AXTELLO BEATEN AT LAST BY LITTLE QUEEN WILKES, WHO SWEEPS THE ROAD. Delightful weather yesterday morning drew the largest crowd of the season to th" Speedway. From end to end the Ion:; stretch north of Washington Bridge was walled in with spectators standing three rows deep along the curb, and the sidewalks were black with people. On the road a maze of light harness turnouts moved up and down, fast trotters and pacers going through the centre at top speed in th«ir brushes, while others walked quietly along near the curb line to let their drivers watch the sport. The footing was wellnlsh per fect for the horses, and there was a dazzling dis play of speed. In the battles Of the morning E. F. Smathers's handsome little bay trotting mare Queen Wilkes stirred the admiration of the big crowd by outfoot ing every horse she met. Frederick Spear, a mere boy in years, but a remarkably clever relnsman, drove her, Mr. Smathrr? being in Porto Rico at present. After a preliminary skirmi:-h with Quarterdeck, in which .~hi -.yon without coming to a drive, the trim built, true going daughter of Lexington Wilkes went down the centre with David Lamar's grand looking big bay mare Bally Simpson. ?:1H ... and Edgar Brink's Bonnie Duchess. 222 They finished in a bunch, not more than half a length separating any of the three fast mares, hut little Queen Wilkes squeezed through in the lead, with Sally Simpson second Bonnie Duchess prised everybody by holding hT own so well with the Speedway stars. In another close finish Queen Wilkes beat the big bay trotter Eow Rene tWi and the gallant pray horse Glenmere Boy. 2:l4'i- ' . The brush of the day came when Queen WUkea met M. C. Harrison's great trotter Axtello. 2:15. that for several weeks has been showing his heels to all comers. Trotting like a team, they traversed the stretch in a battle royal. The little mare's nose was in front as they came into view around the bend, and though Axtello fought out every inch of the contest in his honest, steady going style, she kept it there to the *-n<i. beating him barely a head in a most exciting finish. Kingmond. 2*3. a trotter that looks and goes so like Axtello that people are sometime* bothered to tell them apart, was Ptart'd up for the first time this spring by his new owner, Charles Bohlen. His fast work was confined to three friendly brushes with George Ournett, 216**. a newcomer driven by George A. Coleman. Kingmond was al ways in the lead, and looked able to stay there, though Mr. Coleman apparently did not try to beat him. The owner of Kingmond has announced his willingness to brush with any trotter in town on the day of the Speedway parade, and is gradually keying h!s horse up for a supreme, effort on that occasion. George Gurnett is a good looking, bold going, big bay trotter that looks like a notable addition to the army of Speedway flyers. He Is by El Mahdl, a pon of George Wilkes. and he gained his record in last season's campaign. Red Ball, 2:14 H. another trotter new to the Speedway, won several brushes for John Schoon maker, his driver. He defeated the little gray mare Orianna, 2:12 I ,£. in a pretty finish, Benjamin "Walker driving the latter. Axtello at last *>ok the measure of Red Ball, but it was all he could do to beat the 6tranger by a neck.

Cornish's chestnut horse David 8.. 2:09%, in turn. Having defeated these fast ones. Mcßrlde started his bier trotter against Axtello, but was beaten an open length with apparent ease. J. O. has a trotting record of 2:2f<H and a record of 2:22>£ as a pacer. He was going the diagonal gait yester day. and was among the fastest trotters on the. Speedway. David Lamar, who owns one of the largest strings of fast road horses in New-York, had a singularly ■unlncky day with his crack trotters and pacers. He lost nearly every brush, in which he. started.

