RAIN AND MUD MAKE THE GOING SLOW Boundless, the Favorite, Mukes a Desperato struggle for the Parse, but the Heavy Track Was Against Tlim— Other Sporting Events, Crsorssaty, O., May 20,—The spring meet- fug of the Latonia Jockey club oponed today with about 8,000 people in attendance. The first race was run under a clear sky and on a, comparatively fast track, but rain fell soon after and Just before the Derby was run a heavy shower came up, leaving the track wot and slippery. The time throughout was very poor. The betting on the Derby was spirited. Boundless was the favorite at 21§ to 1, with Walnut a good second choice at 8 tol. A pretty start was made, with Sabine in the lead and Boundless second. Midway, who had started fifth, steppel to the front at the first quarter and led the troop, with Boundless a length behind, the rest bunched. This was the order until the back stretch had been passea. Then the jockeys began to urge their mounts forward. The line began to lengthen, with three or four in front close together. Turning into the stretch Boundless led, with Midway and Sabine close behind. In a moment Buck McCann was side by side with Boundless, Midway whipping hard. Down toward the wire they came, riding hard. In the fifty yards Buck McCann moved slightly forward and maintained his lead, passing under the wire by a neck.

The Omahas are awaiting challenges from outsile states. The Kearney club insists on playing a professional, making their club a semi-professional one, and by doing so pro- hibit the home team from playing them. At a mecting of the Omahas on Thursday night it was decided unammously to draw the color line in lacrosse and to refuse to play Kearney as long as they played pro- fessional or colored men in their team.

MET 1IN SPECIAL SESSION Board of Education Transacts Much Business of a Routine Nature, WANTS TO BE RELIEVED OF HIS CONTRACT Contractor Cummings Says He Can't Go on with His Grading Job-Phono- graphs for the Fair—Defective Plumbing at Saratoga. The Board of Education met in special session last night for the transaction of reg- ular business. There were no especial fea- tures to the meeting. The secretary ana president were author- ized to draw a warrant in favor of the Ne- braska Phonograph company for $170 for one phonograph and also to contract with the company for the lease of two other phono- graphs at the rate of &0 for the use of the machines during the continuance of tho World's fair. These machines will be used in exhibiting the public school music. Committee on buildings and property re- ported in favor of having repairs costing &350 made upon tho Cass school. Some discussion arose over how this work should be done. The rules provide that the board shall ad- vertise for bids upon all matters where the expenditure exceeds $200. Some of the mem- bers thought that as the work was needea immediately and was made up of small items, the most “rncuu\l way to proceed would be to allow the superintendent of buildings to have the work done as he found most ex- pedient and economical. Babeock held that Mr. Smyth and C. E. the board could not_instruct the superinten- dent to proceed with the work without ad- vertising, as this would be a violation of the law governing the board. It was Hnally decided to advertise for bids on part of the work, and instruct the super- intendent of buildings to have the rest done without sccuring bids. The committee on property recommended the thase of a thirty-foot strip of ground adjoining the Bancroft school on the north. ‘I'he committee was of the opinion that the ground could be secured for §00. After dis- cussion the board decided to lay the matter on the table, ‘Wants Relleved of His Contract. Mr. P. J. Cumings, to whom the contract for grading the Center school site was let, informed the board that he would be obliged to give up the job as he had no place in which to dispose of the earth and could not afford to proceed with the work at the price he had submitted in his bid, 11 cents per cubic yard. He explained thav the delay on the part of the board in getting the old building out of the way had upset his ar- rangements for disposing of the dirt, and he did not think the board ought to hold him to the contract. The communication was placed on file. A communication was received from the Sioux City Board of Education inviting the Omaha board to attend the opening of the new High school building at Sioux City on Tuesday evening, May 28. The secretary vas instructed to express the thanks of the rdfor the courteous invitation. It is probable, however, that the mem- of the Omana board will attend the dedicatton. Plumbing Inspector Duncan informed the board through a written communication that the plumbing and sewerage now being placed in the new Saratoga school, on Ames avenue, was defective in that there was not sufficient fall between the building and the sewer in the street. He quoted from the ordinance to prove that he had tho power to demand that all sewer pipe shall be laid with not less than one-fourth of an inch fall to the foot. The architect having explained the situation at the Saratoga building at a previous meeting the communi- cation was placed oa file. A vigorous chirographical kick from Thomas J. Lund regarding delays upon the Central school building was also consigned to the file without action. Minor Mattes The board allowea the final gstimate in favor of Richard Smith on the brick work of the new Saratoga and West Omaha school buildings, amounting to 34,034.60. The board authorized the president and secretary to enter into a contract for the work of leveling up the grounds of the Leavenworth school and making the prop- erty more sightly. On recommendation of the property com- mittee it was decided to maintain one alleged 2,000-candle power arc light upon the High school school grounds, with the under- standing that the city council would also maintain an arc light of the same power. These lights will cost $75 during the ensuing 8ix months, Mr. Pearson of the committee on bound- aries notified the board that he would call the board together on May 29 to make ar- rangements for taking the school census, Some of the members objected to the idea of calling a special meeting of the committee to attend to this business. They wanted the secretary authorized to proceed with the enumeration of the school children. The matter was referred to the committee on boundaries. On motion of Mr. Elgutter, the secretary was instructed to inquire as to whether or not the city treasurer had complied with the law in placing the moneys belonging to the school board out at interest, and if the inter- est earncd haa been turned into the treasury, as required by law. s BENATOR MANDERSON TALKS. Postofice Construction—Nebraska's Build- Ing at the Fair, “Work on the new military garrison of Fort Crook is progressing as well as could be expected,” said Senator Manderson yester- day to a BEE reporter. “The remainder of the 500,000 alreaay appropriated will be expended this vear and that will complete quarters for four companies. In due time the post will be maue a regular twelyo-com- gany garrison, | tope, aud will rank wivh the est military posts in the country.” Touching upon the delay in tMe construc- tion of the federal postofice building, the senator said: T think the present delay will be of short duration. 1 have insisted all along that in the construction of the Omaha building nothing but granite should be considered in the stone contract. We want granite, and to me it is absurd to think of putting limestoue or sandstone into a building of that character,” The senator stopped o few days at the World's fair on his way home. *“The Ne- braska building is very creditable one,” said the senator. ““I'his talk about it being a miserable and ungainly piece of architecture and very much inferior to other state buildmgs on the grounds is all a mis- take. THEé building looks very well and no Nebraskan need feeliashamed of it. We have made one mistake a state, however, at the fair in not placing on exhibition more of the things manufactured in Nebraska, There ave some younger states to the west and north of us that will make a very creditable showing of minerals, and in those particular lines we could not hope to com. pete with them, but we might have made a very creditable showing for a young com- monwealth in the line of manufactured products, There is & matter in e nection with the World's fair that 1 th Omaha ought to look out for. When the fair is over there will be & scatiering of people from Chicago. Thousands of men in every line of business will be obliged to leave Chi- cugo because there will not be employment or business enough there to support them. Now the point I wish to emphasize 18 this— Omaha should be in shape to get her share of the overflow. There ought to he some Ju- dicious advertising done that would attract some of these peopie to Omaha. Other cities have already began to advertise with this very idea in view. Why should we not take advantage of the same opportunityt There is something for the Commercial club to thiuk about.” Movements of Ocean Steamers May 20, scilly — Passed — LaGascogne, from ric; Nordland, from New York.

