NOT FOB EASE AND ISOLATION "The He Declares. "Will Never Become Tne Oppressors" A Speech In New-York. Naw York, March 4. President McKIn ley, Governor Roosevelt and others addressed a banquet of the Ohio Society at the Waldorf-Astoria last night. The President discussed national topics, saying in part: 'We have had our blessings and our bur dens, and still have both.

We will Boon have legislative assurance of the continu ance of the gold standard, with which we measure our exchanges, and we have the open door In the Far East, through which to market our products. We are neither in alliance nor antagonism nor entanglement with any foreign power, but on terms of amity and cordiality with all. We buy from all of them and sell to all of them. and our sales exceeded our purchases In the last two years by over one billion dollars. "Markets have been Increased and mortgages have been Interest has fallen and wages have advanced.

The pubi lie debt is decreasing. The country is well to do; its people for the most part are happy and contented. They have good times and are on good terms with the nations of the world. "There are, unfortunately, those among us, few In number, I am sure, who seem to thrive best under bad times, and who when good times overtake them in the; United States, feel constrained to put us on bad terms with the rest of "After 33 years of unbroken peace camel an unavoidable war. Happily, the conclu-l sion was quickly reached, without a sus picion of unworthy motive or practice or purpose on our part and with adelessl honor to our arms.

I cannot forget the! quick response of the people to the coun- try's need and the quarter of a million men who freely offered their lives to thei country's service. It was an impressive spectacle of national strength. It demon- strated our mighty reserve power and taught us that large standing armies aref unnecessary when every citizen is a minute man, ready to join the ranks for national defense. "Out oi these recent events have come to the United States grave trials and responsibilities. As it was the nation's war.

so are its results the nation's problem. Its solution rests upon us all. It is too serious to stifle. It is too earnest for repose. No phrase or catchword can cancel the sacredc obligation it Involves.

No use of no aspersion of motives by those who dlffe: will contribute to that sober judgment essential to right conclusions. "No political outcry can abrogate ou treaty of peace with Spain or absolve from its solemn engagements. It Is th people's question and will be so until It determination Is written out in their en lightened verdict. "We must choose between manly doln and base desertion. It will never be th latter.

It must be soberly settled In jus tice and good conscience, and It will be Righteousness, which exalteth a nation must control In Its solution. "There can be no imperialism. Thos who fear It are against it. Those wh have faith In the Republic are against it so that there is universal abhorrence for i and unanimous opposition to It. "Our only difference is that those who not agree with us have no confidence I the virtue or capacity or high purpose good faith of this free people as a clvlllz Ing agencv; while we believe that the cen tury of free government which the Ameri lean people have enjoyed has not renaerecp them faithless and irresolute, but has fltgs ted them for the great task of lifting ur and assisting to better conditions-those dlsj tant peoples who have through the lssuel of battle become our wards.

And, breaking up tn camp of ease and isolation, let'us bravel and hopefully and soberly continue th march of faithful service." Governor Roosevelt said In part: "In the three years President McKinlef has been In office he has been earnest the time to advance the interests of nil country. We have heard complaints an4 cavil. The complainants we can throat aside.

It FIGHTS 1YITHJTILD FOWLS They Attack Has Island Liht And Are Slain By Hundreds. ISpecial Dispatch to tb. Baltimore Sun. Oxancock. March 4.

One cf the keepers of the Hog Island light relates a remarkable experience with wild. fowls had by the keepers of that light on the night of February 22. Between 7 and 8.30 P. M. the watch on duty was aroused by the "honking" of wild geese and brant, accompanied by the crash of breaking glass.

He hastily sum moned the other keepers, who responded with shotguns. They opened fire on the bewildered birds with every gun. The bat tie lasted for aa honr and a half. The guns so hot that it was dangerous to use them and the shoulders of the men became sore from the recoil. The supply of ammunition gave out and the fight ended.

In the morning there were found 268 dead brant, geese and ducks at the foot cf the tower. On the following Saturday morning the tower was again at tacked by the birds. There being no stock of cartridges on the island, the gnus were useless, but the keepers fought -with sticks and captured 1jO fowls, when a flock, an parently containing thousands, rushed upon them. They were compelled to seek shel ter within the tower. So powerful was the flight of the frightened geese that the wire screens were penetrated, the lights In the watchroom extinguished and the panes In three windows destroyed.

