1t has been my policy to file in

Grand Juries. BY this method

been saved to the taxpayers and il

criminal expenses of both Parishes
have been greatly reduced and the
public Is invited to consult the re-
cords.

Of his office, is vested with the
power and authority and discre
ton, when in his judgment, the
ends Of justice have been, or will
be met, to compromise, accept
pleas OF guilty, and to nolle-pros
equi, cases, and this course l shall
follow ID reelected.

ate upon my record made, as a fair,
impartial, and vigorous prescott
ing officer.

MIKE MALTA WILL MEET
HARRY TRACEY NEXT WEEK

Mike Malta, who has appeared In
this city on several occasions, has
been signed by the Eleventh Ward
Athletic Club to perform in the star
bout next Tuesday against Harry
Tracey, of Philadelphia. The latter
Is a boy well liked in Philadelphia.
Tracey has fought some of the best
men in the featherweight class. He
has boxed Tommy Houck three times
and has as many decisions over him.
A win over Tommy O'Toole is also
on his record book.
His brother Willie is lightweight.
ard the other brother, Johnny, a
w~elterweight.
Malta is a much improved lad these
days. About a month ago in New
York he fought the sparring partner
of Johnny Kilbane. who is a clever
boxer and hard hitter, and made a
most wonderful showing. although he
was outweighed. The bout ought to
bring out a banner crowd.

The track at Westside Park is in
very bad shape, and the stallion
could doubtless trot on a good track
better than 2:20. He will start in the
2:24 trot on July 4 at Hohokus, and
looks good enough to win.
Harry Stengel is doing we'll with
the chestnut trotting mare Venus's
Pride, by Axum outo of Happy Venus.
At this time she has been a mile in
1882, yet she can show better than
2:20 speed in places, and acts like
she would trot some fast miles be-
fore the close of the season.
II is reported that the bay trotting
mare, The Niece, in the stable OF
Johpny Packer, is of the most
promising green trotters in training
at the Goshen track. This mare came
within 500 of coming to this city
laN autumn, and for the price that
she was. offered for at hat time she
was well worth the money.

disbanded according to present
plans, until the month of August.
when 1t is expected thai a reorgani-
cation of the crack suburban aggre-
cation will take place. Inability to
secure available grounds at this stage
Is probably the chief cause for the
temporary disbandment. The absence
of the Bloomfield Club will mean a
distinct loss to that town, which has

sons.

BY WALTER e. RLE

Otto Fentzlaff has sold the bay
pacing mare Queen Gentry to j. w.
Searles, of Nutley, and the mare will
probably be used in. the matinee
events at Clifton from this time on.
Thus far this season the mare has
done we'll, and has been named in
the $1,000 2:20 pace at the Hohokus
meeting in August.
During the past week the bay mare
Danish Belle worked four heats bet
ter than 2:20, and at this time looks
like the best PAGER in training here
abouts. What she can do she does
right, and over a good track she can
doubtless make a horse race right at
2:15 to beat her. She will make her
next start for the legal tender at the
Hohokus meeting on July 4, and che
PAGER that beats her will know it has
been to the races.
The 3~-year-old chestnut colt Todd
McGregor worked the last eighth of
a mile in 2:30 in sixteen seconds
Tuesday, and today can show about
as much for an eighth as any PAGER
at the track. He Is mixing speed
very rapidly, and If he cannot show
a mile right at 2:20 EEL a good track
now there is not a horse in this coun-
try that can. -
George Moore, the Westside Park
trainer, has driven the bay trotting
stallion Wood Alcott three miles in
2:23 over the Hudson county track,
and this young horse looks like the
