ROTTEN WHARF APPROACH.

The approach to the Hackfeld wharf
was not only full of holes yesterday and
dangerous to the scores of horses which
were driven to and fro all day while the
Siberia was in port, but it began to
shoulder where a careless smoker had
dropped a lighted. cigarette or cigar
stump between two planks. The ap-
proach Is a mass of patchwork. Some
new pieces have been laid on top of
the driveway to cover holes, thereby
making bumps above the surface from
two to four inches high and in other
places the planking is almost as thin
as boxboarding. in several places gap.

compelled to pick their way along the

NICE QUESTIONS
Of COST BILLS
Judge De Bolt Decides in the
Lowrie Case Against
Castle.

Judge De Bolt yesterday decided the
question of costs in the suit of W. J.
Lowrie against H. P. Baldwin, j. B.
Castle and Others When the original
suit was brought in this jurisdiction
all the brothers and sisters of James
B. Castle were made defendants. In
an amended bill filed, several of these
were left out as parties. Later the
remaining defendants secured an order
that the plaintiff, being nonresident,
must give security for costs in the
proceeding. He failed to give the Sc
curity required and the suit was dis
missed. Each defendant then filed a
separate bill of costs, claiming attor-
ney's fees under the statute providing
attorneys fees of a percentage of the
amount claimed, in -assumpsit suits,
from the party against whom judg
ment is rendered. In deciding the
case Judge De Bolt said: "Plaintiff
contends that defendants are only en-
titled to costs as a single party. This
view commends itself to my judgment
and is supported by reason and author
ity.'
That decided the matter as to
whether there should be one cost bill
for all the plaintiffs or separate one
for each, which makes a difference in
this case of several hundred dollars.
Judge De Bolt then proceeded to
discuss the question of whether under
the statute the plaintiffs were entitled
to attorneys fees. He held that dis
missing suit for failure to file bond
for costs was not judgment in the
sense used in the statute, and there
fore the defendants are not entitled
to attorneys fees under the statute.
The cost bills presented were accord
ingly all dismissed without prejudice
to one cost bill for all the defendants.
The questions involved may be
taken to the Supreme Court for final
decision.

1t is interesting TO observe how at
tentiyely the Louisville return 10 the
mutuel system Of betting is being con-
sidered In other centers Of racing. The
recent decision Of the Kentucky court
or appeals renders IL practically Ger
tain that the same betting means VIII
be In use at Latonia, but the matter
does not stop there. The Baltimore Of
ficfals and those of the Canadian tracks
are also scanning the matter Closely,
and the manifest success that has at
tended the experiment at Louisville ID
financially appealing. 1t is evident that
the revenue TO the club largely ex-
ceeds that derived from booking last
year, and II is quite likely to Increase
when good weather comes and the peo-
pie can go to the races comfortably IL
Is not improbable that $lOO,OOO In
tickets will be sold in a day before the
meeting closes. That would be equiva-
lent 10 the revenue from so books, a
number unknown at Louisville. This
is exclusive OF the return from the auc-
tions, no slight sum in itself.
Representatives of several OF the
Canadian tracks and of the Maryland
jockey club are at Louisville for the
purpose OF observing the operations or
the mutuel system. 1t is stated that
there Is strong probability that ma
chine betting will supersede book max
Ing at Pimlico next fall and the Cana
dians are reported TO be fayorably In

sluggers and they stood up and swung
their arms like a pair OF animated

could AT such a fast pace and stopped
near the end OF the second round.
Irvine boxed right foot forward.

the bout between Lew DAILY and Denny

In tho form of clinches. The judges or

Trans-Pacific Yacht
Race Assured

LOS ANGELES. May 13.-Despite the
fact that the biennial yacht race be-
tween San Pedro and Honolulu was
once abandoned this season IL Is now
probable that the event will be re-
viyed in the form OF the greatest con-
test ever sailed on the Pacific ocean. At
a meeting of the chamber OF commerce
held today It was reported that over
$500 had been raised to defray neces-
sary expenses and provide suitable
trophy. Local yacht owners who had
made other plans for the summer have
cancelled their engagements and en-
tered their boats and the date tenta-
lively selected for the start from San
Pedro is July 4. A cabled message from
Honolulu received today states that the
yacht Hawaii. recently completed for
entry In the race, will participate. At
present II Is practically assured that
at least six yachts will compete.

Signs along the 81 mile course over
which the "a hour automobile race is to
be run will be posted by the runs and
tours committee of the Automobile deal
ers' association 10 guide the drivers
around turns. over bridges and past
places that might mean damage In a
contest OF this kind.
For long races in the east and In
Europe these signs consist OF white
canvas strip stretched across the road
at certain distances from the places re-
garding which warning is to be given.
The rs" turns, which are dangerous,
are designated, as well as bridges. To
run an event over course without
these warning signs Is dangerous. and
should not be held by the general body
of automobile dealers. The course should
be covered by telephone service In case
of accident. and each car, as IL passes
certain points, should be reported to the
grandstand. At all dangerous points
fiagmen should be placed TO prevent ac-
cidents. especially at railroad crossings.
1t is quite a proposition to pull off a
race of this character and the track ia
talities last season should be warn
ing TO the runs and tours committee not
to take any chances.
To make this event a success those
who have charge OF Ii should go over
the course thoroughly with the mar
shals, hagmen and other officials, and
plan out a way OF handling the event
before 1t takes place. Undoubtedly a
very large crowd will be in attendance
and IL will be no small matter to keep
the course clear.
Road racing is the only thing that
now has any attraction for the speed
merchants. The event OF the 30th is not
such a speed contest but one which
calls for continuous performance for
