'MUSKETTE WINS THE FUTURITY Keene's Entry Captures Classic Event. SIR MARTIN RUNS SECOND The Smallest Attendance in Many
 Years. Both the Law and the Management of the coaey Island Jockey Club Frewsed sternly on Bet
 ting.

New York, Aug. 29.--with both the law and the management of the Coney Island Jockey Club frowning sternly on betting, and the racing public Knowing 1t only too we'll. there was in comparison with former years. only a corporai's guard in attendance this af- ternoon at the twenty first running of the futurity race at sheepshead Bay to see James R. Keene's brown Ally, Muskette. easily capture the classic event.
 The spectators numbered about 12.- 900. while the record for attendance on this fixture is close to 50.000 and 1t hassbeen an ordinary thing for 40,- GOO persons to witness the contest of thoroughbreds, which marks the opening of the fall racing season In New York. There was a mere hand ful in view of the former immediate throngs that used to make whole day of 1t, going In the morning in or- der to secure advantageous places, yet old timers apparently expected that the beautiful Sheepshead Bay track would be even more deserted than 1t was. and It was almost with cheerful ness that those declared 1t was q great attendance. under the circumstances.r .r
 There was absolutely no betting. The futurity was the fourth race on the card and It Is said some attempt was made to fay some wagers on the first race. but quietly, If not mysteri- ously. the quietus was put upon 1t and thereafter even the most power- fus searchlight would have been un- able to unfold any betting of the pro- fessional sort.
 There were nine starters in the fu- tnrity. Names R. Keens had two entries and there were experts galore at the track who figured he would win both first and second places. He got first with Muskette and third with Helmet. The Ally ran a pretty race all the way and won by fully three lengths in the magnificent time of 1:i1 Is. thus equalling the best time for the race. J. E. Madden's chestnut colt. Sir Martin, running fifth all the way. rapidly forged to the front near the end and got second place by a head from Helmet Mfr. Keene's other entry. The value of the race was s25,- 100 to the winner.
 A striking fact in connection with the futurity field this year was that practically only very wealthy men had horses considered good enough 10 strive for the rich prize. Of the nine starters, James R. Keene owned two: Harry Payne Whitney. two; August Belmont, Herman B. Duryea and P. S. F, Randolph. one each and John E. Madden, two.

the United States is operated, under it's Secretary, by a bureau system. The Secretary is a civilian generally, in recent years, a lawyer, passing on from
 this stepping-stone to a higher
 political career. The conduct of
 the department must, naturally,
 come into the hands of the
 bureaus beneath him. There are seven of these Navigation,
 Ordnance, Equipment, Con- struction and Repair, Steam engineering, Supplies and Ac- counts, and Medicine and Surgery. The Uuited States Navy is built, equipped, and operated by these bureaus. The criticisms of the navy all come back to them. They are, when these criticisms are to be acted upon, practically both judge and defendant. Naturally, they acquit the defendant almost in- variably. This kills the crit icism."
 J If sReuterdahl,n who is a sors a the3 United States Naval Institute, is not the most reckless, monumental and in- liar that ever lived, our navy is not fit for war and the American people are living in a fools Paradise.
 The only answer so far made to the indictment of the bureau system is the enforced retire ment of an officer who is sus- pected of having given Reuter- dahlss ssaccess to official, documen- tary proof of the truth of his allegations.
 The charges that there are glaring weaknesses in the disci- pline and equipment of the United States navy are admitted to be true by Rear-Admiral c. F. Goodrich, commander of the New York navy yard, who is considered one of the ablest men in the navy service.
 Not only are the charges true, according to the guarded ad- mission of the admiral, but many of the high officials of the navy, himself among them, have notified the department at Washington officially of the weaknesses.

NAVY NOT FIT TO FIGHT
Useless Armor, Guns That Cannot Be Fired, Exposed Magazines, and General Obsolete Designs. An swer To Criticism is Retirement of Progressive Officer.

hGdI AullllI cti OIONiiSOii' Chief of the Bureau of Naviga- tion. has been forced by the President to resign after a sharp disagreement regarding naval policies.
 Brownson and the President had lively set-to several days ago over the matter, and after deliberating over it, the Admiral wrote a tart letter to the Presi- dent. This communication was deliberated over at the Cabinet meeting, and the President, who was very angry about what Brownson said, directed that the resignation be accepted at once.
 The trouble is one of the re- suits of publication in McClure's Magazine for January of an arti- cle by Henry Reuterdahl point ing out grave defects in the management of the Navy de- partment and bad construction of war ships. Reuterdahl shows by an apparently incontrovert- ible array of facts, supported by plans and figures, that United States battleships and cruisers are not protected by their armor belts above the waters edge, that a third of their guns are useless in seaway, that their open turrets connecting directly with magazines are death traps and menaces to the life of the ships themselves, and that the designs of most of our ships are fundamentally wrong and in many respects obsolete. He says:
 Most of these facts are un- familiar to the general public; many of them may seem too ex- traordinary to be credible. l do not ask that my word be accept ed for them; it is unnecessary that it should be. The various points which are stated here have all been published in technical journals; some of them have been embodied in presiden- tial messages. They may all be verified from any sea-going officer of the navy, or, if the reader is sufficiently interested, by the testimony of his own eyes.
 ''The immediate question which occurs to every one upon learning these facts is: How can such a state of affairs be possi- ble? Some of the conditions, especially those of the material equipment, are so absurd that they seem absolutely impossible. How can any human being, or set of human beings, place the armor of a battle-ship under water? How can they place their greatest guns directly above an open shaft leading to a powder-magazine? How can they, year after year, build ships so low that they cannot fire a great percentage of their gnns under conditions which must almost certainly be met in naval warfare? How is it possible that blunders of these propor- tions can be perpetuated? The answer to this is simply that no human being is responsible for this thing. It is done by a system an organization so con