All re- ports are favorable. Flax seeding has been delayed by wet weather, but the prospects are that the acreage will be about the same as last year. Barley has increased about 10 per cent and corn 20 per cent, while oats ex- ceed last year's acreage by fully 15 per cent, Wheat has fallen off in the southern part of the state, but has largely increased in the north, and the land devoted to this cereal will be about the same this year as last. Hartford reports one-third more wheat this yoar than last, in wheat and a_corresponding increase in corn and oats. Brule county shows an in- creased acreage of about 83 per cent, which indicates the size of the immigration which has been flowing in there this spring. In general, the report is that the season is twenty days late, but that the soil is in bet- ter condition than for years. - Commisson House Scorched. The commission house of G.

It agreed to the rates reported by the commit- tee, saying that such was its reason for so doing. ‘When the report was submitted to the eneral meeting, a long discussion followed 'he Rock Island insisted that the settlement of the trouble between the Denver & Rio Grande and Colorado Midland and the con- sequent restriction of rates in Colorado, in- volved the restoration of ull rates east of the river as well as west. To this the Atchison demurred, doclaring that in the settlement between Presidents Jeffrey and Reinhart nothing whatever was said about the restoration of rates east of the river, General Manager St. John of the Rock Tsl- and thenread a telegram from President Jeffrey of the Denver & Rio Grande, which he claimed upheld his assertion, and Passen- ger Trafic Manager White declared tho tele- gram was indefinite and he further insisted that the Atchison had no dealings whatever with the Denver & Rio Grande—a strict], Colorado road—relative to rates in a terr tory where the Denver & Rio Grande had nothing to say about the rates of any sort. The discuszion were finally ended by a vote in which the recommendation of the com- mitte was lost by 11 nays to 15 ayes, it requiring a unanimous vote to carry the proposition. The votes against the recommendation was almost entirely those of the Burlington, Rock Island and the con- necting lines. Those roads in favor of the resolution were tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Northwestern, Union Pacific, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha and all tho larger roads,with the exception of the Alton and Illinois Central, which did not vote, al- though they were represented. The World's fair rates now in effect on the ison will remain_for some days, at t, and may remain permanently. No action will be taken until instructions are received from President Reinhart in Boston. The Atchison, however, will, according to the local ofticials, act in a conservative man- ner and will begin no slaughter of rates un- less compelled by its competitors. ‘Withdrew from the Association. MiNNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 20.—Charles M. Pratt, general passenger and ticket agent of the Minneapolis . Louis railroad, today gave formal notice in the meoting of the Western Passenger assocla- tion in Chicago of the withdrawalof nis road from the association, to take immediate effect. The cause of this action is the desire of the Albert Lea route to give to the peoplo of the northwest the same proportionate reduction in rates to the World's fair as is contemplated to 'be made from Missouri river, Kansas and Colorado points. This is the first line to offer the public the benefit of the decidedly lower rates from the north- west. It will, in all probability, force the other roads to recede from the position vhat has boen taken against any reduction of fare. Colorndo Rates. Dexven, Colo., May 20.—This afternoon a joint tolegram was received by General Agent G. W. Valley of the Burlington and Geueral Agent Firth of the Rock Island, signed by Managers Francis and Sebastian, ordering the restoration of the $i5-round- trip to Chicago and 837 to St. Louis. In accordance with this the above roads offered tickets at that price, but sold none, because the Union Pacific and Santa Fe still cling to the old round-trip rate of 0 to Chicago and £25 to St. Louis. The Santa Fe and Union Pacific roads have issued no instructions to restore the rates und_are awaiting advices from tho Chicago conference, R d Not NeEw York, May 20.—At the request of several large bondholders of the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City railway, Kidder & Co.,, and R.
