DONOHUE HARD PRESSED
Clarence Saunders, Washington
Boy, Gave Him Race.
Famous Skater Lasted Long Enough
TO Win by Half Lap-Meets
Some Good Men Tonight.

1t was an enthusiastic crowd that wit
messed the skating races at the Ice Palace
at Convention Hall last night. Fully
5000 were present and they were rewarded
for their trouble by seeing the closest
race that has yet been run. Joe Donohue,
the famous skater, getting the decision
after desperate struggle by a short
half lap.
Clarence Saunders, a Washington boy,
who gives promise OF making very fast
man on the steels, was the one 10 give
Donohue such tight race. True, Joe was
asked 10 give him five Ia ps in three mile
race, but gain Saunders had a fall during
the race which set him back a great deal
and as the result turned out lost him the
decision.
Besides Saunders, two other men, John
son, and Inglefretz, met the champion, The
former had six laps handicap, While Ingle-
fretZ only had two and a half. The Balti-
more boy had two ba dfails which accounted
for the poor showing that he made. As
it was he was close third to Saunders.
Donohue's time for The three miles was
was 9:34 l2, which, con nsidering the
size OF the track and the short turns, is most
remarkable. He turned the first two miles
of the journey in ell. When Saunders
fell DOnohue was right behind him, and as
he was hedged in by another man, he could
not get out OF the way in time. Nothing
daunted. however, he gave n short leap
and, passing safely over Saunders back,
continued on as if nothing had happened.
Tonight's races give promise OF being
the best of the week. Ecsides Ingle-
frctZ, Saunders and Eisner. Bagg, the
champion skater Of Massa chusetts, viii
be one or Donohue's competitors. He
is said 10 be wonderfully fast man, and a
close and exciting contest is looked for

the Bids.

The total amount OF bids for the bond
issue opened yesterday at the Treasury De-
partment wilsot be known today, but it was
wen beyond 100000, 1000.
The Treasury Department was simply
overwhelmed by the enormous number of
bids received. With fifteen expert clerks
at work scheduling the bids, at O'Clock
last night, they having worked necessarily
since 8 in the morning, / 200 bids remained
unscheduled. They will be copied today.
1t will take many hours of hard work TO
straighten out the tangie as to the bids
received and the prices offered. In spite
OF thecare exercised by the committee, which
opened the bids, many unavoidable errors
were made in announcing the bids.
ERRORS WERE PLENTIFUL.
AS proof of this it may be mentioned
that a number of offers from prominent
Eastern financial institutions, all appa-
rently acting in concert, were read out as
being at 110.75. This had progressed for
some time when the correction was suG-
gested by one OF the parties in interest,
that all those bids were at 110.075. In
future readings they were so announced.
The official analysis OF the figures will
determine the result, and this will be neces-
sarly work OF great labor.
The great feature of the bidding was
the offer of j. =. Morgan's syndicate,
which as now composed, includes only his
own banking house, the Deutsche Bank OF
Berlin Germany; and Harvey Fisk &
Sons Of New York. They proposed to take
the entire issue at 110.6SS7. Only one

MOnJAN . INA Il.
Mr. Pierpont Morgan, after figuring on
the bids received, said last night the he
estimated that he would be awarded on
his bid about cooper cent OF the 100000
000 He reached the conclusion simply
from hearing the various bids read, as he
did not think that more than S40,0O0,000
bids above that figure had been made.
Scarcely more than one-third of the actual
I bids received are included in the imperfect
lists now published Several thousand
bids below the obvious limit of acceptance
are omitted.
Bids for many millions of dollars coming
from New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Illinois, Connecticut, Virginia, Maryland,
Nebraska, South Carolina, North Carolina,
Indiana, Michigan, Louisiana, State of
Washington, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and in fact every State of the Union, thrown
into the most iucongruous state of juxta-
position, and quite a number of offers from
! Canada We're received at prices ranging
| from 100 dowDwards.
LOTS OF SMALL BIDS.

remarkable. The 500 offers ran up into
the hundred ds and at fairly good prices,

| The offers By all classes of small bidders
| below the 10 and a fraction limit, which
seems to shut off the issue, were still more
| numerous. An encouraging feature in
these offers was that 50 many OF those OF
| large amounts, ranging in many cases up to
/ one or more millions OF dollars, came from
! fiduciary institutions which thereby indi-
| Gated that they had a better outlet than
| that offered by United States bonds at the
price at which they will undoubtedly be
awarded.
One of the curious incidents of the
day was the fact that the bid of the Union
Trust Company of New York for SIS, ,0Oo,-
600, at 110.075, almost escaped notice
| in the n,onotony of the reading while
the bid OF the Morgan syndicate was
received with applause.
