WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Washington
Jockey Club this afternoon threw open its gates
for the annual fall meeting. The weather was
clear, but a trife too cool to DO pleasant, and
this, no doubt, had something to do with the
attendance. Among those present were the
Corean Minister and his wife and a number Of
Indians, who enjoyed the racing very much. A
good card had been arranged, and those who
made tho trip to the grounds saw some excel

GREEKS IN THE FLOWER TRADE.
They Are Not Confined to the Sidewalk Nowa-
days. but Are Opening Shops.

days. but Arc Opening Shops.
The Crock flower peddlers in the streets have
long been amiliar figures. and this branch Of
the flower business is almost entirely in their
control. There are some Italians in the business
and a few Germans. but the men who sell flowers
on the streets in the shopping districts are
nearly all Greeks.
In the table d'hote establishments In the
neighborhood Of Twenty-third street the flower
sellers are a regular feature Of the dinner
hour. There are two German girls, no longer
in the first bloom of their youth, but
now stout and comfortable, who are among
these flower sellers. but the majority of the ped
oilers in the restaurants are very young Italian
boys. Their presence in this district Is as much
owing to the fact that the wholesale flower
shops are there as to the table d h6te places. AT
the shops which are overstocked there Is an
evening sale OF the flowers that. are not fresh
These are sold at low prices to the peddlers,
who send them by the boys TO the restaurants.
But the trade OF the Greek florist is no longer
confined to the sidewalks. Already he has be-
gun to make his way more ambitiousiy. On the
upper west side there are three or four large
shops which are Enthusiastically the property Of
Greeks. One man, who has for several years
had a little shop by the Grand Central Station,
prints his name in Greek letters. His place is
modest compared to the uptown shops. These
support handsome delivery wagons and all the
other costly incidentals now to the frst-class
florists shop.

LAWYER HAS BANKER ARRESTED.
MIR. Meyer says He's Afraid walker WILL DO
Him Bodiiy Harm.

Frank B. Walker of the real estate and bank
ing firm of Petty. Soulard e. Walker of l56
Broadway, was arraigned in Centre Street
Court yesterday on the complaint of Max
Meyer of 100 Broadway, who accused Walker
of having threatened his life and asked Magis.
trate Mott to put him under bonds to keep the
peace. Meyer said that his firm had been re-
tanned by Mrs. Walker. the divorced wife Of
the prisoner, to collect her alimony. Walker
not only refused to pay, but had assaulted both
him and his clerks. and on Oct. % had threat
ened TO kill him. He said that on one occa-
sion Justice Gaypor had fined Walker SO for
contempt Of court in not paying the ulimOny.
Walker denied having assaulted or threat
ened Meyer, but admitted having once pushed
Meyer out of his office when Meyer insulted
him. He said his wife secured her divorce
from him nine years ago. He had not con-
tested tho suit on her promise not to collect
alimony.
"until three years ago, when / married again.
Then she went to Philip d Meyer. and merely
to prosecute me-. told them they should col.
iect alimony against me and that they could
keep all they got. When her mother told me
Of this, i naturally refused To pay any more,
and that Is what has caused ell the trouble. :"
Magistrate Mott adjourned the case until
Tuesday, when a decision will be given.

posed to put it on should give their
consent. The road wouldn't pay, but
he thought Il time was coming when
one would.
DR.. Farr saw that matters were
drifting along rather aimlessly and SO
threw out the suggestion that meet
ing be held after the council makes its
amendments to the franchise ordinance
now pending and then discuss the
matter from the standpoint of those
amendments.
President Cavanagh tried TO get the
meeting back to the original propo-
sition: Is the road a good thing for the
city? He said that was what the coun-
Gil would like to know about
In effect Mr.. Van Ingen said it was
not.
F. c. Culley when called upon said
he didn't think the road would hurt
the town.
Justice Slater stated that the road
was putting down the same kind of
rails and switches as the steam railway
had and that the road would render
any street impossible. A passenger
road would not pay. The only way to
make it pay would be to carry freight.
The company should first show how
the road can be made to pay before the
franchise is granted and then the
property owners should give consent to
its running past their property.
Johnson Jackson agreed with Slater
and ODonnelI.
G. c. Brown said we needed freight
line.
Joseph Bendt stated that he didn't
see much benefit in it.
Nathan Allen then said that the
trouble with the people seemed to be
that every street in town was the best
to the man living on it and everybody
seems willing to put the road in front
of everybody's else property.
John O'Donnell then moved that Dr.
Farrs suggestion that the meeting be
held after the franchise ordinance had
been amended by the council be adopted
and that the meeting adjourn for one
week at the same place. The motion

the Songs of Patriotism, on March 23
Col. Nicholas Smith, widely and IA
vorably known in Wisconsin as Jour
nalist, lecturer and veteran of the civil
war, will deliver his popular lecture on
" The Wonderful Story of the Songs Of
Patriotism at the opera house on
Tuesday evening, March 23 The lee
ture is both interesting and instructive
IN high degree. The Colonel gives a
vivid history and description of the
great national songs that have moved
the world, and he deals with our ma
tional songs in a way that one only can
do who has felt their inspiration on the
field of battle. Miss Lily Runals and
other singers of wide reputation will
favor the audience with patriotic songs
and the exercises will close with flag
drill by children Of the public school.
The entertainment will be of patri-
otic character throughout and it is
hoped that all present, old and young
alike, may be thrilled with a patriotic
fervor that will make a lasting impress
sion.
The entertainment is one of a course
given under the direction of the public
school teachers and board, the net
proceeds from which, if any, are to be
used for the benefit of the school
library.
The standing of the lecturer, the
theme and the cause are such as should
insure large and representative audi
ence.
The cooperation and patronage of
the G.. A. r. post, the Woman's Relief
corps, the Sons and Daughters of the
Revolution and ali patriotic societies
and persons are earnestly solicited.

Word was received here today that
Mrs. F. Fl. Roper, well known to Ke
noshans as Mrs. Nathan Hawley, had
sustained the fracture of leg by a
recent fall in Abilene, Kan. The fol-
lowing from the Daily Reflector, of that
city, will be of interest to many friends:
!" Mrs. T. FL. Roper fell yesterday
afternoon suffering serious results
therefrom. The ligaments of the right
knee we're broken and it was necessary
to put the limb in a plaster jacket.
She was unconscious for time after
the accident, but is improving.
