record from 2:ISA to 2:41z, adding an
other Electioneer to the 2:l5 list. In the
pools the mare sold red hot favorite over
the field.
Nutwood Wilkes was the contending
horse in the first two heats, and his SPLEEN

his colored driver, w. Ceasei, to whom the
horses present fine form is due, after 9TH

COMPREHENSIVE R. R. PLANS
The lexington System in tho City and Its
Proposed Baltimore Connection.
Changes Contemplated I'm WashlnE-
ton Intended to Greatly Facilitate
Travel About the City.

Representatives Of the corporation which is
building the electric road between this city and
Baltimore, and also which controls the Belt and
lexington roads, appeared before the Commission
yesterday, stated in The Star, and explain
ed in detail the plans which they have under con-
temptation. As the readers of The Star are aware.
this company has recently asked from Congress the
authority make certain changes in its system in
this city, which involve not only the building of
extensions the present line, but the abandonment
of certain sections Of the existing road. For ex-
ample, they seek to have cross-town line
tending along street from cast to west. From
the eastern end of this line they ask authority
build line south along sth street east to the
navy yard. From 14th ard streets, connecting
with the lexington line north along 14h street,
thence along H street and out 18th street to the
Zoo is another proposed line. connection is also
asked along street between the proposed 18th
street line and the existing 18th street. Also n
continuation Of the 4th street line morrill, crossing
to 7th street by Pomeroy street. 1t is also asked
that permission be granted to connect the existing
line North Capitol street. along Michigan avenue,
with the 4th street extension. From the end Of
the existing line at 18th and streets the COM
pany desires to build extension along the Bla-
densburg road to the District line 1t is the desire
of the company to abandon the existing lines on
and streets, and also the line along E, 9th, Lou
isiana avenue and 18th street as far south as 3
street southwest.
THE PROPOSED CHANGES.
These changes graphically shown the
map which accompanies this article, and illustrates
