Mr. Henry P. Burger, tho superintendent of Wecbsler said on behalf of that firm: We think favorably of tho proposition, and if the dry goods trade is unanimous on tho question wo Khali be glad to give our employes the proposed holiday. It certainly could bo done without much sacrifice, since it is now our established custom to close at 1 P.

M. during July and Augnst. Only half a day would bj lost by the ar raiiEomont. A doci. uon should be arrived at at once, so that tho public can bo informed and customers will not bo inconvenienced.

"Whatever the other firms iu tho trado make their pleasuro.it will be ours," he remarked. "Whatever liberality they show we will equal. Personally I'm in favor of it, and willing to do anything I can to forward it.

Mr. Albort Ammorman, ropresouting tho Cow pcrthwait company, said: "I am certainly in favor of closing ou Saturday, the 5 th, aud had about mado up my miud to do so whether anyone elfie did so or uot."

Carroll, who presided, while a large gooseberry reposed in each guest's goblet, hidden in the folds of tho napkin. When the wine and cigars went round President Carroll delivered an address of Welcome, in Which he eulogized their guest, Mr. James White.

HO also stated that since the last meeting he was sorry to say that the original gooseberry, Frank Curran, had passed away, but he hoped that In Mr. Whito thoy would find another Curran. Ho then asked tho company to rise and loin him in drinking to the future health and long life of thoir hoiwed guest. The whole party arose aud ng: "For lie's a jolly good fellow." Mr. White returned thanks for tho honor conferred on him, and was followed by tho Rev.

J. A. B. Brosnan, who said, among other things, that during tho paBt week he thought of nothing, dreamed of nothing bat gooseber ries. He thon payed a compliment to Mr, Whito, saying that there waa nothing small about him except his feet, and after playing upon the word gooseberry for somo timo, iu which he told tho old chestnut about tho Irishman who was told by tho judge to choose tho mode of death he preferred, without hesitation selected to bo hung on a gooseberry bnsh.

Byrne's Bridegrooms Slake a First Ap penrnnce Before a Chicago Audience and Give an Indifferent Exhibition. Ward's Wonders Whipped.

The Brooklyn Bridegrooms made their firBt ap pearance in Chicago yesterday undor rather unfavorable cironmstanceB, as the weathor throaty ened rain and it affected the attendance materfc ally. There was a first class assemblage, however, on the grand stand, who watched tho Brooklyns with much interest, and they applauded Tom Daly when he went to the bat. Among those ou the stand wore relatives or ditcher uarutners, and they had littlo occasion to feol proud of him, as his kicking against tho decisions of the umpire on called balls and strikes was as bad as that of that chronic kickor, Anson. Hutchinson waa in tho box for Chicago, and Foutz was the only batsman or tho visiting team who hit him to advantage. David got two hits, both sending iu runs.

O'Brieji and ColhnB each made a single hit, but neither Bent in a run. Not a base on balls, a wild pitch or hitting the batsman waa charged to Hutchinson, his command of the ball being a featnro of hia pitching, while ho Btruck out six of hiB batting opponents. In fact, it was his pitching which saved the game, as not ono of Brooklyn's runs was earned. Tho homo team was the first to score, a two bagger, a sacrifice and a single hit earning one run and Smith's wild throw giving another in the third inning, and errors by Pinknoy and O'Brien yielding a ran in the fourth. On tbo other side in this inning a hit by O'Briou and Fontz's safe hit sent in ono run, and a wild throw in from tho field on Fontz's hit lot in two additional rnns.

In the Bixth inning a wild throw gave Pinknoy a life, and on Burns' sacrifice he got to Becond, Fontz'a safe hit sending him home. This gave the lead to Brooklyn by 4 to 3. In the soventh inning, however, Chicago rallied at the bat and got in three runs on a wild throw and a hit, and after that run getting ceased and tho homo team finally camo in victors by to i in runs, 5 to 4 in base hits and 4 to 5 in errors. Tho featuro of tho game was Cooney'a work at short, he accepting six difficult chances without an error. Wilmot and Earle also played well for the homo club.

