Large Number of Entries In

by Hudson Horsemen
THOSE IN THE CARRIAGES

The weather this morning promised a
magnificent display of horses and equi-
pages on the Boulevard this afternoon,
the occasion being the annual parade of
Hudson County Road Drivers Associa-
ton, and prospects were good for this
being one of the greatest days for the
horses and hofsemen in the6 history Of
the county.
The committee in charge announced
that an attempt would be made to sur
pass the display made last Saturday by
the New York Road Drivers on the
Speedway and that there was every pros
pect of that being done.
The hard work done by the committee
it is believed has insured the most sue
cessful reunion of any that has ever been
held in under the Associations AUSPICES.
Even those heretofore held have been
Gus among the horsemen of other cities.
The entry of road horses for today's par
ade is much larger than on former oc-
casions. There will be more than three
hundred turnouts in line. Every special
class has filed and competition for the
blue ribbon is stronger than ever.
Today's parade is over the southern
division of the Boulevard. Shortly after
noon the turnouts began filling up in the
side streets in the vicinity of Montgom-
cry street and the Boulevard, from
which point the parade started at two
o'clock for Bergen Point, where the judg-
ing was scheduled to be done from a
stand at the end of the Boulevard, near
Second street The awards will be made
by Capt. Housman, of the Staten Island
Road Drivers; A. II. Gael of the New
ark Road Drivers; and DR.. H. d. Gill,
Of the New York Road Drivers.
The County Association has as its spe-
cial guests Mayor Brady, Of Bayonne;
Mayor Lankering of Hoboken; county
Supervisor Frank McNally and Director
Frederick Rippe, of the Board of Free
holder. The Diectors and their guests
will banquet at Wheeler's Shore House,
where each lady will be presented with
handsome souvenir.
The appearance in the parade of many
out-of-town horses and horsemen who
were in competition for the special rib
bons was a subject of comment by those
who witnessed the start and added
greatly to the prominence of the event.
The parade was in five divisions,
George H. Donaldson, driving Stella W..
2.15A, was the grand marshal. The
first carriage contained Hon. Mark M.
Pagan, Mayor Of Jersey City; Hon.

At an adjourned regular meeting last

tion of the collection of taxes for the

issuing temporary loan bonds to be pay
able on demand with interest at rate
not to exceed four per cent. per annum,
payable in January and July of each
year. The amount thus raised is to be
used in paying current expenses.
-Four appropriations for improvements
asked for by the Fire Board would
doubtless have been made but for the
wording of the resolutions requesting
such appropriations. The Finance Board
is a stickler for technicalities The res
olutions requesting the appropriations
did not specifically state that the con-
ditions or exigencies were such that the
proposed improvements We're absolutely
necessary The Fire Board resolutions
We're referred back to that Board and the
appropriations asked for will in all like
lihood be made at the next meeting of
the City's Financiers, which will be held
next Wednesday afternoon.

by the Fire Commissioners were as fol-
lows
For 81 ,250 for an addition to the De-
partment Horse Hospital; $10,500 for a
new and modernly equipped building on
the site now occupied by Engine Com
pany, No. 3; for $1150 to erect an adj
dition to the Department Hose House,
and for $1,000 for alterations and repairs
to Engine House No. 12
Should these requests for appropria-
tions be granted at next Wednesday
afternoons meeting. temporary loan
bonds will be issued for each amount
cited, not to bear interest exceeding
four per cent. and sums to meet princiz
pal and interest are to be placed in the
next tax levy.
The awarding of the contract for the
building of the new City Hospital by
the old Board of City Hospital Trus-
tees, of which E. M. Watson is presi-
dent, to Herman Probst, was submitted
for concurrence, but was referred to
Committee of the Whole.
The Board did not take any action
on the Board of Education's recent reso-;
luton concerning its notification that
the Board of School Estimate had
deemed $35o,000 needed for the erection
of the new High School building This
matter was laid over until next Wednes-
day afternoon; likewise the notification
that 100000 were deemed necessary for
the purchase Of lands for school pur-
poses anu lne enlargement OF halI
dozen of the present schools. The Board
did order the purchase of the Edelstein
property as an addition to the new
High School site on the Harrison Estate.
Thirty thousand dollars were ordered
paid County Collector Stephen Egan on
account of county taxes.
Warrants were ordered drawn on the
City Treasurer in favor of that officer
to pay June interest, as follows
On general account, S17667.12; on
general account to pay interest on as
sessment bonds, $4,000; on water ac-
count. $3.50.
