carried away from Cumberland Park
this evening. Hal Pointer, their
pride, the horse that carried all their
money had suffered defeat in three
straight heats, the matchless CalifOr-

heels with comparative ease. The
time of the second heat was the best

broke in either heat and moved like

Hal Pointer had the pole in the first
heat and held it until the quarter
pole was reached, when Direct, who
had been on almost even terms with
him from the start, made mqgniti-
cent squirt and secured the inside OF
the track. After thatit was easy sail
ing, and Giers pulled up Pointer be-
fore reaching the wire.
The second heat saw Direct at the
pole, and he held it throughout. The
best Pointer could do was stay abreast
with him until reaching the halt
mile post, where Direct gradually
drew away, the Tennessean's fine
burst of speed in the stretch being OF
no avail. 1t was generally believed
that the champion could have gone in
pos had Pointer pressed him more
closely. He was pacing easily III

have considered this subject. He
assured the convention that Calves
toms deep water was surely coming,
and that Velasco had already over II
feet a; that Sabine Pass was "neXt in
order" and then Arkansas. 1t was Il
great day for Texas and deep water.
In spite of bitter opposition from
Galveston and Arkansas, the congress
on Gov. lIubbard's motion congratu-
lated Texas and the enterprising
Brazos river company upon having
obtained seventeen and one-half feet
of water on the bar at the mouth of
the BraZos river.
No speech yet made at the conven-
ton has awakened such interest and
excited as much comment and COM

thirty minutes, he had spoken an
hour and quarter before the presi-
dent of the congress or any member of

EcB1NscN's RESIGNATION.
Claims Peing Made That it is a Trick Of
the Southern Pacific

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 20.-Mr. ID. b.
Robinson's resignation OF the mana
gership Of the San Antonio and Aran-
sas Pass railway is exciting much
comment. 1t occurred after he had
made tour Of inspection, and it is
said that he then found matters so
unsatisfactory that lie decided to
have nothing to do with the road.
Mr.. Robinson is an experienced man
and was for years general manager OF
the Atlantic division Of the South
ern Pacific, so that his
opinion carries with it an adverse
criticism of the road. The fact that
he should have resigned such q good
and profitable position to take an in
ferior position on the rs. A. p" and
the appointment of Mr.. Geo. l.. Sands
as general superintendent leads many
railroad officials to believe that the
Southern Pacific is playing a trump
hand in the game, and it is openly
asserted that ere long the rs. A. P.n
road will become a part of the South
ern Pacific.
