nomination fees to all of the big stakes.
This is the way they read:
The Great American Stakes, for 2-year-
olds, $3.50 each; half forfeit, or S25 if declar-
ed by Jan. 1. 1895, with $1,000 added of
which $1,000 to second and $500 to third I;

So of these, the property of various own

With stable of twenty horses the for
felt list can easily run up to $4,000 a sea-
son.
Transportation is another item of ex-
pense; hut only assumes formidable pro-
portions when a selected representative
makes an excursion eastward and west
ward and gets no part of what he went
for. Transportation from one race meet
ing to another, tracks being so close
together, cost comparatively little, but
take, for example, the case of Mr.. Loril-
lard, who sent LampliglTter to Chicago to
run for the Great Columbus Handicap
Lamplighter was never heard of in the
race, and besides, was never afterward
the same horse he had been. For this oc-
casion Mr.. Cassatt loaned ms private horse
car. The weather being very hot, five
tons of ice were packed in the forward
end of the car. The pony which was
Lamplighter's chum, and without whose
company he would not bulge an inch; the
two premier stable boys and the pet ter
lltI, the SldDleS mascot ana trainer hug
gins completed the outfit. The car was
attached to a fast express train, kilograms
were sent ahead of the train to every sta
ton master at which the train stopped to
have ice ready should it be needed-and
all this for naught. This little excursion
cost Mr.. Lorillard almost $1,000. Then if
you have lot of sick horses on hand the
services of a veterinary are frequently re-
quired, and this runs into a lot of money.
A stable of horses in training must win
each season $4,000 to 100000 before the
owner has cleared the expenses of stock
farm, yearling farm and racing stable. If
no crack jockey is retained, but chances
are taken on securing the services of the
free lance jockeys, of course a material
saving is effected. Most owners take these
chances because of the uncertainty of the
true racing form of their two-year-olds,
for nothing is so CALLING as to see your jock
ey getting his $4,000 or $1,000 a year. stand
ing on the ground with no horses you can
give him a mount on. 1t Is bad enough 10
pay the other bills. but this is one that
rifles"
1t will be seen that to organize and main
tain such a turf establishment as is here
outlined requires a large capital and an
amount of nerve and boldness that is equal
to that required in any other great enter
prise. What the gentlemen herein referred
to desire above all is to win with horses
of their own breeding, and to maintain the
dignity and high reputat ton of the sport
OF thoroughbred racing. f7

WARNER WANTED ADVICE.
Asked the Board of Trade Directors If lie
Should Appoint Committees.

Asked the Board of Trade Directors If lie
Should Appoint Committees.
At the meeting of the board of directors of
the board OF trade yesterday afternoon, after
the reply to Knights OF Labor arguments
against the bond bill had been read,
President Warner called attention to the
fact that at O recent meeting of the board of
trade committees on the subjects OF gas. cleo
tricity and telephone were provided for and
he asked the opinion of the directors as TO
the best time for appointing these commit
tees.
As the session of Congress was drawing to
a close, he doubted if the work Of these COM
mittees at this late day would have any effect
on legislation. He wanted to act in fair
spirit, but ii there was any objection by the
board of directors the appointments would lie
deferred.
Mr. Theodore W. Noyes said that mas
much as the board of trade had taken action
on the subject the matter was entirely in the
hands of the presiding officer and the di-
rectors had nothing to do with it.
Mr.. Charles c. Glover moved that, in the
opinion OF the board of directors, the ap-
pointments should not be made at the pres
ent time while the bond bill is pending, but
in few moments withdrew it.
President Warner stated that he had re-
ceived communications from various real es-
tate men to the effect that the agitation of the
question of defective sewers in the District
was injuring their business. In his replies to
these communications he had said that the
board of trade would not fail to use every
legitimate effort to secure the passage Of the
bond bill regardless of their prot st.
The board took no further action regarding
the appointment of the gas and telephone
committees and it is not known when Mr.
Warner will make his selection

Stretched on cot in the Emergency Hos
Pital last night was Eugene Bush, plumber,
twenty-eight years OF age. with desperate
razor wound in his throat, exteuding almost
from ear to ear. and his LETT hand nearly sew

eomatose condition from excessive loss Of
blood when Surgeon Kerr ana the hospital
staT commenced work On his ghastlY
wounds.
The police report states that Bush at
tempted suicide by seyering the veins aad
arteries Of his arm and then drawing the
razor across his throat. This view Of the
matter Is borne out by several occupants OF
the house IN which Bush resided. They say

There he saw reflected the figures Of tive

Bush turned about. he said, one Of the men
cut him across thethFOat with the razor, and
while struggling for the possession OF ths
weapon his wrist was cut.
UNABLE TO MAXI Az CUTCRY.
He was unable to make an outcry, hs
added. owing to the deep cash in his throat,
and the men escaped while he fell to tbs

This is the account OF the cutting the in

TRIAL OF CAPT. HOWCATE.

Evidence Heard Relating to the Photo
graph of the Alleged Forged Signature.
The question of proving a forgery from a
photograph of signature. instead of the sig
nature itself, came up yesterday in the trial
of Capt. Henry W. Howgate for embezzle-
ment. The forgery charged against Capt.
Howgate is of the signature of Treasurer Il.
II. Rochester, of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. to a voucher for services
rendered by the telegraph company to the
Weather Bureau. That voucher is lost.
HIr. Rochester has on several occasions
seen it, and testified that his signature is
forged, but this testimony cannot well be
used in the present case. The government,
however, has photograph of the voucher,
and Mr.. Rochester says it is perfect repre-
sentation OF the original
He was about to testify yesterday
that his signature as found on the pho
tograph was false when Judge Wilson, for
the deiense, interposed an objection. II was
well known, he said, that photographs varied.
That the original vouchers were lost he said,
was no fault OF the defendant. He could not
therefore be convicted upon the insufficient
evidence OF Photographic copy.
To Il question of Judge McComas, Mr.. Bir-
ney. Tor the government, replied that it was
not known who made the photographs. but
two witnesses had testified that they were
perfect reproductions
Judge McComas held that the photograph
could be used. Judge McComas also decided
at the opening of the trial yesterday that for
the purpose OF showing a systematic robbery
OF the government in connection with the
embezzlement charged in the present case,
the testimony as to the alleged embczzle-
ments OF February Is. 1879 and other dates
would be admitted. He said the jury. how
ever, would be instructed that a belief Of
guilt in those cases must not be allowed alone
to cause conviction in the one now on trial.
Judge Wilson noted exceptions to both
these rulings.
Treasurer Rochester testified that no bill
was ever rendered by the company for the
so, 100 check of February Is and the money
had never been received by him. He made
the same statements regarding check Tor
$12, 460. u dated August q. 1880.
Judge Wilson asked him a number OF ques-
tions regarding his acquaintance with the
signatures OF Gen. Myer ard Capt. Howsate.
Mr.. Rochester said he knew Capt. Howgate's
signature very we'll, but did not feel sure that
he could identify that of Gen. Myer.
Martin r. Thorpe. property CLERK OF the
War Department testified as TO accounts
passing through his hands in 1880.
The trial will continue to-day, beginning
with the cross-examination of Mr.. Rochester
Mr. Worthington is still to sick to attend.
