THE TWO BOARDS AT WORK ALUERHKN AM ADVIaORs AT THF. OLD STAND. Reports and RccomineiinalloiiH l'roiu Varlona Coinmllteea spc clal Heelinics To Be Held Next Tneaday and Thnradav. Advisor McCollutn and Alilernico Jones and J. M. Gudj?cr were the absentees from the meeting f tlic Joint Board yesterday afternoon. The two latter were out of the city ou their lcjal bus iness. Mayor Patton stated to the Hoard that Capt. Thos. V. Johnston had pro posed, concerning the Church street sidewalk on the west side between Centrnl church a .id Patton avenue, that he would give the land for a six-foot walk provided the city would relieve him of his assessments on the brick paving and sidewalk in iront of his property on that street. The proposi tion was accepted on motion of Advisor Sawyer, and by the same motion the jury which will go on that street next week was instructed to find in accord ance with the proposition of Capt. Johnston. This settlement of the matter will amount to paying Capt. Johnston about $450 for the land. Advisor Sawyer was instructed to consult with Capt. Johnston and liaye the proper agreement drawn up. Slrcel coninilttee. Advisor Gwyn made a report for the street committee, in which he staled that the committee had replaced the side walks on Starues avenue and Cherry street, and had the brick paving on Church street resumed. J. D. Henderson and one ol his teams had been employed at $4 a day for street work, and 1. C. Oaird had been similarly employed at $2 a dav. The fence on Mr. Gwyn's Grove street property had been reset bv the city, as heretofore ordered. It was rec ommended that West Collcee. at Ad visor Millard's property , be graded and the banks sloped, that the curbing on Woodfin and Charlotte streets be set as soon as practicable, and that regulation sidewalks be put down as early as possi ble on streets where curbing has been set, provided property owners do not want a costlier walk. The committee wished further time for report as to the contract or the paving of College street bv Webb, Oatcs, Uskridge & Co., and as to dam ages to property of Miss Raven Lewis on Bailey street. On motion of Advisor Gwyn, the grading of West College, and the setting of curl) on Woodfin street was ordered done. Mr. Gwvn also moved that the curbing contract for Charlotte street be given to Coin & Troy, but Alderman Starncs informed mm that this firm already has a contract for curbing this street. A request lor a retaining wall at Mrs. E, Sluder's nrouertv on NorLh Mnin street was refered to the street committee. CSIveii Aulliorliv. The street committee reported these recommendations: That it be empow ered to have put down crushed stone walks where curbing has been set (pro-j vided property owners wish this kind of walk); to employ hands and material to run the rock crusher; to omit, in the committee's discretion, the pitch in tended to be used in the regulation side walks, and to reoort as to the c-osf rf a hand or one-horse roller to be used in making sidewalks. Alderman Starncs objected to what he thought was dele gating too much power outside of the uoara proper. The two clauses last named were then stricken out anil tho report was adopted. The city engineer's report on Webb, Oatcs, Hskridge & Co.'s paving on Iat ton avenue was referred to the street committee. Like disoosition was in.irie of a request lor damages to Mrs. A. L. Wiley's property by the grading of Park avenue, and a request from A. Rankin that he be reimbursed for resetting fence, sloping and sodding banks, etc., on v-utrry scree1:. WhalThejMl Have to Jv. City Ungineer Lcc submitted a report showing the total cost of paving on lcpot street, Patton avenue and South Main street. Property owners along the two first named will he atuu-siw about $3.75 a front foot, while South main street owners will be assessed something like $4.62 a front foot. The report was sent to the finance commit tee. Clerk Young reported the contracts existing at present in which the city is interested and his rejjort was referred to the street and waterworks committees. The finance committee was instructed to investigate the claim of back pay made by Mr. Israel, a granite paver under A. M. Smith, and who asked that $100 be retained from Smith's estimate until the settlement of the question. Will del NothlDK Here.

