remarked an old citizen 10 CRITIC man.
"The Commissioners have taken wise action,
and the community will support them. OF all

where strangers and citizens should be able to
obtain cheap, satisfactory transportation from
one point of Interest to another, and rigid hack
regulations are a necessity. stranger at
depot does not want TO be torn to pieces by
rival hackmen, or have his hat and valiso car
ried to the White House In one hack while he
is hurried away toward the Capitol IN another.
II the city ia TO be made attractive TO stran-
gers and pleasant TO visitors, strict hack laws
are very necessary to protect the stranger and
the hackmau, and Just rules will meet with
no Opposition. When l want a carriage 1
walk past the stand, looking up at the sky or
reading q paper and jump Into the first car
rago with Its door open 70 prevent being
pulled to pieces by rivals for my patronage"
The scrlbe and his informant at this stage OF
the conversation reached n centrally-located

A Great Race Likely TO Fan Through.

The English Racing Calendar contai MS tho
nominations made for the Eclipse stakes OF
100000 net. But as the stake only received
260 subscribers there is possibility OF It's
falling through, for one OF the conditions OF
the race is, 1900 entries or the race Will be
void" The committee may, however, decide
TO have the race, IA the f0rfeits will no doubt
equal the amount guaranteed, there being no
desire TO make u profit, for 1t was stipulated
In the conditions that sin the event OF the for
feits exceeding the expenses OF tho stake the
surplus viii be devoted either 10 u cOnsola-
tlon stakes for the unplaced starters or
will be divided between the second and third
horses, at the discretion OF the executive"
One reason, perhaps, that the entry fell below
the stipulated 300 Is tho small number OF for.
eign entries-especially American, French and
German. The only American subscribers are
Mr.. Pierre Lorillard and Mr.. j. Il. Keene.
The former nominated Helmdel and Katrine,
both 1-year.ol In 1885, and the then 3.year-
old colts out Of Yandallte and Agenorla, all by
MOrtemer. Mr.. Keene's nominations included
the 6-year.old Blue Grass, the 5.year-olds
American Girl and Steerforth, and the i.year-
old English'bred colt by Kingcratt out OF Rus