VANDERBILT MICH PLEASED WITH SUCCESS OF HIS TRIP. The coaching party headed by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt returned to this city yesterday. The coach arrived at fi:4s p. m.. and the members of the party, although slightly drenched with the rain, expressed themselves as highly de liphted with their outing, and intimated that several similar trips would lie made in the near future. The return trip was made over the Merrick Road, which is in good condition at this time. Mr. Vandorhilt was accompanied by Robert L. Gerry, Frederick Kernochan. Delaney Kountz, William Spencer, W. Bayard Cutting, jr., N. F. IsT'lin. Bradish F. Johnson, Frederick Davies and William E. Burden. They made the trip from this city to Mr. Cutting's country place, at Oakdale. Long Island, on Saturday. Sixteen •well matched conch horse? were used In relays on the return trip. Relays were established at Seaford, Hempstead and Jamaica. Only from five to ten minutes' delay occurred at each relay station, when away went horses and coach to the crack of Mr. Vanderbilt's whip and the frequent musical tooting of the coach man's horn. All along the Merrick Road, the old south country road and other places through •which the coach passed a large crowd of Sunday visitors gathered about the coach with much interest, and when the prancing horses started off with a bound cheers greeted the Vanderbilt party until they had disappeared in the dis tance. Several other devotees of coaching will make trips to points on Long Island In the month. HUNT CLUBS TO WIDE IS TOURNAMENT. East Oransre, X. J..

A special commission ha» recently been consid ering the vexed question of the right of domicile accorded to Jews In Siberia After a series of protracted fittings the members of the commission remained much divided, and the matter has now been relegated to the consideration of the Minister of Justice and his departmental committee. It is commonly believed in well informed circles that the result of the ministerial referendum will be a general prohibition against the settlement of Jews and of Jewish commercial and Industrial enter prises in Siberia, except in special and privileged cases, in which the Jew must be furnished with a special permit signed by the Ministers of Finance the Interior and Justice. Such permits are held by Jews in St. Petersburg and Moscow vno have no birthrights in those cities. The min isterial opposition to the settlement of Jews In Siberia is understood to be based on the examples of Odessa and other southern centres, where nearly the whole of the commerce and industry is In He brew liHlllii.

BASEBALL. N. XAm a AUTO." RUN FIRST TRIP TO TJBAVERS ISLAND A SUC CESS—ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY TAKE PART. One of the most successful automobile runs of the season was the first effort made by the mem bers of the New-York Athletic Club yeaterday. The trip was made from the clubhouse. Fifty nfnth-st. and Sixth-aye., to the country club at Travers Island. There wexe thirty-five machines in th* parade, ranging from the light and grace ful runabouts to heavy imported tonueaus. The start was made at 1«> a. m.. and Travers Island was reached by the advance guard an hour later. The run was well conducted, and none of the ma chines were allowed to go ahead of the pace makers. The automobiles seated from two to half a doxen persons each, and carried in all one hundred and sixty enthusiasts. There were no women in the party. Tne weather was delightful In the morning, and the enthusiasts enjoyed their outing immense ly. Dinner wa.s cat. n at the country club with appetites refreshed with the ride through the fresh air. The return trip was made to the city clubhouse in good ore'er, most uf the machines arriving at 4 p. m. The trip was voted a success, and will be repeated. Arrangements are already being made to construct a suitable automobile stable at Travers Island. It will be fitted with an electric recharging apparatus, and gaso'er.e -lupplies will bo on hand when nei-d».'d. No arrangements have been made as yet for the storing of machines at the city clubhouse. A /repair wagon followed the proces sion but it was not much in demand. The rain made the roads slightly miuMy on the return trip, hut the route was over macadamized roads and asphalted streets, and none of the machines were in trouble. lhe route was through the East I>rive of Cen tral Park, up Seventh-aye., through Jerome ave.. to One-hundrtd-and-'-iehty-ninth-st., to Web ster-aye.. to I'ordham.

