For the first time during the meeting not
favorite won at the st. Asaph track
yesterday, and against one of the winners.
First Light. as good as 80 to /. could be
had. All the other races were taken by
second choices, so the boolkies did not have
as profitable time of 1t as the monoto-
nous downfall of the favorites would at
first indicate. For some unknown reason
Weinberg was made to favorite over
Derfargilla, but the latter, against which 2
to / could be had at the close of betting
won easily. There was one accident the
first on the track, Pretence having to be
destroyed as tho result Of a fall in the
first race. Macy, who rode. was unhurt.
In the match race, Romping Girl. at to

wood Avenue.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
May we, the residents and taxpayers OF
Brikhtwood and Takoma, reach the District
Commissioners through your paper, and
possibly the superintendent Of roads. IL
we have one, through them, as to the ter
rible cor dition of Brightwood avenue?
This is, think, the most important road
way leading to Washington, and 1t Is not
only shamefully neglected, but is allowed
to remain in a dangerous condition while
some other roads Of far less Importance
are being graded paved and kept In first
class repair.
/ think we are entitled to know why the
ugly holes that can be found all along the
line of this road cannot be filled with suit
able material. The Brightwood Railway
Company is using an important part of
this highway, and 1t ought to be required
to so repair the same about its tracks so
that the driving public can cross and re-
cross them without actual danger. This
roadway is also very unsafe at night with
the rapidly passing cars and insufficient
light. If the railroad company cannot
light up this highway properly as 1t ought
to do, then the District authorities should
do scat once before we have some serious
accident. 1t is true that we have a few
gas lamps, but not a sufficient number,
now that we have the railroad and conse-
Quently reduced width Of roadway, and
these lamps do not extend as far as the
gas main has been laid. l.. p. 8.

Tobacco Chewers In Street Cars.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
am much pleased to see the frequent
comments in your paper upon the filthy
habit Of expectorating tobacco Juice. As
was standing with my daughter one day
on 14th street waiting for cable car, (which
we wished to enter, to come to full stop,
a man in the grip car relieved himself Of
mouthful Of the filthy liquid, which was
carried by the wind across the fronts of
our skirts. Fortunately they were of wool
en- material, so the disagreeable incident
caused only the loss of fine handkerchief
the only means at hand for removing the
disgusting deposit. Had they been Of silk
or other delicate material, they would have
been ruined. Such a practice is an outrage
upon the public, and. IL the men addicted
to this habit cannot Of themselves see the
evil of it, measures should be taken to re-
strain them. RESIDENT.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Many improvements Looked for or
the G. and D. Canal.

Many improvements Looked for on
the c. and o. Canal.
There are many indications leading up
to the belief that the transportation COM
pany organized some time ago for the
purpose of facilitating, charging and i'm
proving the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
trade will begin to operate early next
Conclusively that the canal when properly
managed is a paying affair that the pro-
motors of the transportation company have
decided to delay now no longer than is
absolutely necessary to make and perfect
arrangements. Whether electric or mule
power will be used is now under considera-
ton. Should the transportation company
decide to use the electric power, the
trustees of the canal, 1T Is understood, are
to furnish the wires and appliances either
experimental or permanent. The trans
portation company, however, is not to pos
sess exclusive rights over the canal trade.
1t Is claimed by an officer of the Chosa-
pcake ami Ohio car al that il woLll take
three millions of dollars to electrically
equip the commercial highway. To newly
equip with boats and mules, but s4J0,0D
expenditure would be necessary. This
great difference seeus IT, he no object to
the transportation men, as IL spite of all
Figures exhibited by Did canal men, they
one. The C;Inal under the most favorable
conditions can admit of the passage Of
but 100000 tons Of coal a year through
the locks Two hundred boats of the pres
ent capacity can accomplish this end
readily.

The Crime Against Horse Flesh.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Whether the President has had the tails
of his horses locked or banged, as report
ed. or not, the report Is the sufficient war
rant for calling attention again to a sub
ject upon which you animadverted SO just
ly and emphatically a few weeks ago.
Since then the fast set and the fashionable
set. have been coming back to the city in
increasing numbers, and their presence Is
advertised by the greatly increased num-
Der of banged and stump-tailed horses,
which offend our sight every day. One can
hardly pass along any of our principal
streets or avenues without meeting painful
exhibitions of the extent to which this dis
fgurement of the noblest and most useful
of our animals has gone. Today an In
stance OF 1t met my view which would
have been most ludicrOus If 1t had not been
SO repulsive to all humane feeling-a pair
of horses or what were horses once, driven
tandem to q light cart, whose tails had not
only been locked. but shaved in addition,
so that there was left, where tails should
have been, only a stiff, hairless stump, per-
haps six inches in length, which had the.
appearance of vitality and of being a part
OF the horse about as much as II 1t had
been wooden peg projecting from the
animal.
But this and like exhibitions are the
fashion with certain set, and they illus
trate, as the freaks of fashion so often do,
the difference between taste and fashion.
The one is based upon laws and principles
of reason and truth; the other has no basis
but within and idiosyncracy or vanity.
Taste can always justify itself to the rea-
son; fashion seldom appeals to that tribu-
nal In the present case such an appeal
would be met by swift condemnation. The
Disagreement of horsefesh, which Is now
so common, is at the same time a cruel
abuse of the horse and gross violation Of
taste, as well as an impeachment Of the
wisdom of the Creator. If this curtailment
of our horses is in accord with good taste,
then let us go out and chisel off the tails
of the bronze horses which now grace our
streets and public grounds, and SO make
them conform to the fashion. Let us go
into our art galleries, public and private.
and call upon the painter to bring his
palette and brushes and paint out the Of
fensive tails of the horses wherever they
appear upon the artists canvas. Are we
ready for this? The mere suggestion hope
lessly condemns this whole craze and cruel
ty combined. Art and taste are in accord
with nature-not in violation of 1t. Let US
make no compromise with this cruel fash
ion. 1t Is against the laws of the District
to inflict this cruelty upon animals Such
a wrong cannot be perpetrated within its
limits II done, 1t must be done elsewhere,
and 1t Is only on this condition that these
mutilated beasts can be paraded here be-
fore our es. Would that we had law
that wou | forbid their being brought
within oar city and which would cause
them to be expelled from it on sight. E.
