"With the object of raising light har ness racing to the high standing pre vailing in the United States, the Lon don Trotting club has been organized. Although tho number of trotting meetings In the United Kingdom has never been largo, some of them have given the sport an unsavory reputation by lndulgiug In practices which have been practically barred from American tracks. Even tho professional racing for stakes does not furnish race records comparable with matinee racing in America, and the projectors of the new club are ns anxious to raise this stand ard as they are to make Uie racing clean. Tho club has adopted many of U10 latest rules in light harness racing and will insist on their observance. The Bystem of penalties and suspensions which prevailed under tho old TrotUng union of Great Britain will bo revived and enforced. The style of starting has boon re modeled and nil horses will be re quired to be sent off from behind tapes. The track will bo closed to horses that are late In answering the starter's bell, thereby obviating tho delays which have mado tho sport unpopular with spectators. A new body of stewards has been appointed and it will operate under a fresh set of racing rules. BILLY KRAMER OUT FOR GOOD Olympic Cross Country Star Has In jured Tendon. Hike Murphy said that Billy Kra mer, tho cross country runner, would never run again, owing to lujury of the tendon of Achilles. According to Murphy, Krumer received his In Jury by running on tho deck, of tho Finland without tho proper massage after his exorcise. Tho training facili ties were such that some of tho ath letes had to go without the necessary amount of attention, and Kramer was one of those who unfortunately had to suffer as a result of this lack of ac commodations. Murphy cites tho fact Uiat all Uie races In which Kramer tried to enter at the Olympic games proved that ho could not do himself Justice, for after running part of the distance his ten dons stiffened up on him to such an extent that ho could hardly move a muscle after he had used his leg for a little time. Examination has re vealed tho fact Uiat there Is a con traction of the ligament that even surgery cannot remedy. Sheridan to Retire. Martin J. Sheridan of tho Irish American Athlotlc club, U10 champion discus thrower, baa decided to reUre. Sheridan has been In tho uthleUc gamo for more than a decado and during that time be has won numerous cham pionships with tho 'weights, Including metropolitan, national and 'world's UUos. Sheridan won tho discus throw ing contests at both. Athens and Leo don Olympiads. j How the Run on the Bank Was Stopped By EVELYN TISDALE When I was married 1 had ..0,000 in hard cash and had been assistant cash ier In n bank. 1 concluded to go west to some promising town and open u bank. There was one bank where I Bel lied. Barton's, that previous to my en tering the Held had done all the busi ness there was to do. Barton was very much disgruntled at having to give up any of It U me and did all he could covertly to Injure mo niid. my credit lie was not liked, being considered a sklnlllnt. and 1 gradually cut into his business. This gain on my part was partly due to my wife, who made her self very popular with her acquaint ances and brought mo many valuable accounts. Tho town was growing, and thcro was business for two banks. If I had not occupied the field some one else ,vnM lmvo dnnn Bo. Hnt Barton wanted It nil nnd acted accordingly. All went well enough till the panic of 1S03 came on, when we were all In for hard Umcs. Barton was known to havo much more capital than I, but most of those having deposits with mo felt friendly to mo or to my wife or to both of us. and I was able to keep a pretty steady rein on them. A few drew their accounts and placed them with Barton. This would havo been all tho detriment to mo that would have oc curred during tho panic had not Bar ton, through others In his Interest, cir culated reports that I would not pull through. One morning when I went to busi ness I found a crowd walUng for the opening of my doors and knew that the blow had fallen. I was in for a run. Calling tho employees together, I gave them Instructions in pracUclng tho usual delays resorted to by bank ers while standing n run. Then at the opening hour tho paying teller's win dow was thrown up there was no like lihood of tho receiving tellers having anything to do and tho strugglo com menced. I had got In some gold the night be fore by express after banking hours and had kept It at home. I thought It might be advisable to leave it there for awhile, for in case my bank should go by the board I would need something to put me on my feet again. When I went home at noon to dinner I told Lizzie that in case I should send for the money to bring It to me herself, carrying it In such a way that the walUng crowd of depositors would pre sume that she was bringing me gold. Two days ufter this, when most of our ready cash had been paid out and It appeared that we would have to go under. I looked over a list of depositors still unpaid and decided to put In my reserve, hoping with it to weather the storm. So I sent a messenger to Mary to bring It to me. In duo time, looking out tho window of my private office, I saw her alight from a cab with the messenger, who camo in and said he wished a man to assist in removing treasure. The two went back to the carriage and brought in a sack Uiat it required both of them to carry. I was astounded, for tho amount I had at home could easily have been carried by Lizzie. Tho crowd, seeing the load going into tho bank, set up a cheer, and some of them left tho lino and went away. The sack was brought Into my office. I opened it and found my gold on top of several hundred pounds of nut coal. I threw my arms about Lizzie's neck, praising her Inventive genius, then or dered tho gold not the coal dumped In a heap on tho paying teller's desk. Those nearest tho window set up an oUier shout, and U10 paying tellor, by my order, began paying out the gold with considerable alacrity. More of those In line went away without wait ing to bo paid, and I was pleased to see they were those to whom I owed the largest balances. Before the clos ing hour the line had dwindled to a few persons having merely household accounts. The backbono of tho run had been broken. But Barton In undermining mo had destroyed confidence even in himself, and, while I was feeling tho tall end of a run, ho was In tho hottest part of ono. Lizzie, who had gone home, re turned, passing Barton, and, seeing tho crowd, conceived tho Idea of extend ing to him tho succor sho had given me. ConUnulng on to tho bank, sho confided her plans to me, and, placing $1,000 lu gold on top of tho coal, 1 sent two of our messengers with it to Barton. They were recognized by tho crowd In lino as our messengers, nnd tho depositors, presuming they came with a loan, went wild with delight I sent a noto by Uie messengers to Barton suggesting that ho pay out Un gold ns I had done. I was greatly relieved to sco the throng before Barton's gradually dwin dle, and wheu both banks opened the next morning there were no depositors waiting Ixjforo either. 1, or rather Llzzlo, was wiser than Barton, who In destroying confidence in mo had undermined himself. By helping him wo re-established confi dence and gained the name of having pulled him through. At nny rate, from that time forward my bank, be ing supposed to bo the stronger, did tho bulk of the business. I tako no credit whatever in tho mat ter, that nil being duo to my wife. Had It not been for her happy thought and her putting- It Into practice I am quite confident that Barton and 1 would have gone down together.