These fowl had taken winj because of the severe weather prevailing upon their feeding grounds and were blinded by the intense glare of the powerfnl light in the top of the tower. Ilog Island light marks one of the most dangerous shoals on the Virginia coast. It Is an iron tower and stands 180 feet above mean high water. It is a first-class light and can be seen from the bridge of a steamer a distance of about 25 miles. Quadriga Wins Whist Trophy.

What Filipino, asks the New York Even ing Post, can now be so simple-minded as to think Mr. McKinley promises of the slightest value? Will he who broke faith with Puerto Rican keep it with the Fili pino? The fact Is, adds the Evening Post, If the President were to draft a perfectly honest proclamation to the Filipinos, it would need editing to bring it In line with the tPuerto Rican precedent. It would then read, in part, as follows: All officers of the civil government shall be chosen as far as may be practicable from the inhabitants of the islands; but I am bound to add that if Senator Beverldge Insists upon my appointing his brother-in- law, as I already have his father-in-law in Puerto Rico, I shall, of course, have to do it.

The same rule will hold in the case of all other Senators. All ports and places in the Philippine islands will be opened to the commerce of all friendly nations. I ought to say, however, that I am not sure of Congress In this particular. I am not even sure of myself. The time may come when I shall have to urge Congress to close your ports, but If this should occur It would be a matter of deep regret to me.

This is a world of change. At present, my firm Intention is to guarantee to you the heritage of free peoples; but if It turn out that It is politically necessary to make you subjects and slaves, you will know that you have my deep sympathy." Elections In Great Britain. The New York Tribune thinks the early dissolution of the British Parliament and the election of a new House would result in a victory for the government. On the other hand, the Tribune is of the opinion that If dissolution should be postponed until next year, or even next fall, "the glam our of triumphant arms might be displaced by the burden of increased taxation, with a consequent revulsion of popular senti ment against the government. Such reasoning," says the Tribune, is logical, and Is entirely permissible in a country whose constitution prescribes no set time for general elections, but gives the government the privilege of calling for them whenever it suits its purpose, sub ject only to the limits of the septennate.

There would, Indeed, be no ground for ac cusing the government of cutting this Par liament unduly short for party purposes should it order a dissolution this spring, or early in the summer. The present House of Commons was elected in July and Au gust, 1895. In the coming summer it will therefore have lasted five years. That is a longer life than the average Parliament has enjoyed In the Victorian reign. Of the 13 preceding the present only six have passed or reached five years.

The average duration has been lesB than 4 years. "The chief cause for regret, should a new election, be called for this spring, will be in the fact that it will have to take place under the old apportionment. There has long been a crying need for redistribution of seats, so as to make the House of Commons more truly proportionate In pop ular representation. But for the war some plan to that end might ere this have been adopted. Nevertheless, the failure to adopt one cannot be charged against tne govern ment as a political trick, for the presump tinn ia that redistribution would con siderably favor the Conservative-Unionist party." Brooklyn Tne City Of Seances.

Brooklyn, which was once known as the "City of Churches," has now become the "City of Seances." and no one need be surprised, says the New York World, "if the first authentic and fully verified communication from ghostland should reach Manhattan and the Western world via the Brooklyn bridge." "It must be admitted," the World states, "that the initial attempts at communication between Brooklyn and spirit World have not been wholly satisfactory. For occult reasons the mediums prefer communication through aboriginal interpreters, and the recent failure of the spirit of a great Winnebago chief to speak Winnebago when called on blocked a promising investigation and disappointed the friends of spiritism. "In a more recent attempt the dialectic difficulty was flanked by allowing the spirit hands to draw the portrait of the intermediary, which appeared In lines of living light at the seance. But now it is alleged that the spirit did not draw on his imagination for the portrait, but basely copied a poster used in the sordid pursuits of trade as a cisaret advertisement. The malice of skepticism has further pursued the seekers after truth with the discovery that the spirit used for his art work the ordinary luminous paint of commerce, purchased at a Williamsburg emporium.

