SPECIAL 1eiegram 20 the Globe.
New YORK, June 25.-The following
page of secret history of Wall street was
torn out of the note book Of man who
has always first class sources of informa-
ton in regard to Yanderbilt's stock gam
bling transactions. Mr.. Wm. 4. Wander
bilt when he sold out his New York Central
stock, undertook certain .unwritten obliga-
tiOns that the road would pay an per
cent. dividend as long as he remained
president. He knew, however, that with
the sconstantly increasing competition
and the immense capitalization of the
the road, this could not be done very long
In fact, as far back as a year ago, he ad-
vlsed q young friend who crossed the ocean
with him and was of considerable use to
him in initiating him into the
mysteries of good manners, not
to buy Central around these
prices" because the stock was likely
to become sooner or later IS per center"
The sudden and unexpected way in which
Mr.. Vanderbilt skipped out of the presi-
dency of his road is fully accounted for
his unwritten obligations toward those
upon whom he saddled his stocks. Besides
the syndicate which he made work the
stocks of at home as well as abroad. he
had eLuced his best friends into buying
them. From men like Marvin, Eastern
and Foster Dewey down TO every bar
keeper and stable boy about McComb's
dam. everybody was loaded with New
York Central and Lake Shore. When he
had sold out he dropped the presidency
a2d thus washed his hands. but
no one, with the possible exception
Of Mr.. Rutter. knew anything about the
plan till 1t was consummated-nOt even
Mrs. Vanderbilt or Chauncey Depew. X.
H. Vanderbilt drove unconcernedIy out on
that memorable Friday, and the first man
/ he told he had sent in his resignation was
the first horse friend he met on the road. a
/ former cattle dealer. Together with his
| resignation ne sent in through his son
| Fred to the different boards the tickets to
be elected, and next day gayly departed
! on his pleasure trip to Europe. Mr.. Gould
and Sage were then on the Mexican bor-
ders, and when the news reached them
they saw at once that the mar
ket must be sustained if a panic
was to be avoided Orders we're
immediatly sent not to let Central 60 be-
low 12O, or Lake Shore below 1O9, and it
is probable these two men and their board
room followers have now more Vanderbilt
stocks on hand than the whole of Wander
bits family put together. It must be
said, however, they were substantially as
sisted by the plucky and enterprising W d.
K. Vanderbilt, who, not knowing what
the intentions of his father were, was buy
ing the stock all the time his father was
selling, hence the row between the two
which is said to have broken out when the
elegant old gentleman skipped out and
found his son loaded with stock.

$7,109,816; net earnings $5,O8O,OS6; re-
ceipts from landlsales $3.50, 1000; net revenue
of $5,640,086, out of which was paid the in

and bonded debt $59, 100000. Of S2.5OO, 900
in hand reported as assets in the last an
nual report, 100000 has been sold at the

stocks and bonds, the connecting and for
other roads for the protection of the com
pany's interests. No additions have been
made to mileage. The passenger business
shows an increase of slightly over SO per
cent, and the freight decrease of per
cent, mainly owing to the short corn
crops of 1881 and 1882 in Illinois and
Iowa.

GEO. HoSMER,
of Boston, has an excellant record as an
oarsman. In addition to his exploits he,
with Mckay, took second money in the
great double scull race at Pullman last
Saturday, scoring the quick time of 20
minutes 3 seconds for miles, beating
the centennial record in 1876 on the
SchuyikiIl, which was 81 minutes 20 Sec
onds for Faulkner and Regan.
The details of the forthcoming regatta
will be arranged as soon as Mr.. Corning
reaches home. 1t is believed that it will
be one of the most interesting events of
the year in aquatic sports, and will at
tract many thousands of people. The
oarsmen will go into training for this great
regatta some time ID July on Lake Mime
tonka. Some 10000 people viewed the
recent Pullman races. Lake Calumet is a
mudhole in comparison with the pellucid
waters of Minnetonka.

