Rrocco, She six-year-old son of Emperor
and Dr. Breeze. demonstrated his sprinting
qualities at Alexander Island yesterday by
running five furlongs in 5915 seconds and
winning in q gallop by three lengths from
some fast horses. such as Con Lucy and
Berwyn. Judging from his recent two per-
formances the great sprinter is agan in the
pink of condition. and if he will be able to
negotiate the distance in the Christmas hand
leap on next Tuesday, the purse seems to be
safe for him despite that he has been harshly
treated by the Handicapped.
Yesterdays racing was witnessed by large
crowd. The weather was mild and the high
wind which blew over the grounds helped the
racers to make fast time over the straight
away course.
The delays at the post in the first two races
were annoying, and the conduct OF the assist
ant starter, while arranging the two-year-
ods in line in the second race in front of the
grand stand, was unbecoming to a human be-
ing. This race was full of incidents and ac-
cidents. In the fir.t place the youngsters got
off in Struggling order, Calista Icing left
standing still. The next to happen was that
the gelding Fencer fell at the upper turn,
breaking his back. Lady DANNY was crowded

MORE BUILDING INSPECTORS. 4
Federation of Labor Committee Asks for
Increase of the Fore


Increase of the Fore
At meeting of the Federation Of Labor on
Tuesday evening last the Iegis ative commit
tee, consisting of George o. Cock, and NJ P.
Canty, were directed to appear before the
Subcommittee on Appropriations for the Dis
trict, and TO urge that committee to report
iayorably an appropriation for four additional
assistant Inspectors OF buildings, ASKED by the
Commissioners aud tie in-I Iec.Or of buildings.
FMS committee obtained a nea ing on
WedDes lay They presented ia Is and figures
showing the absolute necessity o. the appoint
menr o. the additional inspectors.
Attention was called 10 the IA that there
has been a rad cal change in the meybod Of
building, and in the character of uildings,
n recent years. ana that this change ret uircs
u more stringent enforcement of building
resula- ems. in order to insure good ami su5-
stautiai construction. and 10 protect life and
property.
Il was also shown that the most rigid in
spectICn as to labor material and method of
building Is necessary. For TINS he ioree OF
the inspector OF buildings, 1t is claimed has
been entire Y inadequate, while tue receipts
of the Office are greatly in excess of the ex-
Fenditures. hence the additional force and
appropriation vii entail no extra expense,
either on the Taxpayers or on the Treasury.
As an exhitit OF interest, It is shown that
in 1882 the receipts from the fees OF the build
ing inspectors Office were 5,56I in excess Of
the expenses There was also savin4, Of
$1,000 in the architectural work. making a
