difficult to classify any police assign ment as entirely permanent.
 Chairman Bannan agreed on this point, adding that the present board personnel might be changed at any time, and new commissioners could do as they wished in the manage ment of the department. Commis- sioner Tomikowsli said he preferred to consider the matter from all angles before committing himself as to it's merits.
 The proposed lieutenancy Of de- tectives was brought up by Chair man Bannan in this connection. He said he hoped the common council would see fit this year to create the office, as it was certainly advisable to have a ranking officer in charge of the bureau.
 The recommendation of the com- mon council that the police depart ment advertise the detention of dogs before they are destroyed was re- ferred to the corporation counsel for an opinion. Thre is a possibility that it conflicts with the state law, and the question has also arisen as to the source of the funds with which to pay for advertisements.

Horse Racing Popular
With Ancient PEOPLES

The earliest recorded organized
trials of speed with horses were the
chariot races al the Greek national
festivals. of which the most notable
were the Olympic games held every
fourth year. Greek sculpture fire
quently represents the horse as used
for riding, apparently without a sad
die in most cases; but not as so en-
ployed for sport, except as an incident
to the chariot racing. On the other
hand, the horses in the Roman con-
tests were TO very great extent rid
den. All the formalities of entering
and of differentiation of classes and
of starting were infinitely laid down
and followed. even to the color of the
riders uniform. In the earlier times
these Roman races were held on the
open plain. There has always been a
tradition in England that on Sails
bury plain. just outside StOnehenge.
the remains of a Roman race course
exist; and the eldest race which still
takes place in England is run over
fat meadow Just outside the walls of
the Roman city Of Chester.-Washing-
