ICHARD was not himself at Tan- foran yesterday aftternoon, for out of six races Dick Dwyer made three poor starts, sqme- thing exceptional and not with- in the field of exculpatory symparhy, Twice he left the great, the only, the pre- mier jockey of America, J. Todhurter Sloan, at the post. Sloan said it was the fault of Mr. Dwyer. Mr. Dwyer said it was all due to Mr. Sloan's dilatory post tactics. At any rate J. T. Sloan made a mournful churning of the waves and saw flelds of poor ones sauntering homeward to a warm fireside while he was out in the snow, shaking with the winter chill of a fog-ridden valle ) When Sloan was left at the post he was on top of Selde, second choice, and Amelia Fonso, something long in the betting. But that was not all. Twjce he knotted him- self with Winnie O'Connor, ‘and both times this wizard of Tanforan turned his head like the title of a forgotten novel and gave the unctuous to America's fore- most_saddle performer by reputation. The fog that floated in on Tanforan yesterday shrouded both Sloan and Dwyer, but the latter's defection was exceptional. Sloan's bas become a habit. Winnie O'Connor, mounted on the favor- ite, had the extreme pleasure of seeing Tommy Burns' back at the finish of the first race. MacLaren, a 2 to 1 favorite, was talked of 2s easy money, but Gold Baron. Tommy Burns up, made MacLaren look like 16 t0 1 money Santa Lucla ran down the backsiretch as if a load of hay were in front, but when the time to get anxfous came Gold Baron and MacLaren passed Lucia. A sufficient number of hot tips floated about the ring before the second race to carry the Great Eastern around the world three several times. When the three and one-half furiongs of footing was finished Escalente, 25 0 1, put the money in the vest pocket and said mean things to Dan Collins, another wildly whispered name, and Snooze, ike favorite, that made the show. Of the eleven entries elght were touted to win. Then came O’Connur on Toah, who beat Ada N out in the stretch. Toah was fa- vorite, Selde, Sloan up, second choice. There' was nothing to this. six furlong canter but Toah. Sloan reveled in the aftermath of a bad start. In the fourth race for four-year-olds Tommy Burns on Redwald beat Doublet and Our Lizzie for first monéy. Lizzie was heralded as the real thing. but she disproved the good things said of her. Parmenion, the favorite, piloted by O'Con- nor, was a bad fourth, never tasting the money ‘The mile race for taree-year-olds and up went to Nansen, afier a clever bit of riding. by O'Connor.

DISCUSS AFFAIRS OF POLICE DEPARTMENT Mayor Phelan, Chief Sullivan and Commissioner Newhall Talk Over Proposed Changes. Mayor Phelan, Chief Sullivan and Peo- lice Commissioner Newhall held an in- formal meeting vesterday and discussed the various questions agitating the offi- cfals of the Police Devartment. The ques tion of the vaccination of the police offi- cers caused quite a thy debate and while no definite action was taken it w: practically agreed that it was hardly nec essary except in the cases of the officers on duty where smallpox prevailed. It was determined to leave the matter in the hands of the police surgeon. The question of benefits to be derived from the installation of the eight-hour watch for patrolmen was given much at- tention. As the tour of duty is at present almost the entire force is on every night, but with the proposed change carried out only one-third of the Jfficers at present on the force will be available for night duty. While the change meets with the approvai of the Mayor, the Chief and the Commis- sioners, no decided action was taken. ———————— JOHN RY'S WILL.—The will of the late John D.

The Grand Jury met last night and re- | sumed the Investigation into the alleged mismanagement of the Police Department in connection with Chinatown affairs. The testimony given by the witnesses ex- amined tended to show that the Chinese gamblers have been operating in a bold manner for several months past and that they have been relying upon police pro- tection. Jerome Millard, a Chinese interpreter, was the first witness called. He testified in substance the same as he did before the legislative committee. He testified that he heard Chinese gamblers say that they could run their games openly, as it was understood that they would be raided ricdically by the police.
