STOCK LOSSES
ABSORBED

NEW YORK. Aug. "a G.N.SD.
The stock market turned into an
irregular affair today after eff
forts to extend the advance in
the forenoon ran into the hurdle
of fresh-profit-taking and slug
giSh action of wheat.
Selling was we'll absorbed, how
ever. and at no time were the
losses extensive, supporting fac
tors were the slight gain in power
production for the week and in
creased car loadings reported by
such railroads as N. Y. Central
and Pennsylvania.
A fresh stimulating influence
was buoyancy in cotton. This
staple overshadowed other COM
modities and securities when it
scared more than 81 a bale to
new 1882 peaks and the highest
prices in more than a year.
Reactionary tendencies reached
their height before noon when
leaders like U. S. Steel. American
Telephone, Westinghouse, and
Union Pacific lost l to 2 points.
Rallying tendencies developed in
the early afternoon and the
losses we're largely regained.

MEXICAN WAR
VET STARTED
RED HORSE
By HARRY COSTELLO

BY HAIRY COSTELLO
Down Virginia way, recently, an
Old Dominion sportsman showed
number of Red Horse game
cocks in a main. No one seemed
to know much about the Red
Horse as a breed, which fact
caused this reporter to look into
the matter.
To Andrew P. O'Connor, author
of Forty Years With Fighting
Cocks" we are indebted for the
true story of the Red Horse breed.
James Eslin, foremost cocker of
the world, whose estate comprised
what is now Rock Greek Park and
the Geological Garden, and who
died in 1886, had two sons, George
and William, chips of the old
block. The two sons served in the
Mexican war. Returning from
that conflict they brought with
them jet black game-cock which
they named General Santa Anna,
after the Mexican commander.
became Famous
One of the sons of this original
game-cock became quite q noted
cock. A match was made for him,
and he was pitted against one
owned by Dick Walker, of Funks-
town, Md, also a veteran of the
Mexican War.
"Chick" Donaldson, one of
James Eslin's feeders, and also a
veteran of the Mexican War,
pitted the son of General Santa
Anna against the Funkstown
star. Walkers game-cock was
known as Tartar.
In a furious exchange the son
of General Santa Anna knocked
Tartar down and showed no
mercy. The fiercenesS of the
son of General Santa Anna at
tracted the attention of those
present and the question was put
to "Chick" Donaldson, What
cock is that?"

the cavalry to which they refer.
red as '"The Red Horse Cavalry"
Upon being asked the question,
Donaldson replied. Hes a Red
Horse from Mexico"
The name Red Horse has stuck
to this day, although it must be
said that many game-cocks known
by that name are not at all Of
that breed.
Incidentally, Mr.. O'Conor re-
veals that the Tartar-Red Horse
fight was for a small stake,
nearer $40 than $780," and that
the match came about at a regu.
lar hack meeting and had at
tracted no more attention than
any other cheap fight fought
that day.