"No great cause can be won without great effort, and the experiences of Columbus and Galileo, rather than those of Brooklyn's Winnebago hief and spirit artist, should be the stimulus of Professor Hyslop and his researches." Tariff War With Germany. The New York Times says the greatest desire of the German Emperor is to make a naval power out of Germany. If the support of the Agrarian members of the Reichstag can be obtained only by excluding the products of foreign agriculture from the German markets, then those products must be excluded on any pretense that comes handy. "The German Government knows, continues the Times, "for It has been warned by the American Ambassador, that such a course will be resented, in this country, and will lead to a 'tariff This means that, if the Germans exclude our meats, we will put some microscopists at work to find some German product which is not already excluded from our markets by the Dingley bill, and if they find one we will promptly exclude it. "There is a distinct gala in honesty in the present German movement.

It Is frankly agrarian and protective. It does not proceed upon false pretenses of sanitary obiectlons. The American farmer, espe cially if he raises cattle or beef for the market, must be full of contempt for the German farmer who is afraid or unanie to meet him In fair competition and invokes the aid of the government to prevent such a competition. But. protectionist for protectionist, we are bound to say that the American ''agrarian appears a good deal more of a coward, a good deal more of a humbug, and a good deal more of a fool, than the German agrarian." Geysers Of Tne Yellowstone Park.

The New York Sun, commenting on reports that the geysers of the Yellowstone National Park are subsiding and may become extinct In the next 10 years, says: "Scattered all over this wonderland of geysers and thermal springs are volcanic cones, rising 2,000 to 3,000 feet above the general level. Lava and ashes long since ceased to pour from their craters, but the springs and about, 70 jets or geysers still remain to prove that the underground energy has not yet entirely subsided. The behavior of these springs ivnd geysers differs from year to year, and because they exhibit declining activity in any one year or a series of years it cannot be safely predicted that the phenomena will cease within a short time. Jets here and there may cease to spout, but simultaneously hew geysers, displaying the liveliest ebullitions, may come into view. "Fountain geyser seems to have subsided for the present, at least, but nearby a new eeyser, which rejoices in the name of Dewey, has suddenly appeared.

A certain tranquil thermal spring was observed but little before 1880, when it- suddenly became the most vigorous of all the great jets In the park, sending its water 300 feet into the air and worthily gaining the name Excelsior. Some years the thermal waters are much hotter and more abundant than lu others, and these facts explain the differing conditions of activity wbleb tourists report trom one season to another." Feast Of Amusement Company, A glorious finish to the activities of the Baltimore Baseball and Amusement Company for the present season was its banquet at the Eutaw House on Saturday night. Fourteen persons were at the table, including Mr. Conway W. Sans, counsel for the company.

Those present knew a thing or two about good eating, and Major J. P. Shannon, manager of the Eutaw House, saw that they should have no causo for complaint. Mr. Sams presided at one end of the table and Mr.vThomas E.

Jenkins at the other. No set toasts were delivered, but everybody said something in the course of the evening. Mr. C. P.

Flockton, of England, a well-known theatrical man who bears a close resemblance to Joseph.Jefferson, happened along and was invited to make a speech. He accepted the Invitation and paid a glowing tribute to America's national game, saying that it far surpassed cricket in science and attractiveness. Those present were President Phil Peterson, Secretary-Treasurer Harry Goldman, Manager John J. McGraw, Captain Wil-bert Robinson, Thomas E. Jenkins, Conway W.

Sams, George S. Cripps, Major J. P. Shannon, W. H.

McGee, Samuel C. Appleby, W. C. Watkins, John Anderson, Thomas S. Rice and Sidney C.

Jones. A Poor Washington Team. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington. March 4.

President Wag ner and Winnie Mercer, of the local baseball team, are to meet the 10 players under contract with Washington on March 19. If suitable grounds can be obtained the team will then go South for preliminary practice. Otherwise the local park will be used and the men will be whipped Into shape here Washington. It is stated that Mr. Wagner intends to sign two or more players before the spring meet of the magnates.

These tidings are taken everywnere to mean that Washington and Baltimore will remain In the League. Washington's management will likely buy men from Louisville and Cleveland, but unless some of those clubs go "out of the League or the Wagners are able to find some other source of material the Washington team will begin the season weak at all points. Pointer On Syndicate Ball. "Syndicate" baseball has been revived as a topic of conversation among lovers of the game on account of the declaration of President Freedman, of the New. York club, that he would not strengthen his team until the Baltimore-Brooklyn syndi cate Is abolished.

Unidentified man, about 50 years old. Martin Gallagher, 53 years old, and Ed- wardVValker were the two Injured. The Ere was discovered about 2 clock. Smoke was pouring from the windows of the fifth floor, and the flames were making rapid progress. The lodging house was cut up Into 132 rooms, and UO of these small places were occupied when the fire broke out.

