rac- ing at Charter Oak park diminished the interest, but the sport was good never- theles: h@e;mmng tomorrow runners from Sheepshead Bay and other tracks will provide the sport on the track in con- Dection with the state fair. The best performances today were by Ella_Ambulator, Carroll and The Eel, the last mentioned winning the free for all pace and purse of $1,000. The only opponent to The Eel was the New Haven mare, Aileen Wilson. The latter put up a good race, going neck and neck most of the way, but being unable to respond to & spurt in the home stretch. It was a Toyal battle except for the last eighth in each heat, In the 2.09 pace Ella Ambulator and hing Cole went four heats for first money, but the-mare was too fast for her opponent except in the first heat. llian King was withdrawn from this event, having gone lame, The 210 trot was won heats by Carroll against five other horses. “Alice Roosevelt, Prince C. and Henry Setzer were withdrawn as start- ers. » The ban on pool selling is looked upon as having diminished the inter- est in the meeting. this season, many horsemen declining to ship their horses here after having entered them. in straight olyoke ew Britain Waterbury Springfield New “Haven .

Reflection of Contradictory Reports from Harriman’s Bedside. w York, Sept: 8.—The speculative temper still showed a state of high strung sepsitiveness to news fromi the bedside of E, H. Harriman and the various price fluctuations of stocks during the day were the faithful re flection of nothing but the adyices which filtered through from the house on the top of the Ramapo Mountains into the region of the financial mar- ket. The news was exceedingly meagre and some of it contradictory. The price movement herefore was confused and subject to shifts in the current, with subsidence betwen times to a condi- on of practicn, stagnation in an atti- tude of waiting for more definite de- velopments. The limited volume of the transactions suggested that large oeprators are, as a rule, keeping out cf the marke*, with the nurpose of | ting it find itself. The day’s dealings were clearly made up in large part of professional transactions of secondary importance. That the condition of the sick unancier was regarded as grave ‘was obvious from the close attention 14uid 1o all news an the subject and to the growing disposition amongst finan- cial “associates to recognize the with more candor in their discussion for publications. It was considered that this policy was calculated to less- en the danger of shock from possible bad news. It was pointed out also that the absence of the guilding head of the Harriman propertles from close ap- plication to their direction had been long enough now to demonstrate the capacity of the organization to run with the substitute forces provided. In- surance against the future is sought in all cases. This line of discussion fo: tered the growing Inclination to ques- tion whether speculative markets were not iending undue Importance to the immediate news features of the sick bed bulletins, The character of the crop news for some time past has pav- ed the way for the poor showing of the government crop report published to- day. The fact that both corn and wheat advanced after the publication of the report was taken as evidence that the previous rise In prices had not adequately ‘discounted the falling off | in condition of corn and spring wheat. The growing money requirements of the interior are reflected in demands on the New York banks and in the fall- | ing off in the offerings of bank notes for current redemption, The treasury in New York is again draw- ge sums from the banks. These may have influenced the heavy undertone of stocks, but they did not prevent the early advance when Mr. Harriman’ state was reported improv ed, nor a sharp recovery when his phy- siglan again announced that he was better. Bonds were easy. Total sales, par. value, $2,878,000. United States bonds unchanged on call. 8TOCKS. Y ——— Allts Chalwers pfd. 20100 Amal 500 Am. Agricultural 460 Am. Beet Sugar. 1000 Am.

COBB HIKED 12 MILES S FOR FIRST “MONEY” GAME - How the Georgian Broke Into Profes- _ sional Ranks. “Ty" Cobb was born in Georgla‘and’ early decided to be.a semi-professional ball player. The difference between professional and a semi-professional that the former has a stated salary and always gets it, while the latter takes what he can get when he can get it. Young Cobb walked gix miles I the Hot sun to play hi§ first “money” game. When the receipts had been | counted, Cobb's share was one dollar and twenty-five cents. He walked six miles to his home and on the way decided that there was a_futuré in professional baseball. 2 The Charleston team secured him. | He was a_wild, erratic youngster who | could bat like a demon, but never knew when to stop running bases. It Is Just as important to know, when to stoP running as it is to know whei to be- gin.
