To come down to the present day, it may be truly said that all roads lead to the picturesque track at Yonkers for the attainment of a summers pleasure. A trip to the Empire City Race Course on any of these summer afternoons affords a diversion and pleasure that is as unique and delightful as it is novel and sensational, and people from all parts of the surrounding section are going there in large numbers, mak- ing a gathering of holiday seekers diff ferent from that to be found at any ether race course In fact, the Empire City Races have made a distinguished following of it's own and the place is rapidly becoming one of the leading features of Westchester County's sum- mer attractions. A visit there any aft ernoon this month will afford a treat that is incomparable.
 Nesting in the hills, pictureSquely surrounded by thousands of trees, the picture a race day is an animated one. Here one finds the happy holiday throngs enjoying a combination of at fractions, delightful band concerts, cool, invigorating breezes and outbursts of cheers from thousands who are stirred to action by their pent-up en- thusisaSm over the outcome of an ex- citing and well contested contest. The horses, the races, with the attending exciting finishes, the applause of the crowds, the crowd itself and how it takes it's holiday all make a scene that to be a horse owner to be a horse low CT, neither does one have to be a regu- lar racegoer to get all the enjoyment and pleasureable excitement that goes with the sport of kings.
 The liberal policy pursued by MT. James Butler, the owner of the race course has injected new life into the whole racing situation, and the horse owners have responded Loyalty to MT. Buffers determination to give the peo- pie of Westchester County the highest class racing provided in this coun- try. At the close of last years racing season he gave instructions to rebuild the track and prepare stakes for the present season that would again place racing on the same high plane it oc- cupied before the Agnew-Hart law was enacted When other race course own CTS were panic-stricken, MT. Butler be- came all the more energetic and not only stood up for the sport but is carrying it to a point of success that the most sanguine racegoer never dreamed could be attained even after years of effort.
 The accessibility of the Empire City Race Course by railroads, trolleys and drives appeals very strongly to neigh boring sections. People from this sec ton md the drive or automobile ride to the course most delightful one, and the same may he said of the trol- ley ride there. All in all. the Empire City race track is one of the most de- lightful places to while away a sum- ner afternoon, affording not only pleasurable excitement in seeing the sport of kings, but also an instructive lesson in observing how thousands of people take their summer outing. Six stirring events will be given each day up to and including Saturday, July 31.

NEW HOUSE BURNS
 FIREMEN HELPLESS
Blaze Supposed to Have Been Lighted by Fire Bug Destroys Partially In. snred Dwelling of William Clark.

{, Fire destroyed a new frame dwelling house at the junction of Louisiana avenue and East Main street and the Huntington turnpike last night. The house who owned by William Clark who had just completed it. No one occupied it and it was undoubtedly fired by an tncendiary. The building was valued at $3, 800 and insured for less than s1, 800. There is much sym pathy felt for Clark, who is a foreman for P. M. Faulkner, the building con- tractor. He built the greater part of the house during his leisure time. The flames were seen from every part of the city. The auto chemical crew and Assistant Chief Johnson responded to telephone call sent in by some of the neighbors, but the f1remen, equipped with only 50 gallons of chemical fluid. could not put out a blaze that had spread to every part of the building. There were no hydrants in the vicinity that could have been used. The struc- ture is over a quarter of a mile be- yond the Second district line which extends to Noble avenue and Edna street, and is three quarters of a mile beyond the Second district line in East Main street.
 Louisiana avenue is one of the streets of the Beardsley Park Lawn tract and one of the stipulations in the deeds is that the purchasers shall build a substantial residence. One of the land owners stated last night that it would hardly pay. the owners of land there to build first class houses unless they asked for an extension of the Second district line which would entitle the neighborhood to fire protection. He was of theeopinicn that it would be better to pay for fire and police pro- lection and electric lights than it was to pay excessive insurance rates and bc without the protection.

HOPE FOR A CHURCH UNITED
 AND WIDE AS THE WORLD IS
Chief Justice Simeon B. Baldwin Meets With Noted
 Divnes Consider Plans for Concordat of Churches

common work. and welfare of the churches?
 "5. Ordination-The question con- corning valid ordination of the minis try was resolved into the three fol- lowing inquiries: 1. What further would be deemed necessary to render the existing ministry of other churches regular according to the Episcopal or to admin ister the SacramentS in Ep1S- copal churches? ?. Might not such desired additional authorization be conferred by the bishops and received by the ministers of other churches with mutual regard and without essential sacrifices? 3. To secure such regu- 1arity and unity in the Christian min istry might not the alternative form of giving authority in the Ordina1 of the Episcopal church be rendered accept able to all without essential changes by the use of a few predatory and adaptive words? 4. If this could be done and additional or enlarged au- thority could thus be conferred upon the ministry of different Christian bod ies might not this be a convincing g manifestation of the real spiritual unity of Christ's church, and a long step be taken toward the attainment of outward, visible unity?
 "The conference further received the suggestion that if such concordat could be reached, it might lead to similar understandings with other bodies of
 
 tiona1 and church names, which are now felt on all sides to be inadequate or divisive, might lapse into secondary, if not temporary. designations of nat ural diversities in the one church of Christ in our country: and thus the way lead on towards that Church of the future which, in the hope of all Christians, shall be as wide as the world. .. .'The- conference was unanimous also in the opinion that the obstacles in the way of such concordat are not inSuper- able, and that it is now timely and de- sirable that similar meetings be ar ranged at different centers between represent tatives ofe different Christian churches for the mutual comparison of views, for concessive rather than con- troversial discussion, and for the seri- ous consideration of what may possibly be done that we may realize our com mon and supreme desire to render more visible the oneness or wholeness of Christ's church.

Jersey City Wins Suit to
 Collect Gar License Fees
May Get Arrearages for 40 Years from Public Service Corporation.

Trenton, July 21.-Jersey City has won in the Supreme court it's long fight to compel the North Jersey Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the Public Service Corporation, to pay forty years arrearages of car licenses fees, amounting to BIO a year on each car operated. Unless an appeal be taken and the opinion of Justice Swayze, handed down yesterday, reversed. the railway company will be forced to pay many thousands of dollars into the Jersey City treasury. It is thought there will he an appeal.
 Justice Swayze said frankly in his opinion that he has not attempted to ascertain the exact amount due to the city. He intinnated plainly to the law yers in the case. however, that he is enough of a mathematician to ascer- tain the amount if they cannot do it themselves. The North Jersey Street Railway Company formerly operated the surface lines in Jersey City. It was absorbed by the Public Service Corporation. which must pay the ar rearages unless an appeal is success full.

Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth, pastor em- eritus of Center church, Chief Justice Simeon E. Baldwin of the supreme court and Frederick w. Greene of Mid dletown, were appointed a committee at the last Lambeth conference of the bishops of the Anglican communion, to carry out a suggestion adopted at the conference, that meetings of clergy and laymen of different Christian bodies be held to promote Christian unity.
 In May this committee met with Bishop Brewster of the Episcopal Dio- cese of Connecticut, Rev. Dr. Francis of Hartford, William R. Goodwin and w. M. Grosvenor of New York, repre- sentative of the Protestant Episcopal church.
 Following this meeting the commit tee prepared a. suggestion as to cer- tain methods toward Christian unity which in a circular issued by the com nittee. are interrogatively sbated as follows:
 '1. Forms of Worship-Might not agreement be reached in conformity with the constitution of the Episcopal church, and with due regard to the diverSitieS of the churches by the EpiS- copaI recognition in other congrega- ticns of such freedom in worship as might be congenial and habitual among them?

 "4.