Kittridge, the. club's regular catcher, has sore hands, and Nagle wont behind the bat and did good work. The play of tho visitors was sharp and at times brilliant. Pinkney and Smith bad four errors between them, but that was the snin total of their mia plays. Foutz played brilliantly, aB did Burns and Collins.

The Fanlts of the Present County and Municipal Administrations Held Up for Condemnation Experts to Inspect tlio St. JoSinlaiid Reservoir. The torrid condition of th.6 atmosphere not withstanding tho June meeting of tho Nineteenth ward taxpayers' association in Garfield hall on Marcy avenue, last evening, was more than usually well atteudod.

Mr. Henry A. Stono presided. Colonel J. W.

Jones said that until the tax levying percentage should have reached its highest altitudo it did uot seem worth whilo to talk to tho property owners about reducing taxation. During several campaigns he had piled figures on figures to show how unreasonably taxes had been increased, but taxpayers still voted for the men who wero responsible for putting theso burdens upon them, and for men who had oven voted to increaso their own salaries and not only to increase their 3alarios, but to increase the number of salaried officers to au ex tont out of all proportion to the increase of population and the extent of public improvements. The taxpayers ought to tako notico of this, the colonel added, but thoy didn't; but moved along supinely, while taxes wero accumulating. A Democrat recently aked him if lui was not in favor of having Brooklyn annexed to New York, Baying that by doing bo taxos would bo reduced and we should get nearer to the heart of the great metropolis. ''Yes," he (Colonel Jones) answered, "and nearor to Brooklyn was overtaxed already; property owners were assessed 70 per cent, on their property and 3 per cent, on that again.

Tho Equitablo and other insuranoe companies, as a consequence, wero refusing loaus on Brooklyn property, and then every real estato transaction consistod in reviewing old mortgages whioh they already held. Thoro was no reason why the mayor's salary should have been increased at one stroke from $0,000 to 11 0,000. If the emolument was taken from the office there were plenty of wealthy citizens, any ono of whom would bo willing to oompoto for tho position for tho honor of it. Beth Low receivod but $0,000 and he never grumbled. Had Colonel Baird been elected mayor, the speaker (lid not think thai any persons would have rushed up lo Albany to havo his salary increased from $0,000 to 10,000.

To justify such measures tlie extravagant claim was made that the city's population was now over Speaking of recent improvements tho colonel said that some of tho best thoroughfares in the city were unpaved. The pavement 011 Leo avenuo was shameful, while in out of the way places, whero tho streets wero not half built upon, thoro woro fine pavements. Those were matters to ohallongo the attention of tho taxpayers. But ho should talk very littlo henooforth abont taxes. He preferred that some ono else now should suggest some method by whioh tho taxpayers might bo aroused.

Mr. William J. MillH said he saw that the million dollar sewer schomo for the roliof of the flooded district was going to bo carried out after all. By a very cunning trick tho mayor staved it off till aftor tho election. He, Mr.

Mills, remarked that the Greene avenue property owners threatened, 111 caso that project was resolved on, to dofoat his candidacy, bocauso it would destroy tho vnluo of thoir property. But now tho elec. tion was past and tho sharks wantod the project carried out. The proposed sower could not re liovo tho district. Why not then como out honestly and acknowledge that tho project was only intended to benefit tho contractors Ho, the speaker, was satisfied to hnvo the grade of Flushing avenuo raised, though it cost him $300 to raiso bis honso two feet to Correspond.

