SLIGHT iii i:ky at AQUEDUCT TRACK am) BOOKMAKERS WIPE OUT NAMES ox slatks only ONE FA VORITE WINS. There were several flurries at the Aqueduct track yesterday afternoon, but the most lasting, discour aging and uncomfortable was the constant drizzle of rain. The flurry in the betting ring caused some comment, but the excitement was only momentary. and was forgotten before the third race had been run There was a rumor that those who are trying to put a stop to betting at the tracks might visit the inclosure during the day. Then the wise men of the Metropolitan Turf Association put their heads together and decided that it would be best for one day, at least, to have each of the bookers doing business In the ring to remove his name from his Plate when the odds against the different horses were quoted. This was done, and those who wagered money on their favorites were compelled to remember the face of the man with whom he had made a bet. In one part of the lnclosure one of the lines of bookmakers substituted numbers on their slates in place, of their names, so that a Etranger who made a wager with No. 6. or any other number, for that iea«on, had little trouble In finding his n;an in case his choice chanced to turn up a winner. Some people are of the opinion that the number system might be adopted, and that it would prove to be more satisfactory than the pres ent arrangement. The weather was about as disagreeable as usual, •with a spattering of rain falling most of the after noon and the Irack a sea of mud. Only one favor ite won. and as that was in the first race the home coining of the spectators was sad and mourn ful. McGinn, the jockey, had arranged to ride for Louis EL Fran'hi in th« fourth race, but McGinn neglected to report to the track in the course of . the day, and was fined $I<io. Gold Lack won his third straight race In the opening contest. He won as he stassai, Red Damsel, at the liberal odds of 2H: to 1. captured th«» second race. Sidney Lucas was himself In the handicap for three-year-olds and upward, and carried his 156 pounds to an easy victor>-. not making his run until half a furlong from the finish. Shaw seemed to have been caught napping on Elsie L. in the Ozone StHkes. and Miles brought up Carroll D. in the last few strides and won by a head. Millstream and Locket were the other winners. Locket defeated Tamah Xawis. which was at 1 to 6 in the betting. The sum maries: FIRST RACE — three-year-olds and upward; handi cap; $-100. Five and cne-half furlongs. /-Betting-. -> st. n E.

Cincinnati, April 25.— A novel record was estab lished nt the Newport track to-day. Six races were run over a track covered with water aver aging: a foot deep, and in some places deeper. It was accomplished without serious accident to horses or riders. When the patrons of the track arrived they were surprised to find the homestretch for about seventy yards inundated, and part of the backstretch covered with water. The horsemen and Jockeys were consulted on the advisability of carrying out the programme, and by unanimous consent the card was run off. There were many exciting contests, and thousands cheered the riders as th«y rode through the lake on the homestretch to reach the wire. Not a horse wabbled until the finish in the last race, when Julius Werner and Isaac stumbled, throwing their riders into the water, but the boys were not seriously Injured. The racing will continue to-morrow and Satur day under the same circumstances. To-night the turfmen are talking of the evolution of horse racing Into an aquatic sport.

According to an English critic, the rim brake Is the best thing that ha? been Invented since the pneumatic tire. Nevertheless then.' are some faulty specimens about, and so fast are they Increasing In variety that It will be ti long time before, by a process of elimination, the public will have deter mined which is the best.

She will also have a wooden topmast. The Job of adjusting the rudder has been carried out. It la wedge shaped, covered with Tobln bronze plating. the Interior being packed with wood, shaped to lit neatly. The machinery at the shops Is being operated until 10 o'clock at night because of a desire to hurry tbe construction of the main boom.

Members of the Autoomblle Club of America were rejoicing last night over the Intelligence from Al bany that Governor Odel! had signed the Doughty Automobile bill. The bill has been amended since it was Introduced at the Instigation of the club of this city, but the changes refer only to the jurisdiction of the park officials in city parks, and the owners of motor machines «re satisfied with the measure as ¦ whole. The bill provides for the registration of automobiles with the Secretary of State, and allows them to he driven on any high way nt a speed not to exceed fifteen miles an hour outside of Incorporated cities and villages. The new law simply confers upon the owners of motor vehicles the same rights enjoyed by the drivers of hor?es. and It avoids the confusion which would have arisen bad sacb township been left to iix Its speed limits. The speed of automobiles in cities must not exceed eight miles an hour. The bill also requires that each owner of an automobile must file with the Secretary of State a brief description of each vehicle, and shall pay to the State a registration fee of SI. The owners of automobiles have remained quiet recently, but now thru the bill has become a law incidents In the motor world promise to be livelier.
