An important change has occurred in
the business organization of the National

addition to safe deposit business, they
will conduct a savings bank, where de
pOsits from ten cents mp will be received
and upon which interest will be allowed.
Another effect of the change will be to
allow the company to act as trustee, ex-
ecutor, administrator, guardian and re-
Ceiver of estates.
The company is very strong one
financially and in the character of the
gentlemen who manage its tiduciary af-
fairs. Many of the leading business men

their names appear on its list of directors
The officers are Benjamin i, Snyder
president; Charles Il. Glover, first vice
president; John NJ. Johnston, second vice
president; 4. Francis Riggs, treasurer,
and Albert l.. StuteYant, secretary.
The strength of the board of directors
is fully illustrated by the following list of
names: William +. Clark, Lewis Gle
plane, Mathew G. Emery, Thomas Hyde,
Charles \, James, General John G.,
Parke, II, Ross Perry, George II. Plank,
Y, Q, Robbins, John #, Rogers, Henry A,

Tenny Has Broken Down.
The favorite for tue Brooklyn Handi
cap Tenny, broke down in trial gallop
at the Morris Park race track last
Wednesday. Mr.. Pulsifer, together with
number of friends, went to the Morris
Park track last week to see how the sway
back son of Rayon d'Or was standing the
severe training necessary for the coming
campaign. II was resolved to extend
Tenny in mile gallop. The result was
blank disappointment, for the game colt
pulled up unmistakably lame after de,
what will probably be his last mile in
l;574.
An examination into the cause of the
lameness was at once made by DIR. Shep-
pard, the veterinary surgeon. 1t revealed
the fact that the horse had broken down
in the coronet of the off hind foot. Tenny
has always had weakness in that par
tiCular spot. In 1889 the great colt had to
be taken out of training on that account.
nQCGn1 wi AFn
last spring a stronger and better colt than
ever, His memorable campaign and his
attempts to defeat the king of the Ameri-
can turf, Salvador made last season one
of the most brilliant on record. Although
Tenny was kept in hard training until
the season was well advanced his owner
and trainer always felt little uneasy
about him. He retired 10 his winter
| quarters with Just the faintest suspicion
| of lameness about him. He has been uu-
| able to throw it off and the training has
| proved too much for him.
The injury is severe and will neceSsi-
| tate his retirement from the turf. The
| veterinary surgeons hold out no hope that
| he will be able to race again. Mr., Pul-
sifer says that he will give Tenny q long
| rest, and, If he OutgrOws ms trouble, will
| put him IN training again for some OF the
| fall events. In the event of his not run.
ming again renny will 90 to the stud. Mr..
| Pulsifer already has several standing
offers for him, but will not retire him
until all hopes of his being able to run
! again have been abandoned.

Hall May Not Meet Fitz.
Jim Hall arrived in Denver yesterday.
The celebrated Australian pugilist and his
hacker, Joe Harris, have had such seri-
Gus rupture that each man is now travel
ing on his own account. Harris threatens
to return to the antipodes. Hall broke
away at Ogden, because Harris wanted
him to return to San Francisco instead of
coming East. Jim Hall does not seem
the least Disconnected, but declares that
he has broken with Harris for good. He
is in communication with "Parsonn
Davies, and will accept an offer Of $1,000
purse of ten rounds with Jack Ashton in
Chicago. The chances are that he will be-
come the star of combination to be
formed by Davies, and that he will be
seen here later on, when the organization
makes an Eastern trip.
Speaking of his late backer, Hall says;
Joe Harris Is all right, but he never bets
a dollar unless he's got q sure thing, and
he tried to make fake deal with me,
which was really the cause of our split.

here again. If / don't get go before
leave, III fight, not box, mind you, any
man, no matter what is weight Is in the

upshot of his rupture with Harris may be
an indefinite pOstpOnement of his antici-
pated meeting with Fitzsmmons,
