BosToN, June 12.-The Adverliser in ita
weekly review Of the wool market, says:
The market shows a larger business than
for any week since the one ending Febru.
ary 2S, and this is made up OF large sales
OF domestic wool sggregating 2,7ll, 800
pounds. II is easy 10 sell wool at old
quotations, but difficult to get any ad.
vance. Still dealers are inclined 10 ask
higher prices, while manufacturers on
their side are decidedly cautious, antiCi.
pating that when new woods arrive more
freely there may be some weakness In
prices developed.
Reports from the country command at.
tention, and kilograms are very thickly
scattered on the street. The general
tenor Of these is that excitement prevails
in the interior; that local mills, being
very short OF wool, have bought freely,
and local operators, encouraged by the
improved business outlook, are buying on
speculation. Boston dealers are also rep
resented as buying. Prices quoted In
these kilograms would indicate that grow.
ers are realizing slight advance over last
years prices, which, In view Of the pres
ent selling prices prevailing here, Is
doing well

PITTsBuRaH, June lS.-Teemer's defeat
at Pullman yesterday caused the most
profound surprise in this city, Nearly
every one expected he would win. He
was q iavoritS in the betting here at al
most any odds. Wagers OF $40 to 81, with
no takers, were offered that he would be
the victor, The time made, and the con.
dition O. the water would indicate that
Gaudaur was pulling at Aspanking clip,
and in splendid form, and judging by 3
time test 1t was great race, provided
the course was full length and the timing
given out correctly,
But few people were seen last night
who would express the belief that Gau-
daur is the better man OF the two. A well
known sporting man said that in his
opinion the defeat was on the square. He
argued that II 1t had been 'job," there
would have been some one here to take
the Gaudaur end Of the betting, which
was not the case, Again he claimed that
leemer would not give away his prospects
for the winnings Of day.

Feast Of Pentecost, festival that
marks the birthday Of the Christian church
AMI commentaries the coming down
Of the Holy Ghost upon the twelve apos-
ties, The day was very appropriately OBJ
served at the Cathedral. The special feature
was the confirmation OF over one hundred

celebrated at $3.50 O'Clock by Mgr. ], T.
Sullivan. The large confirmation class at
this hour partook Of its first communion,
which was administered by Bishop KRin.
There was very large congregation pres
ent, and in all over i've hundred partook
OF the communion. 'At 8 o'clock there
was another large congregation present;
these services were conducted by Rev.
Father McElligott.
At hRlf.past ten o'clock q solemn High

vices made short but appropriate address
to the knights oi ST. George. About one
hundred and fifty knights were in the
vast congregation that had assembled for
this service, They were very much
pleased with the little talk, and resolu-
tons were afterwards adopted thanking the
Bishop for the interest ne had taken In |
them and the pleasing remarks he had
made.
Ats o'clock vesper services were held,
and at this hour the large class was con.
tirmed. This was the most interesting
service Of the day, and attracted the
largest congregation, The large edlace
was packed. The music was a special
feature Of the vesper services. Mr.. Arkle's
voice was heard with much pleasure.
Previous 10 theCondrmation, the Bishop
delivered very plain, simple practical
address that all could understand and ap.
preCiate. The ceremony ol confirming
was pretty sight and passed of in beau.
Iiiul manner. At the conclusion q son Of
Sheriff Handlan's, o member OF the class,
attended by two Of his companions, read
IN "a clear and distinct manner the, ser.
vice known as the renewal Of baptismal
promises.
The sight OF the large class Of little
