This was q "baug-up" race, and
created more enthusiasm than all the

matched that, Notwithstanding seven
heats were contested, the race was not
finished. The final heat will come of
this morning. Each Of three horses
have won two heats, and the fourth has
captured one. The betting changed on
each heat, the winner Of the preceding
heat being in each instance the favorite-

WHY HE LICKED RYAN.
Mcnamara Charged with Being an Alien
and Importing Me>smaras Wholesale

The fight in the city hall between Street
Commissioner Tim Ryan and James Nc
Sanara. foreman of the sewer tunnel. and
its causes were the subject OF discussion in
the sporting and political fraternity yes
terday, all agreeing that il was pleasant
diversion from kruggery- The cause
seems to be q charge which has been freely
made that Mcnamara, although holding 3
responsible position for the city. is dis
qualified through not being naturalized.
THIS statement has been repeatedly
brought to the attention of the city off,
ciais, but not only has ii received no atten-
ton but il is alleged that Mcnamara has
been allowed TO violate the imported con-
tract labor law by bringing thirteen other
members OF his family from Canada TO
help him TO dig the tunnel. Matt Brane-
gan openly makes these charges, and
claims that the licking Mcnamara gave
Ryan was really intended for himself. He
made the following statement TO the Posr-
ISrELIIGENcER yesterday:
''McSamara wanted TO lick me. not
Ryan, because / said be was not citizen.
He said he would lick Ryan. Brannegan
or Lynch. Lynch Is brlckiayer whom
Ryan wanted McNamara TO give JOB in
SHt sS0tk tAuueA. out MGNaLldE3
because, he said. Lynch was not brick
layer. say he IS no judge of bricklayer
for the only building he ever put up in
Seattle was the Brodek-Schlessinge
building, which fell down. Mcnamara is
not citizen; he declared his intention on
February Is. 1892. and voted in the Second
ward for Ronald last spring and again
last fall, though he cannot legally vote.
There are fourteen McNamaras in Seat
tie now. all relatives of the superintend-
ent, who came from Canada TO work in
the sewer tunnels, and the only man be-
sides them who has worked in the tunnels
Is Charles Hawkey, an American. r. H.
Thompson, the city engineer. and J. w.
Van Brocklin, who claim TO be Repubii-
cans, hired this man Mcnamara, though
they knew he was not citizen, and there
fore could not legally be employed under
the charter. They said he was the only
man fit for the position, but neither of
them knew whether he was hit for it.
Thompson has no practical knowledge of
the work, and Van Brocklin knows still
less. MATT BRASSIGAN.

traction at Cordray's this week. commenc-
ing with this evening, and as the patrons

1t Is safe TO say that "0ur Regiment" will
prove fully as attractive as Hands Across

resentation last night TO a crowded house.
''Our Regiment" is a succession of humor-
Gus situations. with the characters con-
tinually at cross purposes, 20 that the play
affords constant laugh almost from be-
ginning to end. The great success achieved
by the new company last week is hoped to
be repeated, as there. appears TO be consid-
cradle comedy talent among the leading

The auditorium will have for its attrac-

AMONG THE LABOR UNIONS.
No Delegate to Attend American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor Convention.

No Delegate to Attend American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor Convention.
There is no longer any prospect that a
delegate will be sent from this state by
labor organizations to represent them in
ton of Labor, to be held in Chicago in De-
cember. The expense of sending a dele
gate is too great for any one OF the central
organizations to bear. and greater, it
seems. than all three are now willing to
contribute. The Western Central Labor
Union proposed TO the central bodies of
Tacoma and Spokane that the three join
and send delegate. Tacoma responded
favorably, but left the initiatory steps to
be taken here. Spokane has not responded
at all, and at the last meeting of the West
ern Central the question was laid on the
table indefinitely. The continued dull
ness of trade among the labor unions has
caused them to wisely husband their re-
sources and the money that would be
spent in sending delegate to Chicago will
be of service during the coming winter,
which is generally looked forward to by
trades unions as a hard one.
The Fishermen's Union, which organ
ICED and attempted to contro. the price of
fish, has had no meeting in several weeks.
They were unable to maintain the union
scale of prices and the union is practically
broken up for this season.
The Typographical Union held short
special meeting Saturday afternoon. The
regular monthly meeting will occur next

During the afternoon Mr.. Melvin had
sharp argument with the young man about
smoking cigarettes on the steps and on the
porches of the school building. The jani-
tor says the young fellow replied in an in

with his companions.
In the evening, Frank Melvin, the iani-
tors son, was going to visit playmate.

young man in one of the porches on the
north side of the building He immedi-
atelv told his father. who went out to
drive them away. Instead of complying

rooms In the building by his wife, son

an hour he remained in a dazed
condition, and to make things worse was
attacked by severe chill. His injuries
consist of two bruises on the head, one on
each shoulder and the right arm. He
complained of pains in his jaw. which
would indicate that his assailant scored a
