CLEAR THIS AFTERNOON.
Mr. Dunn Predicts Good Weather
for the DomIno-NnvnrreR Race.

Local Forecaster Dunn. when besleged
by anxious turfmen this morning. said
that there was every prospect that the
sky would clear this afternoon. and
that fine weather would prevail on the
occasion OF the great Domino Henry OF
Navarro match race tomorrow.
The showers which fell this morning
were merely local, and not the advance
agents OF the storm prevailing in the
West. The latter disturbance is going
north, and II Is not likely that II will
reach this locality
Granting that the Weather Bureaus
demonstrations are correct. the Brook
iyn Jockey Club can easily get the track
into excellent shape by the time the
great match Is run.

CAN SELL STANDING ROOM.
Fight Between Theatres and Fire
Department Settled.
Passagewnys to the Doors Must Be
Kept Open.

The war between the theatrical man
ayers and the Fire Department relative
to the enforcement Of the ordinances
providing for keeping the aisles in places
of amusement clear is practically at an
end, and all of the theatres have re-
sumed selling admission tickets for
standing room as heretofore.
At the Bijou Theatre II was said to-
day that they had been notified by the
Fire Department last night that they
could resume selling standing-room tick
cts, providing a space was kept clear
leading to the exits. At the Fifth Ave-
nue., Empire, Fourteenth Street, Broad
way, Casino and Abbey's Theatre
it was learned that the sale of admission
tickets had been stopped for one night
only.
]. Charles Davis, manager for II. C.
Miner, OF the Fifth Avenue Theatre,
said he did not think the law would be
technically enforced. He had heard o,
no meeting of managers being held, ana
was at a loss to know WHO appointed
Messrs, Rosenquest, Mckee, Lederer and
Schoeffel committee to devise means to
have the ordinance repealed. He thought
the law too sweeping. =, A..
BOARD Of Fire Commissioners, is in
doubt whether the lobby In the rear of
a theatre can be defined as an aisle. and
has issued instructions that the firemer
shall use discretion and see that path
ways through the lobby to the doors are
kept clear, and that II this Is done II
will cover the case.
This satisfies the managers, who say
that hundreds Of people enter the thea
tres after the first act, and prefer 70
purchase ticket emitting them to
standing room only.
AT the Empire Theatre Manager Rock
wood said the enforcement OF the ordi-
nance would not affect his house, as
the patrons wer of a class that pur-
chased high priced seats. 1t might ar
feet the holders of Autograph tickets
hut II il was decided to technically en-
force the ordinance, they would either
abandon all window advertising or give
the holders of the tickets a seat.
Casino, said they had a slxty-four- foot
space in the rear OF their auditorium
and they would continue to sell admiss.
sion tickets until this space was hall
filed.
the reservirg of space to the doors
would satisfy the Fire Department, In
consequence Of which they would take
no concerted action on the matter.

items, and the secret would probably
not have been discovered had II not
been for Policeman Murphy, While pa

coming from the water
He Investigated and found the two
boys sitting In Mcklllups roWpoat.
They were busily engaged in painting 1t

The probabilities are that the case

They are both of respectable parcntage.
