CHICAGO, May 22.-Census takers for
the School Board assigned to Lake Shore

Prairie and Michigan avenues ringing
doorbells and trying to locate minors.
Forty enumerators handed their res!g-
ma tions to Secretary Larson after they
had spent a day searching the race sui
eide" districts in the effort to find a
dinners worth of children. The census
takers are paid at the rate OF / cent a
name for all children located.
Every enumerator wanted to be as
signed to the Ghetto and forty of those
who were given fashionable precincts
gave up the work as bad and unpront-
able.
Fifteen enumerators who had been as.
signed to the fashionable wards an
nounced they had found permanent posi-
tions; half dozen found themselves sud
denly overcome by illness; one had to go
home and look after the baby and sew
eral were discharged for incompetency
At a late hour it was reported that
all of the enumerators who had been as

So were those who had been sent into

fight 1t is certain every seat Ia the
big pavilion will have been sold. That
would make the total exceed S3o, 600.
The hard work Of training Is over
for both the fighters and they will do
little from now on except a few easy
stunts to maintain their present con-
dition. There IS a refreshing absence
Of Dragging talk by both men. Mel

CHIMNEY INSPECTION WILL
COMMENCE THIS MORNING
Improvement In the Water Situation Re-
moves Bar to Building of In
doors Flres.

The Board OF Works and the underwrit-
ers arranged last night to send out the
chimney inspectors today. The force has
been increased to ITS men, all Of whom
are experienced masons or builders. They
were assigned to their respective districts
yesterday afternoon, and a captain was
selected to oversee the work Of inspectors
at each station. The water situation is
somewhat improved although the press
ure is far from normal in many sections
of the city
President Maestretti intends that there
shall be no delay in giving the indoors fire
permits where chimneys have been found
in good condition. Any one has the right
to install gas ranges and heaters without
securing permits. The inspectors will visit
only those places where the householders
wish to maintain coal or wood fires.
The Board of Works continues to be
deluged with applications for building per-
mits. Yesterday afternoon there were
about fifty applications for permits for
alterations or new one-story structures.

The officials Of the Pacific Coast
Trotting Horse Breeders Association
are proceeding with their arrangements
for the forthcoming season, feeling
sure the owners of trotters and PAGERS
will soon regain their desire for rec
reation.
Four stakes. to be decided in August
at the Woodland track, will close on
June Is. These are:
California stakes, $500, for trotters ell

Sunset stakes. $500, for r-all
trotters.
Golden Gate stakes, $500, for PAGERS ell
stble to the 2:0s class
Fulton @. Berry. In a communication
to the officials of the associati ton. states
the Fresno people are ready to perform
their part in regard to the proposed sum-
mer meeting in that city. Dates will be
taken and the meeting advertised as soon
as the Los Angeles association decides
what will be done there in regard to an
early meeting.
Inc horsemen see no reason why a
number OF harness meetings cannot be
given in this part Of the State this year.
The purses may not be as large as was
contemplated before the fire as some
horses that would have started may go
East and to Montana There will be
enough left to fill the purses and stakes.
1t has been suggested by men interested
in the development of the light harness
horse that they announce small meetings
without delay. All the horses that are
being prepared would be kept in training
and others would be taken up.
c. A. Durfee says the Los Angeles Har-
ness Horse hesco'stioo ctp~d- ro~a--
subs $4,000 for meetings to he held
there this year. he believes -. nc ...-
ings would be self-sustaining
The State Agricultural Society has re-
opened the stakes for two-year-old trot-
tsrs and two-year old PAGERS, $1,000 each,
to be given at the State Fair this year
They also announce the Stanford stakes
for foals of 1905 to be trotted at the State
Fair, 1905 entries to close June l. With
the Breeders Futurity stakes this will
give the two-year-olds chance to win
big money this year
The Breeder and Sportsman, the repre-
sentative journal of the light-harness
horse interests on this coast, is again be-
ing published after suffering severely by
fire. Editor D. L. nackett mourns the
loss of his invaluable reference library
which was destroyed.

FIGHTERS PROVE
DRAWING CARD
Nelson and Herrera Attract
Many Ring Enthusiasts,
$35, 900 House Is Expected on
Friday in Los Angeles.

UP with no. strings to It, ana with the
knowledge that the winner can ooIn-
mand his own figures hereafter. the
two men entered into the prepara-
tions for the contest with an earnest
ness which is sometimes lacking in
pugtlisric events
Those who had asserted when the
match was made that the Mexican
would not train and that yellow
streak was sure to show, only libeled
Herrera. He has done all that any
manager could ask and has had the
added Inspiration OF an offer OF an
engagement at $500 per week II he
wins. He therefore has everything to
win, and IL he loses he can work his
pies. Realizing this. he has seeming
ly made the effort Of his life to get
into the best, possible condition. He
declared that he desires no draw, but
wants this fight to settle the matter.
Nelson is looking more to the purse
than to any future engagement, and
this has been sufficient to impel him
to put forth his best efforts. There
has been q degree of reserve about
him and his trainers which is taken
to indicate ability to take care of
himself. He said the fight would not
60 the limit, intimatins that there
would be lively nixing-up- from the
first stroke OF the gong. In the next
breath he paid tribute to the Prov
ess Of his antagonist by admitting
that he expected as hard a fight as
he had ever had.
The betting Will favor Nelson and
he should be an 8 to 10 choice. At
those Figures thousands of dollars will
change hands on the fight. Jimmy
'Coffroth. Harry Corbett and others
iare expected from San Francisco.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. ri

NEW YORK, May 22.-Whimsical,
the handsome three-year-o filly by
Orlando, was disappointment in the
Carter handicap this spring, but she
made amends today by winning the
Preakness stakes at Gravesend track
She beat fast field of her own age
In gallop. The race was worth $3.50
to the winner. 1t was merely a romp
for Whimsical. She made her field
look cheap, scoring handily by six
lengths.
She bounded away from the barrier
at the start and quickly opened up a
gap on her opponents. She had so
much speed that Miller. her rideri.
was forced to keep i tight grip on the
reins to prevent her from racing away
from her field too far. She gailoped
along in the lead all the way Con-
tent was just as easily second Larabie
beat The Clown head for third place
Whimsical went to the post favorite.
Flip Flap had plenty of speed the
first half mile, but was interfered with
and became discouraged.
Plandy was willing to race at his
best today and he beat a lot of handi-
cap horses easily. This horse is hard
to train, he needs so much work to
get him fit. Jack Joyner, his trainer,
has been at him for nearly three
months to get him ready for the early
races, but despite his efforts the horse
was not really fit until today.
Blandy and Won Tromp made all
the running to the stretch where the
former drew clear and Won easily by
a length and a half. Bad News was
nearly knocked down twice, but
closed strongly at the end and fin
ished third, length behind Won
