I5c HARTIMAS WINS FUTURITY & .t Long Odds of Portj to One Ha Beats Out the Publics' Favorites. AUTUMN AND SIR HUBERT LEFT BEHIND Iprnt an Hour and u Half Away anil Jooltryu Are Fined and Suspended for a Week. NHW YORK. Aug. 23. Fifteen thousand people aw Martlmas at the Ions odds of 40 to 1 , win the Great Futurity stakia at Shceprhead Bay today. High Degree coming in second , while the public choices were nowhere. The delay at the pout was the longest on record in thin country , even beatIng - Ing Pettingell's Chicago Derby , which waa n hour and thirty minutes. The horses , the starter said today , were well behaved , and so he proceeded to administer fines ad libitum and aet do\\n for a week four of the jockeys , Including Sloan. At the opening of the betting Autumn * as a fa\orlto over the Flel chmann stable's Dr. Eelchberg aad Sir Hubert , and at the end waa really the favorite , although his price waa a tittle .higher , but then it was one horse against two. The Madden string. Glenhelm. Rhlnelander and Scannell , were next 111 favoritism , and down In the ring , where It wni like a furnace , the men tum bled over each other In their eagerness to put up their money on their choice. High UfKrrc In the Lend. The parade to the post began at 4 05 o'clock and the twenty-three youngsters' cantered up the track. Then began the da- lay. Several times the starter descended to the track and gave the boys a talking to , but to no use. It was 5 37 when the twen tieth and last break came , exactly one hour i I and tnlrty-two minutes after they reached ! the post , and for so many youngsters It' was really a good start. They were prac- ' tlcnlly in Une , the only one , really out of It being Duke of Mlddleburg , who was to all Intent * and purposed left at the post. High Degree was the Brst away , with a . little the better of Prestldigltatrlce. Ruaher , j I Sir Hubert , His Lordship. Seannell and Mar- j timaj , the others being close enough up to ' have a chance. Maner. the quick-witted lightweight , dug his heels into High De gree and set sail for the pole. In a few j strides the filly had her nose in front of Rusher Inch by inch at first , then foot by foot and the short lint furlong had been covered , with High Degree half a length In front of Rusher , he a couple of lengths In front of Autumn , on whom Taral was strug gling hard in the deep , going on the out side of the chute. Presttdl itatrice was only a neck behind , with Scannell , Martlmas , His Lordship and Sir Hubert following and 11 the others well up. It waa anybody's race then The tl.ute was narro.cing now and all were decking a good place In which to round the bend into the main track. Maher wanted the hard going at the rail , but Rusher clung to High Degree like a leech and would not be shaken oit. Two furlongs had been cov ered and High Degree waa still half a length In front of Rusher , who was then ouly a neck In front of the favorite Autumn who ! was a nose in front of Sir Hubert , be In I turu being a neck in front of the Canadian. I Martlmas. PrestldlBltatrice was falling out | 1 of It and Armament was getting prominent | Mulirr'a Hide fur Victory. Now came a hustle , far the turn was at band. All the boys were working like de mons to get to the front. Rusher stopped H U be cad been shot , and then bow ' Maher did ride. Crouching low on the filly's , neck he drove her with hands and heels i , and when there was hut a quarter of a mile to go he was a good length and a half In front , but he did not dare to swing over against the rail now , as he was far out on the track. Lewis , however , had gradually worked to the rail and as they turned Into the homestretch he was In the coveted hard ground. Martimas was flying He was already in second place at the quarter , two lengths in front of Rusher , who was a length In front of Mr Clay , who was in a bunch with Dr. Eichberg , Sir Hubert and His Lordship Now the last furlong pole was reached and little Maher saw Martlmas rush by on the firm , hard footlns against the rail , while the tired filly under him was stopping in the deep dust , an < } Autumn , Mr Clay and Dr. Eich berg , with Sloan on the latter , finishing In his best syle , were trying to wrest the second end place away from him. For an Instant Autumn bad his nose in front of the filly and then stopped as if be had been shot and finished away back. Then Maher worked harder than ever and , although he could not catch the Canadian in front , who won easily by a couple of lengths , he could and did get second money by half a length. There was a pretty struggle for third place between Williams on Mr. Clay and Sloan on Dr. Elchberc and the former cot it by a hpad. The remainder of the bunch were so close together at the end that it was Impossible to separate the horses. The boys who caused the delay at the start were fined J20 apiece and Sloan , Claw- son , Penn and Murphy were susoended for a week Summaries First race , six furlongs : Claroba. won , Helen Thomas second , Leplda third.

Concerted action la to be taken by the packlns houses and stock yards with a view to having the boulevard from Hanscom park to the entrance to the stock yards properly repaired and placed In a passable condition. During dry weather the road I Is all right for driving , with the exception that It gets very lusty , but during and fol lowing rains thioad Is almost Impassable. Dozens of men who have business Interests here drive to and from Omaha over thla . rood. It belns the moat direct and In fact [ the only practicable route. The intention of the packers aad others Interested la to present a petition to the county commissioners urging that the boulevard from Hanscom park south to the stock yards be graded and macadamized. This petition Is to be presented by men of Influence with the Idea , of doing everything possible to have the prayer sranted. The desire of the packers and the stock yards company was made known to Mayor Ensor yesterday and he promised to do what he could , but he stated that at the present time the city waa In no condition to stand any portion of the expense. This boulevard , the mayor says , Is not used to any great extent by South Omaha citizens , unless it be for pleasure driving , and for that reason he does not feel like advocating the expenditure of any of the city's money for this grading and paving when the majority to be benefited reside in Omaha. With this road In good shape the drive from Omaha can be made In much less time than at present and In wet weather itfe benefit will be especially no- Ijjtlceable. Nearly every hea\7 rain washes out a portion of the road and as repairs are seldom made the roadbed is a aeries of miniature hills and valleys from one end to the other. Should the county com missioners see Dt to order the Improve ments made it will be necessary to take steps to enforce the council resolution passed some time ago directing the placing of a watchman at the grade- crossing near D street. When this matter was up sev eral months ago the railroads objected to locating a watchman at the crossing , but ijreed to put In an automatic crossing The Greatest Linen Sale Linens Imported direct from the world's best looms , Ireland , Scotland and Hol land predominating.

The council consented to this ar rangement , with the understanding that should the appliance prove unsatisfactory it should be removed and a watchman sta tioned there. A short time after thla agree ment several serious accidents were nar rowly averted and the attention of the cfly lawmakers was again called to the dan- geroua crossing. It then developed that neither a watchman nor an automatic ap pliance had been provided. The railroads were jacked up and then orders were Is sued for all trains to stop at this crossing and be TTagged across by a brakeman. Thla scheme worked for perhaps a week and then the brakemen concluded It was too much work and neglected this part of their duties. Other complaints followed and the railroads Issued additional orders covering the crossing , but scarcely a day passes without some one reporting that he barely escaped being run down by a passing engine. Those who are behind the scheme appear to think that the county commissioners can be induced to do something In the matter. Six Tonuhrm Short.
