Hogan Wins.

After a long and tedious trial the
jury in the case of Hogan VS.. the
Canadian Australian s. S. Co., rend.
cred last evening a verdict in favor
Of the plaintiff and assessed the
damages at S2250 The verdict in
favor OF the plaintiff was unanimous;
az far as the amount OF damages
three jurors dissented. The case

and his troupe to Vancouver. There
are % cases of a similar nature
pending aud each OF them may be
tried if compromise is not effected.
Judge Robertson who appeared for
the Steamship Co., took exceptions

Kinney, BalIou and McClanah ahan are

CAS- far as we understand the race
our correspondent refers to it is real.
ly an event which mas nothing to do
with the Jockey Club aud which
should not be on the program. If
the gentlemen who have made their
entries desire to test their horses
aud exhibit their skill as drivers let
them do 80 by all means hut not as
Gloss corporation. II they cannot
or dara not enter into the events on
the regular program 1T them ar
range a private match race, pay the
regular fee for the use of the track
aud apeed their horses whenever
they can get permission to use the
track. We have no doubt that the
Jud Les aud officers Of the Club will
allow match race to take place on
the 1lth, say during an intermis-
sion, but it has no place on the Of
fici program especially when it is
marked 'entries closed."
Colone Cornwell said this morn
ing that be considered the propo
sition absolutely wrong and that no
match race should be allowed under
the direct auspices of the Club. He
hoped ther- would be gentleman's
race, it means q race in which horses
not specially trained can be entered
and in which the drivers and owners
must ba members OF the Jockey
Club. He hoped the matter would
be- arranged satisfactorily and that
the race as it is now announced
would simply be sideshow or that
number placed on the program
giving all members of the Club a
chance to enter in a gentlemen's
race.

horses but why should not other gen.

not to be any discrimination in con.

attempts to form social cliques

We don't know whether Mr.. E P.

The community should be told why
a man sentenced TO Imprisonment
