District Government Affairs.
PAVING OF NEW YORK AVENUE.

PAVING OF NEW YORK AVENUE.
The Commissioners have notified the Eek
ington and Soldiers Home Railroad through
their president, Mr.. George Truesdell, that as
they intend to pave New York avenue, between
9TH street and New Jersey avenue, they desire
to know the wishes of the company respecting
the paving of that portion Of said highway
lying between the track of the road.
NO Law IN THE CASE.
The Commissioners have lately received a
petition from the butter dealers in the western
market calling their attention to the occupancy
OF a stall by Mr.. l. Eiker for the sale of butter
in defiance of their late orders. The petition
ers add that they consider the use of such stall
as violation of the rights and privileges pur-
chased by them from the District of Columbia
The matter was referred to the police with in
structions to enforce the law, but nothing was
done with Mr.. Eiker, as there was no law under
which he could be convicted. The matter has
been referred to Attorney Riddle for report.
EXTENSION OF CONNECTICUT AVENUE
The Commissioners have received protest
from the attorney for Max Lansburgh against
the opening of Columbia road or Connecticut
avenue extended through the property Of Mr.
Lansburgh, that does not contemplate a rec
ompense to him in money for the damages that
would thereby be inflicted on his property.
Any entrance on this land, the protest con-
tinues, will be resisted according to law.
THE LIQUOR LICENSE WAR
has opened in earnest, and upward of a hun.
dred protests have been fled with the Com.
missioners against the issuance of the greater
part of the six hundred and twenty-six appli-
cations that have been received up TO the
present time. The Commissioners have had
two clerks detailed on the work of classifying
and now all the applications for licenses in a
certain square are connected together. Major
Moore was busy with the Commissioners this
morning going over the applications and pre-
pairing them for the final action by the board,
which takes place in few days.
BUILDING PERMITS
were issued to-day as follows: Edward Wolff.

GOOD RACING.
Resuming the Sports at Ivy City To- day.
PLEASANT WEATHER AND GOOD ATTENDANCE
PARAGON AND BRADFORD EASY VIM ERs IN THE
FIRST EvENrs-How THE BETTING WENT

The National Jockey Club certainly has every
reason to congratulate itself upon the post
ponement which brought the races over until
to-day. The weather, while, perhaps, trihe
cool, was otherwise all that could be de-
sired. The track, which on Sunday was q
perfect sea of mud, was to-day, to
the surprise of every one really good
although triAe lumpy and damp in spots
Tomorrow, however, if it does not rain in the
meantime, it will be fast, and, as the card for
tomorrow is a particularly strong one, includ-
ing a steeplechase, the attendance is sure to be
large and the contests interesting. The at.
tendance to-day was quite satisfactory and the
betting was brisk.
1t was not thought that there would be many
scratches as owners were nearly all more than
willing to run their horses after the enforced
rest they have enjoyed since last Thursday.
The judges for the day are Messrs. F. M,
Draney, Frank Hollingshead, and Geo. R.
Oyster, jr.
THE FIRST RACE,
one mile and an eighth, had the following
starters, with weights and jockeys: Taragon
1ls (Hayward; Bella B. lis Caylor); King
Grab, lis (Hamilton).
Taragon was a favorite in the books, the bet.
ting being 4 to 8, with nothing offered for q
place. Money could be obtained on Bella 3.

point she was overtaken by Taragon, who led
to the finish, winning the race under a pull
