SCHEDULE OF PROJECTIONS.
Discrepancy Pointed Out by Mr.. John
ID. Brady. District Inspector.

Mr.. John B. Brady, the inspector of build
fngs, has invited the attention of the Dis
{. trtCt Commissioners to a discrepancy in the
schedule of projections. In compliance with
recent orders, states Mr.. Brady, covered
porches are to be counted IN the width of
projections beyond the building lines The
discrepancy alluded TO by him excerpts
porches from limitation In width. and for
the benefit of architects and others en-
gagged in the preparation OF pans he has
requested that the schedule be amended 10
comply with the orders referred to- :,,lg-
costing the making of the following order:
Ordered, That the schedule of limitatio
and provisions relative to the projections of

sioners concurrence under act of March 3
1891, is hereby amended as fellows: In the
marginal note, under the width of proiac-
lions, insert after the word 'porchss' he

those who are most deeply concerned in
the welfare Of the English turf regard the
presence of 80 many capable American
riders as one Of the best things that ever
happened to racing In this country"
After arguing that the presence Of Amer
lean jockeye-"not less honest Ian our
own, If truth, and the whole truth, were to
be laid bare''-has reformed the system by
which the English turf was in the hands Of
the jockeys, the article says:
Lord Durham spoke only for himself.
Why should the American jockeys be Landi-
capped? 1t is the English trainers own
fault for treating apprentices stable
drudges, instead of training them as
Jockeys; and the sooner we can assimilate
some of the transatlantic methods the
sooner We shall share in the success of the
Americans.
Lord Durham's charge of INSCRIPTIONS
riding was a very astonishing statement for
a prominent member Of the Jockey Club to
make. People have long been asking what

and it would afford relief If Lord Durhams
remarks implied an intention to take vigor-

AMERICAN JOCKEY QUESTION.
Views of Lord Durham Not Sustained
In England.

IN England.
The London Field, in the course OF an
article commenting upon the recent meet
ing OF the Jockey Club, at which Lord Dur
ham made his attack upon American train
ers and Jockeys, says:
There is clearly need of changes in the
racing rules to meet developments that are
constantly being made. Many of the lat
ter, 1t must be confessed, are due to the
stress of American competition"
After predicting stirring times in connec-
ton with such changes, the article refers
TO Lord Durhams speech.
1T is q curious fact with regard to opin-
ions upon the Americans among u.s." says
the writer. that few persons seem capable
of striking happy medium. Either they
are adulatory in their approval or severe in
their dissent We are far from approving
everything that is done by the Americans,
who, with their new methods, call for some
watching, lest the bounds of legitima tie
practice be overstepped; but we know

Ex-senator Charlie Atherton the third
baseman of the Buffalo club, who left ...e
team in September to accept a position as
chemist at Cripple Creek, Col, has been
obliged to give up the work because he
could not stand the high altitude. 1t Is
probable that he will take to base ball
again next season. The Buffalo club still
retains a hold on him.
Dahlen's fielding at short will probably
only be surpassed by George Davis be-
cause the latter played in fewer games.
Dahlen played great ball. better than ever
before in his career, barring perhaps last
season. He made himself noticeable at the
bat and on the bases as well.
The Brooklyn base ball team was for

bail championship of the world at Pitts

The Tigers Are Not Afraid.

The Tiger coachers are looking toward the
Lafayette game with greater confidence to-
day, but the erratic playing of their pro-
teges is puzzling to them. One day the
eleven plays with perfect interference and
stonewall defense, and on the next day
they tumble and stumb e, and can't stop the
poorest halt-back of the scrub squad. They
expect that the Tigers will have good
streak today
Princeton students also have great conf
dence.in their team, as no bets at 3 to 2, or
even to l are going begging, Princeton
taking the long end.
Down at the club house last night the
coaches and Captain Pell discussed the
prospects OF the Tigers. Coach Ballet said
in an interview after the discussion the
coaches expect Lafayette to give the Tigers
a hard game but that the Princeton coach
eS believe the chances are, of course, in
PrincetOnS favor. He said the OnIy diff
Guilty they expect Is due to the fact that
the guards back formation is almost new to
the Tigers and that they are not apt to
meet il as they would any other offensive
formation. He added that the coaches have
tried hard to perfect the Tigers defense
against it, and that their defeating SYRIA
cuse, State and Baltimore Medical all of
whom play guards back or some modifica-
ton of it, is encouraging. Ballet closed the
interview by adding:
I'VE are not afraid of anything Lafayette
may have"
The eleven had a short, fast signal drill
yesterday afternoon. Reiter, the clever
half-back plays his first game today. He
plays in McCiaVe's Old place. Otherwise
the team will be made up the same as last
Wednesday.

that the offensive strength of the team

This change would leave Gilmore and j.