I'm tired of these Jokes about my connection with monopolies. Tell him not to call me 'trust*" anjr more." GOLP. MONTCLAIB PLAYERS TO EXPERIMENT WITH NOVEL METHODS IN THIS SEASON'S MATCHES. Something new in rolflns methods will b» Intro duced this season at the Montclalr Golf Club. The innovations are the result of considerable schem- Ing on the part of the three men composing the tournament committee. T. T. Reid. James Valen tin© and Paul Wilcox. and will undoubtedly com mend themselves to other local golfers before th« season ends. The first has to do with the method of conducting match play competition?, and pro vides that where sixteen players qualify the one making the lowest score bhail play the first round with the one making the eighth beat score, while the player making the second best score shall head the second division and meet the player who made the sixteenth score, all subsequent drawings being made in like manner. This is regarded by the com mittee as the most impartial way in which to over come the usual difficulties- of the draw and at the same time to insure a continuance of interest to the final round The other change has to do with the club ■ team. and is intended to stimulate a greater rivalry for place* on it. The team is first to be chosen by the committee, but each playr so chosen may be challenged for his position by any other member of the team or by any member of the club w.tmn two strokes of his handicap. He will not be called on. however, to defend his position more than twice within a month, nor mere than twice during the season against any one member. The team will play a more Important part than usual in the duo si season, and a number of good matches have al ready been booked. The more Important of these are: May 10— MontcLilr vs. Baltusrol, at Montclalr. May 17— Montclalr vs. Yountakah. at Montclalr. May 24— Montclair vs. Englewood. at Montclair. . June 14— Montclalr vs. Paterson. at Montclair. June 21— Montclair vs. Yountakah. at Nutley. June 38— Montclair vs. Hillside, at PlainfleUi. The dates of ..une 5. 6 and 7 are reserved for th* New-Jersey State golf championship, and the club's individual championship will be started on October 4. the finals taking place on October 11. There will also be special holiday tournament* on May 30. July 4 and September L WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES. PLAYING SCHEDULE TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON— KEEN RIVALRY WILL. PREVAIL. Mrs. W. Fellowes Morgan, president of the Women's Metropolitan Golf Association, expects to announce within a few days the playing sched ule for both the individual and team championships of the league. The system In force last season will remain practically unchanged, and the Nassau method of scoring will be used throughout the series. In team matches the opposing captains must prepare lists of their teams, arranged in the order of the ability of the players. These lists are to be shown simultaneously before play is begun, and the players are to be paired as named. This last is a new rule, and was adopted to prevent •Jockeying" by captains before the actual lineup. Four women are to appear on each team, and there will be two classes, with it separate series of matches for each. The Essex County team has already been organ ized, under Mrs. Edward K. Sanford a* captain, and will have the services, at least for part of the season, of Miss Genevieve Hecker, the metropolitan champion. Mrs. E. A. Manice. runner up in List year's tournament, will play on the Baltusrol team, and, as she has been in almost constant practice In the Florida tournaments, her game should prove a strong support. Mr?. Manic*- now holds the championship of Southern Florida, a title won hi the recent tournament at Palm Beach. Last year the Essex County and Baltusrot teams tied for first place, the former winning the play-off on the neutral links at Morristown. As there will be practically no change in the makeup of either team this season, the keenest rivalry is likely to prevail All of the former Morris County players will be in the game again, and Dyker Meadow and Nassau are making strong efforts to put them selves on a par with th* others. Baltusrol and Nassau are the favorites for the individual cham pionship Nassau held the tournament last year, so that th« Short Hills club sterns in a fair way to win. Baltusrol will probably hold no open tour nament this spring and its course will therefore be free for the entertainment of the women. OPPOSED TO A JULY CHAMPIONSHIP. CRITICISM OF DATE CHOSEN BY GLENVIEW CLUB — EASTERN CRACKS MAY NOT ENTER. The growing dissatisfaction with the dates <**<w#n for the national amataur championship makes It evident that strong Inducements must be h<*!d out if the Glenvien- Club is to gather in any large proportion of Eastern players. July ms always been an "off" month among the prominent Eastern clubs, and little if any attempt is made to hold tournaments. The expectation that any consider able number of goif-»rs will travel West at that time does not seem to be borne out by previous ex perience, and sharp criticisms are being made over the selection of the date. This criticism Is voiced in "Golf as follows: . It is difficult to understand the selection of a July date for the amateur meeting. After that aw ful week at Garden City there is bur one opinion : on the subject— that never again should the cham ; pionship be held In the heated term. Why was* this general feeling disregarded by the committee? I? It on account of the rolleg'? entries' It seems ridiculous to make the comfort of the whole srolnns: world .Impend upon the convenience of a special cla«s The college players can always find time and opportunity to enter athletic contests in term time, if it pleases hem to do so. There may be some other reason for the selection of a date so manifestly distasteful to *he majority of players, but whit can it be? Surely Chicago is not going to put up a guarantee against th» ap pearance of a hot wave, and we all know what a " scorcher means in the Windy City. GLEN RIDGE LINKS OPENED. Glen Ridge. N. J..