Policemen sent In an alarm, burst Into the place and notified the night clerk, who rang alarms all over the house. The hallways were Immediately filled with a crowd of excited men. The police went to the upper floor, and carried out Thomas Harper, a one-legged man, and Edward Walker, who had been burned and partially overcome by the smoke. Stephen Carney was found lying on the floor in his room. The flames had already burned the old man's hands, face and body, but a policeman picked him up and carried him oat of the building.

Coler's Boom For Mayor. Controller Coler has attacked the Corpo ration Counsel.

He charges wholesale and says bribery is rampant among the city officeholders. Mr. Coler savs he sent to Albany a bill providing that pfSons selling supplies to the city departments should not charge more than market prices, but that the Corporation Counsel hurried to Albany to defeat it. He also alleges that there is a concerted movement on the part of certain departments to defeat his efforts to protect the city treasury. In one case, he says, safes were pur- chased by the city for $500 when the town of Mount Vernon, bids, got them for $301.

In anotber case carpets were bought at auction for $1.25 a yard that could be bought for 88 cents. In conclusion Mr. Coler says: "Thlnars are worse than In Tweed's time. Thousands of persons are subsidized by the city through the purchase of sup plies in lots that cost less than $1,000. The patronage taken away by the civil service is distributed in that way." At an extraordinary ovation tendered Comptroller Coler in Brooklyn tonight he made a remark generally construed as plac- Ine him in the field as a candidate for Mayor of York on an independent anti Tammany ticket.

Mr. Coler had made an address before the Brooklyn Philosophical Society, and resolutions were passed indorsing the views he had expressed favoring the passage of the interborough tunnel sehemes by the Municipal Assembly. Then former Jus tlce "Watson made a speech in which he said; 'We simply stand and kick, we hav before us now an official who has courage to talk, and he is one that I and many others who differ from him politically stand ready to put in any office that is within our gift." Mr. Coler In replying said: "With such warm supporters as I have found here I may try to kick off the lid of the Coffin that some think has been pre pared for me." Third Avenue Road Troubles. Yesterday at a meeting of the directors of the Forty-second Street and DrydoekCar Companies, which are subsidiary to the Third Avenue Railway, J.

Ellas, until yesterday the head of the entire system, was practically deposed as president of these two lines, andwith him went his two brothers-in-law, who held fat posi tlons, and his uncle, Henry Hart, who is 90 years old and dropped out as vice-president of the Forty-second street line. Upon him, small, bent, gray, but with eye still alert and keen, has fallen the heaviest blow of all the Third Avenue crash. From being the dictator of the road for over 30, years nis lortune oi pernaps ura uccu so devastated by the ruin of the road that It is believed he is ruined. Still hopeful, but visibly nervous and worn, the little man of 90 years walked into the meeting to bear his share of the blame. Economy was the explanation offered for the sweeping changes, but little or no ef fort was made to conceal the fact that they were due to a very strong feeling of dissatisfaction with President iuias' aa ministration.

Directors who participated in the meeting let It be understood that the action was aimed directly at the president and coterie of brothers-in-law and other relatives who have figured so po tently in the affairs of the company. There is much talk of appalling losses by political deals. Wedded A Month, Kept It Secret. Hugh J. Kelly, an assessor of the Tax Department, and nephew of the late John Kelly, formerly the leader of Tammany HalC received the first congratulations from his friends today upon his secret marriage a month ago to Miss Mamie McOwen, daughter of Coroner McOwen, of the Borough of Bronx.

Leo's Gymnasium every Saturday night to watch the tournament now in progress. Some of the players show marked improvement as a result of the tournament, for they have been putting in some hard licks at practice on the other nights in the week. John McCormick retains his clear record, and added two more victories on Saturday, defeating Kelleher and Sullivan. Kelleher showed symptoms of being a comer until he met McCormick, but it now looks as if another dark horse would have to be selected. Louis Eberje is the most likely looking rival for McCormick.

Leo's is taking an active interest in the project to put athletic grounds in Patterson Park. The members individually are exercising all the Influence they can bring to bear, and as an organization they will enter the field as soon as the Board of Governors takes official notice of the matter. The St. Leo's men are In the section of the city which would be the most benefited by the improvements, and fully realize the necessity of making Patterson Park useful as well as ornamental. Several of the members hold real estate near the park, and say that their property would be considerably enhanced If the project goes through.

