ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM SING SING.

During the forenoon OF yesterday convict,
whose name did not transpire, succeeded in elud-
ing the vigilance OF the ocials at Sting Sing Prison
and took summary leave Of that institution. While
1t IL on record that some OF the dssatsnedua-
birds In making their escape have been driven
from the prison In fashionable equipages, the
fugitive above alluded to was suciently modest to
avail himself of barrel iulI OF "swi," in which
he was carted away from the scene OF his captivity.
He has probably taken the same direction AZ the
other two convicts who got away last week.

Messrs. Lawren(

Messrs. Lawrence and Shehan, for some reason
unknown, did not put in an appearance. and Mr..
Dudley was also obliged to decline the contest as
he was taken sick while training on the previous
day, and this morning found him so weak he
thought 1t prudent not to attempt q race Alter
drawing Or positions the men stepped out of the
enclosure and took their allotted places, amid the
ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERS
OF the spectators. Phillips had the inside position
Bowie, the Canadian, in the centre and the Amherst
representative, Mr.. Benton. was outside. In the
opinion OF the general public the race lay between
Messrs. Benton and Bowie, as the former was
credited with private trial on Wednesday, max
ing the two miles in 10 AS, and the Canadian is a
well-known amateur runner. having won some
eight or nine races in the British provinces.
"ARE you READYYr "Gol'
At 1o:46 the men drew up in line, and, awaiting
the word, the crowd kept still and anxious, surg
ing out in q tremendous roar, as the words. "Are
you readys' "Go!" ell IRON the lips OF Mr.. Bacon.
The race was run on the hal-mile track, as there
were many carriages drawn up on the mile
track tnat it was thought time would be wasted
in the attempt to clear them Oh. At the
word "Gop the three men started at q steady
singing gait, Phillips taking the pole, with Bowie
and Benton close behind. Benton had bunch Of
grass in each hand and looked confident and de-
termined, though aware Of the work that was cut
out before aim. He ran at steady gait, but
rather too pounding lifting his feet q trine high
an error made the more noticeable by the singing
easy gait OF the Canadian, who was trotting along
q couple OF yards ahead. After running about one
hundred and fifty yards Bowie came up and passed
Phillips, who dropped behind Benton. The latter
then closed on Bowie and took the lead, passing
the first quarter about three yards ahead.

Mr.. Philips deserves agreat deal OF credit for the
game and plucky race he ran, taking into cpnsid-
Grafton the limited time for preparation. In the
opinion OF many Mr. Benton would have ran Q far
better than he did If he had not been 80 much
reduced. During the last week he brought himself
down about seventeen pOunds-sufncienr to
weaken any man.

Now came the interesting portion Of the race, as
Bowie and Phillips came mp to take issue with
Benton. About $50 yards from home Bowie lee
out with tremendous rush and round ng the turn
came into the homestretch at lively gait,
with lead OF about twenty yards. Phillips
also showed turn OF speed, leaving
Benton completely broke down. On the last
hundred yards Philips closed up rapidly
on the Canadian, but the latter shook himself out
lew yards from home and shot by the stand the
winner Of the Challenge Cup some ten yards ahead
OF Phillips, who struggled gamey on to the last.
Benton was dstanced and did not come by the
stand. Bowie ran the two miles in lin. 1875. and

Starting on the second lap Benton rather IN

not as the result OF Its action but OF general causes
The misfortune however Is that, ordinarily, the
rate is advanced, not out OF regard to rising
tendency In the general market but for special
purpose connected with the banks supply OF bull
lion; and the outside market not responding the
advance usually fails OF its purpose, and simply
causes . good deal OF needless arrangement. This
anxiety on the part OF the bank to protect its bull
lion fund y as Reedless as u ls ipe1ectua. With
the bank managers the theory Is that the centerng
OF the worlds exchanges at London constitutes o
peculiar liability to irregularities in that market,
which it is their special business to qualify and
troll This view is so singularly onesided that we
can only account for its being entertained nom
the fact that bankers are always excessively sens
tive to their supposed dangers. This central pecu-
liarity of the London market really AFFORDS the
strongest guarantee OF steadiness for 1t hardly
ever happens that the exchanges of all countries
are working in she same direction; and, out OF the
working OF allan irregularity in one direction
being set or by q counter irregularlty from some
other quarter-there comes certain equilibrium
which must be reflected at London as the head and
centre. Which Is the more rational p0lcy-to rely
confidently on this natural equilibrium or to ner-
vously watch the various details of the complex
movement from which 1t results, and attempt TO
produce through manipulation an artificial equi-
rupts the even current OF the exchanges, and
causes irritation and fevershness where otherwise
there would be o cool and healthy condition OF
things"
THE MONEY MARKET
during the week has been noteworthy chiefly on ac-
count of the supply of loanable funds and lower
rates OF interest. The demand, however, has been
moderate. Rates on call loans have ranged from
three to five per cent, and prime business paper
has passed at six and eight per cent. Capitalists
have sought investment in this security at the
going rates whenever it was offered. A stringent
money market in the Fall does not seem to be an
ticpated.
THE STOCK MARKET
was more active during the latter portion OF the
week than 1t has been for several days and at
tended by q decided advance. 1t il useless to de-
scribe the situation as ga turning point" because
certain influences have fortultously combined to
produce the reaction that has been noticed, but 1t
does seem apparent that we have entered the first
stage or Summer speculation, and that with the
return OF the railway magnates there will be wit
messed still livelier times than heretofore. The
