GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTs.
Lord Derby Defeated the Monk in
Three Fast Heats,

The racing was decidedly exciting at the
Empire City track near New York yester-
day. The weather was perfect, the track
fast and speculation brisk
In the special race between Lord Derby,
2.05&, and The Monk, with the same record,
the former was the choice at 100 to so. The
Monk had the pole, and G. K. G. Billings
lost no time in sending him to the front.
He led by two lengths up to the top of the
stretch, when Smathers sent Lord Derby
for one of those electric finishes for which
he has become famous. He was just lit
tie too late, however, and, though The
Monk was firing, he just managed to win
by nose. The finish brought the occupants
Of the grandstand to their feet, and both
horses were loudly cheered as they returned
to the judges stand.
The betting was now 100 to Is on Lord
Derby. The Monk again led to within fifty
yards Of the wire, when Lord Derby in
superb drive, won by neck. Pools now
sold at so to 20 on Lord Derby, and the
pair got a perfect start, going like team
to the backstretch, where The Monk broke
and Lord Derby came on and won by five
lengths. This is the fastest race of three
heats to wagon ever trotted. the time in the
second and third heats being 2.O6 and in the
first heat 2.O61h.
In the 200 pace, mile heats, two in three.
Don Riley sold favorite at 100 to 60 for
the field. Lou Vaughn had the pole but
soon lost It to the roam gelding Albert, who
lead all the way to the wire, though the
favorite made a determined rush In the
stretch and was defeated by a length. AL
bert was now the choice at 2 to 1, and he
led to the half, with Eff1e Powers on his
wheel and Don Riley Tapped. In the stretch
Don Riley came with grand burst Of
speed and won by half length. Home Cir
Gle getting the place by a head from Efie
Powers. In the third heat it was to / on
Don Riley. Eme Powers led to the distance,
when the favorite, in a most exciting finish,
won on the wire by a neck.
There was big surprise in the 216 trot,
for which Prince Selma was sold at even
money against the field. Invader had the
pole, and led OF with such spirit that he
was never headed. Prince Selma was a
good second to the three-quarter pole,
when he broke and fell back to last. In
vader was now the choice, and won by half
a length in a most exciting finish from
Prince Selma. Scott Hudson then request
ed the judges to allow Geers to drive Prince
Selma. The change did no good, for the
horse broke in the backstretch and ran all
the way home. Invader won the heat.
Prince Selma being distanced for running.
For the 2.19 pace Miss Wilamont was the
favorite and won in straight heats, well in
hand.

some objection on the part Of the aldermen
present to binding themselves, and in the
discussion that followed the eight-hour law
was brought up again and again by Mr..
Cantor. who seemed to have abandoned the
prevailing rate Of wages clause.
Mr.. Green said that he could not agree to
even the eight-hour clause He said there
would be more than twice as much work
done on the rest of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn as on the TUNNEL during the time the
latter was in process of construction. and
that laborers might demand the same con-
ditions throughout the system.
Mr.. Green offered the following substi-
tute resolution:
Whereas it is evident after long and
careful consideration that no other or fur
Their changes can be made in the terms of
the Pennsylvania franchise without i'm
periling the enterprise;
Resolved, That this joint conference re-
port and recommend to the respective
boards the franchise as now amended"
Mr.. Cantor refused to vote on the ques-
ton. He said he felt that with the eight
hour clause the franchise would certainly
go through. but that without 1t he thought
that there was danger
All the other members Of the conference
voted for the resolution. and 1t was de-
clared adopted. The conference then adj
tourned. Action is yet to be taken by the
board Of aldermen.

Russian Government Issues Warning
to Americans and Japanese.

LONDON, September 1S.-In a dispatch
from Odessa, the correspondent of the
Standard says the Russian minister of agri-
culture and state domains, NJ. Yermoloff,
has announced that he has now taken effec-
tive measures for the suppression of the
systematic poaching operations of Ameri-
cans and Japanese among the seal and
other sea animals on the northeastern coast
of Siberia.
Although anxious to comply with the reit-
Grated representations of Russia, the Wash
ington and Tokyo governments have failed
to put an end to this Illicit fishing in Rus
sian waters. M. Yermoloff, continues the
correspondent, now gives formal notice that
American and Japanese poachers captured
within the limits of Russia's maritime jul
risdiction on the Siberian coast will be liza
Bile to three months Imprisonment and their
ships and cargoes to confiscation.
This order will be enforced by three fast
gunboats. No discrimination will be made
the commanders and crews of poaching YES
sells will be subjected to the same punish
ment. In case of refusal to surrender or at
tempt to escape, the commanders of the
Russian gunboats are empowered to fire
upon and sink the "seal pirates"

ARMoR FOR CYCLE MEN.
Foot Ball Headdress to Be Worn In
Motor Race,

J. Frank Starbuck, who met with an ac-
cident August 7, 1900, at the Coliseum, will
referee the race between George Leander
and little Joe Nelson tomorrow night at the
Coliseum, Baltimore. Starbuck has never
seen the Coliseum track since his last
glimpse of it before the accident which
nearly cost him his leg. He swore that he
would never see it again, but the features
Of the race Friday night appealed to him,
and yesterday he agreed to referee the con-
test.
When r. G. Bennett appears on the track
to pace Joe Nelson against George Leander
he will be arrayed in a regulation foot ball
headdress of heavy and thick sole leather,
covering all Of his head but the face and
ears, and extending down over the fore
head Manager Spooner will take no more
chances of fractured skulls with his motor
men, but will hereafter array them to with
stand the blows of falls by rigging them out
in foot ball clothes Of the most approved
pattern.
Ultimately this will be the solution Of
the paced problem" said Mr.. Spooner yes
terday. "Motormen and pace followers will
protect their bodies in every way possible,
and then let it go for the mile in one min
ute, which is not as far off as many think.
Little Nelson believes that a successful
rider next year will have to go right along
at LIS, or forty-eight miles to the hour.
Michael lately rode fortysix miles in the
hour, and Nelson has Travelled that fast
several times this year. Motormen and
pace followers will have to be protected, and
l believe that the public will come to ap-
preciate any efforts made to this end
