B1f%m1m2MAMs MUST BE SETTLED To-DAY--A LEGAL CONTEST

THE DERBY DRIVING ASSOCIATION. June 17.--To-day (Monday) the attachment served in the interest of the estate of H. s. Sawyer for feed, on the property of the horse railroad, must be settled one way or the other; pay up or close up business. are the dilemmR's horns. The amount of the claim is three thousand dollars for oats, hay, etc. The company maintains it's ability to meet the current expenses and was doing we'll until the blizzard gave the road a set- back in addition to bad management by Su- perintendent McGill. Should the road fail to pay it's costs, the only feasible plan would be for the Electric Railway company to buy it up or absorb it, making circuit or belt road, which originally ought to have been the deal.
 Next week on Tuesday commences the second spring meeting of the Derby Driving association. The entries are gratifying in numbers and quality of record.
 The horses listed by Swann and Nelson have been under care of their trainers at the park. Joe s. is the property of Flaherty a wholesale liquor merchant of Birmingham, and will be driven by Walker of Port Jefferson, who last year speeded Regal and Starlight on the same course as they will try next week. Odd Eel low, Westchester Girl, Mohawk, Judge Par sons and Jet have all tried conclusions on this track before. At the last meeting of the directors a number of new sheds were order ed to be erected. The only lack of enterprise seems to be seen in an indifference to fixing up or leVeling and packing the track. It is uneven in sections and not hard as good time demands. The complete list of horses book ed for this spring event is as follows:
