to the people an amendment to the
constitution providing that the gen,
eral assembly may enact local or
special laws concerning the laying
out, opening, altering or working
roads or highways, and concerning
the providing for the age at which

be wise.

ORT WELLS BEST
THREE-YEAR-OLD
So Sheepshead Bay Sharps
Think
UNFORTUNATE ON SATURDAY
Covered More Actual Ground Than Irish
Lad and Lost by Few
Inches.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE horse own
ers aad trainers at Sheepshead Bay are
ali OF one opinion-that Ort Wells had
demonstrated clearly and positively in
the Advance Stake on Saturday that he is
not only the champion three-year-old. but
the best horse in training over distance
OF ground. All Of them agreed that he
was most unfortunate TO have lost the
first money by a few inches after he
had run such a good race and covered
more actual ground than the winner,
Irish Lad.
Ort Wells next public appearance will
be in the $4,000 Realization Stakes on
July D. This big sum of money IS prac-
tically al his mercy. as there is not
horse eligible for It that can take his
measure at any stage of the journey.
Should Be Record Maker
The $4,000 Brighton Handicap. the
richest handicap run under the jurisdic-
ton of the Jockey Club, will be decided
on July Q, and If the precedents OF the
last two years are followed viii result
in a record making performance.
With richer stakes and better course
than il ever had before Brighton should
appeal to horsemen and public more
strongly than at any previous stage OF
It's existence. The outlook for a grand
meeting is most promising. as ali the
great horses in training-lri5h Lad, Crt
Wells Hermis, Mcchesney, Eryn Mawr,
and the Picket-wiil be gathered on or
near this track to do battle for the
events 1t offers.
