MONMOUTII PAIIK , July 11. A brilliant
program , coupled with perfect weather in
duced another largo crowd to make the trip
to Monmouth Park today. Kingston's vic
tory on Saturday in moderate sprinting com
pany was good enough to warrant the talent
sending him to the post first favorite this
afternoon. An anchor was cast to windward
by the talent turning its attention to Iddcs-
leigh nnd backing him down to 7 to G. Tor
mentor was very leniently dealt with today
In the matter of weight , being cpractically
'
Ignored In the mess. Ho went 'begging at 15
to 1. The race was his from start to finish ,
while poor old Kingston struggled gamely to
the last and heat Iddosloleh for tbo placo.
ITlio rout was a complete triumph for the
bookmakers.
The second event was another fakir for
the tuckers of the favorites. The race for
the Lorlllard stakes was a surprise for
many. It wns won by the game and hand
some little colt , Sir Walter , who was a dual
favorite with Don Alonzo. St. Leonards ,
the favorite , wns beaten early in the race.
Thb Messrs. Keene have now tried St.
Leonards with Tnral , Garrison and Simms.
They may bo satisfied that St. Leonards is
not the world hrator they thought him to bo.
A lot of money was on Sir Walter. Thu
gross value of tndn.v'3 stake was $18,230 ;
$2,000 of the money goes to second and $1,000
to third. The tlmo Is within a second and a

Three more matches were decided in the
local tennis tournament last night on the
courts of the Omaha '
Tennis elub'oit Haruoy
B I root.
Culllngham nnd Cookson went Into court
early to finish their tingles contest so that |
they would ho nblo to get on with hone
doubles before dark. Culliughuin had ono
love set to his credit , nnd it was generally
cxpcclcd that ho would very ijuickly score
the other six games necessary tp give him
the rubber , and that the match would bo
over. But whether ho was too sure of win
ning or his opponent played above his form ,
Mr. Culllughain came within very little of
getting Knocked out. Cookson cer
tainly played brilliantly. Ho kept
Ills powerful adversary running from side to
elde of the court and rarely made an error.
Culllngham was playing n hard game and
every lroko hud somuthiug behind It. Ho
volleyed whenever ho could , to force the
game , but it seemed that whenever ho made
what ho Intended us a winning stroke It
would go over the line or Into the nut. Anyway -
way ho lost the second set nnd four games
nil was culled lu the third set before ho
captured It.
TliU watch had tukitu up ao much time
that It was too late to begin n doubles game
when It wns over , and the tlo footwwn Cnl-
llagham nnd Baitln , the Ma to champions ,
nnd Young and Cooltnon had to
l > o put off until today. It will
bo played tonight nnd Is expected
to attract n largo number of spectator * .

Major Blrkhauier's oniclal career will end
with today , and James H. Wlnspear will as
sume the duties of chairman of the Board
of Public Works. Last evening the council
confirmed the appointment of Mr. Wlnspoar
as n member of the boanl nud his designa
tion ns chairman by n vote of 11 to 1. At the
snmo tlmo nnd by the same vote the council
refused to concur In Mayor Bomls' designa
tions of Major Balcombo as street commis
sioner and Major Furay as sewer commis
sioner.
It has boon many a day slnco the lobby
was so well filled as It was last evening , nnd
the whole Interest centered In the probable
action of the fathers on the appointment.
Half n dozen ladies , who have taken some
what of an interest In the outcome , were pres
ent , and remained during the session until the
special committee on the appointment sub
mitted Its report nnd the same was adopted ,
Mr. Winspcar's bond for $10,000 , with A. H.
Saundei-3 and Gcorgo Holmrod ns sureties ,
was approved.
The democratic members wcro conspicuous
for their absence , us was President Becbcl ,
who Is sojourning in Denver , and Mr. Haa-
call , who was excused previous to the time
that the commltteo reported. Mr. Parker
also quietly departed , and Mr. Elsasser and
Mr. McAndrows failed to put in nn api > ear-
nnco. Mr. Howcll is In Seattle , and this loft
the Hold exclusively to the republicans. The
nnticluatcd opposition failed to manifest
itself. The committee's report was adopted
as follows :
Your committee , to whom was roforrcrt a
communication from the mayor , appointing
James H. Wlnspoar a nii-iiibur of the llonrd of
Public Works and designating the said Jamas
H. Wlnspear as chairman of said board , and
the said St. A. I ) . llnlcombo to fill the olllco of
street commissioner and John H. Fumy to flit
the ofllco of sowur commissioner , bi-s leave to
report Unit we have carefully examined the
matter and recommend that the nptiolntinont
nf Jamt's H , Wlnspear as a member of the
Hoard ot 1'ubllc Works and his designation as
chairman bo confirmed.
Wo further rccommond that In view of the
proceedings In the district court , and for
other reasons , that llio council refuse lo
concur In or conllrm llio designation of St. A.
1) . Ilaleombo to llll thu olllco of .street , com
missioner and John II. I'nray'to fill the ollico
of sewer commissioner.
Tlio report was signed by Mnhro , McLonrlo ,
Hack and Saunders , Deckel not' signing the
samo. ' '
Mr. Munro moved the adoption of the report
port , and he wondered what'liatf become of
the disciples of democracy who hold down
chairs at the meetings of the council. Ho
suggested that it might bo a good idea to
arm the scrgcaut-at-arms with search war
rants and bring in the absentees so that
they might go on record. Itoll call was or
dered on the adoption of the report , and it
resulted as follows : Ayes Back , Brunei * ,
Eawards , .lacobson , McLearlo , Munro ,
Prince , . Saunders , Specht , Thomas and
Wheeler. Nays Stool.
Mr. Stool was hopelessly in the minority ,
Ho explained his vote by paying Mr. Win-
spear n neat compliment for the faithful serv
ice ho has rendered the city , and said while '
ho desired to see him n member of the Board
of Public Works , ho could not vote for him
as chairman , as many desired Mr. Winspoar
to fill ono of the other positions on the board.
As soon as the vote was announced Mr.
Wlnspear , who was present , received the
congratulations of his friends , and the largo
crown in the lobby dispersed.
"Again tlio Veto. "
Mayor Bemis vetoed the resolution relat
ing to the appointment qf appraisers to np-
pr.iiso lots 1 and 20 in block 1 of Shriver
Place for the reason that the mayor was not
satisfied concerning the correctness of the
recitals in the resolution.
The mayor also vetoed an ordinance orderIng -
Ing the grading of Hickory street from Fifth
to Sixth street for the reason that the city's
share would bo J4.600 and the general fund
is not in condition to stand such a draft ;
also another ordinance ordering the grading
of the alloy west of block 7 , IJupont Place ,
ns the alley , so-called , Is not a street and the
grade has never been establishnd or ap
praisers appointed to dote t-miuo the damages.

