with gay ornaments and a headdress re-

plume or feather-shaped ornament, on each
side fully three feet long.

Running Record Lowered.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The usual large
Saturday crowd was present at Morris Park
to-day and good contests were in order.
The race of the day was the Municipal
handicap at a mile and three-quarters. Ben
Holiday not only won from good-class
horses in a gallop, but incidentally clipped
American record made by Hotspur with
III pounds up at San Francisco in 1881. The
other feature of the days racing was the
WeStcheSter handicap, run as the fourth
race. in. which Hastings took up 140 pounds
and won very easily. The second race
caused some disturbance, for Simms, on
backed, nearly threw Handpress over the
fence in the last furlong He then went in,
but could not beat Days Ortoland getting
second place head behind the winner. The
stewards however, disqualified him, giving
second place to HandpTeSS.

Responsibility and Sound Judg-

Where two persons are appointed execu-

arises a serious difference of opinion as to
the management of the estate, which is
followed by resignation and lawsuit, while.
in other cases, one Of the executors may
have TO respond in heavy damages. on a

lent acts of the other In a Trust Com

"THE TRAMP" REVIVED.
Many Little Points Pass Under His
Review.

1t has occurred to the Tramp" that
perhaps something could be done about
the watering place on the col ner of Sa.
lem avenue opposite the market house.
That places of the kind where people can
water their horses are necessary no one
can deny, but that it should be placed on
a street wherc,,vehicles and people walk.
ing aresspassing in and out.so constantly,
is Gertsinly not right. Aside from the
fact that the gutter crossing at that
point contains more or less water, one
wagon drawn up there directly across
the street while the horses drink. And
all this riuht ut our market. Could it not
be put somewhere else?
Speaking of distractions recalls the
fact that on Railroad avenue just west
of the Randolph street bridge some enter
prising persons have opened q kind of
produce exchange That is their busi-
ness and we haven't anything to do with
it, but we do alnios5 daily have to g"
around two wagons backed up against
the sidewalk at this place. These wagons
stand there with no horses attached and
the long poles and breast chains extend.
ing all the way across the street. Is this
altogether necessary?
And how about the horse show that
has beei. going on for the last few even
ings on Jefferson street between Salem
and Campbell avenues: Can they not
exhibit this blooded stock somewhere
else 1t does seem that the safety of peo-
pie passing along this thoroughfare
would at least be sufficient reason for
change in the horse market The morse
exchange on jefferson street opposite
the wood market ST ould he able to handle
this stock without Inconvenience TO the
public.
Jefferson street between Ninth and
Tenth avenues needs attention and needs
it badly. 1t is full of holes and ruts and
in rainy weather LOOKS almost as bail as
the approaches to the postofliilice. We
were Informed upon reliable authority
that seventeen four-horse loads OF hay
went OF t OF sight in the mud by the post
Office last week. 1t might have been Il
joke, but we nevertheless warntsthose in
that neighborhood that they had better
get their hay when the sun shines.
Honestly we believe there is II ore glass
and old wire and mashed up tin, barrel
hoops and ether litter on our streets than
in any other city the size of Roanoke in
the country. And how does it all get
there? Somebody must move these things
into the street and we wonder what pleas
ure it can be to go poking around for
stuff of that kind to put in other peoples
way. We have seen broken glass on
Jefferson street and on Campbell avenue
and have found wire hanging to us every
where. Peaceable, law abiding citizens
would like to be let ione.
