Now came the feature of the day. 1t
was the Hotel Ryan stakes, netting $3.50
to the winner. Only three candidates
made the struggle, and this fact mill
tated against the interest. Jugurtha

lost on him. Prince Fortunatus came
second at odds of to ), and lots OF
money was won or him, while IWl-
light cut no figure whatever.
The start was a beauty, and there
was little OF no advantage until they
swept past the grand stand, when Twi-
light began to set the pace al rapid
clip, followed by Jugurtha. and the

The second race excited more inter

Comedy, and he seemed TO share honors
with Royal Garter (who was the favor
Ite) at long odds. Jim Dunn had his
usual following, although he has proven
a shocking disappointment during the
meeting. But Royal Garter was the
good thing, and the better judges found
the proud chestnut with facility. Jim
Dunn, following the GLOBES tips, was
second choice at to ) for place. Royal
Garter was out of the-plaee pools, and
the sagaciOUs bOOkies refused TO do
much in betting to win. The odds that
theyplaced against him was 13 to 10.Jen-
HE GTOunrOd was wisely considered no
element in the race, and 100 to l was
offered.
Comedy set the pace from the post,
with ROYAL Garter gallOping along in
second place under strong pull. At
the first quarter Jim Dunn's cOlOrs be-
gan to move up and were soon in second

GRAND DAYS SPORTS.
Gossip Concerning What Is Prom
ised by the Jockey Club.

ised by the Jockey Club.
The management presents the very
best card of the meeting thus far for to-
day. There are six stunning events,
the principal of which will be the st,
Paul stakes. This viii be the third
race, and it promises to be the cracker
Jack" of the meeting, and it would do
credit to any track in the country. The
track is fast and records are liable to
be chased with a vengeance. Verge
dor, who has won more races with
weight up and over than any other
horse in the West, is a sure starter. He
is trained by Henry Avis, or Kansas
City, Mo-, and Mr.. Avis has prepared
all the Derby winners for that track the
past few years.
Marian c, entered in the fourth race,
and who showed herself on the opening
day of this meeting, is grand per
former. She is the recent winner Of
the recent Boulevard stakes at Chicago.
and she was trained by Al Benson, at
COx's Creek. Ky. There is not an ami
nal here thought more of by the talent,
moi even Verge dor, DOnatellO, Guido
or Yale 81.
The fifth race on the card brings to-
gether three three-year-Olds of rare
merit. Little Annie'S second TO MISS
Hawkins Oaks win was as near a dead
heat as one could be. She IS the stable
companion of Marian c.
POmfret, who Is esteemed good thing
to-day, was trained by Henry Mack III
Kentucky. Hagen, by the way,ls trained
by Mr.. MulhOlland.
Verge dor is being played as sure
winner, but it should be remembered
that Verge dor is to carry 125 pounds.
while Ed Hopper, who beat Kingman
out the other day, is only to carry SO
pounds. For the distance, this is great
handicap. and it is calculated to place
them on equal grounds.
w. q. Morris did not show up in
proper form when he started the other
day. but he is reported as fine as silk
now, and Eli. it is saids will not be in 1t
although he beat W. q. out of the place
Wednesday.
Pomfret is not going home without
taking some money along, and he Will

The races as q whole yesterday were
not fraught with the interest that has
characterized the daily programme thus
far in the meeting at Hamline. Yet 1t
was a good day of sport. The attend
ance, il must be conceded, was not what
il ought TO be. The suppOsitiOn Is that
the great masses were waiting for the
grand card that is offered to-day. No
race track can offer better inducements
in the aggregate.
The day was almost perfect. and the
time accomplished by the candidates
proves that the track was fast.

THE CONTINUED LOAN.
Comptroller Lacy Issues Another
Circular.

