cashed at an Independence bank and
yesterday arrived at the bank here,
where it was at once discovered to be

notified and upon being shown the
check declared it to be a forgery. The
check was drawn to the order of

who but little more than a year ago

western tracks, stands at the top of
the list as the leading winning rider

jockey winning the most money. He
has earned more than $4,000 for his
employers during the season
HiIdebrand aspires to beat the
record held by c. Reiff of having the

OUTBIDS KING EDWARD

New York, Dec. 14.-Authentic COM
pilations of the highest prices paid in
1904 for thoroughbred yearlings on the
British turf show that Richard Croker
purchases cost more than those of any
other buyer there. For the FLY by
Gallinul, out of Mona, he gave SIS, 500.
The FLY by st. Simon, out of Tragedy,
cost Mr.. Croker $500. The two for
mer yearlings were the highest priced
ones sold in England in 1904. All three
of the FLIES were purchased with a
view to breeding to them later on, but
undoubtedly the prowess of the famous
Pretty Polly,a daughter of Gallinul, and

famous money earners begotten by St.
Simon, were Memoir, Signorina,
Lefieche, ST. Fruskin, Persimmon and
barley Dale. The sons and daughters
of St. Simon are equally potent. Sir
James Miller is the chief winning owner
of the British turf this year. Danny
Maher rode for this gentleman and his
winnings amountto about $40, 900. Rock
Sand was Sir James chief contributor
to this large sum. Major Loder is sec

ENORMOUS FUEL BILLS.
Santa Fe Uses Large Quantities of Oil
in Oil Burning Locomotives.

Few people realize how much fuel u
railroad uses in the course of a month.
Figures recently compiled regarding the
Santa Fe coast lines show that the av-
erage consumption of oil for locomotive
fuel every month is about 100000 bar
rels This great quantity is divided
among the several divisions as follows:
Los Angeles division $4,000 barrels, Ari-
IONA division $4,000 barrels, Albuquer-
que division 10000 barrels, and Valley
division 81 600 barrels. Besides this, con-
siderable coal is used at various points,
especially toward Albuquerque where it
is plentiful and oil is scarce. The Santa
F'e now produces about half the oil 1t
uses, but expects to still further in
crease it's California fields until it pro-
duces it's entire supply, and will also
extend it's use over other parts of the
system.

IN THE BLUE RIBBON CLASS.
The First Horse in Decade to Attain
the List of 100000 Winners.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE racing season of
1904 will go down in history as notable
year in many respects, but perhaps for
no other reason will it take higher rank
than from the fact that it is the first in
a decade to add a turf star to the small
list of winners of 100000 or more on the
American turf.
This year has added not one. but two
names to that select list and has in
creased the number of horses to attain
the signal honor to seventeen, Iroquois
having won his laurels in England, and
for that reason being omitted from the
list.
Though Irish Lad lost the Brighton
Handicap to game little Broomstick by
breaking down in the last few strides,
and thus received but 5000 from the
race, where otherwise ne would have got
ten $22 600, and the worlds record at a mile
and a quarter, that $1,000 was enough to
place him in the coterie of giants where
he belongs.
He was the first horse since honest lit
tie Sir Walter to attain such distinction;
none ever deserved the honor more.
And Sir Walter raced six years, Irish
Lad less than three. Irish Lad started
only % times and won $100575.
