WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Sentimental high authority
on railroad affairs in the United States
admits that there is more than a sea-
sonable dullness in railroad traffic just
now. 1t is thought in some circles that
knowledge of comparative heaviness
of the standard railroad stocks may
account for the dullness of the market
as a whole. So far the leading railroad
the traffic situation. Spectators be-
displaying a very fair undertone of
strength.
Nothing has developed to change the
narrow character of the market since
yesterday. Indications were that to-
days market will be a duplicate of
preceding days, insofar as the volume
of business is concerned. With no
definite trend apparent, il is reason
able to assume that after two days re-
cession prices may harden today and
advance mainly on short covering IL
on nothing else. On the other hand,
holders of stocks who have been be-
Gained for weeks, are becoming some
what weary of obtaining profits. and
many in lack of patience are selling.
The liquidation can be expected as long
as the market remains in its present
condition Brokers hesitate TO advise
purchases of specaities in this mar
ket, but experience shows that they are
the money makers under similar cir
cumstances in the past international
Harvester stockholders are TO receive
substantial bonus in addition 10 a
regular dividend, and Union Dry Goods
common can be bought with profit

tutions will enter. President c. H. Raitt made
the suggestion that the registration committee
induce as many of the out Of town athletic as
sociations possible to Join.
DR.. L. A. Barker. of the Orange Athletic

minutes Of discussion it was decided not to

teurs in this part of the state. Several of the

LISTS FOR HILL CLIMB ARE
ANNOUNCED
ORIGINAL NUMBER OF EVENTS
CUT TO ELEVEN
Four Will in Effect Be Match Races
with. Two Contenders, While Last
Contest Is Unlimited
Free-for-AlI

Thirty-fiVe cars will start in the
various events of the Altadena hill
climb on Washington's birthday next
Monday, according to the official list
of entrants prepared yesterday by w.
K. Cowan, manager of the races for
the Dealers association. There will
be but eleven events, however, instead
of the fifteen scheduled, because of the
failure of four of the events to fill with
sufficient entries This has necessi-
tated a REMEMBERING of some of the
events as against the numbers origin
ally given them in the previous official
schedule, but aside from this renum-
bering no other changes will occur.
Four Events Will Be Match
Four events will, in effect, be match
races, there being but two entries each
in the second event for runabOuts and
roadsters listed at $1001 to $500, in
which the Buick and Stoddard-DaytOn
are pitted against each other; in the
fifth event for roadsters listed at $1501
to $2000 in which the STANDARDIZATION
and the Kisselkar are matched; in the
sixth event, for touring cars listed at
$2001 to $780, when the Apperson and
Tourist will be the sole contenders,
and in the eighth event, for touring
cars listed at $30O1 to $4750, when the
Marmon and the Thomas will fight it
out alone.
All other events have three or more
entries, the largest field occurring in
the tenth event, when six cars will
race for supremacy. This event is an
invitation race, free for all for road
sters, for strictly stock cars.
Last Race Most Exciting
The really exciting event of all,
however. and the one in which the
greatest element of doubt and rivalry
undoubtedly will be manifested, will
be the final or eleventh event, which
is a free for all race, the restrictions
upon which have been entirely taken
off. so far as mere questions of "stock'
and stripping are concerned, there
being five entries in the event.
The clear weather is said to have
put the course in excellent condition,
and unless an unexpected downpour
should occur there is little doubt but

framed up Keogh and WoodrAff played

romped a few days ago Woodruff went to
Keogh as follows: Get all the boys down

Star Thistle already had won, but Keogh
did not know 1t, although he blamed the
slow messenger boys for failing to deliver
the telegram in time. In the Tribune of