Circular.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The books of
the AZ per cent loan kept in the office
of the register of the treasury will no
doubt be closed during the month of
August for the preparation of the Sep
tember schedule, as has been customary
heretofore. This change is caused by the
fact that no schedule will be required
for the final dividend of rs per cent on
the loan, as the interest on the bonds
now being received for continuance at
2 per cent will be prepaid to Sept. ?.
1891. while the interest on bonds not
continued will cease on that day, and
be paid only when the bonds are pre-
santed for redemption. The redemption
of A per cent bonds will not begin
until Sept. 2, 1891, the date of their
maturity. Up to date about S11,600,000
of these bonds have been continued at
per cent. The comptroller of the cur
rencY has issued the following circular
to national banks in regard to this loan:
Sir: Your attention is respectfully
called to the circular of July ?, 1891, is
sued by the secretary of the treasury.
authorizing holders of AZ per cent
bonds to present them for continuance
at per cent. This option will expire
on the I'd of September, 1891, after
which day any of said bonds outstand-
ing and not continued by request
of the holder, will cease to bear
interest by virtue of the call
for their redemption Issued
June 2, 1891, rendering them unavaila-
Bile as security for circulation after that
date. 1t will be absolutely necessary,
therefore $50 far as the minimum de-
pOsit of bonds is concerned). for ma
tional banks having AZ per cent bonds
on deposit as security for circulation to
secure the continuance of these bonds,
or to deposit other United States inter-
est-bearing bonds in their place.
Banks desiring to continue their
bonds should execute the papers which
have already been sent them from the
department. and forward them, accom-
panied by the treasuTer's duplicate re-
ceipts representing the bonds. to the
Office of the secretary of the treasury.
Banks desiring to substitute other bonds
or retire their circulating notes. should
apply to the comptroller of the cur
rency for the necessary blanks. Your
attention is also called to the fact that
under the act of July IA, 1870, the last
bond issued Hereunder must be first
called, and that there is, therefore, an
advantage to be obtained by an early
application for the continuance of these
bonds, as the new bonds will be issued
iu the order of the receipt of the per-
fected papers.

PhiladeIphia'S Treasurer Uncover
ing Abuses.
PHILADELPHIA. July 31.-City Treas
urer Wright has written letter to
Auditor General McCamant in ref
erence to certain practices In
connection with the mercantile ap-
praisership system in this city.
From the facts grouped together by
Treasurer Wright, it appears that glar-
ing abuses have existed, especially in
the collection of delinquent mercantile
taxes. Last year 6,559 delinquent suits
were brought before magistrates, at
a cost of S31, 1920, resulting In
the securing of judgments in but
249 cases and the collection
of S2, 1850. The state was thus muleted
for S2S, 467.70 in this single item. In ad-
dition to this, 10,367 names were strick-
en- from the list by the appraisers after
they had been paid 6219 cents per name
for classifying them, and had adver-
tiSed them at an additional expense OF
$3.50 pei. name to the state.
Treasurer Wright charges that ex-
emptions have been made for political
reasons, and that with any degree Of
diligence the appraisers should have
known that the persons afterwards eX-
elnpJeu SIOulu uOG nave Dcell put III
the list at all. In all it is estimated
that ZOO of state money was
wasted in this way last year.
For the present year the apprai-
sers have returned the large number of
10.979 deiinquents, and have exempted
S,77S persons, while only 1882 have
paid the tax In the list are the names
of 24O dealers in a single market, who
were also appraised last year, and from
whom not single dollar was collected.
OF those who were delinquent and ex-
empt last year the great majority ap-
pear in the same role this year. 1t Is
possible that fictitious names have also
been added to the lists.

a belief in going to heaven. He walked

PANIC On A TRAIN.
One Killed and Many Injured in
Overturned Cars.

BELLAIRE, o., July 31.-Another has
been added to the late list of railroad
accidents in Ohio. At about 10 clock
this morning Passenger Train No. 4, on
the Bellaire, GAINESVILLE 81 Cincinnati
railroad, left the track three miles south
of BelIaire, two cars being overturned
and dragged some distance by
the engine. Assistance was soon
at hand from other passengers
and the trainmen, and when all
were finally taken out of the wrecked
ear it was found that fourteen people
had been injured. four of them Sc
riously and one fatally. The train was
running at the rate Of thirty-five miles
an hour, and as it reached curve the
cars were noticed to sway violently,
and. unheeding the cries for passengers
to keep their seats, rush was made for
the doors. Many of the frightened pas
sengers had reached the platform when
the cars jumped the rails, and when
they turned over in another moment
they were hurled into the ditch in an IN
discriminate mass of men, women and
children, the latter shrieking fearfully
as they went down.
