CHICAGO, June 2O-Thirteen horses are
entered to start In tomorTow's American
Derby and IL is likely that one OF two
others will be added to the list tomorrow
morning, making one Of the largest fields
ever seen in the race. The practical assur-
Gnce OF a heavy track may be responsible
for the starting of several horses whose
owners think they will have a chance in
this going which they would not have
under other conditions. Owners do not
have to make their hnal declarations until
lO:OS o'clock tomorrow morning, and 1t Is
possible that some surprises may be sprung
at the last moment.
The list as announced tonight. together

PoUGHKEEPsIE. y. Y, June 20.-one
hundred and eleven bravny young men. the
finest specimens Of physical development
that can be produced under the system OF
athletic training in vogue in American uni
versities, are today putting the finishing
touches to their preparations for the inter-
collegiate races that are to be rowed on
the P~ougbkeepsie course tomorrow after
noon. They comprise the fourteen crews OF
the six universities that have been en-
tered in the three races that make up the
days program.
Reports received from all the crew head
quarters today as to the condition Of the
various contestants and their readiness to
race show an average so high and at the
same time so equal as to force the conclu-
sion that the university race tomorrow
will show one Of the closest finishes ever
seen in these contests.
Although the sale OF tickets for the OBJ,
seryztlon train and other indications point
to the largest attendance tomorrow since
1897, comparatively few persons had arrived
today and the influx Of college men and
others will not be at its height until to-
night. Among those who are here, SUCH
betting as there is seems to favor Cornell,
the general opinion being based on the

Wisconsin's chances OF winning this year

Some complaint is made in cities regarding the man
ner in which State Boards OF Equalization are obliged
to distribute the values Of railroad property throughout
the various counties. not allowing cities with great ter
sess that property locally within the cities, but com
pening its value to be distributed along the lines Of the
road in accordance with a mileage basis.
The principal reason that this Is done IS the fact that
Il is the law; the Board Of Equalization is directed la
its action by that provision In the law relating 10 rev
enue, Sec. 30 Of the Statute. After providing for a
system OF returns 10 be made by the railroads OF Ne
braska each year, the following provision is plain and
explicit:
AS soon as practicable after the Auditor has re-
qured TO be set forth in said return. a meeting Of the
State Board Of Equalization, consisting of the Gov
ernoT, State Treasurer and Auditor. shall be held at
the office OF said Auditor, and the said board shall then
value and assess the property of said corporation al
VALUE OF EACH MILE TO BE DETERMINED by
Line
Now. does this manner Of distribution Of railroad
property injure the cities having these terminal factl-
ites?
In the first place, the terminal facilities would be Of
junction with the balance of their property. This dis
tributon OF property. in this manner is a general rule
adopted by most of the states In the Union. and. in "A
great many instances. suits have been inaugurated at
tempting to separate this valJe, and assess the same
within the localities where they are located, but courts
have universally decided that this would not be the
proper way OF making such an assessment. Exactly
such a caseAs this was made in the State Of Colorado,
taken to the supreme court and decided within the past
few years. The assessor Of Arapahoe County desired TO
assess the terminal facilities of the railroads conferred
uaton to the outside counties. The people Of the
State representing the outside counties took issue on the
