Former Exercise Boy Wins Appeal in Libel
Suit Against Horseman

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court re-
versed yesterday the verdict Of jury in the lower
court in favor of August Belmont in suit brought
by John II. Freit, formerly an exercise boy in his
employ. and ordered a trial for the latter.
Freit sued Belmont for $4,000 through David ".
Rockmore. because Of alleged damage TO his repu-
tation and loss Of occupation. due TO the action OF
the defendant
Freit alleges tha; ne discharged Octo-
ber :. 1873, and that September Is 1904. he
libeed by statement alleged TO have been made
by August Belmont and published in The Racing
Calendar that he had left the employ Of Mr.. Bel
mont without his consent. Mr.. Belmont denied that
he had discharged the boy. 4 letter was put in
evidence behalf Of the Jockey. Fret. alleged 20
have been sent to Fret's mother by Mr.. Belmont,
stating that he would have further need for the
boys services.
Justice Leuzhlin. writing the opinion ordering
new trial Freit. in which all the court concur
except Justice Houghton, holds that the letter Of
Mr.. Belmont Mrs. Freit constituted discharge
Of the boy and adds:

depriving the plaintiff Of employment by publish
ing those who were bound under the racing rules
to refuse employment in such circumstances that
the boy left his employ without his consent and
without being discharged"

ALDERMEN GET JOY FUND. -
Citizens Union Protests Against $4,000 for
Greensboro Bridge Celebration.

Despite protest by Robert S. Binkherd, seCre-
tarv Of the Citizens Union. who strongly hinted
al graft and waste, the Board Of Estimate and Ap-
portionment approved yesterday the resolution
which gives the aldermen $1,000 with which prop
erly 10 celebrate the opening OF the greensboro
Bridge to-day
Mr Binkherd said the aldermen had refused to
merge their fund with that OF the citizens com
mittee, which has charge of the general celebra-
ton. and he said that apparently the Union Nov
city Company. located in East l4th street, was in
position TO get the contract for the supplies
Controller Metz said that the board could not
turn over the city's money to a private committee
Mayor Mcclellan seemed trihe bored by the sug-
geston Of the reformers, and after the Controller
had assured the board that only those items would
be paid that were actually delivered and used. the
appropriation approved. The fund is known
as the ''sider1nanic $4,000 JOY fund" and there
was Joy among the aldermen when they made their
ancient enemy, the CItiz.ns Union bite the dust.