They say that the laying out of athletic grounds would cost no more in the first place than the planting of the same amount of land in flowers and ornamental shrubbery, and after the grounds are once put there the cost of maintenance will be decidedly less than It would cost to attend to flowers and 6hrubs. The regular inpnthly meeting and smoker of the Gymnasium will be held tonight and the matter will be discussed. Mr. John H. Blacklock, to whose disinterested efforts the Carroll Park grounds were due, will not be able to attend the St.

Leo's meeting, but will send a letter explaining his view. No further steps have been taken by St. Leo's about getting outdoor grounds, as the plot it had in mind Is owned by parties who will not rent for a longer term than one year. This land Is on Baltimore street, near Lakewood avenue, the grounds secured by St. Elizabeth's Gymnasium.

With Passing Of Bernheimer Interests Comes Another.

FOURTEEN NOW IN THE LOT Three More To Be Added And All To Race Under Fran Barnes, Who Has Pnt Manr I In New York Thursday there will be sold seven horses, the entire string of harness racers belonging to Bernheimer Bros. Th stable last year was the most prominent in the State. The proprietors were iiDerai in making entries and, though young in the sport, were valuable promoters 01 it. When it was first announced in ihe that the stable would be sold many thought it would be a serious blow to racing In these parts. Horse racing will, tne lan- euacre of Jack Solan, be superseaeu Dy bicycling or automobile riding about the time the typewriter supplants the piano.

Other stables have been growing wnne the plans for the Bernheimer sale have been maturing. "Here are the horses wmcn were sent to New York last Thursday to be sold: Tiger Tom, 2.21, record made on a half-mile track; sire Fred S. Wilkes, dam bv Robert. McGregor. He never speeded on a mile track but twice and then went in better than 2.12.

General Shatter, 2.304. sire Haw Patch, dam by Jim Wilson. Shatter trotted a mile over Pimlico track last season in 12'4. Joe Wible, 2.20U. by Silverthorn, dam by Young Joe.

Lorna McGregor, 4 years old, by tiyria, dam by Robert McGregor. She went a half mile over the Cleveland track In 1.064 last November. rarker 2.064, by Temple Bar, dam Cottage Girl, by Venture. He is the pacer who beat the celebrated Eastern Shore trotter Lamp Girl at Tasley, November SO last, and has the fastest record of any horse ever owned in Maryland. Sherwlck, 2.23t4.

hy Sherman, a son or George Wilkes, dam by Sedgewick. Mr. Bernheimer bought him last year at the Empire City track after he showed a mile In 2. 164- The last of the lot Is a bay gelding by Arrowood, dam by Jersey Wilkes. He was bought in Indiana this winter.

Last fall he showed a mile In 2.12. He Is credited with having paced the last quarter of a 14 mile In 20 seconds. This is the lot that Baltimore sends away to be sold, and unless some of them are bought by local horsemen they are liable to be heard from on the tracks in different sections of the country next season. Some horsemen at Gentlemen's Driving Park yesterday said it was probable that two and possibly more of the lot would return to Baltimore. The stable would have left a void at the Gentlemen's Driving Park had not two Baltimoreans been busy filling a stable much larger than the departed one, ac: with horses that figure high as possibilities.

Frank Barnes has the training of this stable, and he says it contains the most valuable lot of harness horses ever owned by any firm In Maryland. He has his head quarters in barn No. 1. The stable is equipped with electric lights and has 17 stalls. Fourteen are occupied by horses.

There is a harness room in which all sorts of Improved harness, boots, and other horse things are kept. On the opposite side is a comfortable business office. The proprietors started the stable last July, and to date have bought 14 high-class horses. Three more horses are in view and will doubtless be bought within the next 10 days. This will fill the complement, making the string number 17.

These horses will be started in the spring races on local tracks. As there are several cracks in the lot they will be entered In the Grand Circuit races. The stable is likely to be heard from in the name of Frank Barnes in several parts of the country when the race season comes along. There has been little notoriety given to the collection of such a string. Here Is what the trainer has to say of his candidates for race honors, as he shows his horses to visitors.

