ETHELBERT THE FAVORITE.
1t Looks as Though Belmont's Horse
Will Win the Brooklyn
Handicap.
Special to The sun.

New York, May 25.-Up to Yesterday
the running OF the Brooklyn Handicap
tomorrow was generally conceded to
mean duel between the two great four
vear-olds, Ethelbert and Jeal Beraud,
with field OF half dozen others dis
putting for third money.
Today there is another 7ersion. Ethel
bert is now looked to win as easily as he
did in the metropolitan, and the deser-
tion from the standard of Jean Beraud is
due to the final trials for the race which
were given yesterday.
Ethelbert's question was asked at
Sheepshead Bay, and his answer was a
mile and quarter in 2.07I, with plenty
in reserve. One well-known trainer who
watched him gallop tells the tale in the
following manner
"Why, he didn't run away until the
last furlong, and then he was far from
straight. Had he been hurried he could
have hung out mark of 2.05."
On this showing nearly all who
watched the trial take the same version
-tomorrow's rich prize is at his mercy,
no matter who starts; that is, provided
the track is fast.

Fredericksburg, Va, May 25.-FaiI
weather favored the presidential party

was distinctly Confederate weather, how.

Fitzhugh's Eloquent Welcome.
Mr.. Fitzhugh's grafton was Il striking
piece of oratorical work. He paid the
highest tribute to the Army of the Poto'
mae and to their Confederate opponents
saying that to erase the names of the
Spottsylvania battleheids from the his
tory of the American army would be tC
rob it of half its glory. The same blood
shed on the Fredericksburg battletields
still flowed in the veins of the American
soldiers. Wherever the American arms
might be in the future, whether those
who bore them were ex-Federals or ex
Confederates or descendants of the two
they would stand shoulder to shoulder
and their record would be one that would
take no luster from the glory won by the

MAKING NEW PRICES.
ADJUSTMENT OF QUOTATIONS
TO MEET CONDITIONS.
Volume of Business Doing Is of Be
tween-seasons Character Improve
ment Is Balanced by Dullness-Many
Desirable Japanese Coming.

Bradstreets says: "Readjustments of
price quotations to meet the changed con-
ditions Of supply and demand are stu
the leading features of the general trade.
In volume the business doing is OF be-
tween-seasons character, improvement in
some lines being counterbalanced by IN
creased dullness in other branches. That
the basic conditions of the trade are IN
the main of a favorable nature, however,
is proved by the continued good railroad
earning returns which come to hand.
Most prices are lower on the week, wheat
noting fractional drop, despite unfavor-
able French crop advices, whence an
enormous reduction in yield is predicted,
and also rather blue reports from the
Northwest early in the week, mended in
some respects by the rains mentioned.
Wheat, including -four, shipments for the
week aggregate 4,533, 40 bushels,

Peculiar Story Told by South Da-
kota Business Man.
A. Houseman, well-known business
man of Clear Lake, s. D., and an active
member Of the Methodist Church, return
ed to his home the other day after
three days absence, in semi-nude and
delirious condition. After recovering his
senses he declared that he had been
robbed of $1,000 by tall man and a
short man. Houseman had drawn 81
600 from local bank to make pay
ment on farm he had purchased. He
was held up two miles north Of the town,
chloroformed and robbed Of the money,
after which he was bound and carried in
to the cellar of an old house, where he
remained for three days without food or
water. On the evening of the third day
the same two men returned, took him
from the cellar to the lake. and told him
to swim or be shot. He declares that ne
struck out for the opposite shore, being
strong swimmer, but his weakness due to
fasting and exposure, compelled him to
stop and float on his back every few mo-
ments. When he stopped swimming the
men shot at him from the shore with re-
volvers. Houseman is well-known cltl-
zen and his story is generally believed.
