GRATIFYING WAR NEWS
Gave Distinct Upward Movement to
 Stock Market Friday.

New York. Aug. 9.-Gratifying war news and prospects of an early and amicable adjustment of the dispute between the railroads and federal au- thorities gave a distinct upward i'm retus to the stock market today. the hardening process extending to bonds.
 Dealings were very moderate in the aggregate, but encompassed more than the usual variety of issues. Active rails, including standard shares, score extreme gains of one to two points, that range also applying to indust- rials and specialties.
 U. s. Steel pointed the way throughout. It made an extreme ad- vance of 1 3-4 points to Ill 5-S, it's highest price in several weeks. and retained all but a small fraction.
 Baldwin Locomotive was next in fla vor, its steady accumulation at a gross advance of 2 5-S accompanying the familiar. report of prospective dividend action. Sales were 32o,00o shares.
 For the first time this year Liberty A3 1-2's sold at slight premium, touching 1o0.02. Foreign war f1ota- tions also stiffened fractionally on an appreciable increase of trading. To- tai sales, par value, aggregated ST. 45o, 900.

MIKE DoNLlN SOON
 TO GO TO FRANCE
Ex- Giant to be Baseball Instructor to
 Members of A. E. F.

Mike Donlin, for years an idol of Giant fans, is to go to France as a baseball instructor for the soldiers. Old Turkey Mlke," slugger extraordi- nary and one of the most picturesque figures the national pastime ever has produced. is to be appointed to that position by the committee on training camp activities, and expects to go overseas in the near future.
 Donlin. whose efforts have been de- voted to a number of enterprises since his retirement from baseball, is known to fans the country over, and it is certain that there are many boys in khaki lover there" who have cheered the former outfelder on ma jor league diamonds in happier days gone by. Mike is a real hustler, the sort of fellow who puts his heart into the work at hand, be it ball game, a vaudeville sketch or a venture which requires his peculiar genius for or ganizing. The committee is making a wise move in it's selection of Donlin for such services as will be required of him, and it's judgment is certain to be applauded by those most af- fected by 1.-the youthful soldiers of democracy serving their country in a shell torn land.

TRoTTIN,a GOSSIP.
By ". Fl. Gocher.

Like all new tracks the one at To-
 ledo was very fast. This can be attri-
 buted to the vegetable fibre which is still in the soil, making the footing firm and at the same time elastic. It soon disappears from course after it has been springled, narrowed and pushed and nothing grown on it for a year or two. In the spring of 1908 Charter Oak Park which was built in 1874, was cut up and sowed to rye. This grew until the middle of August when it was turned under a disk har- row and the surface worked back into

racing condition. The first meeting over it started on Labor Day when Hamburg Belle won the Charter Oak Purse, trotting the three fastest heats on record up to that date. For har- ness racing the smooth, hard sur face makes the fastest track. While a top cushion may take the jar off the stroke of the horses racing over it, the loose soil makes considerable re- sistance to the wheels of the sulky. It is on that account that a clay track is the fastest. With favorable con- ditions it is possible to prepare a strip of footing as smooth and as hard on the surface as a belt This is the kind of footing that Directum I had when he reduced the Hartford track record to 1:5815. On that day Murphy started him to beat two minutes and did not chase him away at top speed, the fractional time for the first half
 being 1:00A and the first quarter 302z seconds. The following week at Syracuse he was fortunate in getting exactly the same kind of track and paced in 1:56M. It is possible to get almost the same kind of a surface on a loam track after a hard rain before
 the moisture has had an opportunity to evaporate as was shown at Pough-
 keepsie last year when St. Frisco trotted in 2:01s4.