HANLAN's CAREER

as an oarsman Is remarkable. He was
born in Canada in 1850. Both his parents
are dead. HanIar has been rowing eight
years. His first appearance of note was
his winning of the first prize in the Cen
tennial regatta at Philadelphia in 1876.
He rows with a sliding seat, which
has eighteen inches play. The slides he
used IN the Kennedy race were made by
J. Meany, OF Sudbury street, Boston. His
sculls Nsre nine feet six and One-half
inches @e4g, with blades six and one-half
inches wide His boat wa thirty-one feet
long. built of Spanish cedar, by Ruddick,
of Bosto and it weighed twenty-six
pounds. The spread of the outriggers was
four feet eight inches. From his child
hood Hanlan was much on the water.
When quite young it became his ambition
to win fame as an oarsman. His first at
tempt at rowing with outriggers were
made in a very novel craft of his own de-
sign and construction. It was a two-inch
plank sharpened at both ends, and fur
nished with slightly ele-
vated seat and outriggers.
Though uniformly successful in his
earlier engagements, Hanlan was sin
guiarly slow in obtaining the fame and
reputation his abilities as an oarsman
fairly merited. His first appearance in
race was made when he was sixteen years
old, he forming one of crew composed of
fishermen. In the following year he
figured as a successful competitor in a
number of skiff races, and in 1873 first
rowed a race in a shell, the contest being
for the amateur championship of the bay.
He was again victorious, defeating Sam
Williams and McKen Next year ne met
Thos. Louden in a race for the champion
ship of Burlington bay, this being his
initial professional engagement. The re-
suit added another to his list of
victories. Louden challenged him to
row another race over mile
course for 800 a side in the summer of
1875, and they met on Toronto Bay,
HanIan again showing himself the better
man, he winning by nearly two lengths.
Daring the season he won a medal offered
by the governor general, IN a two-mlle
pull at Toronto. defeating Louden and
James Douglas. In the spring of 1876 he
vanquished Douglas and Wm. Mcken. and
on August i following became possessed
of the belt emblematic of the champion
snip of Toronto, offered by the Toronto
rowing club, his only opponent being
Mcken. st this regetta Hanlan likewise
won tisherman's race, three pair of sculls,
his partners being McKen and II. Elliott,
and the craft engaged being boats
actually in use that summer.
All of these races were of minor impor-
tance, however, and the reputation they
brought was but local. The following is

BOTH ASLEEP.
An Engine Dashfng Along an English
Railroad without Control.
From a liverpool paper.

The occurrence on the Holyhead
line of am engine-driver and stoker
falling asleep while on duty, and the
narrow escape of the Irish mail. was
even more serious than reported. 1t
would appear from inquiries made last
night at Llandudno Junction that the
signal man there, by extraordinary
presence of mind, saved the Irish mail
passenger on Tuesday nightfr from what
might have proved terrible fate.
The signal-man at the junction receiv-
ed message from the signalman at
Conway, the next station toward Holy
head, that light engine was coming.
The signal-man, knowing that the
Irish mail was due, decided to run the
engine into a siding, IN order to per
NIT the express to pass. He according
ly put up all the signals against the
light engine, but to his extreme aston
ishment the engine came straight into
the junction at full speed, swept
around the corner, dashlng past all
the danger signals, and disappeared
frem view down the line towand Ches
ter.
A moments reflection convinced the
Signal-man that both driver and strok
er must be asleep, and that unless
they awoke an awful calamity might
occur. He accordingly wired to the
Colwyn Bay station signal man: En-
CINE coming. Driver asleep. Put fog
signals on the line" The man at Col
wyn Bay was equally prompt, for run
ming out of his box he had barely
time to lay number of signals wher
the engine came laundering along
and the explosion which followed eff
fectually awole the drowsy men. Thu
engine was stopped, and run back in
to siding, when il was discovered
that the fire had gone cut, the water
had disappeared from the boiler, and
that the men had been asleep some
time. An inquiry has resulted il
their immediate discharge They had
