Tomorrow we'll go out to the Marathon race,
In honor of Timtohy Cla renee McGrath
And rubber with others-an of faces
At runners who skip DER the green grassy path.
q r.
T. Clarance know, is eminent Grecian
And the contest will ha I've Athenian air
That surely will please us before its completion,
And the classic environs will make the mob stare.
Sprinting twenty miles stunt is sumner,
And the winner must get weak in the knees;
In fact the fierce pace of Marathon
Won't allow him to linger and sneeze.
Then no for the grit of a Ma ration sprinter
And no for the knight Of the green grassy path!
He'll finish the course If it takes him all winter
To collar the coin of T. Clearance McGrath.

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Trading on the local stock exchange yes
terday was small in volume, at about the
same or slightly lower prices than the
previous day
The call for bonds was active. Gas Ger
tihcates and Washington Railway As be-
ing the leaders. The gas securities sold
at 1875 and the railroad bonds
at ssl4 10 ss9s- The demand for the latter
developed into an open bid for s50.05o in
one lot at SIS.
Both the common and preferred shares
OF the Washington Railway and Electric
Company went upon the record in small
lots ard slight reoessions from former
high prices.
II was expected by the onlookers out
side the raj yesterday that there would
be some activity in Washington Gas, but
those who went to the exchange to see
the fun we're disappointed. The stock Of
fered was less than 100 shares, and this
was bought in at 6s1s. while an option for
sixty days was taken on IG8 shares at 20
indicating that the buyer OF this option
expects the price TO go higher after call
another small option was taken also at 90
RumOrs about the exchange are TO the
effect that certain brokers are quietly
picking up the stock, expecting Il 10 20
co7eiserably higher In price. but the rea-
s0ns advanced for that belief are the old
stereotyped ones that have done duty on
the exchange for the past two years.
There IS. in fact, no more reason now for
expecting gas to 90 up than there has
been az any time IN the last two years.
The rise, If II comes. is based upon an
increase IN the capital stock Of the COM
paEy, which may or may not eventuate.
