bility of the com.
pany, or in the
manner in which
itiis operating, be
fore you make any
investment visit
the property any
day and satisfy
yourself. Oil and
gas 'will be found

ties. After the
"strike" it will be
too late to buy
stock. Do it NOW.
StocK for Sale
For Development Pa oses
The per value of the stock is $100
per share, but is now offered at one
half ($50) and it is worth it The
company has already sold limited
amount of stock, equipped the prop
erty with the best working machinery
in the world and it has plans for a
great future. The money secured
from the sale of stock will be to push
the work. Every dolar will be used
to prepare for the best interest of the
company. As the drill goes down the
stock will surely rise. The price it it
now offered at will only be a short
time. A good rule is to let oppor
tunity in when it knocks at the door.

more tangible, brighter or more surer
dvidend paying than this stock, par
ticularly at $50 per share. Don't wait
until it goes to par, but buy now. It
is really a chance that comes seldom.

IEW YORK RACING
Expect Cut in the Schedule of
Sheepshead Bay Purses
NO CUT IN BROOKLYN CLUB
The Brighton Beach Racing Associa
tion Make Every Effort to Keep up
the Racing Sport in Spite of the
New Law.
&EW YORK, June 17. The un
settled condition of racing in New
York lias caused horsemen to con
sidcr of extreme importance the plans
of the race tracks which have meet
ings to follow Gravescnd. It is as
mired that the Brooklyn Jockey Club,
under the direction of P. J. Dwycr
will finish its meeting without re
duction of purses, but a cut in the
schedue of the Shccpshcnd Pay purse
is generally expected though the
Shcepeshcad stakes will be run as
they have been announced. The mat
ter of the value of the purses nt
Sheepshead will be decided at a meet
ing of the governors at Coney Jsland
to-day and the expectation is that the
added money for the over-night races
will be reduced from an average of a
little more than $1,000 each to about
$600 each.
The Brighton Beach Racing As
sociation also came in for much at
tention from horsemen, in view of the
circular letters that the Association
has prepared for the owners of horses
engaged in Makes at Brighton Beach.
The circular is as follows:
"The recent repeal of the Percy
Gray Law has made it doubtful
whether racing can be continued In
NewfYork on the plane that it has
Tpicd for many years. This as-
(ciatton intends to make every pos-

purpose to hold a meeting but in view
of the changed conditions, the club
did not believe it would take the risk
of racing without the co-operation of
horsemen. Mr. Fritzerald said the
Brighton Association would conduct
the best meeting that it possibly
could under the circumstances.
IMMENSE RETAIL STORE
19 New York Blocks Gathered Under
One Ownership.
NEW YORK, June 17-By a series
of transactions extended over several
months and conducted with the ut
most secrecy, a group of conspicuous
real estate holdings in the new up
town shopping district have been
gathered together under a single
ownership, with a view to be used
as a site for a big retail store. The
site comprises 19 lots, including the
whole block of the Front on East
Side of Fifth Avenue, between thirty
seventh and Thirty-eight Street. It
measures 197. 6 feet on the Avenue,
extending back 24 feet on Thirtv-
seventh Street and 225 feet on Thirty
eight Street. The valuation put upon
it is about $7,000,000. The locationi
on the crest of Murry Hill is one of
tne nnest on the Avenue. The site is
mostly occupied by old private houses
all of them vacant with the exception
of two on Fifth Avenue in used as
stores. A space of about five lots on
the Thirty-seventh side is taken up
with an old time garden shaded bv
fine trees and screened frpm the pub
lic by a high brick wall. Adjoining
this $500,000 garden on the east is the I
stable which was originally designed
to hide out of view from the mansion .
on the Fifth Avenue corner. The
rise of Fifth Avenue to first rank as
a shopping .. thoroughfare has taken
place within the last few years
The migration "of high class retail
houses from ' Broadway and Sixth
Avenue has followed as an incident
of the eastward movement oi" the
fashionable residence population. In
1902 for the first time the center of
the fashionable residence district was
shifted to the east of Fifth Avenue.

consent permitting us, should neces
sity arise, to modify 'or withdraw and
schedules of this Association already
closed."
The consent mentioned is an agree-.
ment to accept the decision of the As
sociation in either the cancelling of
stakes to be run or the redaction of
stakes in proportion to the amount
of money added. In addition to the
doubt' thrown on the stakes already
closed, the Brighton Beach Associa
tion announced that four stakes, the
Trump, Sunshine and Undergraduate
for two year old and the Chantilly
Steeplechase, which had been dver-j
tiscd to close on June 15, were aban
doned before the date of closing, the
Brighton Club having notified the
Jockey Club of its intention to give
up those events late last week.
The most important .fixtures of the
Brighton Racing which thus has been
so doubtful that horsemen have given
up any id a that they would run are
