CLAREMONT, Ont, Dec n.-MeSSrS.
Graham Brothers, the owners of the horse
Royal Standard, replying to the claim re-
Gently set up by Secretary Garrard of the
Illinois State Board of Agriculture, that he
was a ringer" have written letter to
Mr.. Garrard, in which they make the fol-
lowing statements:
Now, Royal Standard is not only no
ringer, but was entered in your classes at
your show in good faith and with a COM
plete understanding of the requirements.
Some time before the date set for the show
Mr.. Galbraith, an accredited agent of yours,
called on Robert Graham with a request
that he would make some entries He
pointed out that, according to the conditions
of the prize list, Royal Standard was not
eligible. He answered that the English GER
cepted. Accordingly, the. entry was sent
and the horse competed with the most sat-
isfactory results. When Mr.. Graham re-
turned home from New York, two weeks
after the show, he was confronted with the
dispatch in which you stigmatize Royal
Standard as a fraud, and also charge us as
conniving with one of the board officials to
consummate fraud. Not only has great
injustice been done our horse, but serious
dispersion has been made upon our good
name. We did not connive either Singly or
collectively, with any man to commit a
fraud, as you charge; nor can Royal
ringer We therefore request: First, that
your board will rescind its resolution dis
qualifying our horse; secondly, that you will
without delay forward us check for all
moneys won; thirdly, that you, sir imme-
diately retract your statements regarding
ourselves and our house; and fourthly,
that you cause the retraction to be pub
liShed in the same papers and in the same
way as the original statements, which We
are forced to characterize as slanderous,

COLT SOLD FOR 100000
FAST YOUNG THOROUGHBRED HAM
BURG CHANGES OWNERSHIP.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney
ting Board of Review Decisions.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. IL. - BILLY" Lake
land, the celebrated trainer, this morning
closed a deal for Hamburg, John Madden's
great two-year-old, and the colt will in
future wear the colors of w. L. Powers,
wealthy New Yorker When seen this morn
ing Lakeland admitted having bought the
colt but declined to state the price paid.
1t is understood from authentic sources,
however, that it was $60,00O the highest
price ever paid for q thoroughbred, with
the exception of st. Blaiz, which brought
100000. Lakeland and Madden went out 10
Churchill Downs this morning and looked
Hamburg over, and the great trainer ex-
pressed himself as being perfectly well
pleased with his purchase.
W. l. Powers, to whom the great colt Is
ostensibly sold, is we'll known in sporting
circles in New York, being the agent of
number of rich turfmen, who have him to
look after their interests and take charge
of any deals that may come up. While his
name is given as the new owner of Ham
burg, it is not believed that the colt has
been purchased by him for himself, but that
he is merely acting as an agent for one of
the rich racing men of the East. Special
kilograms indicate that the horsemen of the
Blue Grass region think ex-Secretary of the
Navy w. c. Whitney is the real purchaser,
though on this point Mr.. Lakeland declines
to talk. Some think that the Keenes are
the interested parties, but the leading
horsemen of the State are of the opinion
that it is ex-Secretary Whitney who has
thus startled the turf world by paying for
a two-year-old more than any other thor
oughbred save st. Blaise ever brought.
Hamburg'S sale recalls the killing that
was made on his first victory in the East
last summer, when he opened at 10 and Is
to at the track. The betting ring was del
uged with money and the odds were cut in
short time. But while the excitement was
at it's height at the track the agents of the
interested parties all over the country were
not idle, and every poolroom east of the
Rockies was touched up for large sums. In
Louisville it is estimated that from $780, 900 to
25,O was cleared up, and it is said even
a larger sum was taken from the rooms at
Cincinnati. 1t was one of the most skill
fully worked coups in the history of the
turf, and while many knew that there was
fast two-year-old in the Madden string,
no one knew just which one 1t was, and
consequently when he was entered in his
maiden race with Previous and a number
of other good ones, he was thought to be
entirely outclaSSed.
Hamburg is a brown colt, by Hanover
Lady Reel, the latter by Mamie Gray, the
dam of Domino, Correction and other noted
racers. His career has been sensational
one many horsemen considering him the
colt of the century He is literally engaged
In all the rich Western derbies. John e.
Madden bought him as yearling and has
repeatedly refused offers of 900 for him.
The late Hon. Charles Fleischmann is said
to have offered that sum for the great colt.

and the total volume of transactions as
low as that of yesterday and was smaller
than for many months the total sales
numbering only $4,000 shares. 1t is oD-
vious that the large buying interest which
have been so powerful factor in the re-
cent huh movement, have retired from the
field = Il time ana the orders through
commission houses, the medium through
which the public at large operates, have
shown corresponding falling off. There
are some who believe that the large bull
operators have already liquidatcd their
holdings and taken their profits. Ger
tain it is there was no evidence intodays
market Of any heavy offerings of long
stock. The recent conspicuous bulls new
ertheless seemed to acquieSce and offered
little opposition to the bears. Practically
all of the professional room traders have
turned bears and their selling is called
short selling. Their most vigorous attack
today was directed against the coalers on
the assertion that the anthracite compa-
nies have been exceeding the allotted out
put and that there was no increase in de-
mand that made any advance in the price
of coal likely. Some of the prominent
industriais and the Grangers were also
under pressure. Whatever spurts of ac-
tivity were shown during the day were on
a downward course of prices and any
steadying of the markA or recovery
brought intense dullness indicating the
weak undertone.
