HoBoKEN'S MONEY GONE.
Common Council Issue BonGs to
Meet Claims.

CITY Treasurer James Smith of Hoboken
notified the Common Council at its meet
ing on Wednesday. night that he was in
need Of $25, 600 to meet certain claims
against the city which fall due on and
after today. 6The Councilmen were too
busy with asphalt contracts to give i'm
mediate attention to Mr.. Smiths request
50 they decided to hold a special meeting
last night for that purpose.
A resolution was passed ordering that
bonds be issued to cover the necessary
amount pending the collection of taxes.
The bonds will probably be purchased by
the local banks. The city's mos.ey supply
has been almost completely exhausted.
The State appropriation, however. has not
been paid in full and the taxes for the
ensuing year are not yet due.

high state of excitement. In rounding
into the fback stretch of the track on the
second lap Cornella II, who was driven
by her owner, Daniel Lewis. got her feet
mixed up with a boot worn on the front
leg and fell to the track while going un-
der a three-minute clip. The horse land
ed on her neck, and the sulky and driver
were thrown completely over her. The
horse and driver were stunned by the
fall, but quickly recovered and were on
their feet again before the crowd reached
them. When Cornella went Town she
was a length behind Sloppy Jack with
two other horses far enough behind to en-
able them to avoid running into the
smashup. In the two other heats Cor
nella had won second place, but the ac-
cident put her out of the race and the
third horse was presented with second
money. Sloppy Jack was the winner of
the first race and Kenneth trotted off
with the money in the 2:40 event. There

WAS HE THE CRATER ?
Charles b. Harkins Charged With Hav-
Ing Tricked L. +. Blomross
Ont of 500

T. Z. Blomross, the ships carpenter,
who was tricked out of $50 by CRATER in
the City Hall Monday morning, swore to
e warrant in Judge Lows court yesterday
for tbs arrest of John Doe' on the charge
of misdemeanor embezzlement.
Suspicion had fallen upon Charles B..
Harkirs, a man 81 years Of age, who at
one time held the position of deputy
county clerk. Monday night a descrip-
tioE OF Harkins was read TO the police in
each district with instructions to arrest
him.
Policeman John Cronin saw Harkins on
Fourth and Mission streets yesterday
afternoon and took him to the CITY
Prison. I. }. Farrell, clerk of Judge
Lows court, who was asked for a blank
form OF hail by the CRATER, had a look at
Harkins, but although he resem bled the
man he could not positively identify him
as he was busy at the time he handed out
the form and merely glanced at The ap-
plicant.
Harsins was confined in the tanks"
till Blomross could see him. Last night
Biomross called at the prison and imme-
diately recognized Harkins. who was at
once booked on the charge. Harkins
claims that he can prove an alibi, but the
police say they have other evidence
against him besides the Identification by
Blomross. Harkins was arrested Monday
afternoon along with two others on a
charge OF disturbing the peace and was re-
leased on bail.

Statements Of Some # the Eastern
Press Not Borne Out by

Never in the history of racing in the
State has such high-class sport been wit
messed as that furnished at the local track
controlled by the Pacific Coast Jockey
Club and at the new course Of the Cali
foruia Jockey Club across the bay. Kin
dred racing associations in other States
where winter racing is conducted have
sought through the press in different
parts of the country to throw SCOT by in
timating that the game here is on the
ragged edge and that the local and East
ern Sports "are all broke" How true
these reports are may be cleaned from the
following interviews with the most promi-
nent OF the visiting Eastern owners, book
makers, jockeys and betting men:
The racing is first-class in every respect and
equal to any have seen in years; is a grand

San Francisco is cert tainly fortunate in having

The racing in California this winter is equal
to any given at any racetrack in the country.
The class of horses competing is above the
average for winter sport. and the money they
run for larger than ever at this season of the
year. The tracks in this vicinity are equal to
any on the continent, being superb ones to

4 PARK FOR SACRAMENTO
Several Contracts Closed and
Capital Enlisted in This
CITY.
A Four.Lap Bicycle Track, Football
and Baseball Grounds to Be
Among tho Features.

II project contemplated by memb bers
of league established in this City, Stock
ton, Oakland and Sacramento should
be eventually realized the last-named
city will receive an additional qualifica-
ton for Its metropolitan status. The OBJ
ject of the league is to establish what NAV
be fifty called an athletic park at the capi-
tai, designed to be the largest and most
complete of its kind in Western America.
1t is understood that either Oak or East
Park will be selected as Its site, and with
this end in view, the promoters have se-
cured an option of purchase on both
places. They will be guided in their final
choice by the wishes of the majority, and
as yet no definite arrangement has been
concluded.
The scheme includes the construction
of a four-Iap bicycle track, composed of
IA inch boards placed edgewise, similar
to the Velodrome track, but two laps
larger and eight feet wider, a clubhouse of
twenty rooms, baseball and football
grounds 10 be laid in the ample space af-
forded inside the track and scenic rail-
way to cover the entire park.
The cost OF these attractive features
without the scenic railway will probab ably
be something like 5000. In addition to
the foregoing the athietlc grounds Will be
provided with handsome grand stand
capable of accommo odating comfortably
5000 persons. The clubrooms will also be
fitted up for the reception OF local and WIS.,
lting clubs, and every modern convenience
is TO be afforded in this connection.
Another innovation almost super1uous
in California will be an arrangement
whereby both the clubhouse and grand
stand can be inclosed during the winter.
so that the cool breezes of the north NAV
not visit the faces of the fair spectators
too roughly.
The city of Los Angeles was at one time
considered as the probable location of th e
park. but the league finally decided to
give Sacramento the preference, no doub t
on account of its proximity to the largest
centers of population.
w. n. Winans of Sacramento, who is
interesting capital IN the project, was in
the City few days ago closing various
contracts. He returned TO Sacramento on
the 7th inst. The most prominent business
men of that city are said to be connected
with this i'm portaEt undertaking, which
they are determined TO bring to success
full issue.
The Southern Pacific Railway Company
was notified by its travelling representativ e
few days ago that such a project was
being seriously discussed at the capital,
and shoald subsequent conditions warrant
il, the road will run excursions to Sac
ramento from all adjacent points during
the holidays.
