3'hls was n great day for Jookoy Snapper
Garrison nnd Drawer Khrot , the former beIng -
Ing the winning Jocnoy , the latter owning
tbo. winning horse of the rich Matron stake ,
which was decided hero this afternoon be
fore 15,000 , mon nnd women lovers of the
rnco horso.
! The , weather was simply perfection. A
strong wind > vus blowing down the straight
away and made the lightning fast track a
record breaking ono.
It WR expected that tbo Matron staKOs
would bo tha feature of the program , but
milch of Its Importance was lost sight of
when Ur , Ilnshrouck , with 183 pounds nnd 1
to 2 In the betting , chopped two full
seconds oft the llvo furlong record. No
ono thought the son of blr Modrod and
Sweet tlrlnr was fust enough to lower
thn r > 9 seconds originally made by Fides
over the snmo track and duplicated by him
self and several ethers afterwards , and
when GTftoconds wn * hung out by Iho olll-
clal timers after ho had galloped lu nhona of
his opponents , the spectator * were amazed.
It Is Boldom that two .seconds nro clipped of !
a record and the spectators wcto Inclined to
bo skeptical , Tlio tliuo was absolutely cor
rect.

It was really a record brouitlng truck.
Karen the Simppcr Itode.
Then en mo the Fordhnm handicap and u
plunga ou Montana , this year's Suburban
winner , who had Garrison in the saddle.
Equity was next In favor , with blolpner (4 (
to U , Ueckon ( T to 1) ) and others at still
longer odds. Ueckon jumped from Qftli
place into the leud at llagfall and never cave
her backers nn Instant's uneasiness. Sbo led
by from three to flvo lengths from start
to Unlsb , winning in a big gallop ,
whllo whips were Hying in the air
behind bor.
Speculation on the seventeen starters in
the Matron slakes was Spirited but rather
one-sided , Miss Maud and Sir FrnncU being
respective lirst nnd second choices at 1 ! and
2 to I. The others were nskecl to bo Packed
at from 8 to 1 to 100 to 1. The Rebecca
Uowott colt headed the bunch half way down
the bill and looked to bo a sure winner a six
teenth from the llnlsh. Suddenly the
only Garrison came out of the bunch with a
rush , followed closely by LlttloIIcld on Miss
Mauao. Jockey Billy Uonohuo. who owns ,
trains and rides the Kebocca llowott colt ,
made n Unul effort for the $42,000 Matron ,
Ilii colt , however , was doomed to do-
feat. Donohuc , becnuso of his lack
of riding ability , was no match
for either Garrison or Llttloflcld ,
the Snapper driving Sir Francis
in a winner by-a head from Miss Maude , who
was a head in front of tbo unnamed colt ,
Englo Bird being at the tatter's shoulder.
The stake was worth $42,000 , of which $2,500
gucs to the second horse and $ lf > 00 to the
third. The race was a scorcher from the
start , the 2-year-old runnlnelt In 1:10 : , which
Is only a quarter of a second behind tbo
record made by Yemen. Garrison was
greeted with salvos of applause. Ilo could
have won -with either Miss Maude or the
Ilobocca Uowott colt , It was a case of a
clover jockey against loss competent riders.
'Ills fee for winning with Sir Francis Is said
to bo $5,000.

On tbo WnuHlrlil Contract.
Upon the subject ot the John A. Wnko-

ho amount thereof should bo furnished to the
illy. Any other cmusu would lead illrc > etly

nan would take Issue.
The vote was sustained by a unanimous

Vetoed un Kvou Do/on.
There were votooi on an even dozen sldo-
ivnlk resolutions. The points on which the
vetoes were based were all of a similar na-
.ure , and the facts stated In this ono show
, vliat the mayor found lu each of Iho rcso-
utions :
I herewith return without my approval resolution
elution No. 85. of September lil. ordering a
wooden sidewalk on Tlilrty-sovunth "ave

'or the reason , as stated In my veto of n snn-
.lnr resolution last wcolc , that there Is no
Tlilrty-sovoittli "avenue" In Iho addition ro-
'erred to.
It seems very atrniig * tlmt the members Ot
.ho council should accept the olT-haud opln-
ona of members und others as against tlio
ttttomoiits made In a vuto mossaue. which
are ( variably bused on a full und careful In
vestigation. Such action only results In bur
dening the olllc'al records of the city with
llegal res'jiutlons and can never result In se-
urliiK tlio walks intended tu bo ordered by
tbe resolution. If the members or others who
prepare these resolutions would uxorc.so oven
the plluhtoat cure In the preparation ot these
resolutions all delay and Illegal action ml bt
brs avoided.
Scarcely a weel { passes without several
sidewalk resolutions belntf paanud by the
council which give evidence o their face of
Krosaost carelessness , and the tact that , these
same resolutions are reported back to thu
council by a commlttoo , with the st-ttcmoiit
that "they have carefully examined the sumo
and recommend that the same do pass. " Is
indued a poor commentary on the manner In
wuicli commiteo ! work Is done.
hast week was no excop'loii ' to the rule , and
live such resolution1 ] are returned liecaiiso of
wrouc descriptions or other blunders for
which there can he no reasonable excuse.
All of those vetoes were sustained by a
unanimous voto.
