taught the trade of bricltlaying. He

taught the trade of briclklaying. He was graduated two years ago.
 Prior to his graduation he became wider known by competing in various meets wearing the colors of the Aquinah Catholic club. being one of the mainstays of the team. He ma triculated at Mercersburg academy in the fall of 1910. where he came under the supervision of Coach James Cur ran, who was formerly a noted dis tance runner. Before going to Mer- cersburg to take Coach Sweeney's place, CurTan took a course of in- struction under the famous Mike Mur phy ewho predicted his success. Much of Meredith's success on the cinder path Is due to Curran's training. Un- der his watchful eye the boy devel- oped and showed marvellous improve ment. In fact, Curran developed such wonderful schoolboy track team that it proved invincible during the past season, winning every athletic meet in which it competed
 Meredith's first star performance oc- cured at .he university of Pennsyl- vanta's relays, when he ran the quar- ter mile as last man of his relay team in the remarkable time of 49 45 seo- onds on a track soggy and heavy be- heath a downpour of rain. His run ming enabled his team to hang up a rew record for the event.
 He showed that this was no flash in the pan when, on the following Satur- day. att the interscholastic games at Princeton, N. J.. he broke the worlds records for schooIboys in both the 400 yard and the half mile. He ran the half mile in the following week at Cornell in 1 minute 57 seconds. He could easily have made 8 new record on this day. but he had such a lead that he slowed down in the last 220 yards.
 At the middle states championships at Franklin field he modestly stated prior to running that he was satisfied with the records he had, and would content himself with merely winning. He then went out and equalled the intercollegiate record of AS Is seconds in the quarter mile. Meredith is a well developed boy. Tn action he works like clocBwork and is a beau tifl1l runner to watch He Is modest and unassuming and follows the train ing instructions thoroughly. At Wil- Hanson he played football, being a star halfback, but CuTran recognized his track ability at Mercersburg and instructed him not to go out for the team, fearing injury might ruin his chances for the track team.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

Nearly All of Important Securities Re.
 cord Substantial Gains.

New York, Aug. 2.APreliminary op- erations in stocks today pointed to a. continuance of the bullishness that characterized yesterdays dealings. Business in the first hour was on a scale representing a million shares session, and practically 'etery impor- tant security. Canadian Pacific except ed, recorded substantial gains. Ex- tensive realizing for profits followed the early outburst, however and by midday many gains had turned to slight losses. Activity was most pro nounced in Reading and Lehigh Val ley, the former taking leadership from Steel. American Gan, which was be- lieved to bear close market relationship 10 the anthracite stocks, also became suddenly strong, while standard rail- way shares were comparatively neg lected. Steel attained a slightly higher level than on the preceding day, but reflected pressure, which was ascribed in part to the severe structures direct ed against the Steel corporation by the Stanley committee.
 In the late dealings activity dwindled perceptibly and the markets tone be- came more irregular, while some of the hitherto strong specialties included much of their advance. This condi- ton was coincident with the publica- ton of the governments cotton report as of the latter part of July. showing a prospective yield much under the av.. craze of the past decade, with result ant nervousness in local cotton options.
 Local banks are believed to be in the way of making further cash gains tomorrow, but the loan account may show some expansion because of re- cent activity in stocks. Time money continued to hold firm with an in- creasing demand, while call loans are on the decrease.
 Bonds manifested a better demand, especially in the more speculative is- sues. Total sales. par value, aggre- gated $2,265,O ,O0O.
