HEELS OF LIGHTNING
Gunfire Goes a Blue Streak
the for Metropolitan
Handicap.
(By the Associated Press

New York, May 7.-Gunfre won the
handicap at Morris Park today before
45 900 cheering spectators, who had made
Mr.. Whitney's swift filly. the favorite
in the betting. With T. Burns in the
saddle she went the Withers mile in
1881, breaking the track record by one
second and the record for the race by
one and one quarter seconds. She dis
played speed and gameness and was the
first of her sex to win this classic.
Two lengths behind the winner, TO
whom he gave four pounds weight ae-
cording to the scale and nine pounds
actual load. came Old England, THO ,a-
nous sprinter of Green B. Morris, ridden
by Shaw. Lux Casta, the Albemarle's
stable entry, with Cannon up, was third.
These three had the race among them for
the start. Articulate, who was pulled
up by his rider, the apprentice, Larsen,
when the barrier rose, ran a remarkable
race and finished fourth, length behind
the tired Lux Casta.
Gunfire was ahead when the barrier
went up, but was a bit slow to get going.
Along the back stretch Old England held
his lead of length or more, while New
York dropped back giving first place 70
Gunire and soon to Lux Casta. Next to
the last away from the barrier, Cannon
rushed his mount-too speedily trainers
say-and at the turn was racing neck
and neck with Old England and Gunfire.
Like team they came around to the
home stretch and there Lux Casta was
beaten.
Down through the long stretch home
raced the Morris and Whitney horses,
side by side. Gunfire looked to be beaten
quarter of mile from home Close
on the rail she seemed to falter, while
Shaw with whirling whip arm took the
big baY neck to the front.
Burns never stopped riding, however,
and soon Gunflre was neck and neck with
the leader Then a head and then the
leaders reached the grandstand enclosure
the Whitney filly drew clean. while a
perfect thunderbolt of "Gunfire" roared
from every bench. Increasing her lead
the beautiful daughter of Hastings and
Royal Gun won handily.
Articulate's splendid race led to an
offer Of his owner, w. c. Deb Lopez, to
match him against Old England, same
distance and weights as in the MetropoIi-
tan and quickly agreed to a match for
$1,000 a side. John Madden, who sold
Gunfre as a two year old to w. C. Whit
ney. bet $50 on the flly, large wager
for him. E. E. Smathers, owner of Lord
Derby and McChesney, waged $4,000 on
Gunf1re and won $4,000.
In the Meadow Brook Hunters trial
steeplechase, Seenus was first home but
was disqualified, and the race given to
Betsy Ross fifty to one shot with The
Duffer, another fifty to one, second.

CALLED HIM A WIND BAG.
Postmaster Payne for This Reason Gets No
Satisfaction Out of Tulloch,
(By the Associated Press.)

washington, May THE feature of to-
days developments in the postoffice in
vestigation was a letter by Seymour w
Tulloch for many years cashier of the
Washington City postoffice to Postmaster
General Payne. in reply to the latter's
requesting any information Mr.. Tulloch
might have to sustain his published state
ments charging Irregularities in the
Postoffice Department and the Washing
ton City postoffice several years ago.
Mr.. Tulloch in his letter which was
mailed to the Postmaster General this
evening, takes exception to personal COM
ments of Mr.. Payne, and refrains from
giving any facts bearing on the investiga-
ton. suggesting that the officials to
whom Mr.. Payne has written have al
the necessary data if they choose to give
it, While thus refusing TO give any in
formation in the letter under the cir
cumstances, Mr.. Tulloch said tonight that
he is ready to substantiate everything
he has said and that he wants first to
read the replies of the parties TO
the Postmaster General, before going into
details.
In his letter Mr.. Tulloch says the Post
master General is reported to have re-
ferred to him as O. mere wind bag" as one
who should make good his hot air or be
publicly branded as a calumniator and a
slanderer and liar"
Mr.. Tulloch says this language was APP
parently unnecessary and certainly I'M
dign.ffed
In an interview Mr.. Tulloch reiterates
his charge that Thomas w. Gilmer, an ex-
pert, was removed by the Comptroller
while investigating postoffice affairs, and
prohibited by written orders from con-
tinuing his inquiry.
At the Postoff1ce Department today
Postmaster General Payne said there
were no new developments in the inves-
tigation. The inspectors are still at work
in most Of the branches Of the depart
ment and Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow has reported to Mr..
Payne that he expects to submit his re-
port on the investigation between June
and June Is. The recent establishment
of salaries of clerks in the presidential
pcstoffces is being minutely examined
and it is expected that the rolls of the
large postoffices will have to be over
hauled.