OF A. mit to erect a stable on his property on Chestnut street was granted. The (street Railway. Lewis Maddux, receiver of the Asbcvillc Street Railway company and the Ashe ville Light and Power company, sub mitted a proposition to the effect that he would agree to allow the question ol a settlement between the city and bis companies to Mayor Patton and Jno. P. Arthur, and agreeing to abide bv the decision of the referees, his action Iteing subject to approval, of course, by the United States court. Mr. Wcstall moved the acceptance of the proposition. Mr. Starnes offered a substitute provid ing that the finance committee take the matter in hai.d and report. Mr. Westall withdrew his motion, Mr. Starncs changed his substitute to a motion and it passed. Mr. Maddux asked permission to build a line from the present road on Valley street to the gas works, and to extend the Valley street line to the power house of the company. This went to the street committee. The Police akiiIu. Alderman Cosby read the report of the police committee, which recited that the committee is undecided as to the exact term of office of the present members of the police force, owing to a conflict in dates and the fact that the new law was not known of in time to admit of the carrying out thereof. The report also said that the committee felt certain, from its acquaintance with the men who have been on the lorce for the past two years, that their self-respect will induce them to resign. It was recommended that further action in this matter be deferred to Thursday afternoon, June 1, at 4 o'clock, when a special meeting will be held, and when the Board will decide what action is best to be taken. Mr. Starncs junicd on the report and said that if any member of the force had oflended he should lie brought before the body and tried fairly and squarely. He regarded the committee's report as the next thing to a threat. Mayor Patton told Mr. Starncs that there was no in tention to insinuate against any member of the police, and that he did not believe any officer would take advantage of a technicality and remain on the force. On motion of Alderman II. Lamar Gudger the report of the committee was adopted, Mr. Starncs alone voting no. The resignation of Chief Police Mc Dowcll was read and accepted, to take effect when his successor is elected. Mayor Patton thanked the Chief for agreeing to serve uutil an election is held. Patrolman N. A. Collins followed the example set by his chief, and his resigna tion was accepted to take effect on the day of election of his successor. On Flnaiice. The finance committee submitted an extensive report concerning certain notes held against the city, and the tax collec torship. The notes held by the banks of Ashcvillc were ordered renewed at 8 per cent, interest from May 1. The commit (.Continued on second page.) P MKMORIAI. IIAL.I..

First KaclDK t'nder The Auaplcci or Tne Hwnunanoa Hunt Club Jo tin . PleaHanlH 'Winner In Tne BIcicle Run. The Swannanoa Hunt club inaugu rated the summer racing season yester day at Carrier's track with a card of a half dozen lively events sind managed the affair to the satisfaction of the patrons and with credit to the organization. After 2 o'clock all cars to the depot from town were jammed with racegoers and at the track the crowd filled the grand stand and a good number took in the sport from carriages in the field. The ladies became greatly interested as the animals briskly cantered the course and and in the close running were quite as enthusiastic as their escorts. The Great Western band occupied a portion of the grand stand, with Fred Hull waving the baton, and between the acts played good music so good indeed that ' the query was raised "Where did you get that band ?" The condition of the track has been greatly improved since last year, and with a little more attention of the same sort, future meetings will undoubtedly lower yesterday's time. The promptitude of the judges kept the aids in a hustle and tlio program was run without annoying delays and com pleted in time for everybody to get home by dark. At half past three the bovs with the bikes were calllcd to draw for positions and rode to the line with Fulenwider inside. Sawyer 2, Henderson 3, Rich 4 and Pleasant got the fence. The betting was