He starts the list with Mike Dun, bay gelding, 8 yea old, by Wedgewood, dam by Nutwood. This horse was raised at Thomasville, and came to Baltimore In the spring of 1S09 with a record of 2.19. In July of same year, at a matinee performance, he paced a mile at the Gentlemen's Driving Park against Evadne in 2.11 on a half- mile track. At Rochester last fall he won a great race over such horses as My Choice, Mary Ann. and others, getting a record of 2.13, and in the fifth and last heat he went to the three-quarter pole In 1.30, a two-minute clip.

There he left his contestants and jogged home In 2.13. This horse Is now in the best of shape. Ashby Girl Is a bay mare five years old, by Ashby he by Vatican, dam a Pea-vine mare by Rattler. This mare broken by Barnes last spring and entered in but one race, and that at Rochester, when she won handily In 2.14- At Providence, R. two weeks later she worked out in 2.09, going the last half in 1.03" and the last quarter in 29 seconds.

If Barnes has any special favorites among his large string of flyers it is this mare. She came to her speed under his skillful training In a few months and promises to be a track warmer. Mishap, a bay mare, six years old, by William Red. dam untraced, has a mark of 2.24J&, and It is whispered that she has gone a mile In 2.12. When her name is mentioned her trainer puts on a broad smile, but as he is not one of the kind to light a candle nd keep it under a bushel there will be no cause for further speculation when the season is over.

Rosy Russel is a bay gelding, six years old, by Wilkle Russel, dam by a son of Almont, 33. This horse has no mark, but has a slick way of going. Cricket is a roan mare, six years old, by Kilbuck Tom; he by White Cloud, and White Cloud by Dan Rice's Show Horse; dam Millocka, by Lile by Aberdeen, by Hambletonian 10. This mare has no mark, but is well bred and a good individuality. Dewey, brown gelding, four years old, by Blue Don, a son of Jay Bird, dam Sallie by Sweepstakes, is another green one of much promise Ilannis.

Junior, black stallion, four years old, by Ilannis, dam a thoroughbred mare. This horse is a late acquisition to the stable and much thought of by his trainer. Killicca. brown stallion, seven years old, full brother of Cricket, was raised at Homer, Ohio, by Dr. Ii.

Coalman: has no record, but has gone quarters in 33 seconds with but little work. Blasa, bay gelding, bred and raised at Los Angeles, Cal. He is by a 6on of Electioneer, dam. a thoroughbred, ne has a mark of 2.20, but has shown much greater speed. Tug, gray gelding, six years old, Is highly bred.

lie has a mark of 2.18. He wa3 recently purchased from a lady at Columbus, Ohio. Minnie Young, gray mare, six years old, by Speedway, dam untraced, mark 2.17, was also purchased from same person at Columbus. Both of these horses are good individuals and of great promise. Pace bay gelding, six years old, by William Red, second dam Sunbeam, by a thoroughbred.

Pace G. has a mark of 2.19. Little Tobe is the ideal baby of the lot. He Is probably the most popular horse in Maryland. He is by Pamlico and has a trotting record of 2.19.

Ills trainer has recently converted him into a pacer and thinks he will be around when the bell taps for the side-wheelers. Frank Barnes, who has charge of this aggregation of racers, has been called Professor Barnes. He has put 66 horses in the 2.30 list: 17 of them he has marked better than 2.20. Pilot Medium, 2.14, was in Barnes' stable, but Is now In charge of P. Biggs.

This horse was eligible to the same class as Mike Dunu and Ashby Girl. Imperious Takes Burns Handicap. Sax Fraxcisco, Mach 4. On a heavy tract, in a arizziing rain, ur. 11.

kow ell's bay gelding Imperious, by Morello, dam Helen Scratch, won the fifth Burns Handicap, the classic event of the California turf, at Oakland yesterday. This is the second time Rowell has captured the rich ttake, having won with Satsuma in 1S9S, and finished second with the same horse last year. The winner was well backed at short odds. There was a plunge on Acrobat from the opening odds at 5 to 1 The strong play was due to the fact that Acrobat was purchased by J. F.

Schorr ia the morning, and the horse F. W. Erode was scratched la order to give T. Burns the mount on Acrobat. Rowell's stable Imperious and Malay were well played by the smaller bettors.

The opening odds of 4 to 1 fluctuated slightly and closed at the same figures. The others were backed at odds ranging all the way from 5 to 1 to GO to 1.
