FIRE Committee
IS GIVEN POWER
INVESTIGATING FIRE SYSTEMS
Probability That This Committee
Will Provide Protection

After two hours of discussion upon
the installation of new fire fight
ing apparatus and fire alarm system
the city council passed a motion last
Monday to the effect that the entire
matter be referred to the fire COM
mittee with power to act.
The agent for the Seagrave COM
pany was present with photographs
showing the different apparatuses
and also fire alarm system. His
company is willing to place an auto
truck and install fire alarm sys.
TEN upon almost any terms.
A 40-horse power auto truck will
cost $4,000, and rough estimate
of the fire alarm system is $4,000.
The city has but $1,000 available
ard would have to reserve at least
$1,000 of this for maintenance for
the current year. The aldermen
have made up their minds not to
exceed the appropriations by !. sin.
gle cent, but they can overcome the
shortage by installing the mach 'ery
on the lease or rental basis.
This company, or in fact any OF
the companies. will accept a portion
Of the money as rent for the first
year, with a contract that the amount
so paid be applied upon the pur.
chase price when sold to the city
year later.
The fire committee has been to
Collins and Alderman Howard had
compiled enough figures and data to
fill a whole volume on fire apparatus
The fire committee is composed OF
Luther. Adams and Howard, and as
the long delayed proposition for ade-
quate fire protection has now sim
mered down to the efforts of these
three men. it is more than probable
that a conclusion will be reached
within a few days.
Fire trucks are not built until
they are ordered and it will take
three months to get one here afte,
1t is ordered.

events. to be started each day of the
fair
While the business men have sub
scribed handsomely toward putting
the association on its feet they will
again be asked to aid, as much more
money than has been received will
be needed to make the fair success.
The premiums and purses offered ag-
gregate over $1,000, and the publi-
cation OF the lists means the outlay
of neat little sum, SO we feel COM
PEELED to once more appeal to your
liberality in a business way.
Give Mr.. Kelley an ad for the

JOCKEY CLUB GIVES
PIMLICO APPROVAL

BALTIMORE. Md, March 16.-All
chances of war between the Jockey Club
and the Maryland Jockey Club were
dispelied yesterday. On invitation of the
main body Messrs. George c. Morrison
and Charles McClain. representing the
southern course. appeared before the mo-
guls, and after long elaboration the
announcement was made that the pro-
gram at Pimlico would consist of purses.
stakes and handicaps.
1t was understood that the Maryland
folk intended to do away with all their
feature events and run only a program
of overnight races. The getting togeth-
er of the two bodies of turfm,n will
be more than welcome to the horsemen
who intend to race at PimlicO, but who
were waiting for the official sanction before
shipping their stables south. At the same
time the Jockey Club gave Its Official ap-
prevail of the dates selected by the Mary
land club for it's spring and fall meetings
The initial meet will start on April "a and
continue to May IL. inclusive. In the
fall the sport will run from October %
to November g. inclusive.
The following officials to act at both
William II. Manley will represent the
the Judges will be William P. Riggs
and e. c. Smith; A. P. Dade will handle
the starting flag; Frank ]. Bryan will
do the handicapping, and Thomas c.
Smith will act clerk of the scales.
The committee from Maryland de-
clared that it expects to revive the
old classics that made the Pimlico course
famous. The Jockey Club signified its
intention of adding a cup or plate of $500
value to the Preakness stake, the main
event of the coming meet. The pro-
gram of the Pimlico course will be an
nounced the latter part of this week.
Bookmakers who have quoted odds at
the Pimlico course in former years are
greatly perturbed over receiving notice
that if they intended to lay prices this
season they will have to send $500 in ad-
vance for the first three days draw-in
This Is the first time in the history of
racing that layer in an open ring has
been requested TO pay in advance, and
the innovation doesn't strike them very
favorably. One layer who received this
queer request sums it up that the as
sociation intends to start business on
this capital. He says. IF forty bookies
draw in it will mean a fund of $4,000.
which will pay all the preliminary ex-
penSeS."

GOOD WEATHER AT
LAST FOR NATIONALS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
GALVESTON, Tex, March 16-There
was nothing doing again yesterday in the
way of game by the Nationals. though
the day was bright and sunny overhead,
because of the soggy condition of the
diamond. Quite crowd that drifted out
in the afternoon was disappointed. but
enjoyed a stiff bout of practice by both
Nationals and Sand Crabs that lasted
until nearly shutdown. The outfield was
good and hard, and the soft ground did
not bother the players.
Weather indications for the rest of the
week are clear and warm, so this after
noon the Nationals and Sand Crabs will
begin a four game series that lasts until
Friday evening, when Cantillon's men get
away for San Antonio. There is state
of innocuous desuetude in the Nationals
camp-not a man sick, hurt or lame, and
all of Cantilons troubles have resolved
themselves into one, and that is to
see that the regulars do not do too strong
work at the table with the knife and
fork.
Reports from Camp Hughes at Waco
say that the Yanigans punched hits beau
tifully in Sundays game. and there was
great rejoicing among the regulars there
at. Hughes also said the weather was
good yesterday. and that the Yanigans
had a good days workout.
