even, but Northern Pacific went off a
half Copper lost slightly. Some of the
speCialties were strong. Ice gained 4

TO CONFER

- called by :. b. HepbH chairman
OF the currency commission OF ;hy
American Bankers Association.
The chairman UI the commission has
called meeting OF presidents Of each
State association, representatives. Of
each clearing house in reserve cities
and has also invited representatives OF
clearing houses whether in reserve
cities or not, to attend the conference
to consider the currency bill as it now
stands.
The bankers are understood to take
the position that since no public hear
lnSS on the monetary measure have
been held and since not even the mi
norlty members Of the House Banking
and Currency Committee have been ad-
mltted to the caucus which decided on
the bill, the only way to get their views
before Congress is to hold the open
meeting in Chicago that shall be repre-
sentative OF all parts OF the country
and shall give opportunity for all views
to be publicly aired
1t is understood that the reason given
for holding the meeting in Chicago
rather than in Washington was that the
heat here is extreme.

lenge should be accepted on the terms
proposed by Sir Thomas Upton that
the competing yachts be limited to rs
feet on the water-line.
The deed of gift provides that the
challenger, if sloop, may be any
where from IS TO 80 feet on the water
line. The challenger can elect to sail
on any water line length within the
designated limits of IS and 80 feet,
and the defender has the same right,
and the larger, craft incurs a penalty
of time allowance. BY the deed of
gift Sir Thomas can challenge with a
65-foot boat, IL he desires, and the
New York Yacht Club can meet him
off Sandy Hook with a 90-footer,
though, of course, the defender would
be compelled to give heavy time al
lowance.
Sir Thomas's suggestion that both
yachts be limited to rs feet would bar
out the unbeaten 90-footer Reliance,
which many of the yacht club mem
bers believe could successfully defend
the cup,

Early in the present week George

best of her division. Ouida is fast
mare and in the past has done very
well at the local matinee events, yet
she did not take kindly to the short
turns over a half-mile track, and
they handicapped her materially.
In the autumn of 1911 Mr.. Stengel
shipped her to Lexington. and over
that track she marched a mile in
2:07A. over a straightaway course
like the New York speedway she
should, and doubtless will, pace a
half right at one minute. She must
do this to be winner in the big
city, as there are several PAGERS that
can pace that fast and these are
started regularly at the matinee
events
The chestnut pacing mare Lii,
2:14k, owned by John Gregory, who
has been running out for the past
four months, was taken up this
week, and will be logged regularly
from this time on. 1t is the pur-
pose of her owner to get her ready
to race this season, and he believes
that she has a chance to reduce her
record before the close of the COM
ing season.
She Is a fast mare and reaBon-
ably game one, yet in the past she
has for some unknown reason
trained off, and for two years has
not at any time been in her best
form. At this time she is big and
strong, and looks better than she
ever did in her life, and it is quite
possible that she will race well dur
