RACE TRACK, BRIGHTON BEACH, July 4.—The main topic of conversation here to-day was the action taken by the stewards yesterday after the fourth Face had been run off, and the facts of which only leaked out this morning. , As told in “The Evening World,” there was an exasperating delay at the start of over thirty-five minutes, Now comes the news that every one of the Jockeys who had mounts in that race ‘were fined $2 each, the whole aggregat- ing $225. Among the number fined were Taral, Doggett and Littlefield, Their conduct in trying to get the best of the fleld is claimed to have been responsible for the delay. eee There will be an important meeting to-night at the vooms of the Jockey Club in New York to discuss the ques: fion of reinstating the owners and jockeys who have heen racing and rid- ing on outlaw tracks. ‘There is a dis- position to deal lenfently with them, The fair card offered for to- brought out over three thousand fons to the track: in fact, tiere were ore present than on any day this week. ‘The place apart for the us of bookmakers was particularly well patronized, ‘The track was in good condition, and a gentle breeze from the ocean served to keep everybody in pleasant humor.

Dr, Hagan had devoted himself to the study of insanity asa spectalty, Of late he had been studying very hard to pass the Regents’ examination. He was of @ very nervous disposition, and the asylum authorities think that this, with his hard study, may have unbalanced his mind and caused him to take his own life. It was also stated that his association with the insane pa- tents had a bad effect on his mind The case was reported to the offices by of C. Evans, the medical superintendent of the asylum.

TO BUILDTHE BIG RESERVOIR The Jerome Park Contract Has Bren Awarded to Joba B McDonald. THE VOTE 6 70 1 1N HIS FAVOR McDonald’s Bid Was $5,473,060 and O'Brien’s Only $5,297,370, BUT O'BRIEN WAS IGNORED, Commissioner Cannon Alone Veted tor Him---The Award Protested. The Board of Aqueduct Commissioners this afternoon awarded the contract for constructing the Jerome Park reservoir to John B, McDonald, ignoring the bid of John O'Brien, McDonald's bid was $5,473,000. O'Brien's wan $5,297,370. The vote was taken In executive sew sion, and was not announced, but It was learned from the secretary that the vote was 5 to 1 against O'Brien, the old time Tammany contractor, Commissioner Cannon alone voting in favor of O'Brien, Mayor Strong is at Richfleld Springs and Acting Mayor Jeroloman was not present. All the other Commissioners, Comp- troller Fitch, Commissioner of Publio Works Brookfield and Commissioners Greene, Duane, Tucker and Cannom were present. ‘The chambers of the Commission were crowded by contractors and workmen when the vote was announced. John O'Brien was flanked by his lawyers, ox-Judge Browne and EB. C. Loratt. Both the latter were on thelr feet in protest In an instant. Judge Browne declared that the Boar had no lawful right to Ignore the bid of O'Brien, nearly $200,000 lower than Donali's, which was the next low- est. “Mr. O'Brien has done a great deal of work for the State and the city,” he said, “He has done tt well and faithe fully, It is because his facilities are the Lest that he is able to perform this great work as well and at @ lower price than his competitors. “It Is Idle to say he ts irresponsible. Some of the Commissioners here to-day have passed favorably on many jobs ef |his work. We protest and ask for the right to be heard." Judge Browne referred to Commis sioners Duane and Tucker. Mr. Lovatt seconded this protest and then followed a discussion, the upshot of which was that O'brien'’s counsel was given till Friday at 4 P, M. to file briefs setting forth thelr argument why O'Brien and not McDonald should be given this im- mense contract. No reason has been assigned and we have nothing to answer,” sald Ju@ge Browne. ‘The Commissioners should be fair enough to tell us, and the public are entitled to know, what the reasons are | for this departure from usage; the pass- ing over the lowest bid and giving the contract to a bidder who demands more | of the peopie's money for the work. | “We must make our protest on gen- eral grounds and answer all argu- | ments. ‘There will be very serious legal questions Involved in this discussion, and we should ike to submit our brief on the legal question to the Corpora- tion Counsel.” -Judge Brown asked for more time, Comptroller Fitch said he held the forfeiture deposits of all the bidders, 32,00) each, and aggregating nearly $500,000. He wanted to return that money. It was not right to Ue it up away from its owners. The Commissioners wouldn't give their reasons for giving the come tract to McDonald, and wouldn't exe tend the time further than Friday, “The Commission will agree not to take any further steps towards exe- cuting this contract until the briefs have been submitted,” announced Com- missioner Greene, and then the Board adjourned <- It is believed that O'Brien's counsel will resort to delaying tactics In the way of peremptory injunctions and jother legal technicalities in order to gain time aan eee eae BANKER BERNHEIM DEAD.
