AFTER MANY WEEKS.
The Executive Improvement Commit
tee Corrals a Quorum.
Some Important Suggestions Made to
tho Trustees Regarding AVN
ings and Street Work.

The Executive Committee of the
Sacramento Improvement Association
held one of it's old-time meet
ings last evening. For the past few
months there have been no meet
ings for lack of quorum, but number
of the members happened to respond last
night, and Chairman Luhrs heaved sigh
of relief as the thirteenth member walked
into Justice Henry's Office, which was
chosen as the place of meeting.
There are twenty-five members of
the committee, and no business
can be transacted under the bylaws
unless majority of the entire COM
mlttee are present. BY O'Clock last
evening nearly twenty members were
present. Chairman Luhrs called the
meeting to order, and Secretary J. l..
Hughes read the minutes of the previous
meeting-so long ago that no attempt was
made to dispute the Secretary's record.
DOWN WITH THE WOODEN AWNINGS.
A'resclution was unanimously adopted.
requesting that the Beard of Trustees of
sacramento pass an ordinance, ordering
that all wooden awnings Supported by
posts be removed within the next twelve
months, and that when new awnings are
constructed, they be an adjustable avn
ing OF uniform hight and style, and not
suspended.
1t was also resolved that the Board of
City Trustees be requested to ordain that
all property owners on the business
streets of the city do away with wooden
sidewalks and lay cement or stone walks
within twelve months from and after the
passage of the ordinance.
ROLLER FOR THE STREETS,
There was a lengthy discussion
among the members present, in reference
to the proper manner of leveling and roll
ing the grayeled streets, and the debate
eliminated in the adoption of resolution
requesting the trustees to purchase q
steam roller OF at least twenty tons
weight, and require all contractors of
street work to roll the street before and
after the gravel is laid.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Luhrs, Irvine, Weinstock and Hughes
was appointed to present the resolutions
to the Board Of Trustees, and urge them
to pass the ordinance petitioned for.
NEW MEMBERS ELECTED,
DR.. Huntington, of the committee ap-
school yards, with view to ascertaining
whether or not they were planted too
close together and afforded more shade
than was desirable, stated that he had
made several suggestions to the Board of
Education, and had received the promise
that they would act on the matter.
The following gentlemen were elected
to fill the positions of members of the
committee who have not attended but
one or two meetings since the association
was in existence: J. M. Morrison, D. A.

sNowDEN GETS THE MONEY.

He Defeats Crozier, the Local Cham
pton, Again.
The last of the series Of races between
Snowden, the worlds champion mile
skater, and Arthur Crozier, the Sacra-
mento champion, was skated at the rink
last night before a large audience.
Snowden won it hands down.
Crozier took the lead at the start and
managed TO keep in the lead for seven or
eight laps. Snowden seemed to be in
better shape than in any of the previous
contests, and was skating easily. Before
they turned into the ninth lap Snowden
made a squirt, and passed the local man.
After that he had everything his own way,
and finished the mile in 3 minutes and 49
seconds, which is faster than the same
distance has been covered before on the
local rink.
The next attraction at the rink will
take place next Saturday evening and
will be race between Crozier, on skates,
against Knapp, the American champion
short-distance, bicycle rider. Knapp has
been seen in this city before, and his
speed on the big wheel is well known.
The race should be an exciting one.

DEATH RELIEVED HER.
Unfortunate Mrs. Foster Succumbs
Her INJURIES

Unfortunate Mrs. Foster Succumbs to
Her injuries.
Mrs. Mary H. Foster, the elderly lady
who was run over by street car at Tenth
and N streets last Thursday night, died
yesterday morning at O'Clock. When
her leg was amputated on Saturday the
doctors did not believe she could live, but
there was no alternative other than to
permit the mangled limb to remain on the
body, and this could not but cause death
from torture. Before she died Mrs. Fos-
ter asked to see Mr.. Winston, the driver
of the car which ran over her, and told
him that he was not to blame in the least.
The deceased was the stepmother OF Mrs.
William White, of Brighton, Mrs. Crewe,
of Walnut Grove, and Mrs. William K.
Foster, of Courtland. She had many
friends in Sacramento, and was well
educated woman. Her funeral will take
place this morning from st. Paul's Church
at $50 O'Clock.
