 LOOMS IN COUNCIL
Hearings Have Been Merely Pre- liminary, Rutherford Says

Stanley street Is long way from being widened. Councilman Arthur N. Rutherford of the second waYd declared this afternoon, and in ex- planation he declared the hearings already held on this matter are only preliminary steps, having no effect on the situation.
 Before the board can hold an offi- cial hearing the common council must first be advised of the proposi- ton under consideration and au- thorize the hearings, Councilman Rutherford said.
 Already there have been two ses- sions at which Stanley street prop erty owners were heard on the pro- posed widening of the street. AL though about 90 per cent of the property was represented as opposed, the board has decided to recommend that the work be done.
 Councilman Rutherford has made denial of report that he was in favor of adopting a recommendation of the board of public works for the widening of the street. and he has announced that he will stand with the other ward representatives In opposition.
 The councilman appeared before the board of public works when the Stanley street matter was heard and

HORSE RAGING

No International Race
To Be Staged This
Year, Report.
By FRANK GETTY.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-(United
Press)-This year there will be no
such International stake races as
those in which Papyrus and later
Epinard tried and failed.
When those races were being bal
lyhooed 1t was customary to say
they were fine things for sport and
that they helped improve interna-
tional relations. Perhaps they were
and maybe they did. But they also
proved that they are not fair to the
horse that had I do the ocean 10Y

The finicky Papyrus and the
gentle Epinard were victims of bad
riding. Steve Donoghue. it now APP
pears, didn't try on the English colt
at Belmont park in 1922. and Epin-
/. ard was hsmpered by such terrible

was taken off, and the mount given
to a local rider.
Then the plates worn by Papyrus
over the Shiny mile and a half at
Belmont park made the handicap OF
Indifferent ~jockeyship unsurmount-
able. And Epinard cracked a hoof,
not, however. until after the third of
the three special races for which it
came.
Such things, of course. could not
be foreseen But what now a be
foreseen is that the and tear

lions, the possibility of accident and
the unfair handicap Of racing an in
yader against half a dozen of our
best, anyone Of whom may have an
exceptionally good day. while the
presence of tho rest simply serve TO
hamper the visitor-these things
make International stake events a
dubious adjunct to American rae
ing.
The principal reason. however.
why we will not see n similar event
this year is that there has been no
ouXtandlng French or English
champion of the 1924 fiat racing sea

the EPSON Derby. is not the best in
England, any more than Papyrus
was the best in 1922. The French
turf has produced no thoroughbred
with a press agent equal to Epin-
ards.
Before Epinard came to this coun-
try last summer. it was evident that
there was no outstanding equine
champion to measure strides with
the visitor. Various trainers pick

the task. Zev being the most popular
