WINDSOR, Carada, August 22.-Harry
Payne Whitney's Nightstick, carrying
top weight and favorite in the betting,
captured the George Hendrie Memorial
handicap, the feature of a sparkling
card of seven races on getaway day
at Windsor. The event carried a purse
of $4,000, and the eastern crack won
from Leochares, the speedy western
sprinter of John W. Schorr. Only four
horses started, as Kleyburne declined
the issue.
Generous patronage marked the clos
ing day of racing on the Canadian loop,
all of the lake cities contributing to
the attendance. Many owners will ship
direct to Kentucky for fall racing.
The track was heavy, despite consld-
cradle drying BY the wind and sun.

The estate was valued at about s4,o00, 1000.
 The verdict opened today was hand ed in sealed last Friday by a jury in the supreme court. The action was brougzls on the ground stf1ats1tl1e exe- cufofs exerted undue Influence on Mrs. Bailey and that she was Wa1ysically and mentally incompetent to make a will.

u. M. 6. BUSY WITH
 .AIMMUNITl0N ORDER

Rumors to the effect that the Union Metallic Cartridge Company of this city had received orders from Mexico for 3OO.000, 900 rounds of ammunition, which would compel the running of the plant nights for a period of about three months, were partially denied at the factory this morning.
 It was admitted however, by Works Manager Frank o. Hoag1and that the factory woulds work some of it's de- partmentS into the night, but that complete new shifts would not be put on at this time.
 To a reporter for The Farmer he said: T think the rumors which have arisen in New York are erroneous and I can easily explain to you why. In the first place three hundred million rounds of ammunition is an order much larger than ever placed. There has been one instance during the civil war but that took the manufacturing company over a. year to turn out. Neither the Mexican government nor the insurgents have, T believe, sufn- cient backing to warrant such large orderss I think if the contemp plated placing of an order for 100, 900 rounds was announced in Mexico City, those agents along the frontier seeking busd- ness for various firms in this country and Europe would magnify the quan- t1ty, so that by the time the report reached New York it would be as large as you have indicated. This is probably what happened
 We at the plant never know where orders are to be exported. We have as a rule large reserve stocks Of ann munition. In 1911 we over manufac- tured and last year we were more con servative. We find ourselves today in a position where some of our lines are almost depleted and in order to maintain the proper quota on hand are compelled to work some of the de- partments overtime. We shall at first probably only work them until 9 o'clock. do not think at this time we will enlarge our force to any ex- tent-'s
 It is the general belief in New York city that the U. M. c. has been suc- cessful in securing large contracts for supplying the Mexican Federals, al- though the export department are naturally reticent in publishing gov ernment facts.

CITY WILL CLEAR. SIDEWALKS AND
 CHARGE OWNERS
Work for Many Unemployed Is Likely Under Scheme of
 City Officials.
HUNDREDS OF NAMES
 REPORTED TO POLICE
Director Gourtade's Men Will Clear Walks at Owners Expense.

Employment for many of the idle will be provided through the city s cleaning the sidewalks where own CTS are delinquent. The city ordin- ance covering the shoveling of walks calls for their being cleaned with in 24 hours after the snow ceases to fall. If the property owners do not clean the walks, themselves, the city will do 80, and will assess the cost against the owners, according to the plans formulated at police headquar- ters today.
 Multitudinous reports, received at police headquarters this morning from precinct captains as to property that still has uncleaned sidewalks despite warnings given, were rapidly trans scribed into a typewritten list This
 afternoon it will be forwarded to Dir ector of Public Works Jacob A. Cour- tade for his guidance Through an arrangement with the police depart ment gangs of city employed snow
 shovellers will start out for the desig- mated points. The men will work
 with the city responsible for their pay but planning to collect said pay
 from the negligent property. owners, or agents.
 This drastic action has been deemed
 necessary on account of the lax man
 ner in which Bridgeporters have con- sidered the city ordinance and their considering the warnings of the po-
 lice joke Captains of the precincts
 have been instructed to have their men report all unc1eaned walks and
 their reports, after one warning. will
 be turned in at police headquarters and thence to Director Courtade. Any
 dispute between owners. agents or ten-
 ants as to who is responsible for the
 walks can be fought out among them- selves, the city only requiring that the
 work be done or paid for at current
 rates. 5ts $
 Superintendent BirminghaTn consid-
 CTS that there is no excuse for there being 4uncleaneds walks today on ac-
 count of yesterday being Sunday with
 people having plenty of time to clean
 the walks. He says that many of the complaints are concerning the
 property owned by prominent citizens well able to pay for4the work being
 done provided they do not care to do it themselves.
 When going home to dinner syester- day Superintendent Birmingham re- ceived scores of complaints from wom- en going home from church about the condition of walks He was also able to judge himself as to the need for
 some action. This morning he re- of sidewalk at Washington avenue condition of which complaints were
 received in numbers last winter when ever there was a snowfall He said that there have also been complaints this winter concerning the same piece
 of property and that there seems to be some question as to who is respon- sible.
