Your work as deputy warden of this

that the future holds something grand

New York, May 6.-The biggest crowd
since PeSSara won in 1892 saw Clarence
H Mackay's Banaster win the Metro
pOlitan handicap at Morris park. In
fierce drive he beat Contestor a head.
while the 3-year-old All Green was
third. a length away. The time, 1:42 was
only fair.
The Metropolitan was the feature of
the opening days meeting of the West

until the first race was called crowds

Effort Made by Louisville Crowd
to Mob Starter.
Brown Allows st. Marcos to Get
Away Too Soon.
BOOKIES HIT HARD.
Tremendous Killing Made Over
Ben Mac Dhui's Race.
Owner Of Colt Said to Have
Cleared Up $4,000.

louisville, KY, May 6.-Saturday's
racing at Churchill downs was wit
messed by between 5000 and 1000 per-
sons. The decided feature Of the day
was the sensational demonstration
against Starter Curley Brown after the
start Of the fifth race. An effort was
made to mob him. st. Marcos, a hot
favorite at 3 to 8, was given several
lengths the best of the start and the
starter was loudly Kissed. st. Marcos
won easily by two lengths and at the
finish there was a rush to the judges
and a vocfferous clam or against allow
ing the race to stand. The services Of
several policemen were necessary to
quiet the dissatisfied betters. The Off
cial result was as the horses had I'm
ished.
The feature of the card was the
Bluegrass stakes, the fourth race OF the
card. This was at six and one-haf
furlongs for 3-year-olds that had not
Wen a sweepstakes or two races prior
to the closing of this race. Amur and
Sannazarro, the colts who ran in the
Derby, declined the issue, as did Spud
Caldwell. This left seven to face the
starter Ben MacDhui, the 3-year-old
son of Bend Or-Sierra Madra, the prop
erty of Frank Bruins & Co., was in
stalled favorite at to ? and he acted
as a vehicle for one of the biggest
killings of the meeting.
1t is said the colts owner bet $4,000
on him in the poolroOms throughout the
country Whether this is true or not,
the bOokmakers at the local track re-
ceived a solar plexus wallop when he
passed first under the wire, an easy
winner by two lengths. Hundreds,
nfties, twenties and tens poured in on
him until the bookies were tired, and
his price had been hammered down to
9 to 10 and inaa few books to 2.
St Marcos was another well played
good thing in the fifth race. In the last
race The Elector beat out the heavily
played odds-on favorite DR.. Riddle, the
latter being pinned almost against the
rail, where Cochran was unable to get
out of him his best efforts. Merry
maker and The Esmond were the other
good things that went wrong.
The feature of today's card will be the
Clark stakes, the second biggest race
of the meeting. 1t is not believed Alard

Wichita Is Threatened With a Build

Wichita. May 6.-Three hundred car
penters in this city have made a demand
upon contractors for a nine hour day at
$2.70, instead of a ten hour day at $3.50.
and if the demand is not complied with
a strike cannot be avoided.
The carpenters agree to work for the
old price on all jobs already contracted
for, as a means of protection to the con-
tractors who have taken work on q mar
row margin of profit, but will not work
for less than 80 cents an hour on any

that the contractors viii meet their de-

their claim to advance in wages IS not
inconsistent with the increase in cost of
living.
