A TUMULTUOUS SCENE.
Cotton Opened Yesterday 10 Points Up, but
Was Hammered Down-The
Market Unsteady.

New York, Aug. THE cotton market
today presented another scene of tumult,
the boom of the past two days being con-
tinued. The prices at the opening show
ed an average of 1S points in advance Of
yesterdays. closing prices, which were
the highest known in the cotton market
in years. Such was the condition of at
fairs today that the line of demarcation
between the bulls and bears was obliter-
ated. Moore, Hannah & Co., who are
invariably on the bear side, helped the
upward jump of prices by joining the
bull contingent temporarily. Inman,
Swan & Co., Mcintyre & Wardwell, Leh-
man Bros, Henry Hentz & Co. and the
other big operators had two representa-
tives on the floor. Their operations were
conducted in such manner that the
smaller dealers could not definitely de-
termine whether they were combining to
advance prices generally or making pur-
chases individually. The selling went on
right merrily from the start for half an
hour after the opening Of the market,
and then there was slump, which sent
the shorts to cover, hut from which the
market rallied rapidly The total sales
up to II o'clock aggregated nearly 10000
bales.

was more of caricature on baseball
than an exhibition of the real article.
Smith was in the box for the visitors and
lasted nearly through the fifth inning,
in which time the locals had secured
fifteen hits and eight runs. Knox then
took his place and only gave UP five hits,
but a number of errors allowed the five
to net eight more runs The latter part
of the game furnished great amusement

WORLDS RECORD BREAKER
John R. Gentry PAGES Mile in 2:03 IA.
This Wonderful Stallion Not Only Reduces
the Worlds Record, but Also His Own.

Columbus, o., Aug. John r. Gentry,
the wonderful pacing stallion, reduced
the worlds record on the track of the
Columbus Driving association today and
established in connection with previous
fast time made on this track this week,
reputation as a fast track for this
course. The track was recently careful
ly remeasured by an engineer to set aside
charges that it was a short mile and
found to be feet over mile
The track was heavy from the rains of
last night. 1t was almost o'clock when
Gentry was brought out for a warming
record and the worlds record for pacing
stallions-2:031A. The other races in the
afternoon greatly improved the track
afternoon greatly Improved the tracks
condition. Two or three miles Were
paced at a lively clip, the great crowds
cheering Gentry. They wanted him to
win and he seemed to know 1t. Billy
Andrews drove him, and when he was
ready for thesstart John Dickerson, with
his little running horse, went to the half
to pace him. The second time he came
up to the line Andrews gave the nod.
Down the first quarter he flew like an
arrow but the watches showed that he
had consumed 031h in reaching the
posi-. Hope sof breaking the record fell
faster as 1t was noticed that the watches
indicated 1:0215 when he reached the half.
Then the effect of the running horse be-
gan to show itself, and he made the third
quarter in 0:291a. Down the home
stretch the horses came like the wind,
and 1t was evident that he was pushing
the record very close. Great cheers went
up at the magnificent exhibition of speed
at the finish, which rose again when the
time was hung out and it was officially
announced that Gentry had broken his
record and reduced the worlds stallion
pacing record from 2:03k to 2:03A.
