Goodwin caught Our Nugget firing in
the final drive and easily took the
place from her by three lengths, while
Our Nugget lasted long enough TO
hold the third place from Conville by
the same margin. :;
Escutcheon in a Hard Drive.
Escutcheon, the favorite for the last
race, had the time of his life to win
the closing event. The surething play
ers settled on his chances as the one
sure bet of the day and from his
opening price of six to five he was
played until at post time even money
was the best to be had. Uncle Jim
was thought to have the next best
chances and after the warm up for the
race, the wise players made a rush to
get aboard at the prevailing price.
When post time was at hand he was
backed several points. Uncle Jim and
Escutcheon were the quickest to get
away and forced a fast pace all the
way When the turn for home was
reached Uncle Jim had enough and
Escutcheon assumed the lead. Cano-
plan, saving ground On all the turns,
moved up with a rush and almost
nipped the favorite at the post, being
defeated only by nose. Restless
Lady was probably the best in the
race. but was badly messed about and
finished in the third position.

against her chances. Hoyle was sup
posed to be one of the contenders in
the race and by reason of the injury
to Jockey Glasner, who was scheduled
to ride him, was held at liberal price.
When Irwin was put up on him the
layers heightened the price. Anna
Smith was the quickest to get away,
forcing fast pace, raced the favorite.
Pho Pico, into defeat, then drew away
in the closing strides to win as her
rider pleased. Pho Pico, the favorite,
always held the others safe and was
an easy second, while Sallie Savage
could never improve her position in
the race, and finished third.
Autumn Rose Wins in GaIIop.
. Autumn Rose the favorite in the
fourth race, romped home an easy
winner as her rider pleased. The
race was supposed to be between Our
Nugget and the favorite and they
were played to the exclusion of every.
thing else in the race. Our Nugget
was the quickest to get away to poor
start and making the best of her ad-
vantage she opened up a good lead. At
the far turn Cole, who had the mount
on Autumn Rose, let out a rap on the
favorite and he shot to the front,
racing Our Nugget into defeat, drew
away in the run through the stretch to
win by fee lengths pulled up. Beth

night commencing the government
action and denying the investigation
was caused by complaints of Bears.
He also absolves the exchange from
any official connection with the mat.
ter. His statement in part is as fol.
lows:
There is no question as to the
transactions on the New York Cotton
Exchange involved in the inquiry.
The idea that the government has
been induced by the Bears is an insult
to the administration"
Saying many of the contentious OF
the Bulls are mistaken, he says:
1T is stated New York is still the
cheapest market. No one with a
knowledge of prices of cotton in Bre-
men and Havre could make such a
statement

ton will be resumed tomorrow.
PATTEN STANDS PAT.
James A. Patten, of Chicago. denied
fatty today that he is associated with
any other interests in the cotton mar.
ket, and said he proposed to stand by
his present position in the market.
He said:

instituting proceedings which end to
confuse the entire trade"
