| i OPENING AT MORRIS PARK Large Orcwd, Lively Racing and Plenty of Betting Mark the First Day. SNAPPER GARRISON'S GREAT WORK s Superior Riding Lands the Rich Matro Stakes for Brewer Enret's Sic Franola— Four Morses Mend Apart at the Finish, Monnis Park Race Track, N, ¥, Oot. 1.— This was a great dav for Jookey Snapper Garrison and Brower Ehret, the former be- ing the winning jockey, the latter owniug the winning horse of the rich Matron stake, which was decided hero this afternoon be- fore. 15,000 men and womon lovers of the race horse, The weather was simply perfection. A strong wind was blowing down the straight- away and made the lightning fast track record breaking ono. It was expected that the Matron stakes would be ihe feature of the program, but mich of its importance was lost signt of when Dr. Hasbrouck, with 122 pounds and 1 to 2 in tho beuting, chopped two full seconds off the five furlong record. No one thonght the son of Sir Modred and Sweot Briar was fast enough to lower ke 59 seconds omginally made by Fides over the same track and auplicatad by him- self and several others afterwaras, acd when 57scconds was hung out by the ofi- clal timers after ho hud galloned in abeaa of his oppononts, the spectators were amazed. 1t is soldom that two seconds ure clipped oft @ record and the spectators wero inciined to be skeptical. The time was absolutely cor- rect. Astrong wind blow down the track, which was never in better condition for the making of fast time and when Vewen (6 to 5) beat off his opponents in the second race of six fur- longs and lowered the rvecord for that dis Jance frowm )i 10 1:09%, half a second, the doubting Thomases were convinced that (t was really a record breaking track. napy Then came the Kordham hanaicap and plunge ou Montana, this year's Suburban winner, who had Garrison in the saddle. Equity was nextin favor, with Sleipner (4 to1), Reckon (7tol) and others at still Jonger odds. Iteckon jumped from Afth vlace into the lead at flagfall and never zave 08 the s tode, her backers an instant’s uveasinoss. She led by from threo to five lengths from start o finish, winning in & big gallop, while whips were flying in the air bohind her. Spoculation on the seventeen starters in the Matron stakes was spirited but rather one-sided, Miss Maud and Sir Francis being respeotive first und second choices at 2 and 214 to 1. Tho others were asked to be backed at from 8 to 1 10100t 1. Thoe Rebecca Rowett colt headed the bunch half way down the hill and looked to be a sure winner a six- teenth from tho finish. Suddesly the only Garrison came out of the buuch with a rush, followed closely by Littletield on Miss Maude. Jockey Billy Douohue, who owns, trains and rides the Rebecca Rowett colt, made a final effort for the §2,000 Matron. His colt, however, wus doomed to de- feat. Donohue, becauso of his lack of riding ability, was no match for either Garrison or Littlefleld, the Snapper ariving Sir Francis in & winner by-a head from Miss Maude, who was a bead in front of the unnamed colt, Eagle Bird belng at tho latter's snoulder. The stake was worth $42,000, of which $2,500 gues to the second horse and $1,500 to the third. The race was a scorcher from the start, the 2-year-old running it in 1:10, which is only a quarter of a second bebind the record made by Yomen. Garrison was greoted with salvos of applause. He could have won with either Miss Maude or tho Robecca Rowett colt. 1t was a case of a clover jockey against less competent riders. His fee for winning with Sir Francis is said to be $5,000. Other Eventsof the Day. Adelbert (7 t010) won the fifth race after 8 hard tussel with Stalactite, Owner, trainer and jockey McCaflerty brought a memorablo day’s racing to a close by backing Hugh Penny from 10to 1to 8to I and giv- ing the bookmakers a bad scorching when the colt won in & gallop, Hugh Penny was bid up $1,000 over his selling price and bought in by McCafferty.

Tuoe prisoner requested permission to seek bonds- men ana Deputy Jailor Ernest accompanied him to Twonty-third and KFaroam streets, where he asserted his employer resided. When the door was opened in response to the oficer’s kuock the prisoner sprang through the ball, shut the rear door und was off like a flash through back yards and over fences. Ho was locuted by his former guard among the high weeds in the rear of the power house, & block from the county jall. He surrendered when 8 big revolver was shoved iu his face. Wade explained that he had sought a iding placo near the jall, thivkiog that the ofticers would not be éxpecting such a move. AS @ punishment the prisoner was fasteued up by tho wrists so that he could not lie down during the night. He kept the neigh- borhcod awake for several hours by his bowls, but he was not released until morn- ing t at “Queon Esther” by Loeal Talont. The Morning Star Mission band, connected with the Seward Street Methoaist Episcopal church, will prosent the cantata, “Queen Esther," attha Young Men's Ctiristian usso- ciation coucert hail on Tuesday aud Wednes- diy evenings of this week, Over sixty poo- ple will take part in the prescutation, the as- sistance of several of the best kuown vocal- ists of the city naving beeu secured, iie- nearsals for tho cantata have been In pro- gress for some Lime, and & most pleasiug en- tertainment is assured, Tickets for both enlertuinments bave beeu placed on salo at the Youug Men's Christian association roows. DISAPPOINTED ~ THE LOBBY Oity Hall Investigators Did Not Make Their Report to the Council Last Night. MAYOR BEMIS MAKES MANY VETOES dewalk It Tutions Knocked Gallywest and a Ketcham Furniture Contract Re- ceives a Body B Was an Interesting Moeting, However, wlt The attendance at the meoting of the city council held last night was unusually larie, most of the spentators expecting that a re- port, or at least a partial report, of the