SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. * EW YORK, Oct. 16.— The Harbor Hill cup, the first stake eVent of the racing season for 3-year-old - steeple chasers, was the principal attraction at Belmont Park this afternoon. A field of nine faced the barrier, of which T. S. Martjn was a well-pldyed choice at odds of 7 to 5. He ran true to form and galloped home a winner with plenty of margin. He went to the front right after the start and soon had a 'safe lead on his field. He maintained this advantage throughout and won easily by three lengths from Sanctus. which was second all the way. St. Kelvin fin ished third, fifteen lengths a.way. Harp Play fell at the last jump. Running Water, held at 7 to- 5, won the Ramapo handicap for 3-year-olds. She carried her heavy burden of 121 pounds easily, and, finishing with su perb sameness, won by a half length. Hot Toddy was the best of the others, and had little trouble in getting second honors. Xealon ran an Improved race and captured third money, beating Guiding Star. Record-breaking performances con tinue to be a daily occurrence at Bel mont Park. Today Higginbotham. with eighty-nine pounds up and Garner 5n the saddle, won the third event, a flve-furlong dash, negotiating the dis tance In :58 2-5, which beats Lfce record for the course by three-fifths of a sec ond.

PATRON AND OF EASTERN STAR Grand Chapter Spends the Whole Day in Electing Leading Officers of Order The Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star was occupied yester day with the special order, which was the election of grand offlcers who are to serve for the ensuing Eastern Star year. .\u25a0 : -' : '- vv ''\u25a0\u25a0- When the time came for election there were three candidates for the office of grand patron and ten for the office of grand matron, the greatest number for the latter office in the his tory of the order. The choice for grand patron came in the nature of a surprise, J. C. Wood of Ocean View Chapter of Caspar, Mendocino County, being' elected. The election for grand matron fol lowed, but before I a ballot was taken several of the candidates' withdrew. On the first ballot there was no choice, on the second Mrs. An&a . D. Dudderar of La Paloma Chapter of Covlna, Los An geles County, came within thirty-eight votes of a majority, so a third ballot had to be taken and on that one Mrs. Dudderar won by a flattering majority. At a late hour the session was ad journed and the election of the other oncers was made the order for this morning. The Indications are that Mrs. Peter Hickie, past -matron of Mission Chapter, will be chosen associate grand matron. There will possibly be a con test for the other offices.
