NEW YORK, Dec. 12—The managers of the six-day bicy coniest that finished last night Maaison-square Garden now admit what has been alieged since the first day of the race—that the | track was short. To-day surveyors went over the course, and, although | officially announced that the riders had not traveled a full mile for every nine laps, just how short each mile was bas not been given out.

Infatuated With the Magnificent Proportions of His Physlcal Dsvelopment. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. AUBURN. Dec. 1 Coroner Mitchell was called upon to investigate a peculiar case yesterday. A man giving the name of Paul Roselyn, but who, it is learned, was Paul Koseter, who had been stopping for several days at the Auburn Hotel, on Friday apvolied at Colonel J. W. McCul- lough’s private residence for rooms and he was given one upstairs. He was well dressed, apparently contented and con- genial. Early next morning McCullough heard heavy breathing, and on going to the man’s room found him in convalsions, lying on the bed with all his clothes on except his boots. Dr. Callan was summoned, bat, al- though strong 1estoratives were applied, life was extinct in a few hours. Nothing but an empty bottle, picked up outside the window, was found to indicate the na- ture of the poison taken, but the physi- cian pronounced the drug strychnine. The peculiar feature of the case is found in the following letter, addressed to the Coroner, in which thesuicide asks that his body be turned over to the dissecting table: Dec. 10, 18 1f on acco To all whom it may concern: of this accident ] lose my lite, I nave no and my resources are at present cramp There iS no one to communicate with tor ad- vice.

DOES HAGGIN OWN HAMBURG 2 | Report That the Great Colt Is to | Head the Rancho del Paso | Stud. ] NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Referring to the vurchase of the two-year-old Hambure for §60,000, a morning paper says: *“The | chances are that when facts are known it will be found that James B. Haggin was the buyer.” 1f Haegin now owns Hamburg, the pur- chase was made uudoubtedly more with the view io securing the horse’s services as a stallion at Rancho del Paso than for racing purposes, though it is to be pre- sumed that the horse will anyhow be kept in training during his three-year-old form. The Worlc to-morow will pub! a de- nial by former Secretary of t Navy | Whitney that it was he who purchased the great 2-year-oid Hamburg. “Lam not the purchaser of Hamburg,’ said Mr. Whitney. *I have not looked at bim with a view of buying him, inasmucn as Iam not going inio the racing busi- ness, While in Lexington recentlv I vis- ited the breeding farms ana attended the horse sales. “I purchased the several animals which struck my fancy, but they are not to be raced. The reports that connected me with the sale of Hamburg have not escaped my notice, but as I had already denied that 1 was to go into racing I paid no attention to them.” - CONEY 15LAND STAKES.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 The Coney 1sland Jockey Club stakes for 1893, includ- | ing all the old vopular fixiures, have been | announced, and with them comes the an- nouncement of the closing of the Futurity for the year 190).

Steamship Alice Blanchard Barely Escapes Being Wrecked off Humboldt Bar. EUREKA, Dec. 122—Humboldt bar has been very rough the past few days, the heavy southwest swell making navigation dangerous. This morning the steamer Alice Blanchard, F. Warner commanding, had a narrow escape from Leing wrecked. While crossing in the wake of the steamer Pomona, she shipped a big sea, wuich meshed in the after cabin, flooding the dining-room and berths and causing con- sternation on board. Repairs were made to- nd the vessel will be ready to sail north to-morrow. B There are seven schooners and five steamers bar tound, waiting for the break- ers to quiet down befere they can get to sea.
