His trial at Gravesend to-day was looked upon as sensational and he went to his stable apparently sound. but cooled out perceptibIy lame MT. Smathers himself was present and a veterinary called in at once. Every thing possible was done to relieve the trouble and although the Iameness is not considered serious by any means. 1t is peculiarly serious on the eve of such a race as the Brooklyn.
 If, said MT Smathers. there is any way within reason of getting the horse to the post on Thursday. I want him to be there. Ordinarily would not care for any particular stake, but in inc Brooklyn there seems to be such 2 chance that he will meet his fellows that I would most deeply regret his loss of opportunity to do SO"

While the bull was looking around,
standing triumphant over his aged
victim before completing his work the
boy came on the scene. All he saw for
a weapon was a stone, and, knowing
that he must take quick action, he
grasped this and taking aim, threw the
missile True to the mark, it struck
the bull square between the eyes. and
down ne went as if he had been struck
with a sledge.
The boy ran to Rice, unconscious,

which he succeeded in getting him.
The bull meanwhile recovered his
senses and dashed for the man and the
boy but was too late. Rice was in
jured internally but will recover.

COMMITTEE TAKES A
FIRM STAND AGAINST LICENS-
ING ILLEGAL RESORTS.
Movement to Close Out the Disreput-
able Joints Is Being Agitated in
Queen City.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 19.-The IL
cense and revenue committee of the
city council has started a systematic
crusade against saloons and restau-
rants in the business portions of this
city that are being conducted illegally,
and before many weeks it is expected
that themajority of the disreputable
places that are being constantly COM
planned of by the citizens of the city
will be cleaned out
Although License Inspector Marsh
says he is doing everything in his
power to effect Il cleanup of some of
the worst places, he has so much work
on hand that. although he is living the
strenuous life and working overtime it
is impossible for aim to keep track of
every supiciOus resort to the extent of
obtaining evidence to have it's license
hand, however, that as licenses come up
for renewal, he will be able to tell the
character of the place so clearly to the
city fathers that they well, is in the
case of the Maison Barberis, refuse to
renew the license.
A; the ;ast meeting of the committee
Counci.ma Burnett. VINO, with Bowen,
Daulton and Zbinden. has led the cru
So de against saloon and restaurant i'm
morality, placed himself on record as
being irrevocably opposed to any half
way measures of dealing with saloon
men who defy the law in this particu-
lar. Said he:
las renewal applications for license
of questionable resorts come before
this committee, l believe they should be
sifted to the bottom, to the end that the
town be cleaned up and the upper por-
ton of the city again become respect
able. In the Barberis matter the OBJ
lection mas been made that it is unfair
to shut down on one man when others
are openly violating the law. We
should have the public distictly under
stand that we are not making an eX-
ample of any one, and that we will
treat all alike and refuse to entertain
any questionable applications.
The Barberis restaurant was bad
enough, but there are dozens far worse
now operating, and we all know where
they are. AS their renewal applica-
cations come up they must be killed
without any hesitation. 1t is distinctly
up to u.s. as nobody else, save the H.
sence inspector appears able to dc
anything in the premises
The entire committee placed itself on
record as upholding such a step and its
action is expected to work a radical
improvement in the character Of many
notorious resorts.
