RUNA WAYATA HORSE SHOW.
SEVERAL PEOPLE INJURED AND MANY
NARROW ESCAPES AT NEW

There exciting time yesterday afternoon
at the horse show given in New-Rochelle, when
Maxey, a big black gelding. driven by Mrs.
Charles Holloway in the womans runabout
class, came into collision with another run
about driven by Mrs Charles Stewart Towle, of
Mamaroneck. Mrs. HollOways horse became
frightened and dashed around the circle, which
was crowded with vehicles filed with spectators.
Mrs. Holloway in a fair way to win the
blue ribbon when her horse began to prance.
She attempted to hold Maxey. but he rose on
his hind feet and bolted directly through the
crowd. The runabout was overturned and Mrs.
Holloway thrown out and dragged until
she insensible. The runaway thoroughbred
then dashed into a crowd of women and chill
dren. The horse jumped over little boy with
out hurting him, tore piece of skin from the
side of a horse owned by Newberry D. Thorne.
and then crashed into tree, tearing the
about to pieces. He was stopped by a barbed
wire fence, half mile from the judges stand

THE GRAIN FIGURES FIGHT.
LITTLE CHANCE OF SETTLING DIFFERENCES BE
TWEEN CHICAGO BOARD AND THI1E-
GRAPH COMPANIES

Advices received from Chicago yesterday by grain
brokers in this city made 1t clear that there was
little possibility OF the Chicago Board Of Trade and
the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies
settling their differences. In the of no agree
meht being reached the telegraph companies Will
discontinue to report the Chicago grain prices after
the end of the present month In the effort to over
come the bucketshops the Chicago Board of Trade
proposes that quotations shall be sent out only at
intervals Of five minutes and to this demand the
telegraph companies have refused to accede The
question OF forming a telegraph company which
shalt be controlled by the Board of Trade Is now
being considered. The outcome Of the struggle ia
looked forward to with considerable by the
grain brokers in this city. The New-York Produce
bility of taking advantage of the opportunity to
draw National attention to it's own transactions by
having its quotations substituted those of the
Chicago market.
James G. Marshall, Of the firm of MCINTYRE &
Wardwen. commenting yesterday upon tho stua-
ton, said:
By discontinuing the quotation system new uni
VersaIy used IN all exchanges, the Chicago Board
OF Trade would only njure its own business and
produce but little effect on the business done by
bucket Shops as 1t has been found In the past that
the latter always manage In some way to obtain
quotations from other than official sources. The
most serious effect on trading will be to do away

GUS blow to Chicago and would bring a large
amount OF business TO this city which has hitherto
been confined to Chicago.
