Fresh Air Fund.

Those who hold the city mission tickets for Pawson park or the Thimble Islands should use them without delay, as the steamer Margaret will soon discontinue her trips for the season. The excursion tickets on the SaNin Rock cars are good at any time.
 There is still opportunity for those who have been absent from the city to send their subscriptions to the fresh air fund, and there is still need for the use of this fund. Another excursion of working women and their little children has been sent out this week, and easy carriages have been placed at the disposal of the managers of the Home for the Friendless and the two church homes on George street and Wall street to send at their convenience the old ladies living there for pleasant drive to East Rock park
 Those who have the comforts of life and to spare and desire to let others know in this way that they are not forgotten, can send funds for this purpose to Rev. MT. Mossman, general superintendent of the city missions, at English hall, corner of Court and State streets. Subscriptions may also be left at Mix's drug store, corner of Church and Chapel streets, or with MT. Curtis, treasurer of the city missions, at the City bank

A Rush to Sell at the Openlng-- Some Heavy SaIes-The Close Quiet and Firm.

NEW YORK, Sept. F.
 There was a rush to sell at the opening. In mining stocks the intent was to sell as low possible. Burlington was opened off 24 per cent at 94 Ii and sugar refineries 134 at Ti. Sugar was affected by the announcement that the next dividend would be passed. There were heavy sales and some stop orders, principally in sugar were met. The selling movement was soon over and a sharp rally took place, the extensive covering of shorts, which ran prices up to open ing figures and in some cases beyond. Some buying for the long account followed with fresh covering and a still sharper rally, even Chicago Gas rising over per cent. in less than an hour The urgent demand soon slacked away, but the improved feeling with the easing up of the money rates kept the firm tone going, and in some cases still high prices were reached in the last hour. The recoveries from the lowest figure extended to about 21a per cent. The market finally closed quiet and firm, generally at small fractions better than the opening prices but at irregular changes from last nights final figures. Railroad bonds were slightly more active, all though the number of issues traded in was not equal to that of yesterday. The market was flrmer, however, and while most of the important changes ure in the downward direction the gen eral list showed better tone throughout. The sales reached S7s7.CCO. out of which Reading fours contributed S106C7o.

 Under the dash system of racing at Dundee park the first week in October, the distances are from a mile to mile and a half.
 The fact that Colonel Pulsifer won ESQ., 900 on Penney in the recent labor stakes is proof that he has not lost confidence in his horse.

 Prince Regent, the mighty, was forced to lower his colors at Springfield to that
 great mare, Mambrino Maid, descendent of Robert Bonner's famous horse Startle. C.J. Hamlin bred, reared and trained
 Belle Hamlin and Justina, and drove them to double team record of 2:15a. The l record was made August 30 at Hartford. l MT. Hani1in owns Hamlin's Almont, jr., | the sire of these flyers, and he formerly | owned the sire of their dams. The last quarter was made in 31a, a 2:07 gait The 1 performance was remarkable one, and 1 the record of it will be 8 lasting one in turf | history The time equals the best previous l worlds re ord made by Maxie Cobb and l Meta Medium.
 The shaped track knocks the oval l track sky-high as a record smasher. If
 Maud S. s record is beaten by Sunol the l Independence track is most likely to be the place where the performance will be achieved.
 George L. Clark of Meriden, Conn.,, won honors with his colts at the recent Bir- l mingham meeting. His gray gelding Hal van by Haldane won the two-year-old race l and Baron Brown by Baron Wilkes the l three -year-old race.

FROM 1.-THE HoRsEMAN D

When the versatile dairy reporter starts in with his average assurance on trotting matters the facts and traditions of the trotting turf invariably get the worst of it. Recently an unimportant news item was wired from Lexington that l.. B. Simons had turned out the running colt Milton, by Onandaga, who had won nine times last year, for the season. The intelligent daily reporter fell upon this, and produced the statement that Wilton, 2:194, by George Wilkes, who won nine races last year, has been turned out by l.. E. Simons and will not be trained, etc." This was surpris- ing to turfmen, who remember that in the stud of Bowerman Brothers. It was probably the same reporter who evolved the Wilton item, that is responsible for the authoritative statement that as "Sir Arthur trotted in 2:254 and Kenwood in 2:274 at Washington park they are now eligible for the 2:30 class only" Probably on none of the subjects in his repertoire ranging from dog fight or an electrocu- tion to Arrangement of the planetary system, does the average daily reporter demonstrate what he doesn't know in quite so satisfactory and lucid & manner as when he tackles trotting meeting.

New York, July s.--De,ectives are on the

is an issue under the act of August 4. 1886,

portraits of General Hancock, which is in
,anny respects poorly executed. The color Of
the seal is bright brick red instead Of dark
red Of the genuine bill. The cross patching
ani certain parts of the lettering are also
poorly done, although in a general way the
.dnnterteit is extremely well executed. The
"i" in Register" is uot dotted and the st"
in States" q, the bottom of the bill il not
rosyed.
Two dollar bills are not 40 plesiiful about
this print shop rs to cause any worry. Still
St is ru,uored that there nave been seeh u
