iect Of AIR, Bakers visit TO the East Is to
call upon many of the stockholders Of the
companies which have lately gone into
the hands of receivers, with view to
uniting them unon some plan OF action
we want TO get together In this city
and hold a meeting, said Mr.. Baker,
There are thousands OF people in this city
as there are in almost every county in
this land. from Maine TO California. who
hive invested their money in second
mortgage bonds, preferred stock or COM
mon stock from which they have never
realized the price OF cup OF tea. These
great properties have been exploited by
those on the inside. while the great mass
OF the people Interested have had 60 shout
for their money. II we can get ,0gether
enough stockholders, and there ought Ia
he no difficulty in that we win demand
that these companies be organized upon a
just basis, and that our interests be re-
gaided. My plan Is to scale down the
bonds which are bearing and Z per cent
say or ) per cent. and then convert
all the other stock. preferred or common,
into one class Of security, say into Sec
ond mortgage bend. BY this method the
common stockholders can be paid a small
percentage upon their holdings from the
amount scaled off the nrst mortgage
bonds. We shall attempt to have this done
on uniform basis by all these roads
which are in the hands Of q receiver"

his mount back to avoid being pocket
ed. In the meantime Lookout dropped
out, and Aldebaran was heading at the
end ofthe first mile, st. Leonard at his
girth, with Ingomar a length away
Chorister and Clifford next. But sud
denly Garrison saw an opening and
shot Boundless forward. Martin drew
his whip and sent Clifford after him,
and the great Struggle was on in
earnest Aaral saw them coming and
drew ahead of Aldebaran. The order
as they swung into the stretch was st.
Leonard, Clifford, Aldebaran. Bound
less, Ingomar, Chorister, and St. Croix.
Down the course they came amid the
cries from the grand-stand and at a
sixteenth from home, Boundless passed
st. Leonard and Clifford as though
they were standing still. The crowd
were breathless with surprise for a
brief moment, and the cheers for
Boundless broke into pandemonium,
Boundless went under the wire at least
six lengths ahead, with plenty of run
left in him, in 2;S6, while st, Leonard
beat Clifford three lengths for the
place; Aldebaran fourth, four lengths

Ingomar seventh, Tyro eighth, st,
Croix ninth, Plutus tenth, Ramahe

his arms about the animals neck. He
was invited into the judges stand and
given $4,000 check. 1t is understood
Garrison got $4,000 for winning with
his mount. He was picked up on the
shoulders of the spectators and borne
