side workings that go to make a pennant-
| winning team possible. Defects in the play

arms and running gear of the men. and
should the weather be Indictment the team

enjoyed last season had a spell of bad
weather come along.

The kings plate of 1906 to be run at To-
ronto on Saturday, May 10, will have
monetary value of $500. in addition to the
sentimental pride In it felt by the fortunate
owner of the winner. The kings plate is
claimed to be the oldest turf event on the
continent. 1t is a constant source of
spertsnanlike ambition on the part of the
most prominent Canadian turfmen. Messrs
Hendrie. Seagram, Dyment and Davies, to
win this race.
The Hot Springs Jockey Club, owner of
Essex Park, has asked the American Turf
Association to release it from dates as
signed for the spring meeting. The request
was made in the form of a written commit
nicatIon and recites the obstacles that have
been thrown in the way of the club to pre-
vent the meeting. 1t alleges unfair treat
ment and a violation of agreement on the
part of the Oaklawn Jockey Club, which is
affiliated with the Western Jockey Club
and states that under existing conditions it
would be impossible for two meetings to
be held in that city.

rhievery Along River Front.

Thieves are reported to have been reaping
a harvest along the river front during the
past winter by snea5ing aboard vessels that
have been laid up without any one aboard
them and taking anything OF value they
could find. While the articles taken would
net the thieves but small sum when sold
as old metal. It will cost the owners of the
vessels considerable sum to replace them.
Much of the tliieving Is said to be done at
night by parties who use small boats and
row about the harbor under cover of dark
ness, when they can slip abord vessel
unobserved. There Is no policing OF the har-
Dor at night. the smailness OF the force as
signed to duty at the harbor precinct not
allowing any detail OF men for this night
work on the water. and but one or two for
shore duty along the wharves.. but In this
shore work the harbor precinct Is aided by
the men from the fourth precinct. who for
merry had charge OF the wharves before the
formation Of the harbor precinct.

'em over the plate
The former Pelican" was relieved by
Hardy. Falkenberg and Smith were then
given chance to try their arms
While this little show was In progress
the rest of the squad WAS put to work

were a little uncertain, but they were after

did the batting, the former sending out
some long ones past the running track.

around the field as If 1t were midsummer.
