ENGEMAN ALL RIGHT.
Walbaum's Track May Get q
License Thursday.
Western Delegates Seem to Have
Had a Fruitless Trip.
Had to Pay Their Way Into the
Gravesend Race Track.

The meeting Of the turf representa-
tives in the rooms of the Jockey Club
last night was about as stormy as was
the weather. Edward Corrigan. strange
to relate, was one of the coolest in the
party. Keene. Hunter. Knapp and
Lackman were tempestuous. and Mr..
Hunter looked at one time as II he
was going to have an apopleptic ut, but
he managed to recover his temper.
Mr.. Keene did see fit to apologize to
Mr.. Engeman for the gratuitous insult
the Jockey Club. through Mr.. "Chappie'
6turgis, showed to the Brighton Beach
Association in the letter Of Saturday ad-
dressed to W. j. Speirs.
The revocation of the boycott rule In
the case Of Brighton Beach OF course
carries with 1t the annulment OF this,
enc Of the most Objectionable regula-
tons to the horsemen who have opposed
the Jockey Club. There will be l-2-S bet

be foreign books AT Brighton. In return

and the other Jockey Club servants.
Saratoga will probably get a license.
Just as Brighton did, and the privilege
OF foreign books. Just where MIR. Corri-
Ean and Mr.. Howard come in II Is hard
To see. They claim they have been
treated ~shamefully. by the American
Turf Congress. and the Jockey. Club
moguls profess to believe that Tarieton
and his ccnfreres were harsh to the chi,
cago men, but Corrigan and Howard
were informed that they cannot be ad-
mitted within the Jockey Club shrine
until they have made peace with the
Turf Congress and done whatever pen
ance the Western turf rulers see mt to
suggest.
One thing tina was especially shabby
In the treatment Of Messrs. Howard and
Corrtgan was the action OF the Brook
lyn Jockey Club in accepting pay from
these gentlemen for admission to The
Grayesend track yesterday.
Had Mr.. keene and Mr.. Hunter gone
70 Chicago to attend a conference there
with Messrs. Corrigan and Howard, they
would at least have been treated with
common courtesy. MI. Corrigan mas

BULLS GAINED MORE COURAGE
They Used the Outstanding Short
Interest to Put Up Stocks.
Burlington and Quincy Attacked
but Quickly Rallied.

The bulls displayed a little more
courage this morning, and advanced the
entire list, using the heavy outstanding
short interest as a lever with which to
lift the market. They experienced little
difficulty in alarming the bears in Chi
cago Gas n Sugar. The former rose !
to ~ SIS. and the latter 3-S to 100 5-S.
The gains otherwise were Ia to IA per
cent. but the volume OF trading was
light.
The gold shipments to Europe had no
effect upon the market, while the fact
that securities in London were quoted
firm served to encourage the traders on
the long side. st. Paul rose 5-s to
80 5-s, Rock Island LIZ to IS Ia. Missouri

his antics that reach back into ante-bel-

him the patriarch. Nobody has ever
seen him except for the briefest glimpse,
tut nobody ever put down his size as In
