hard enough in the early heats Of their re-
spective races.

brought $500, Twinkle, s155; Locanda, S35.
and the field, 500 Before the start he
brought 5000 to $50 for the field. This play

KENSINGToN NEWS.
Meeting of Citizens Association Held
Monday Night.


KENSINGTON; Nd, September 3, 1902.
The Citizens Association held Its regular
September meeting in the Noyes Librar Y
Monday night. This was the first meeting
since the adjournment in June and an I'M
usually large number were present. After
the reports of numerous committees had
been read the meeting was addressed by
Mr.. Clay of TIley Clay. the promoters of
the Kensington Acetylene Gas Lighting
Company, who requested that the associa-
ton recommend to the town council that
their contract and franchise, which had ex-
PRED by time limitation, be renewed. Mr..
Clay explained that the reason the work
had not been started within the sixty days
as stipulated was because the parties to
whom the company looked for financial
support had asked for a ratification of the
contract with the town. to which they
wished to add that in case the town at any
future date wished to purchase the plant
$4,000 was to be the minimum price
-. Debate was then opened as to the advfsa-
bility of recommending the extension of
time. Many advised treating with the Capt.
tai Traction Company to get its price to
supply electric power from the plant at
Chevy Chase lake. and accordingly a COM
mittee was appointed to look into the mat
ter. The committee consists of Messrs-
Cornwell, Martin ard Buck.
IHe cnalr requested tnat Mayor EcknarQt,
who was present. make statement regard
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of renewing Messrs.
lilly & Clay's contract. Mr.. Eckhardt said
that at the present time over ninety oil
lamps were ii use and being maintained
including oil, lighting. cleaning, etc. at a
cost of about $500 ner annum; that the
acetyline people purposed to displace them
with fifty of their lamps at a cost of 500
per annum: that while that number would
furnish excellent light to the most thickly
settled part of the town, about twenty-five
of the present oil lamps would have to be
maintained on the more sparsely settled
streets, which would make the item of
street lighting cost the town considerably
over $500. He stated that the present as
sessment would not warrant an expenditure
of a larger sum than was being employed
at the present time, and he felt sure the
people would not agree to an Increased as
sessment to install acetyline.
Mr.. B. H Warner. who was the next
speaker, stated that the mayors views
were, in his judgment correct; that he had
always been in favor of acetyline for the
streets, but as the subject was presented
by the mayor it became a matter of dollars
and cents, and while he regretted to give

RACING TRUST STORY DENIED.
Gates and Drake Emphatically Contra
dict Tale From the West,

John w. Gates and John A. Drake denied
in most emphatic terms yesterday in New
York the story from Chicago to the effect
that they were interested in the formation
of a racing rust, the object of which was to
build and control circuit of race courses
extending from New York to San Francisco.
Mr.. Gates sailed for Europe on the Ma,
jestic yesterday, and reporter saw him at
the pier.
THE whole story is a lie,' he exclaimed.
DO you know Glen Creveling and Henry
Harris, who say they're your ST. Louis
agents?'
Il tell you the whole story is faIse."
John A Drake was at Sheepshead Bay
busily collecting forfeits from his beaten
rivals in the Futurity, when asked his side
Of the story. He laughed aloud and said:
It's all rot. L never read such nonsense
in my life before. Why. I have not even
DR. eamed Of such a scheme.
LAS for the match race, that is out of
the question. Savable has not been in fit
condition to race since the Futurity For
two days after his race he was SO sore and
lame that he could scarcely put his foot to
the ground. He has just resumed taking
exercise. There will not be any match
race with Savabe in It,"

The Second Game.

The lad from Delaware, one Jack Town
send, was on the rubber for the Senators in
the second game and this time the ex-
Quaker had perfect control and of course
was effective. Jack gave four bases on
balls, but as long as he keeps under a dozen
he is all right. But six hits were secured
by St. Louis. He!drick soaking the leather
for triple and a single, the others being
content with singles. Lew Drill began
catching Townsend, but fast inshoot took
all the stiffness out OF the ex-Georgetown
lads index finger and he had to retire,
Clarke taking his place. Townsend had
world OF speed. as usual. and a majority
Of the Browns were pulling away from the
plate like regular amateurs.
Both teams fielded beautifully many fast
and accurate plays being pulled off by both
sides, a tumble Of hard hit grounder by
Doyle being the only misplay of the game
Neither side scored in the first two In
nings. but in the third 1t looked as though
the Browns had located Townsend and
would bat him out of the box. Burkett Sc
cured base on balls, but Hemphill gave
Lee long fly. Heidrick did better, his long
fly sailing over Lees head for a triple.
Burkett scoring Lee handled the bali well
and saved home run. Anderson sent Lee
another fly and this time the Senator held
the bail, but Heidrick scored on the out.
Wallace closed the inning by going out
short to first
This ended the run-getting Of the Browns,
Townsend working like a thoroughbred for
the remaining six innings. All sorts OF tao
tics were resorted to by the Browns to rat
TIE Townsend Burkett in particular shout
Ing from the coaching box at every oppor-
tunity, but Jack knew he had control, and
when he Is going well there Is nothing to
rune him. The Browns tried to bunt sew
eral times. but Townsend's speed was hard
10 gauge, and as result, the ball was gen.
orally carried too far and an easy out re-
suited.
Sudnon did the twfrifng for St. Louis and
also pitched well. except the one bad innins
tnat cost him the game. "DePs" hit proved
his undoing In the sixth, and It was the

shoe trade of Cuba. while under United
states control, as shown by the last COM
mercial summary of the island for MAY,

amount of 9,5f5.09S pairs valued at s6sI2,
eif, the importations coming chiefly from
spain and this country in the ratio os az
per cent for the former against 90 per cent
for the latter, though a comparison by
years discloses the fact that under an
equitable adjustment of the tariff rate on
merchandise Of this class in effect prior
to United States Intervention American
manufacturers of boots and shoes have
largely increased their trade with Cuba
In connection with this statement .he fact
is mentioned that during each month of
the three calendar years, 1890, 1900 and
1901. the total importafions of boots and
shoes into the island were $3.50 CPL $685. CAB
and S46I,17S, respectively. considerably in
excess of the shipments from our customs

the united kingdom), the expectations
from the United States for this trade being

show great increase for the sum
mer of 1902 Good times and the ex-
tremely low rates announced by the

cedented number of tourists who de.
sire to miss the summers heat of the

pected that trips through Yellowstone
