A Couple OF vexed Questions.

Anent the annual threadbare argu-
m"nts of methods of shortening races.
i seems that we get little that is new.
ami from the long dissertations which
"" get IN some turf journals one
would think that space rates" We're
heurinG largely. If my humble opinion
could possibly he regarded Az Of atry
value whatever, ! would say that Mr.
Hark Comstock had given us the onlv
plan feasible for such purpose. The
Gentleman's ideas are apt 10 be ori ..i-
nal ones. and are not borrowed from
others. neither i he inclined 10 get On
the wrong side of a question.
II ! were only arguing FOR the hors q
would say. give us the two in three
system by all means. hut cold hard
judgment tells us there are other ,.ie-
monts. Split heat races give the spor.-
Inc fraternity great chance: races
which might be finished in three heats
or possibly four. are prolonged to five.
six. seven ana an even greater number
Of heats. just for the opportunities Of
money making. The people pay thet~
money to see racing. They ask for
good racing. and the money they pay
makes II possible to hold races on
most If our tracks and il there's any
thing will enthuse crowd it's a split
heat race whore The fighting is fierce
all along the line. Still at the rate of
speed horses are going nowadays six to
ten heats are too many for a horse
which has an engagement for every
week. The rules need notification
and as | understand it. Hark Com
stocks idea is but modification IF
the rule that any horse which has
not won heat in five goes to the
stable" If he has any money won
that amount is awarded him. Hark
comstock's method is virtually, horse
not winning a heat in three will % 20
the stable. This will do away with
much of the loafing in races which is
possible under the present rules.
call ii a good suggestion and hope to
see horsemen expressing their views in
the matter.

EATONTON CASE POSTPONED.
Col LnwtOn's Services Are Needed at
Darien ut Present.


Atlanta. Aug. 2S.-The case of the state
of Georgia against the Central Railroad
was postponed until Sept Il, on account
of the enforced absence of Col. A. n.
Lawton. the leading counsel for the road.
President Conner called upon the Gov
ernor and requested that Col Lawton be
relieved of the service in Mcintosh coun-
", so that he could represent the road IN
the hearing. The Governor told Prest-
dent Conner that he could not dispense
with the services of Col. Lawton at the
critical juncture Of affairs in Mcintosh
but that he would have the case poet-
poned upon the states account ASSUMING
the responsibility himself and relieving thu
road of any onus for the delay. judge
Hart granted the postponement upon the
showing made and set the date above
named for the hearing.
Inc suit Is one of more than ordinary
interest. The citizens Of Eatonton and
Milledgeville claim that since the Central
mas rented the Eatonton branch or VIVA,
Is now known as che Middle Georgia ana
Atlantic, that EatontOn has been bottle
up, and that both towns have been dis
eliminated against In the matter of frelght
rates.
The Central In its answer sets IN a
strong defense by affdavits from mer-
i""'7 uOlHs business In EatOntOn, that
instead OF maintaining a monopoly as
charged the road is giving the people of
baldwin and Putnam counties a better
service. and also better freight rates. The
outcome of the fight is being watched with

TWO SENSATIONAL SUITS.
The Pekors of Columbus Badly Mixed
in Litfgation

III
Columbus Aug. 1.-Two rather SEN
sational suits were filed to-day in the Su-
perior Court, as a result of which the jew
elry store of c. F. Pekor was closed by
the sheriff late this afternoon. One suit
was that of John c. Court trustee of V. j.
Pekor, bankrupt VS.. c. F. Pekor, action
on bail in trover, in which it is alleged
that the stock owned by c. +. Pekor is not
his at all, but belongs to the trustees of
V. J. Pekor, bankrupt. The value of the
stock is 5000, and if c. f. Pekor gives
$4,000 bond, which he says he will do to-
morrow, the store will be re-opened
The other suit is that of John C. Court,
trustee of V. ]. Pekor, bankrupt VS.
Frank Pekor, and the National Bank of
columbus, application for injunction. In
this it is claimed that V. J. Pekor depos-
tied at the National Bank of Columbus.
$4,000 or other large sums, in the name of
his father Frank Pekor. 1t is charged
that V. j. Pekor did this to defraud his
creditors out of the money. The court ia
asked to enjoin the bank from paying this
money out.