on Pleasant and Sawyer, and when the start was made the favorites took the lead with Pleasant in front. Half way around the leader lcnt down to win and Gene Sawyer's broad shoulders came to a level with a like end in view: but "Long Johu" was iicver headed and will wear the first trophy of Ashevillc's Cycling club, won in a half mile spin in the good time, considering the track, of 1.15. The line came in: Sawyer, Fulenwider. Rich and Henderson. I "leas ant's machine was a model 32 Columbia, tO pound, gear G2; Sawyer rode a 27 Columbia, 54-, geared G7; Fulenwider a 32 Columbia, 30, geared 62; Rich a Clcvelaud 32. geared T0. and Henderson a Columbia, 4-0, G2. Moody was an en try, but met with a mishap on the road down that broke his Cleveland and kept him out of the race. The first racing ot the horses began in the club hurdle of a mile, with the starters, McClosky's "Maud," Ceph Blanton's "Smoky Mountain." and Bat tle's "Celie." The jumpers took the pines in splendid style and Bridgers with "Celie" made two of the leaps with dangling stirrups, but the mare rattled the top ol the hurdle on the curve and before the recovery was made Bridgers' heels were in the air and the plucky rider lit in the dust. First money went to Ceph and "Maud" got second. Time, 2:37. The trotting race, mile beats, best two in three, held "Daisy," driven by her owner, George Henderson; Frank O'Don ncll's"Dick" by Richmond, and Cham bers & Weaver's "Frank" with Bud Buchanan in the sulky. The mare was the favorite and led at the half, but a break when almost a sure winner lost the heat to Frank in 3:24; "Dick" a poor third. The second beat went to the same horse in 3:2(5, "Daisy" second. All the entries faced the starter in the running mile, and Miss Woolsev's thor oughbred "Backsheesh." with Miller up in jockey garb, was cheered as he danced the track. "Simpson's "Bob" had the odds and little Phifer's known skill in the sad lie gave color of wisdom to the choice. Mr. Wright got the horses off in a good line and the first shouts went up as "Minnehaha" bolted the track at the upper turn. It was a see-saw race to the linal quarter, when Hollingsworth lifted Charlie Stikelcather's Fannie" out of the string and sprung the surprise of the day by winning with ease in 2:21. "Bob" was second, "Backsheesh" third, E. T. Wright's "Peacock" fourth and W. V. Reynolds' "Miunehaha" last. I'hifer claimed a font by Miller and in less time than it takes to tell it the iudges had their hands full, but the decision disal lowed the claim. The pony race was theltcst of the day. The event had in it Miss Woolsey's "Cherokee," Pete Sevier's "Beeswax." and Doctor Battle's "Tibbits." with the latter at the rail. The eaerer vountrsters cut their ponies loose on the first attempt io gci away and tne ragged start tailed to bring them back. The race was an inspiriting one and the boys came home witn tailing whips. Before the judges announced the result the track filled up with earnest talkers and everybody picked the winner. The judges said "Tibbits" first and "Beeswax" two, and the fire broke out in a flame. Colonel Woolsey claimed the race for "Cherokee," but the judges ruled for another "go," and the Colonel withdrew "Backsheesh" and the black pony from further racing. While the ponies rested and their ad mirers cooled off the whistle blew for the final jumping, and "Celie" and "Smoky Mountain" left the nost for a hrnuriful exhibition of clean and speedy leaps. The glossy mare led the way and won, in spite of her jockey's pull from the track, in 2:31. The da V closed with the nrrfnirnanrr of the ponies, and Mr. McNamec went into the stand in place of Dr. Battle. Pete Sevier had blood inhiseve and Tom Doggett on the Rattle nag scorned a proffered spur. The little fellows felt the heat of their seniors as they gripped the bridles and got away with "Pete" at the rail. The race was a drive from the quarter and "Tibbits" won from the white-stockinged sorrel in 1:04, when tne crow a made a break tor the cars. The iudirca were Dr. S. W. Rattle. Col I. G. Martin and 13. d'Alinge. George E. Kirkman was an efficient aid, D. V. Wright the starter and J. II. Stelling kept the score. J. J. McCloaky managed things generally and everybody voted Mac ana tne meeting a great success. GRANT'S PHARMACY!
