14 OLD COLLINS FOOLED THEM Developed Lameness in ° His Preliminary, but Won Cleverly. Four Favorites Failed to Navi gate Through the Sloppy Going, v "Mocorito in Front at Good Odds. George Lee Finished First in the Mile Handicap. It often happens that lame horses prove very remunerative ones to bacK. Buch was the case with Collins, a starter In the mile and a sixteenth selling run J at Ingles'de yesterday. The brown gelding opened equal choice in the bet ting with Souffle, but in his preliminary gallop showed signs of lameness, and the crowd soured on him. Even his owner. Dr. Rowell. was compelled to pass him up. and so informed the judges. Souffle was then rapidly played down to 4 to 5. Receding to 5 to 2, j Collins went out in front, with Jones ' on his back, and was never headed, j winning cleverly from Little Cripple. ! To make matters still worse for his owner. Al Smith, the owner of Little Cripple, boosted the winner $300 over hie entered selling price of $400. The favorites were in good demand throughout the afternoon, but played in hard luck, two of them only managing to finish in front. The track was still sloppy, which proved beneficial to the peg-legged division. In the rush to get aboard Ezell's Oc turuck in the opening five and one-half furlong sprint for maiden three-year olds, the other starters were over looked. Mocorito, an Bto 1 choice, rid den by Eddie Jones, led all the way, winning, ridden out, from the second choice, Aprona, with Sloan in the sad dle. Octuruck, backed from threes down to 8 to 5 favoritism, was away from the post badly and ran unplaced. With Mercutlo, Harry Thoburn an<l Greyhurst scratched from the mile purse event. Geyser went to the post a 1 to 3 chance, and won, under re straint, from Orimar. Red Glenn eas ily took the show from Devil's Dream. Roulette Wheel, with Thorpe in the saddle, took the second five and one half furlong scramble at odds of 3 to 1. Flandes was sent to the post favorite. Xiihau, a 30 to 1 shot, gave the Wheel a hard rut at the end, but Thorpe final ly got her over the winner by less than a length. The favorite was an indif ferent third. Caldwell's bungling work with the ! barrier at the start in the mile handi cap contributed to the defeat of the 7 to 5 favorite, Fonsovannah, with Thorpe up. With half of the bunch pulling up | the starter pulled the lever, and the chances of Fonsovannah were ruined by colliding with Los Prietos. Blarney stone, away first, led to the stretch, j where Sloan, on the Corrigan entry a«»- ! sumed the lead, winning, hard ridden i at the wire from Bonita. Old Refugee was a 1 to 2 chance for the final six furlong affair, and only ! won by the narrowest of margins. Pat Murphy hooked up with him in the stretch, and in a hard drive was beaten out but a short head. Don Fulano away badly to a straggling start, ran a great race, finishing a good third Track Items. Refuse was given a "hoist" in the last race. The old sprinter was entered to be sold for $500 and was bid up to $800 by Fremont Sloan His owner retained him with the customary *5 The attention of owners, Is called to the fact that the stakes of the Saratoga Racing Asso ciation close with Secretary B.

Police Department and Liquor-Deal ers Occupy the Attention of the Charter Framers. The charter framers devoted last even ing's session to the consideration of the Police Department and the governing of the liquor question. Section 1, which provided for four Com missioners and the Chief to make the fifth, was defeated, and after consider able debate the section was amended to have but three Commissioners — one to re tire every year after the first appoint ment. This provision will make it im possible for any one Mayor to have the appointment of more than one Commis sioner during his term. The age at which officers are to be ap pointed to the force was raised from 21 to 25 at the request of Freeholder Sachs, who argued that a man at the age of 21 lacked sufficient judgment to discriminate , as to the power of his duties. It is made compulsory upon every mem ber of the force, including the Commis sioners, to reside in the city and county. • and also to refrain from taking any part in politics. The sessions of the Commis- | sioners must be public, and all votes must \ be cast as "yes" and "no," with a record : kept of such votes, the same to be open ] to public inspection. The section dealing with the liquor I question was adopted as follows: "To grant permits to all persons desir- ! ing to engage in the sale of liquor in less ! quantity than one quart, and to revoke ; any such permit when it shall appear to , the board that the business of the person ! to whom such permit was given is con- i ducted in a disorderly or improper man ner. If the board refuse to grant such j permit, or propose to revoke any permit j that has been granted, the person who is refused such permit, or whose permit it la proposed to revoke, shall be entitled to i be heard before the board in person, or j through counsel, and to have, free of charge, all reasonable facilities for the hearing on his right to have or retain i such permit. It shall not be lawful for | any person to sell liquor in less quantity than one quart in the city and county j without the permit hereby provided for. j Such permits must not be granted for ; more than three months at one time, and they shall distinctly state the name of the person to whom the same is given I and the description of the premises where I such business is to be carried on. Such I permits shall at all times be subject to ! inspection by any member of the depart ment. Complaints to revoke permits granted by the board must be in writ ing, signed by the person making the same and filed with the clerk of the board; and a copy thereof certified by the clt-rk must be served upon the party complained against at least five days be- j fore the time set for the hearing of the i complaint." The term of the Chief was fixed at four j years, during whii h period he cannot be j removed, except for cause. The strength of the force was fixed at ; one to every 500 inhabitants according to j the returns of the United States census. Test Opium Case. Lee Chow, a merchant in Chinatown, was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out in Judge Low's court by Li cense Collector Bonnet, for selling more opium than is permitted by law. He was released on his own recognizance. This has been brought as a tfst case.

CUTTING DOWN LIGHT EXPENSES Supervisors Trying to Prevent a Big Deficit in Funds. The City Hall Departments Must Be More Careful in Future. Gas Inspector Taylor May Be Called Upon for an Explana tion. The finance committee of the Board of Supervisors has decided to adopt rigid measures to prevent the threat ened shortage in the city finances. Supervisor Rottanzi, chairman of the finance committee, held a conference yesterday with Supervisor Kivers. chairman of the street lights commit tee, in reference to stopping the unnec essary use of gas in the City Hall. This item of expense amounts to about $2250 per month, and has caused certain offi cials a disturbance of mind for years past. It is known that in certain offi ces gas in large quantities is used where there is no necessity for the il luminant, and that if proper supervi sion over the matter were exercised the bills for gas could be materially re duced. The fact that gas is burned continu ally in the sub-basement of the City Hall has been a matter of comment to those who have supervision over the city finances, and numerous efforts have been made to stop the leak. Un til the present time, however, no prog ress has been made. The two supervis ors called on the Chief of Police yes terday to ascertain whether it was nec essary to keep numerous gas jets burn ing in the shooting gallery of the po lice department. The Chief was ncrt aware that such was the practice, and promised to look into the matter at his earliest opportunity. Tax Collector Block was also seen and asked to look into the use of gas in his office. It had been represented to- the committee that gas was burped there as late as 11 o'clock in the morning, when daylight should have answered all purposes. The report of the Board of Supervis ors will probably call attention to the fact that Gas Inspector Taylor, former ly a member of the board, has not at tended strictly to his duties, and that gas has been permitted to burn in the street lamps at times when the board had decided economy demanded that they be shut off. It is expected that by curtailing expanses in this direction nearly $1000 per month will be saved by the city government. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. George Hutison to Mrs. F. R.
