Dec. 27.—Three banking in utions failed to open their doors for business to-day. The Merchants’ apital Trust Company, with a stock of $200,000: the Ameri- ings Bank and Trust Company, the Mechanics' Savings Bank, | institutions, allled with the | ‘named concern, have gone into fon. A receiver has taken e of the suspension of the Trust Company is said to over-loans on discounts. e directors said to a repre- sentative of the press that the three | institutions had ample assets and would pay dollar for dollar. The Merchants’ Trust Company re- cently absorbed the Memphis National and, it is stated, owns the con- trolling stock of the American Sa: Bank and Trust Company. This institution recently absorbed the Me- chanics’ Savings Bank. The suspen- sion of the three institutions caused little excitement in financial circles. It stated to-day that the suspen- sion of the Mechanics’ Savings Bank is only temporary, and that its affairs are in good shape. Officers say that the suspen- sion was decided upon because they feared a run when the doors were opened this morning, the public generally being aware of the bank's relation to the Mer- chants’ Trust Company. A condensed statement of the condition of the Merchants' Trust Company at the close of business December 26 was given out as follows: “Total assets, $3,665,055; indebtedness of every character to depositors, $2,132,319; all other obligations, exclusive of capital 2 cau \1en hants’ have been One of t stock, $889,058; cash actually on hand, C. W. Schulte, president of the Mem- phis Clearing-house Assoclation, made the following statement in behalf of the association: “Fifteen days ago the Merchants’ Trust Company applied for help to the Memphis Clearing-house Assoclation. The Clearing- house Assoclation appointed a committee to investigate the matter. The commit- tee went over the assets of the Mer- chants’ Trust Company as carefully as the limited time allowed, and the associa- tion advanced the sum of $160,000. “Subsequent investigation revealed the fact that while it was the opinion of the Memphis Clearing-house Association that the depositors of the concern are safe, yet it would take an extraordinarily large sum to pay all the demands. In the interests of the city and the depositors and of the various institutions of the city which for the last month have anticipated some such movement, it was deemed wisest to allow the concern to close its Major G. M. McRae, pmldem of the Memphis Savings Bank, said “I believe the liquidation to be the re- gult of taking on too much business by the Merchants' Trust Company, too much spreading out and too larxe advances in purchasing other properties.” NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—According to a | recent statement, the Merchants’ Trust Company of Memphis, Tenn., owed de- positors $605,000.

The free handicap at six furlongs, for which Masterson was heavily played at a short price, was won by Loyal Front, the long- est-priced horse in the race. Loyal Front came from the rear in the stretch and in a hot contest outgamed the favorite, win- ing by a neck. The fourth race resulted in a serious- looking accident. As the horses were coming down the stretch opposite the pacddock Jockey Kent, on Luckett, made an attempt to get through and was badly jammed. Kent was thrown violently to the ground, and was stepped on by Har- bor. He was picked up and carried into the paddock, where it was discovered tnat no bones were broken, and that he was uninjured, except for a bad shaking-up. Weather clear: track fast.

H. Grey being in the chair. The invited guests were Taliesen Evans, president of the Cali- fornia Association Football League and also of the California Association Foot- ball Union: the secretaries and treas- urers of the league, the union and the Referees’ Union and the chairmen of the executive committees of those bodies. During the evening Tallesen Evans presented the members of the Oakland Hornets' team the silver medals won by them as runners-up for the Union Cup last season. The recipients of the medals were: Patrick Burnett, goalkeeper; L. R. Gllichrest, right back; H. R. Elliot, left back; H. Bird and J. McGregor, right halfbacks; James Duncan I, center halfback; R.

