AROUSES INTEREST
Track Event Sunday in Which Lead.
ing Local Talent Will
be Seen.

Great interest is evinced among the
sporting fraternity in the tri-city rae
ing matinee to occur next Sunday af-
ternoon at the Davenport mile track
The chief event is to be the tri-city
trot, in which the entries are Kan
l<ee and Jess. owned respectively by
Aid. Otto II. Birkel and Carl Mueller,
of this city, and Midnight a and
Chantwood, the crack horses of Bill
Kirk and NJ, Crotz, of Davenport. The
rivalry is intense, the winner to car
ry off a 800 purse made up by the
owners of the horses entered. The
other races to be run are 2:25 pace
and a 2:30 trot. Circuit horses will
be seen in these events. The racing
is announced to begin promptly at
o'clock
There will be over 200 horses face
the starter at the Davenport mile
track during the coming week.
Clerk of the Course w. H. Campbell
and Secretary l. l.. Sears have been
busily engaged since the entries clos
ed in getting the list in shape, placing
the horses in the proper classes and
getting everything in shape for one
of the greatest weeks of sport ever
known in Davenport. The task is no
light one, for the entries came in so
rapidly that it takes considerable
time to handle them. In view of
next weeks racing it is interesting
to note that Oscar Ames, who will
bring his string to Davenport from
the meeting at Joliet, took two races
at that meeting Wednesday. One
race was the 2:1 class trotting, won
by Brash, who won the same class
event here last year, and who is en-
tered in the p: 10 trotting this year.
The other race was the 2:27 class
trotting, won by Gentle Lady, the
best time being 2:16H.

KNOCKED OUT AGAIN
Tri-city Railway Meets With An
other Refusal From DaV.
export Council.
MAYOR BECKER DECIDES A TIE
Company Still Seeking Permission
to Use a Portion of Rock
Island Street.

The Davenport city council has de-
| livered another Knockout to the pc
tition of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany for the use of portion of Rock
Island street in that city for entrance
| tracks TO its car houses and car build
ing establishment. The city declines
to grant the request unless, as stated
heretofore, the company comedies six
tickets for a quarter and system of
transfers extending to this side of
the river for the benefit of the Dav-
enport patrons of the company. y
Davenport paper says of the pro-
ceedings:
''The question of the petition of the
ITri-City Railway company for the use
of Rock Island street as an avenue of
entrance to the car shops as remod
eled, according TO proposed plans,
bobbed up serenely at the council
meeting last night. Aid. Reese was
absent from the meeting of the COM
mittee of the whole by which this pc
tition was recently considered and
rejected. He pleaded this absence as
his excuse for asking for a reconsid
GRAFTON and he moved the petition of
the street railway company be grant
ed. Aid. Phillips seconded this mo-
tion. Mayor Becker ordered the roll
to be called. Aid. Hanley, in explain
ing his vote, said one of the reasons
for it was that he believed in treat
ing all persons alike. The petitions
| of one and all the interurban com
panies had been laid over at the meet
ing of the committee of the whole
Tuesday evening, and he could see
no reason why the request of the
Tri-City Railway company should be
granted at this time.
The roll call resulted as follows:
''Ayes-Klauer, Lindholm. Phillips
and Reese.
''Noes-Cameron, Hanley, Lunger
and Reginnitter.
| 1Cierll McGee rep6Etsd a tie vote
and Mayor Becker announced his vote
as being I'm the negative. He declar-
ed the petition to be not granted.
This was the same petition that.
the mayor opposed in the committee
of the whole. Ineetings. a week. or
more ago on the ground that the Tri-
City company refused to cOncede six
| tickets for n quarter. The vote ON
that occasion was three for the petit
| ton ana -FOUR against II.
| Can't Get Car Out.
Meanwhile the company is facing
the unhappy predicament of its
equipment department having con-
structed car of such proportions
| that it is impossible to get it out of
the ordinary doors of the establish
ment, and without permission to lay
tracks on the Rock Island street side
the company will be obliged to knock
a hole in the front of the building to
get the big coach into the outer
world.
But while all this is true, the COM
pany goes on building its cars in the
hemmed-in quarters, and there APP
pears below the surface no serious in
tention of changing the made in

tally designed conveyances.
