BLUE WILL, 2:26.

International Trotting Association VS.. |.
F. Gould, Prospect, Me-, and b. h. Blue
Will. Application for an order under rule
5 sect. s, rule 10 sect -
The record of Blue Wilkes (now known
as Blue Will, 2.26, his name having been
at Monroe, Me-, Sept. 10, 1897, was 2.31 It and
not 2.214 as enormously reported Case
dismissed.
This mistake in putting down the time
for the nile was made by E. II. Nealley,
then secretary of the Waldo & Penobscot
Agricultural Society. Some kind friend
seeing the mistake reported it to the Asso-
citation. Had he been a little sharper and
noticed the time to the three quarter pole
and subStracted it from the time for the
mile he would have proved the mistake as
he knew it to be and saved himself and the
Association the trouble of looking it up.
When the Association wrote to the present
secretary of the society, Mr.. F. II. Bowden,
for his entry last fall, he sent it to them, and
knowing it to be an error wrote them to
that effect and told them that if anyone was
to suffer it should be the Monroe Track AS
ISOLATION and not an innocent party, as he
knew me to be. | can tell you right here,
that for anyone to enter a horse at Monroe
under the present management it has got 10
be done properly, as Secretary BoWden is
very particular about those things.
wish all horses could be looked after as
closely as Blue Will has been since l began
to trot him. Then there would not be so
many ''ringers' to compete with as there
have been in the past. However, am per
fectly willing that he be looked up, and to
make it easier for those who are so inter
ested l will give them any assistance can
if they will only call on me or write.
Blue Will's present record is 2.26, made
| at Ellsworth, Me-, last fall. He never look
ed better in his life and is having a nice
season in the stud. After the stud season
| is over he will go into training TOR few OF
| the fall races. l. T. GOULD

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Feb 27.-Prices of stocks
yielded to a sharp attack late in the day.
today, and were carried between one and
two points below last night for the prin-
cipal market leaders. 1t was reported
that The banks were calling loans and
presumably forcing some liquidation. But
thu active demand from shorts to cover
atsthe decline indicated that short selling
played a considerable part in the break.
The serious inroads upon bank reserves
resulting from the weeks currency move
ment was the cause of the decline. Pre-
vipus to that the market had been neglect
ed and sluggish with sagging tendency
rather than actively weak. The VIGOROUS
support of the Wabash issues, some early
recovery from yesterdays weakness by ST.
Paul and an upward. tendency by Amalga-
mated Copper and few other stocks Serv-
ed as obstacles to the early tendency to
declife. Traders professed to be waiting
for formal announcement of the Rock
Island and st. Louis & San Francisco pro-
ject and definite information as to the
fate of the Aldrich financial bill this ses-
sion. An attempt was made to conject the
railway plan, but the dealings in Wabash
were by few room traders who dealt
with each other on very large scale. With
the surplus reserves of the banks down to
about s, 000, 900, last week, and with loss
for this week indicated in cash reserves
of within half a million of that amount.
it will be seen that a serious condition will
confront the New York money market un-
less some considerable offset to the re-
serve shrinkaSe has been affected by loan