city hall investigating committes wonld be one of the features. But in this Chairman Lowry fcoled the lobby. Not a word did he say until the hour or adjournment rolled around, when he announced that on Tuesday night a report would be presented. Then everybody breathed casier and the mombers of tho lobby wishied that thoy had not held down their seats until the hour of midnight. The mayor was on hand with a number of vetoes, aud, as a rule, the council was with him, On the Wakefield Contract. Upon the subject of the John A. Wako- fleld lumbor bill, ho sent this message 1 have the v to raport that T have not aporoved of m in the general appropei- tion ordinan 1 fuvor of J. AL Waketield for 1,000 feot of sidewaik fumber ut $16 per thousand, amountin: to $17, for the reason that 1100 feet of sidewalk [umber at the con tract price of 816 per thousand w8 not fur- nished to the city by Mr. Walefield as repro- sented in the bills furnished to the city, - As wmatter of fact feet of lumber. 10 feet ut t ut @& up of humber of rding toc Whitl purports to bo beinc in two ftoms, one’ of a thousand. and one of 6,00 i thousaud, are made arze number of items of various lengths, _costing. tract price. from $l4to § per thousand, and also inciuding an item ¢ Labor in_prepating a portion of said limbe Tt may be, asstated {nn report of the coti- mittee on sidewalks and bridees, that ti to mount due Mr. Wakefield' from the city for lumber, muter and - labor so furnishea would wgeresnte 376 or a Tittlo more. This. liowever. is not the point at Wiat I contend 15 that a corr L showing the true nature of the items ind mount th of should be furnished to tho Auy othor course would lend dircetly s being perpetrated on the clt What snd for I8 & matter of prineipie, thi tbills shouid be furnishuc Lo the city i ccordance with facts und that such Huld be nudited ny the motroller in manner hefore they are paid. There i< no more reason why the city shoula piy out #1576 cn two items of lumber amounts ng to 11,000 feet at §1 or thousaud to cover itcms of Tamber at $14, $16 and $17 a thousand, i for iabor, than for w merchunt to pay a DI for ton lezs of nalls, when is 4 matter of fact tho correct items should be throe barrels of flour, To pay Mr Waketield's bill presented by hy nd ns audited by the mptrolle: and recom- mended LY the committee on sidewalis and Dridges, would not prevent him hozeafter, it dlsposed to Ao 8o, from presenting other biils for Tumber furnished at $14 per 1,000 and at #17 per 1,000 and for tnbor. In such a cuse the city might, or night not, be able to show that the items last referred to we covered by the two It s of 11,000 feet of lumber at #i6 per 1,000 The £ice of the bill also should show ie. It should show it according to correct busin princivles. With rozard to this no business man would take lssue. The veto was sustained by a unanimous vote. Votoed an Even Dozen. There were votoes on an even dozen side- walk resolutions. The points on which the votoes were based were all of & sumlar na- ture, and the factsstated in this one show what the mayor found in each of the reso- lutions: T herewith return without my approval res- olution No. 85. of September 13, ordering n wooden sldewalk on Thirty-seventh “ave- nue.” in Creston addition and Creston nnnex, for the roason, us stuted in wy veto of a sim> ilar_resolution last week, that there isno Thirty-seventh “avenue’ in the addition re- terred to. It seems very strange that the members of the council should accept the off-hand opin- ions of members und others us ugalnst the stutomonts made in o veto message, which are ivariably based on a full and careful in- vestigation.” Such #ction only results in bur- dening the officinl records of the city with illezal resoiutions and can never rosult in se- curing the walks intended to be ordered by the resojution. If the memboes or others who propare these resolutions would oxerc.se even the slichrost caro in the preparation of these resolutions all delay und {llozal action mizht be avoided. Searcely o week passes without sevoral sidewalk™ resolutions being passed by the councll which give evidence o thelr face of Rrossost carclessness, and the tact that these same resolutions are reported back to the council by a committee, with the statement that “they have rofully examined the and recommend that tho sume do pas fndeed @ poor commentary on the manner in which commitiee work is done, Lust week was no exception to the rule, und five such resolutions ure returned because of descriptions or other blund: there oun be 1o reasonable excuse. Aliof those vetoes were sustained by a unanimous vote. Hitthe Ke m Furniture Company. Right bere the Ketcham Furniture com- pany got a blow below the bolt, Some days ago, or about September 20, a rosolution was adopted ordering another lot of furuiture. Last night the mayor handed the resoiution 10 the council, and with it ho sent this veto message: GENTLENEN: T herowith return without my approval a resolution instructing the coni- mittee on public property ana bulidings to have placed in the Board of Health rooms and the rooms of the tire and police comm sioners certain furniture, according w the plans attnehed to such resolution ws per terms und conditions of original contract, for the reason thut. as I am ed by the clty torney, the city 1s n Inul contraet, W pur Furniture company any furniture hereaftor required and not covered by the amount to be puld, s specified by sald contract.

Hisselections displayed the infinite variety of his powers. Few men, indeed, can afford to put themselves in judg- ment on their interpretation of such various work as the scene between David and Go- liath, as recorded in the King Jumes bible, the courtship scene in tho fifth act of “Henry V,” Longfellow’s “King Robert of Sicily,” ard the’Dora chapters of “Davia Copy field.”” Yot this is what oir.
