Another incident which showed the
determination Of the track officials 10
abide strictly by the rules Of racing
resulted in a Weirs Nanona and =.
McHale's Finance being withdrawn from
the first race on the card The num-
bers of both were sent out Is starters,
but 1t was discovered almost at once
that the horses had not been properly

allow them TO 20 to the post.
Broadway Alex" Barred.
What struck many as almost an un-
fair exercise of power was the order
ing OF broadway Aleck' Smith from
the track by George McManus. who Is
in charge or the policing arrangements.
Smith was ordered or the Saratoga
track last week, but this was purely
the action of the Saratoga. stewards,
and as the Jockey Club stewards have
not yet passed on the case. the Sara
toga ruling might be regarded as hav-
ing only local effect. and Smiths friends
thought undue severity was shown
toward the ball player.
Considering the light in which the
Empire City mana agement had been rep
resented by its enemies prior to the
opening OF the meeting, however. its
officials were well advised in acting as
they did, as, together with the alertneSs
shown 10y the stewards II served TO
prove that the racing at Empire City
is 10 be conducted IN strictest accord
ance with the rules Of racing and 81

An improvement which will accomno-
date more persons in the field enclosure
is the extension Of the railing to a point
much nearer the grandstand.
Partly due 10 the rain which fell in
the morning. and partly due TO the
abundance Of water wagons in use. there
was no dust yesterday to spoil the pleas
ure Of onlookers, and the going was
mellow"
During the afternoon the stewards
took occasio TO warn several Jockeys
who had given the starter some trouble
at the post that they were liable 10
swift punishment.
AntiCiDating another big attendance on
Saturday. the management ordered the
construction of an inner rail extending
for more tnan a furlOnR parallel with
the track railing on the inside. so that
there will be no repetition OF the spec
tacle seen on Saturday last. when thou

"Landlady" sung by Mrs. Mitchell
Your kind applause,
Without a pause,
Has brought me out again;
III tell to you,
OF things few,
AT home, which you might gain.
And those in this locality,
Who pride on their frugality,
Might try with all Legality,
improvements to obtain.
You often see this city
AS dirty as can be,
Its streets quite deep
In muddy sand
AS any one can see.
But with a council just woke up,
No longer they'll refrain
From putting sidewalks in the
streets,
AS well as pave and drain.
Oh! it's worry, worry, worry!
To mOdernize a town,
It's not alone the tearing up,
But also putting down.
So when you get an opera house,
And new court house, may be,
Your city then will swing in line
And sound its jubilee.
So there's no use crying,
And it's no good signing,
lust a little patience you must have.
And all will turn out right:
have finished now my ditty
All about your dear old city,
I'll not wait for these improvements,
5ut will wish you all good night"

Things have not moved with
perfect smoothnessin the Society
of Equity of late. The charge
has been made that the president
of the national body, who has
held that position for several
years, has made use of it to mend
his private fortune without re-
gard to the interest of the soci-
ETY. itself. Matter which is sent
out by the new governing board
charges that Mr.. Everett at
tempted to have his paper made
the sole official organ of the So
ciety for a term of 50 years,
which would have been a very
profitable thing for him, and
that this scheme was frustrated
and Mr.. Everitt was so discredit-
ed by the affair. that he did not
even offer himself as a candidate
for reelection. Doubtless all
this matter will work itself out
in time. but it is we'll to bear in
mind that even societies whose
objects are the most laudable are
to be used as instruments of
graft-Grand Forks Herald.
