Race Meeting for This Year Adam
doned by Directors.
Chicago June 22.-Three will be no
more horse racing at Washington park
this year, and report is in circulation
that the track will be abandoned. The
stand taken by the city authorities
prohibiting betting in any form at the
track is responsible for the curtail-
ment of the present meeting. With
the elimination of the bookmaker race
goers refused to patronize the track,
and during the last two days not
enough money was taken in at the
gates TO pay the employees of the track
10 say nothing of the purses for the
races, which amounted to an average
of 81 900 day The announcement of
the decision to close was made by Sec
rotary Howard. Among the stakes
left undecided are the Hyde Park
stakes, the Sheridan handicap and the
Wheeler handicap.

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS.
Republican National Convention
Makes Nominations and
Adjourns.

/ Chicago, June 23.-The thirteenth
national Republican convention has
completed its work and adjoured. The
first day was devoted to temporary or
ganization, the principal feature of in
terest being the speech Of Temporary
| Chairman Root.
Yesterday, because Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon was the central figure, the
proceedings of the convention took on
a picturesqueness and demonstrative-
ness which the previous day was look
ed for in vain. From the moment he
was escorted to the PLATFORM to WELD
the gavel as permanent chairman the
entire atmosphere of the convention
changed Enthusiasm which had lain
dormant burst forth and the appause
rang true and hearty. He made
speech and the audience cheered as he
spoke jocularly or in serious vein.
He was the entertainer in fact, he
was the convention.
From the standpoint of political i'm
portance, the adoption of the platform
was the event of the second day. 1t
contained declarations of party policy
that are to form the basis of much of
the oratory in the coming campaign.
But the permanent chairman's person
atty almost overshadowed the plat
form.
The second day of the convention
might have been it's close had it been
the desire of the assem- bled delegates.
Early in the day movement was in
augurated to proceed with the nomi-.
nations, but the original program,
which was prepared to extend over
three days, prevailed, and the stand
ard bearers for the 1904 Republican
campaign were not formally named
until today. The actual time occupied
in the nomination of the candidates
was very small indeed, for the name
of the nominee for first place on the
ticket has long been known, and the
candidate for second place was virtu-
ally named before the convention as
sembled, all the candidates save Sem
ator Fairbanks having withdrawn,
thus leaving the Indiana man free
field. Both nominationK were made
I amid great enthusiasm.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Case Against Petro Lafreto NoIled
By Prosecuting Attorney.

Mrs Dominic Nordone had her fell
low countryman Petro Lafreto up"
before Judge Peasley for theft of two
gold watch chains and a pair of ear
rings, which, according to the writ
We're worth $40, but according to the
complainant were worth $3.50, and nc
cording to her husband $3.50. Attor-
ney Bauby defended the accused. He
claimed that the interpreter did not
faithfully translate Mrs Nordone's
testimony. 1t was impossible to get
the interpreter to get a definite ans
wer from the woman, and when she
replied in a few words he would give
speech.
TASK her what is the value of the
watch chains,' he was asked.
And he answered $3.50 the whole
business" Several times the question
was put, but no other answer could
be got from him. 1t finally transpirad
that the interpreter was examining
the witness on his own account In
stead OF asking the questions of the
attorneys.
After a good deal of trouble and
time 1t came out that four men visit

from him an idea Of the value of the
alleged stolen property in bulk or in

were worth $3.50, but when asked the
value of them separately he said one

HORSE BITES HOLE
IN AN AUTO TIRE,

New York, July 7.-Professional Teal-
ousy crept into the heart Of a truck
gardeners patient old morse yesterday
AFTERNOON in front OF the Hotel I'm
~arlal and he bit piece out Of the tire
Of a $1,000 automobile. nearly getting
MS head blown off by the explosion of
compressed air which accompanied the
theft of the rubber tidbit.
Inc horse ran up Broadway, sprink-
ing enough carrots, beets and cab
bages in the street to have routed all
the actors off the boards, finally re-
turning, of his own volition, to see
Thomas Mulligan, owner of the auto
car, and some of Mulligan's friends
infinitely examining the toothmarks in
the tire
Inc horse was owned by J. w. Elem
ing, a farmer who sells vegetables to
several Broadway hotels 1t is neces-
sary to speak of the horse in the past
tense, because he is likely to die of In
digestion while this is going to press.
The animal had SOME words with
tie automobile and it is said the auto
mobile spoke rather CONTEMPORARY
At any rate, blows were exchanged
and then the horse resorted to mayhem.
Mr. Mulligan. who is q millionaire
ulSIllloT Oh 1nllaQelpnla, WITH an ONCE
at 4 Christopher street, had gone into
the Imperial with several friends.
When the horse bit the automobile
the sudden escape of air almost lifted
him off his feet. He was dazed, and
instead of taking another bite, decided
to show his mettle by challenging the
automobile to a sprint up Broadway.
With piece of rubber still between
his teeth, like football player. the ami
NAL ran madly up Broadway to Thirty
fourth street, then over to Fifth ave-
nue., up to Forty second street, across,
and back down Broadway.
He was followed by Bicycle Police
man Debbs and mounted roundsman,
but neither could keep pace with him.
The most remarkable thing about 1t
was that nobody except the automo-
bile was injured. The horse wasn't
angry at a soul ON Broadway
He slowed up and stopped in front OF
the Imperial right where he was De-
fore. Farmer Fleming wouldn't have
known anything about it but for the
vegetables that were scattered along
the route.
