The Commissioner teStlhed Ina. Inefe were

What is TO prevent dockmasters from max
ing incomplete returns of wharfage collected by
them ?" asked Mr. Clark.
The Commissioner confessed that there was
none There was no check upon the wharfngers'
collections and they would be safe in keeping back
the greater part of the wharfage money. De-
linquent vessels were always given TO the same
docl1master to collect from. No one else looked
after them.
Your doclSmasters seem TO have a pudding

MAUD S. HAS A RIVAL.
ROBERT BONNER BECOMES THE OWNER OF
SUNOL.
HER PRICE BEATS MAuD's PRICE AND MAuD's
RECORD is IN DANGER.

RECORD is IN DANGER
The great three -yearold trotter sunol. whose ex-
raoriinary record of 2:1o L. for mile. made on
saturday, created profound sensation among all
classes OF sporting men, has found new owner.
About fortnight ago, Robert Bonner. who had al
ready been much impressed by SunOlS great two
yearod record Of 16 and had received detailed and
trustworthy accounts Of her wonderful private trials
wrote to Senator Leland Stanford to whom she then be-
longed Offering to buy her and naming the price
which he was prepared To pay. On consideration
hls offer was accepted by Mr. Stanford, and II VIII
thus be seen that suno practically the property
Of Mr. Bonner days prior to her performance OF
Saturday.
In conversation on the subject with a Tribune
reporter last night Mr.. Bonner, who seemed delighted
with his good fortune said Il am not prepared to
say precisely what l have paid for the privilege
of owning sunol, but this much 1 can tell you: the
amount is considerably larger than ever previously
paid for any trotter-not excepting Maud s--for
whom, as you probably aware gave $4,000
which was then the highest price on record sunol is
by Eectoneer, her dam being by General Benton ana
her granddam by Lexington Jay-Eye-see's grand
dam also was by Lexington, while Maud s. Is directly
descended from Boston, the sire of Lexington
High as sunois price IS am convinced
that She will more than repay the outlay
II is perhaps needless for to that her two and
three year old records unparalleled and likely to
remain so, but beyond this am convinced that al
lowing for the ordinary natural improvement In speed
With age and training and all we'll Suno Will live To
beat anything yet accomplished in trotting expect
to see Maud 5 lower her own record Of OS "a, and
am pretty confident that sunol Will beat Maud 5.
To form clear idea Of her merits one must remem-
ber that while Jay -EyeSee and Maud s. were ~
spectlveiy six and eleven years old when they made
their 10 and 0s 3-4 records Sunol IS only three
years old with 1912
Having regard 10 the dangers attending the trans
porton of tOtng and racing stock at this period OF
the year, have decided to let sunol remain at
Senator stanfom's place in California until next
season. In conclusion, may tell you that have IL
from Count Valensln, who timed all her trials, that
suno in private has done half mile in :04 H. and
the quarter In 81 IA seconds"
