shaped like a horseshoe. and runs round
deep ravine, which effectually divides
the start from the finish A feature OF
the Goodwood races is that. being a
private course. there is none OF that

boothkeepers. itinerant minstrels and
tramps who constitute so marked a fea-
ture OF the Derby and of other race
meetings.
Goodwood has been in the possession
of the family OF the Duke of Richmond
since 1920 and the house stands on the
site Of an old Gothic building, and was
designed by Sir William Chambers. and

MARKET REGULATIONS
ARE PROVED FAULTY
Case of George Henauit Sent 10
Corporation Counsel.

The Police Department is much per-
turbed over the apparent tangle of af-
fairs relative to the occupation OF the
sidewalk surrounding the wholesale
market, B Street northwest, near Ninth
Street. 1t appears that five farmers
were arrested recently and tried before
Justice Bundy, in the Police Court. icr
with boxes, barrels. and other pack
ages. In four cases continuances were
allowed In one case, that OF George He
nault, conviction was obtained and per-
sonal bonds taken
Henault, however, acted as his own az
torney, and showed that the regulations
covering the subject were faulty. When
Judge Bundy, in imposing sentence, cr-
dered Henault TO take his boxes away
from the sidewalk at the close OF bust
ness hours, Henault replied that he
worked twenty four hours every day be-
ing awakened often at night TO make
sales.
Henault demanded that the court
state when business shall cease. but
Judge Bundy refused to assume that re-
sponsibility. and referred the prisoner TO
the Commissioners. Henault's perth
nent argument was IF you will tell me
what time 1 can start business and what
time 1 must close business. 1 will be
satisfied" and the Commissioners have
referred all the papers in the case to the
Corporation Counsel for an opinion.

Michael Burke. forty-five years old, of
45 Prospect Street northeast, has reason
to consider himself an unlucky man.
Early last night he was driving a cart
at the juncture Of New York and New
Jersey Avenues northwest, when II was
struck by a Berwyn. Md. car. The
vehicle was damaged considerably. the
harness broken, and Burke greatly an
gered at his mishap. He was expressing
his opinion of things in general, In
language more forcible than elegant,
when Sergeant Letter of the Second pre-
cinct. arrived on the scene.
BY this time Burke was unable TO use
fine judgment as to the objects OF his
wrath, and he proceeded to curse the
sergeant with the other surroundings.
The result was that he was arrested on
the charge of profanity.
At the stationhouse Burke deposited
IS collateral for his appearance IN Police
Court tomorrow. At this time he COM
planned OF pain in his chest, and was
placed Ia the patrol wagon and sent to
the Homeopathic Hospital, where Il was

Of the country and the lack of artillery
and mounted infantry
Gen. Sir Redvers Butler said he was
hampered by the refusal of the war
office to accept his plans and its failure
TO give him definite instructions and in
formation.
Lord Kitchener said the officers in
many cases were not qualified for their
work, and expressed the opinion that
the juniors were better than the
seniors. He praised the men, but said
the chief difficulty was the lack of
training of the reservists and volun-
teers.
