TALENT HAD MANY FACERS
Johnny Mas the Only Winning Fa-
yorite at the Island Track.
OUTSIDERS WERE IN CLOVER
Emily ". Began the Havoc By Capturing
the Opening Event. While Detroit, Black
Child, and Pink Il. Were Also Successful
1t Long Prices-Hurphy Rode Winners

It was another day Of sad experience for
tho public yesterday at the Island track, as
the favorites were bowled over in four out Of
the i've events, while Johnny, tho winning
first choice, was not very strongly fancied.
The winners in the other races were at all
sorts OF prices, ranging from 9 to 2 against
Detroit to 40 to marked at the close against
Black Child, while at one time 100 to was
obtainable. The owner Of Black Child didn't
have dollar on to win, but was fortunate
enough to play the horse second and third at
good odds.
Starter Cassidy showed great improvement
In his work and besides had no long and tire
some delays at the post. the result being the
opportunity for the people to return to the
city in reasonable time. ALI the finishes were
close and the racing was much above the
average. The downfall Of the talent began
In tho opening event, when Emily W. at 10
to l came with rush on the inside and
Tipped Pilgrim on the post by head.
The second race was generally considered
to be duel between Keime and Grand Prix.
but after the latter had led we'll down the
stretch Detroit got up and won by a head. In
the third Johnny was installed favorite, but
Gladiator and Tedd Gegg were both well
backed. Johnny won by q half length, with
Little Charlie, Delury. and Needmore heads
apart in the order named.
Benjamin was practically held ont by the
books, as to was the best on offer, with
Miss Bess at fours. The latter was in the
lead until within ten feet OF the wire. when
Black Child got his neck in front and kept il
there, Condor fairly outriding Donnelly.
Gypsy was third. a half length before Benja-
min. In the closing race Middlestone and
Mirthwood were the best played, but Pink H.
won by length from Successor. with Middle
stone in third place. Summaries:

Bank Stock Transfers.

We do not see the wisdom of Senator
Osborne's bill that provides for register
ing the transfers of bank stock in the
office of the clerk of the superior court
Why should the holder of bank stock he
required to go to the expense and trouble
of notifying the public that he has trans
ferred his stock?
The law now requires that stockholders
in banks, when they transfer their stock.
shall notify the public through the public
prints in order TO avoid liability for the
obligations of the bank. This law should
be repealed. 1t is an obstacle to the pros
perity of the banks. Many people hesitate
to buy bank stock on account of it. The
banks should be relieved of all regulations
that are not absolutely necessary for the
security of their stockholders and de-
positors.
We do not see how the public is bene-
fitted by the existing law, or would be by
the one proposed by Senator Osborne.
Those who buy bank stock, or
deposit money in the banks, do
not search the newspapers to find
out who of the stockholders are trans
ferring their stock Neither would they
go to the clerks office to find out who have
transferred their stock. For a banks
standing they depend upon the bank S
statements and the results Of the exam
nations made by the bank inspectors.
The character and business standing OF
the president and directors of a bank
also have something TO do with the con-
ndence the public has in the institution.
The present law requiring transfers to
be published ought TO be repealed. and
Senator Osbornes bill. requiring trans
