ADDITION TO FAIRGROUNDS.
Board of Education Asks for Thirty
Square Feet Per Pupil.

The Commissioners today received a reso-
luton recently adopted by the board of cru
cation which recommends that In the future
all school sites should contain at least
thirty square feet of playground for each
child in the school. and, far as possible
provisions should be made of additional
ground for the existing schools. This COM
munication forwarded to the Com
mssioners by W. W. Conner secretary of
the board of education, who urged in de-
Tense of this movement that thirty square
feet is the London minimum and the
amount given in enactment which
Massachusetts sought to adopt for the state
al a recent session of the legislature
Mr. Conner said. when this question of
playground space was being discussed by
the members of the board. 1t was argued
that thirty square feet is necessary in order
10 give sufficient light and architectural
setting 10 the school, to protect IL from an
noying sights and sounds and fire from ad-
Joining buildings, and In order that GYM
nastic exercises and play and gardening
may take place in the school yards.
This recommendation has been placed on
file by the Commissioners for future con-
sideration without any expression from
them regarding its merits.

SUIT OVER FAMOUS CUP
SMATHERS TRIAL RECALLS
NOTED LOU DILLON CASE.

NEW YORK, April Trial was begun
before Justice Greenbaum and a jury in
the supreme court here today Of the suit Of
the Memphis Trotting Association against
E. E. Smathers for the recovery of the
famous gold cup won by the trotting stall
lion Major Delmar in a race at Memphis In
October. 1904. with the mare Lou Dillon
Mr.. Smathers is the owner of Major Del
mar. while Lou Dillon Is the property or
c. X. G. Billings. 1t is claimed by Mr.
Billings, who induced the Memphis asso-
citation to take up his cause. that Lou
Dillon lost the race because of fraud and
a conspiracy to disable the mare
The matter has been pending for some
time before the National Trotting Associa-
ton and the board of review of that as
ISOLATION last December awarded the cup to
Mr.. Smathers.
In seeking to recover the gold cup the
Memphis Trotting Association has set up
the plea that the action Of the board OF
review was irregular in that the final
award of the cup was made at meeting at
which the association was not represented
1t was stated that the trial may consume
two or more days.
In the proceedings the Memphis Trot-
ting Association and Mr.. Billings jointly
are represented by former Judge E. w.
Hatch of New York and ]. f. Meagher Of
Chicago. Mr.. Smathers Is represented by
Edward P. Coyne, John j. Adams and
Caruthers Ewing.
Action Of Board Of Review.
When the hearing was begun the de-
Tense set up the plea that the action Of
the board Of review was final under the
rules of racing as laid down by the Ma
tional Trotting Association. 1t was con-
tended that the owners of both Major Del
mar and Lou Dillon agreed to abide by the
rules of the national association In en-
tering their horses for the cup. and that
the cup was a gratufty pure and simple.
In his opening address to the jury Judge
Hatch declared that 1t would be shown
that prior to the deciding race for the
gold cup on October Is, 1904. the defend
ant, Smathers, the owner of Major Del
mar, conceived the idea of uniting Lou
Dillon. and that as a result Of the con-
spiracy which followed a drug was adj
ministered to the mare. This drug pre-
vented her from showing her usual burst
of speed and caused her defeat. After the
race 1t was seen Lou Dillon was In no
condition to race. although in the morn
ing workout she had displayed her usual
speed.
The Memphis association commended de-
clared Judge Hatch, that the gold cup
having been taken by fraud, should be re-
stored to 1t as the rightful owner.
Mr.. Allen, for the defense, moved that
the suit be dismissed on the ground that
the Memphis Trotting Association was not
the rightful owner Of the trophy at the

stipulated indemnity whicn is in excess
of the sum of sl1, ,655. 1929 and interest at

from China the payment of equitable in
IDENTITIES to the >several nations, and the
final protocol under which the troops
were withdrawn, signed at Peking. Sep

to revise the estimates and account. and
as proof of sincere friendship for China

be necessary for actual indemnity to the
United States and its citizens.