Barney Schreiber's Two-Year-Old Dr. Gardner Given a Strong Argument by Ramus. BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. There was a great deal of discussion as to the relative merits of Pinkerton and Princess Titania, two starters in the con- cluding race on the menu yesterday at Ingleside. Pinkerton ruled favorite when the event rolled along, and the mare en- joyed second call. Hot air was passed out down the line, and even the clockers com- manded respectful attention when con- sulted. For a time it looked as if there might be a genuine old-fashioned horse race, for some sectional feeling cropped to the surface. Neither one finished among the first three, Albert Fir, a 30 to 1 shot, piloted by Le- roy Williams, nosed out St. George Jr., with Magrane, another outsider, a bang- up third, Pinkerton led to the stretch be- fore resigning, while Princess Titania met ‘with the poorest sort of racing luck. ADAMS LANDS YO SAN. Form was well maintained in the mud- dy going, three favorites earning brack- ets. A large crowd viewed the racing. Yo San, a 12 to 1 shot, ridden by Ad- ams, captured the opening sprint. The mare- was tiring perceptibly at the finish, but lasted long enough to beat Barney Schreiber’'s Angleta, the second choice, a length. Sad Sam, backed down to 6 to 5 favoritism, displayed none of his speed of bygone days, losing the show to Blumen- thal. Masedo made no showing at all in the sloppy going. Just like stealing. it, the smart set sald, when 8 to 5 was chalked against Dr. Gardner in the betting on the seven-fur- long two-year-old number. Radtke lifted the Doctor across the line first, but the finish was so close that many thought Ramus might be awarded the verdict. The books laid 10 to 1 about the latter, and Treubel made the youngster run the race of his career. Tenordale once again ran third. PROCRASTINATE A WINNER. Radtke followed this up by winning the six-furlong selling affair with Procrasti- nate, the 11 to 5 favorite. The gelding easily outfooted Mrs. Bob, defeating the filly in a gallop at the wire. Old Jerry Hunt took the show. Looking to outclass his fleld shoes to plates, Gateway annexed the mile and a sixteenth selling fixture without an effort. A heavy play forced the price of the brown gelding from twos to 3 to 2, and he was breezing in front of Bannock Belle and Christine A passing the wire. Gloomy Gus, a highly touted one, receded half a point in the betting and made a ragged' showing. Buchanan, an 11 to 20 chance, ran third in the mile-and-twenty-yard run, and Cloche 4'Or, a 12 to 1 shot, winning, gave the books a new lease of life. The favor- ite made all the running and then, fading away to a whisper, was beaten a neck and a nose. There developed a terrific play on Warte Nicht, which finished sec- ond, and while Bock did the best he could an older hand might have done better. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Radtke piloted two winners, twice second and once third. T. A. Davies was so impressed with Ed Sheridan when he beat Possart on was Tuesday that he bought the brown gelding from Barney Schreiber yester- day. Starter Holtman’s assistants will be at the Oakland track Monday, Wednes- day and Friday mornings between § and 10 to school yearlings, and daily at Ingleside from 12 to 1 p. m. Half a dozen of the Christmas book- makers failed to toe the mark yester- day, leaving twenty-flve firms to cut in. Some of the feather-weights will no doubt be on hand again next Sat- urday. Bookmaker Joe Blume, his brother Sam, Thomas Harmon and Frank Moo- ney, all well-known New Yorkers. were visitors at Ingleside yesterday. The association has offered a purse of $3500 for a special at one and a sixteenth miles, to be run on Wednes- day, January 10, 1906. It i{s designed to bring together Bearcatcher, Proper, Callaghan, Dr. Leggo, Neva Lee, San Nicolas, Lubin and FEugenia Burch. The latter mare is in training at Ascot Park, Los Angeles, and stands out as the best piece of racing hardware down there. Handicapper Horace Eg- bert alloted the following weights yesterday, which are Subject to change after the handicap to be decided on New Year's day: Bearcatcher Lubin a2 Proper 119 San Nicholas -110 Eugenia Burcl .19 Callaghan L1l4 Dr. Leggo 114 Neva Lee 100 Presiding Tu ge Hamilton of Ascot Park wired the New Callfornia Jockey Club yesterday that the horses owned by “Diamond Joe” Costen, and adver- tigsed to be sold at auction, would be reinstated if the sales were bona fide ones. The Los Angeles official added, however, that none of the horses would ever be allowed to race over Ascot Park. Oh, very well, Judge, per- haps big Ed Corrigan will receive them at New Orleans. As the horses of Joseph Costen were not reinstated since being ruled off at Ascot Park last season, they will not be allowed to be sold at Ingleside to- day. Orders were also issued by the New California Jockey Club officials to remove them from the grounds. If L. Willlams, W. Smith and two or three other riders that could be named were fined about §50 it's dollars to doughnuts they would be able to keep their mounts going just as straight as Radtke does. New York Wants American Derby. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Several East- ern turfmen have made the suggestion that the Coney Island Jockey Club or the Brighton Beach Racing Assocla- tion should make an offer to the Washington Park Club of Chicago to run the famous American Derby in this part of the country next year. ‘While it has been planned to run the Derby at Latonia it’is thought one of the two tracks named might be able to u;ecure it if a handsome offer was made. ————— Boxer Lundie Returns to Town.