mand any orders that may huvo issued di
recting contractors to commence work on
the Chicago , Valley and Twenty-first street
sewers and to notify contractors not to pro
ceed witli the work until they receive such
orders , for the reason that the bonds have
not been disposed of and no funds are avail
able.

Mr. Wheeler explained that this stop

City Knclncer Hosowatcr replied that the
work on these sewers was well under way
and that several partial estimates had ,
already been allowed.
Mr , liascall and Mr , Munro urged that the

Mr , Jncobson desired n committee to in
vestigate , as did Mr. Parker and Mr. Ed

Mr. Wheeler gathered n copy of the
charter Into his bund * and pointed out what
ho considered legal complications that would
nrlso In case it was attempted to divert
money from other funds to the sewer fund
Ho was fearful If such u stop was taken that
some of the members of the council mijrhi
bojourn at Lincoln during the approaching
campaign Instead of cngnglng-tn the pastime
of buttonholing a constituency.
Mr , liascall considered Omaha bonds as
solid as gold and ho wanted money taken
from other funds mid used in the sewer fund ,
to bo replaced by the bonds of the city. Ho
thought it better to dispose of the luxurious
council chamber carpet rather than to put usu
stop to the work. Mr. Hiucall said that if
work on tlio North Omaha sewer was
stopped the city would buffer a loss of at
least 7,000.
The whole matter was referred to the com-
iniiteo on Judiciary , city attorney , city en
gineer und city treasurer to report Thursday

Vt'oiither .Service.
WASHINGTON , July 11. Tlio atmosphere
about the weather'bureau has cleared off
very perccptibly's'tuco" the recent investiga
tion , and affairs'ar6'tiinnlngalong smoothly.
TlSc > o position of c'iiiof of the weather bureau ,
Secretary Morton looks upon as one entirely
without the pale of politics , nnd Prof. Har
ringlon will probably remain. This bureau is
ono in which Secretary Morton has taken a
lively interest , and he said today that It was
his wish to make It popular ; remove -
move It from the rather high scion-
title piano to which it had grad
ually ascended and bring it down to a ,
level where it would abound in practical
work. In short , he will insist upon usolu ,
forecasting , so that the farmer , the miner
the shipper and the commercial man can de
rive from It the greatest possible good.
What the people most want , said Secretary
Morton , is the knowledge beforehand of
what is to happen , so they can prepare for
itHi , rather than u scientific diagnosis in the
line of cause and effect after it is all over.
Secretary Morton has also decided to dis
continue the river and flood work at u nearly
date and place thp river forecasts in charge
olA observers located on the principal rivers.
As a result" of this Messrs. Carl Larius. F.
II BIgelow and Thomas Uusscll , professors
of meteorology , will bo dropped from the rolls
this month , together with a number of clerks
nnd other employes.
In his forthcoming report Secretary Mor
ton will make two imirartaiit recommenda
tions contemplating radical changes in the
Department of Agriculture. One relates to
the indiscriminate-distribution of garden
seed and ttio other to duplication of experi
ments by stations of work now being done.
The latter relates to sorghum and irrigation
experiments , and his recommendations will
bo ( ( In favor of a cessation of this unnecessary
and wasteful expenditure of the public
money.

WASHINGTON" , July 11. A statement issued
from the Treasury department today shows
that the net gold In the treasury at the end
of Juno last wns $95,483,413 , which was more
than the total at'thb end of either of the two
months preceding. In the ten days from
Juno SO to July 10 the cold holdings increased
from $ ' . ) .vl8.- , -m to $ W,230.G7r , nnd the tables
show a slow but steady increase from Juno
10 last , when the not gold statement was
$8'il078OS , ' > , the lowest point touched
In many years. The customs receipts ut
.Now York last mouth were ? 9,3.7,7Ui ! : , a
reduction of 020,909 as compared with the
preceding month , nnd of &J.'iy,47'3 as compared
with the corresponding month of 16UJ. A
significant feature of the treasury statement
is that not a cent of the receipts for last
Juno were paid in gold or gold certificates ,
but wore made up of silver certificates 13 per
cent , United States notes K ! per cent and
treasury notes UTi per cent , and the May
statement was little bettor in this respect.
In Juno , 1892 , 8 per cent of the receipts were
paid in gold certificates and 20 per cent in
