 Hourly wages generally were well maintained in face of the indus trial decline. However, payrolls and weekly earnings were reduced by renewed layoffs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7-Around the feats of two great horses is woven the 1887 chapter in American turf history.
 Know the story of unbeaten War Admiral and the rise from rags to riches of Seabiscuit and you have the highiights of a year that saw bigger crowds, increased wagering richer purses, the end of racing in Texas, a political argument that closed Narragansett park in the fall and the passing of he famous Whitney Eton blue silks.
 The fact that the Admiral and Seabiscuit, son and grandson, re- spectively, of Man O War, never met, only served to make the plot more interesting and to furnish material for the Hot Stove League. Seabiscuit, carrying the silks of Mrs c. S. Howard of San Francisco, beat out the Admiral from Samuel Rid dle's Philadelphia stable, for money winning honors, but the latter was judged the horse of the year in a nationwide poll of sports writers
 The story of War Admiral is one of a parade through all the import ant 3-year-old events in which he competed Starting with an allow ance race at Havre De Grace in the spring, the Riddle ace accounted for the Chesapeake stakes, Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont stakes before an injury received in the latter forced him to the side lines.
 Returning to competition in the fall, he again started off with a triumph in an allowance race. He then came through in the Wash iigton Handicap, a stake from which Seabiscuit was scratched be- cause of track conditions. and the Pimlico special The eight vic- tories, all achieved with Louisville s Flying Dutchman,' Charlie Kurt singer, in the saddle, gave him earn ingS Of $166,500 for the year.
 Seabiscuit's contribution to the story is little more fantastic. He was so lightly regarded by James FitZsimmCns, trainer of such great champions as Gallant Fox, Omaha and Granville, that the Wheatley stable sold the son of Hard Tack to Mrs. Howard for $7 800 late in the 1896 season.
 Runs Dead Heat
 Almost overnight the manners of Seabiscuit changed, From a rogue he became a mild-mannered horse. With the change came victories. He dropped nose decision to Will liam Du Pont, Jr.s Rosemont in the S100,0o0 Santa Anita Handicap, and then started a string of eight straight triumphs broken when he finished third behind Calumet Dick and Caballero 2nd in the S25,000 Narragansett special.
 His only other defeat in IA starts came when he bowed by nose to William Ziegler's Esposa in the Bowie Handicap late in the season. Among his II triumphs was a dead heat with T. P Morgan's Heelfly in the Laurel Stakes. The enviable record sent the Howard 4-year old into the winter season with earn ings of $168,642

NEW YORK, Jan 7.-The back to-work march in private industry through most of 1887 cut deeply into unemployment before the busi- ness downturn interrupted multi plication of jobs in the autumn.
 Rapid curtailment of production in steel, textile and other major in- dustries in the final months of the year threw uncounted thousands out of work again. Steel payrolls, particularly, were slashed as out put late in the year fell to about one- third the peak spring rate.
 How severely jobs and payrolls suffered in the last four months could not be judged accurately in the absence of comprehensive fig ures. But prospect of serious un- employment the rest of the winter hit hopes for continued shrinkage in government relief rolls.
 Millions S.ilI Jobsess
 Even at the employment recov- cry peak last September, the Ma tional Industrial Conference Board, privately-financed research organi- zation, estimated more than 6,000,- GOO were out of work Tn other quarters estimates ran higher. At low employment ebb in March, 1883, the board figured nearly 15.0O0,00 were idle.
 In the first half of the year, there was plenty of evidence of a quickened march of men and wom- en back to private payrolls. Some industries notably steel, reported previous records for employment were broken in the spring, although widespread strikes dented payrolls of individual companies.
 Projecting it's estimates fro m monthly data on a cross-section Of industry the conference board cal culated approximately 100000 per oSiio WtiC ldhC4l liiJO Ollt AldblOiA D labor force in the 12 months ended in october. Allowing for a growing working population, the reduction in unemployment was put at l. 100000
 Wages Go Up
 Steel, mining, machinery farm implement and similar durable goods industries drew thousands back to work. The shortened work week was given some credit for the increase in jobs. Another major source of jobs until the business reversal came was revival in build- ing and allied industries, rated the biggest remaining field of unem- ployment. But this promised land
