The board acquiesced in the recom- mendation of the Police Committee that the reeolution be indefinitely postponed without any discussion. Chairman Tobin explained that it was feared by the com- mittee that the general law legalizing pool gelling would conflict with the local ordinance now on the municipal statute book prohibiting the selling of pools in this city and county. After McCarthy had explained that he had introduced the resolution at the request of several citi- zens of Sausalito Lhe measure was rele- gated to oblivion without further com- ment.

Jan.-21.—The agita- tion against unlimited horse-racing In the county of San Mateo, which was begun and continued persistently by the best cit- izens of the county, reached a conclusion to-day In the adoption of a restrictive or- dinance by the Board of Supervisors. By authority of t ordinance horse-racing in the county San Mateo must be lim- ited, on and afier February 5, 1901, to a period of thirty-five s in each year. The ordinance states specifically that there is no purpose to harm legitimate sport. Which is conducive to the breeding of good horses community at large. The ordinance does ductive of many evils. The new law of the county adopted to-day prohibits any person, firm, partnership, assoclation or corporation, operating within or without an inclosure, to give, permit or conduct horse races for a purse, stake, prize, re- ward or premium for a perfod longer than thirty-five day The law also prohibits any person, firm, partnership, assoclation or corporation from aliowing any one else to do what it cannot do under the law. The penalties for violation of the ordinance are a con- viction of misdemeanor, a fine of not mere | than $500, imprisonment for six months. or | both fine and imprisonment. The ordin- | ance will become operative fifteen days | after its adoption, or on February 5, 1901. | For the purposes of the ordinancé the year shall be considered to begin on the | day when the new law shall take effect. The new law is in full as follows: | ORDINANCE NO. 168. | Relative to horse races, horse race meetings and contests of speed or endurance between | horses for any purse, stake, prize, reward or | premium, apd limiting the time during which | | the same may take pluce.

The meeting of the council held to-day | | was the result of the failure of Denver | to satisfy the council at its December meeting of the city's ability to meet the | | requirements of a one-cent-per-mile rail- | | road rate. Cleveland, Pittsburg and Den- | | ver sent delegations to to-day’'s meeting to plead for the sending of the encamp- ment to thefr cit The Cleveland dele- gation offered the written pledge of the chairman of the Central Passenger Asso- of clation for a rate of one cent per mile to the encampment; promised to raise the money to meet the expenses of nt, offered free quarters in 100 schoolhouses’ for the old soldiers d to arrange the line of march to . and produced written pledges. The representing Pittsburg, too, | pledged a one-cent rate, hotel accommo- \su ns, subscriptions and met the other | requirements of the encampment. Den- ver's applicants for encampment honors producea letters from Chairman McLeod of the Western Passenger Association, promising the one-cent rate on six rail- roads. In addition, they made the neces. sary promises as to accommodations and entertainment. The written pledge of Chairman Mcieod, they claimed, met all the requirements of the resolutions re garding rates adopted in Chicago at the thirty-fourth annual encampment. Half an hour’s discussion resulted in the selec- | tion of Cleveland, the vote being five for Cleveland, two for Denver and one for Pittsburg. The Denver committee at once | held a secret meeting. That they were disappointed and angry over the outcome of their efforts to se- cure the encampment for Denver was | plainly expressed. At the end of a half | hour’s deliberation the following state- | ment was prepared: | “The national encampment of the G. | A. R. at Chicago last year voted unani- mously to hold the encampment in Den- | ver this year provided the rallroads lead- | | ing thereto grantéd a rate of one cent a mile. The Denver committee filed to- day with the commander-in-chief and the executive committee the notice by Chair- | man McLeod of the Western Passenger nssoclation, promulgating the one-cent- per-mile rate on the shortest mileage of | all the principal railroads leading to Den- ver from St. Louls, Chicago, St. Paul and all Missouri River points. This rate has been promuigated for the Denver G. A R. encampment by railroads and connect- ing lines covering more than 50,000 miles | of lines leading to Denver. | " “The procuring of the one-cent-a-mile rate for Denver has been accomplished | much earlfer than ever before, and in territory where the rate has never before | been made. The Denver committee feels it has fully complied with the regula- tions of the national encampment at Chi cago and is entitled to the meeting this | vear, and it is well advised that the sentiment of the Grand Army throughout | the country Is favorable to Denver. | “The different State departments will probably take up this matter and decide | whether they will still adhere to their | unanimous action at Chicago In favor of | Denver for the encampment sop(embfl" next.” “The truth of the matter is the action | of the council of administration is both | without precedent and entirely unten- | able,” sald George C.

Before reading it he called the committee together, ex- plained that the statement was in exist- ence, and then read it. The contents of the document produced some little feeling of momentary charac- ter, which resulted in the council consid- ering the question behind closed doors. Ten minutes later the following was given out by Comm r Rassieur, speaking for and with the sanction of the couneil: “I have just read what you inform me emanates from the comrades representing Denver. It is hard to believe that such a Statement emanates from a good Grand Army comrade. Assuming that It does, I desire simply to state that the exac: ve committee. with the light before it and after having given Denver two hearings and weighing everything presented by it, decided that the next encampment of the Grand_Army should be held at Cleveland Ohio, September 9. 191. At that encamp. ment this committee will report the facts which led them to the action taken, and every Grand Army comrade will doubtless heartily approve of that action.
