are not able to make public the exact
amount of the days receipts or the
ratio the expenses will bear to these
receipts. But 1t is stated on good au-
thority that these receipts will be not
far from nine thousand dollars, an in
crease of nearly two thousand dollars
over the year before. Should this prove
to be the case the directors of the as
sociation will welcome the funds which
may be placed on the credit side of the
ledger, for there are many things to
spend it upon. For instance, the re-
cent addition to the tournament
grounds entailed considerable expense.
There is a general desire to place a
suitable roof over the great theater of
seats on the west side of the park now
known as the grandstand. The board
of directors is very wisely looking to
the future in all the expenditures
Last year the annual tournament
showed clear profit of $260O
For the peculiar success of the rose
fete of yesterday credit must be given
very largely to the indefatigable eff
forts of President 1. d. Neff, ably sec
onded by his secretary, George p Ca
rey.
OF course the board of directors
should not be forgotten in giving of
credit, but the great burden of the
work was of necessity largely placed
upon President Neff's shoulders.
Cowboys Mere PugiIistic
Former Chief of Police w. w. Free
man deserves much credit for the man
ner in which the great crowd at Tour
nament park was handled yesterday,
he having the policing of the grounds
in sole charge.
The interminable and apparently un-
necessary delays which We're disagree
able features of the days sports put
the crowd in a nervous mood and made
the people unusually restless and eX-
acting.
Several pugilistic encounters were
narrowly avoided by the timely inter-
ference of the men of brass buttons.
When the Off four was thrown at the
south end of the grandstand a num-
Der of spectators loudly expressed the
belief that the cowboy whose attempt
to stop the runaways resulted so dis
astrously should be run from the field. |
The cowboy and his friends took this
up at once but quiet was restored by
some of the special officers
When the judges of the chariot races
gave the Virgins West heat to West
a decision which they later in the even
ing reversed until the matter could be
investigated-Some of the cowboys in
the other part of the field are said to
have expressed a vigorous desire to
''rope the judges" This was averted
litions of spirit and the day ended
without any real collision.
Sunday Concerts Win
Tomorrow morning Charles Grimes
will hand the mayor a program of the
music the Crown City band desires to
give in Central park next Sunday after |
noon. After this program has been
blue-penciled by the city commissioners |
it will be returned with the official O. |
*. upon it.
AT the meeting of the commissioners |
today the expected compromise was
duly adopted upon the motion of Com
missioner Burdette. The resolution |
head as follows:
Resolved, That permission be granted |
the Crown City band TO give series |
of twelve concerts in the city parks on
Sunday afternoons, between the hours |
of and a, on these conditions: That |
the program for each concert be sub |
mitted to the mayor and park commits |
sionerS at least one meeting prior to |
the date on which such program shall |
be given; that their authority to edit |
each program shall not be questioned |
or disputed; that it is understood the |
permission is given for concerts and |
not for Sunday picnics, and no sale of
refreshments of any kind be permitted
in or around the parks; that the best of
order and decorum be maintained in
the audiences during the concerts; and
that it is understood that the commits
sioners may resclnd this permission at
any time without notice"
Pleased With Victory
All of the commissioners with the
single exception of Commissioner
Windham voted for this resolution, he
having opposed the proposed Sunday
concerts from the first. Rev Mr.. Bur
dette, in Offering the resolution which
brought him for the second time into
the ranks of these who are supporting
the innovation, jocularly notified the
lobby of interested spectators that Its
q little New Years gift from the
churches, and don't let them call us
'long-haired' any longer The remark
referred to the suggestion made in DIR.
McLeods letter to the effect that the
church people ought to give their per-
mission to the concerts in the hope that
it will bring non-church people a little
nearer to the church.
Mr.. Grimes said this evening that all
of the concerts will be held in Central
park and that nothing will be placed on
the programs except high grade music.
1t has been a long fight and naturally
Mr.. Grimes and those whom he has
represented feel quite pleased with
their victory.
Public Schools Plans
Work will be resumed in the public
schools of the city tomorrow after the
holiday vacation. This vacation has
usually closed so that work could begin
Immediately following the annual Tour
nament of Roses, but this year the
board of education decided to give the
additional day. With the preparations
for this interesting event off their
minds the pupils are expected to get
down to serious work at once.
superintendent Graham states that
there Is likely to be quite an increase
in the registration as is customary and
as the available space is already over
crowded the problem of finding ac-
commodatiors for the new pupils will
be difficult of solution. In the Madi-
son school a new room will be opened
for mixed second and third grades,
with Miss Ingoldsby as teacher, and II
is quite probable that like arrange
ment win be required in the over
crowded Wilson school. The new regis
tratlon of the first two or three days
will decide.

started two months ago from Chicago.
have finally arrived. They will be put
into place at once in the Wilson, Lin
