Some interesting exhibitions of the
financial management of township af-
fairs are made by the auditors of Halle

terested in the subject we extract the
following facts from the official records:

he charged against the township were
for his own services 344 days, $646. 22;

total claim, and surcharged Sharkey
with $121.25 excessive horse hire; S17O. SO

Two of the items of his expenditures are
Daniel Corners, $40 days, $500; Daniel

Brief Mention of Happenings ON tn,
Other Side of Rock Creek.

Other Side OF ROCK Creek.
Yesterday a Metropolitan car horse fell
in hole that had been excavated between
the rails at the corner of 31st and Dunn
barton streets. The hole was of such depth
as to nearly obscure the animal and of
just such width as to make 1t a tight fit
for him. A big crowd collected, and it
took considerable exertion to get the horse
to the surface The fall and dragging
forth so filled him with blood and bruises
that he was incapacitated for further work
that day. The companion car horse had
also been thrown about through the fall,
considerably to his impairment, and it be-
came necessary for men to take the car
back to the stables. This some company
employees did in roller coaster manner
giving 1t shove at the head of the in
cline at 3lst street and letting 1t rush down
the hill to 18th street, where, at the turn,
1t jumped the track, struck buggy and
later the curb. damaging it considerably.

BANaUETS VICTORY.
Comment of English Sporting Writers
on Sims Riding.


on Sims, Riding.
The London Standard says regarding
Banquet's victory yesterday: The American
horse Banquet was the third visitor to
carry silk here. The methods adopted with
the horse before the race excited no small
amount Of comment After he had been
given a long drink of water he was sent
sharply at three-quarters speed to the
Cambridgeshire stand and back. He was
then clothed in zebra-like red and blue
striped clothing, and few minutes later
was saddled for the race. A popularity of
this operation was that the saddle did not
carry girts, only a couple Of surcingles.
The horse was backed for pounds shil-
lings and pence; in fact, for every farthing
that could be got on him in any part of the
ring. but in the running as much as 100 to
was offered against him in certain quar-
tiers.
Sims. as usual. riding hard the whole
way made 1t look as though the horse
were beaten. He stayed on well, however
and on rising out of the dip he had gal
Hoped the others to a standstill and won
easily.
There was keen competition for him af-
terWard. When the hammer fell 80 gum
cas- had been offered. The statement that
he had been bought in by his owner was
greeted with cheering The horse was then
led to his corner and washed down with a
preparation out of a hook bottle, for all
the world ike human being being sham
pood
Sporting Life says: Banquet won with any
amount in hand by three lengths. There is
no reason why he should not win grand
national If his owner chooses to put him at
steeple chasing later.
The Telegraph says: Banquet, despite his
innumerable races. looked as clean on his
legs as the day he was born. Although
Banquet had been satisfactorily clicked.
Sims did not repeat the forcing tactics that
in the race for the Crawford
plate. Greatly as Sims differs in style from
our own jockeys, only the prejudiced could
shut their eyes to fine combination in a
jockey-alertness and Judgment.
