FIST TIME AT ROCHESTER,
Budd Dobie Drives Nancy Hanks ii
2.12k and Wins $4,000.

S.1SA and Wins 49,
ROCHESTER, N. ", Aug. 13.-The
weather this afternoon was cool and
pleasant, and, as usual, large crowd
was in attendance at the grand circnit
races. The favorites gave the sports the
shake in all but one race Between the
second and third races came the special
feature of the day-Nancy Hanks effort
to beat her record of ria for purse Of
$4,000.
The mare was in splendid form and
her work exceeded the anticipations of
her most ardent admirers. Budd Doble
was up behind the mare and as he drove
up the track he was forced to doff his
cap again and again in response to the
cheers of the spectators.
Nancy came down for the word amid
deafening applause and shot away at a
great clip, accompanied by runner II
was quick time to the quarter, which
was made in 32q. From there to the
half the mare made her slowest time
$50.
Doble scarcely urged the girl, and the
third quarter was passed in .33s. In the
stretch the mare was pushed and re-
sponded in great style, and turned out
the last quarter in .324. The runner
could hardly keep up the pace, and il
required all the riders ability to finish
first. When the time-2. 124-was hung
the spectators went wild with enthu-
siasm.

What is the "milling" on dollar or
other coin? Probably not one person
in five hundred would answer this
simple question correctly. There is a
popular belief that the corrugations on
the rim of dollar are the milling. A
Chronicle reporter thought so, too, until
the point happened to arise in CONVEX
sation with Q. NJ. Gorham, coiner at the
San Francisco mint. Mr.. Gorham went
into the coining-room and picked up a
"blank," round piece of plain silver
cut out of silver bar. 1t had gone
through one machine, which had slightly
rounded the edges. The blank was
dropped In milling machine, and when
IL came out, second or two later, the
rim was fiat and the edges of the rim
were raised a little above the level of
the sides. The verb milling" is this
raising of the rim of blank piece of
money, and the noun milling" is this
plain raised rim without reference to
any corrugations anywhere. The pur-
pose of the milling is to protect the sur
face Of the sides from wear. The milled
blank was dropped into stamping ma
chine, from which it dropped perfect
dollar While in the machine the piece
dropped into a corrugated collar, and
the piece, expanding under great pres
sure, the rim was forced into corruga-
tons and became similarly corrugated.
The parallel notches or corrugations,
generally called the milling, constitute
the "reeding." The term is adapted
from its architectural use to express a
small convex moulding, especially when
such mouldings are multiplied parallel
to each other.

PLAyED PIERoE,s GAME.
The Secretary of Cincinnati Loan As
ISOLATION Charged With the Theft of
RIh nuO

$4,000.
CIEcrNNATI, o. F, Aug. 14.-There have
been rumors afoat for several days that
the affairs of the Camp Washington
Building Association, in this city, were
not in desirable condition from bust
ness point of view. There is no official
report to support this rumor yet but it is
an open secret that the ex-secretary of
that association, Jacob Franzred, has
misappropriated $4,000 of its funds.
An expert has been working on the ac-
counts of the secretary for several days.
The result OF the experts investigation
was to have been officially reported at a
meeting Of the stockholders Of the asso-
citation last night, but it was not yet
complete. Enough is known TO warrant
the unofficial statement that his short
age is not less than $4,000.
Franzred's method, 1t is alleged, was
to draw tho money out Of the bank on
bogus checks, which he could easily do,
as his signature to an order for money
was sufficient under the rules of the
association. The state law now requires
the signatures of the president and treas
urer, as well as that of the secretary,
and says that the money shall be drawn
from the bank where the association
funds are deposited.
Jacob Franzred, the secretary charged
with defalcation, is still in the city. He
says if he is arrested he will give away
several other people who are in the
same box with him.

High tariff exploiters have frequently
''poinied with pride" to the alleged
manufacture of bona fide American tin
plate by Congressman Niedringhaus
Of ST. Louis. Although it was shown
that the Niedringhaus "plant" was a
toy concern and its product trifling, the
fact did not damp their ardor or modify
their emulation. Now comes along
Mr.. Niedringhaus himself, and declares
that he must have foreign workmen to
enable him to manufacture tin-plate,
and will have them despite the prohibit
ton of the treasury department, based
upon the view that their importation
would be violation of the alien labor
law. The net results of the boosted
efforts to establish another "infant in
dustry" at enormous cost to the con-
sumers of tin-plate seems to he these !:
LIST, That no tin-plate has yet been made
for commercial supply; I'd, that the tin
plate Industry" depends for its crea-
ton upon the addition of FOREIGN work
men to the already crowded works of
home labor, and Sd, that one Of the mos
vociferous of the high tariff Republicans
is forced into the position of defying the
Secretary of the Treasury in order TO
make good his promise that the manu-
facture Of tin-plate would be established
in this country. American tin-plate
comes high, but in the opinion of the
tariff monopolists we must have it.

A Little Too smart.

iorOutO MAIL.
Romieu, the famous Partisan wit, was
one day canght in shower and forced
to seek refuge in the doorway of the
Opera House. 1t was o'clock already,
and he had an engagement at the Cafe
de Paris for that very hour. The rain
fell in torrents. There was no carriage
to be had. He had no umbrella. What
was to be done?
While he was lamenting his bad luck
a gentleman with large umbrella
passed by. Romieu was seized with a
sudden inspiration. He rushed out and
grasped the stranger by the arm, and
gravely installed himself under the pro-
tecting umbrella.
Il am overjoyed to see you," he i'm
mediately began. II have been looking
for you for two weeks. l wanted to tell
you about Clementine."
Without giving the stranger time to
express his surprise, Romieu ratified
away with gossip and anecdote until he
had led the unknown companion to the
door of the Cafe de Paris. Then he
glanced at him with face of we'll
feigncd establishment
Pardon, monsieurW he cried; cit
seems l am mistaken"
81 believe So" said the stranger.
"Good gracious !" added Romeu. "Be
discreet; don't repeat, what I've told
you."
81 promise you"
"a thousand pardons ~
Romieu FASTENED within the cafe, and,
amid great laughter, told the adventure
to his friends. Suddenly one of them
SAID:
"Your cravat is rumpled."
Romieu put his hand TO his neck, and
turned pale. His pima valuable sap
phire-was gone. On further exami-
nation his purse and watch were found
to be gone. The man with the UNI
brella was pickpocket.