He assured the authorities before the work was undertaken that the rais ing of Hushing avonne, whilo benefiting that thoroughfare, would not relievo the flooded district. During rain storms now tho water which used to boil out in Flushing avenue boiled out in Leo avenuo aud the adjoining streets. Ho was satisfied that the million dollar sower would now be built and ho was also satisfied that during tho next heavy rain storm aftor its completion thero would bo the samo overflow in tho flooded district which had always followed a rain storm. If it was only possible to got up a bin schemo re qiurmsr tho expenditure of $1,000,000 for tho relief of tho district in the only way in which it could bo relieved, Mr. Mills continued, tho work would bo quickly done, but au appropriation of $50,000 (all that was really necessary) had no attraction for the speculators.

Colonol Jones Whero will the proposed sower begin and where will it end 1 Mr. Mills It will begin with a million of dollars and it will end in nothing. Laughter and ap plauo.l It will begin somewhere on tho hill and terminate in Buttermilk ehannol, and there will, I suppose, bo an automatic forco pump to raiso tho water from the flooded district to the hill. Konewed laughter. Colonel Jonas Baid that peoplo clown abr nt Buttermilk channel were complaining that the channel had already coat too much and that they would be opposed to the Bewor debouching down thero.

Mr. Mills said that the only thing needed for the relief of tha district was a proper storm sowor with an outlet at the head of tho Wallabout creek. The Crescent watch company was suing the city for $85,000 damages, and already Mr. Lenharthad recovered 80,000 and another occupant of the same biiildiug $1,000. Tho building of a atoriu sower would save the city all this, Mr.

Christian Muuslcr alrto spoke in favor of a storm sewer, and concluded by saying that if such wero not provided, soino of those days wo will bo drowned like rats if wo don't swim out. Mr. Mills said he saw by tho papers that Freel's bill for the final paymont for the work done on tho bt. Johnlaud reservoir had been presonted to tho board of supervisors, and had boon by them referred to tlie board of charities for examination, it being nocCSBarv for the latter board to accept it before payment, and that the chairman of tho board of chanties had expressed satisfaction with tho work and with the bill, from whioh it followed of course that tho bill was going to bo paid. Ho.

tho speakor, did not find fault with this, but ha thought that tho tax payers should have somothiug to say, and the right thing to do was to have throo gontlemen of the association go down to St. Jobuland thoy might as well spend a few holidays thero as anywhere else eeo for themselves nud roport their experience us to matters done there, iio moved, therefore that the chair appoint a committee of three to visit St. Johnland, examine the work done there aud report at the next meeting of tho association whether thoy fool as favorable as aro tho Buporvlsors and the chairman of tho board of charities to tho payment of the bill for the work on tho reservoir, anil that tho Eaole aud other journals bo requested to send roportors to accompany tho committee. Mr. John H.

Cordes said that tho now reservoir was a farce something iu tho nature of a mud pio built by tho children. Wheu ho Baw it recently thoro was not enough water in it to furnish a Oath for a sparrow; it was doubtrul whether it would hold much more. The motion was carried unanimously, and, on the chairman announcing that he would tako time to appoint his committee, tho meeting, on motion, adjourned to tho cool external air.

Utfony to tttrlegVifoa A War on Water in of Islip.

the Town The Loadioff Citizens Going to Law to Break a Contract Eennion of the Huntington High School iluniui Convention of Christian Endeavor Societies. Probably no townspeople wero ever stirred np over a contract with a corporation as the citizens of Islip aro over the agreement made by the town officers with tho Great South bay, water company. The manner of making it was the first objection, and at tho next town meeting ovsry offi cer who sought re eleotion wa3 bnned under joo majority. For the first time in its history the town, which is strongly Republican, has a Democratic government. Beveugo at the polls has not satisfied tlie people.

They propose now to smash the contract if they can do so through tho courts. They claim that they should have been permitted to voto for and against tho approval of tho contract, juBt aB tho people of Jamaioa did, but they wero not only denied this privilege, but woro practically kept in ignoranoe of tbo fact that the' contract was to be oxeented. That the people mean business may bo oasily inforred wheu it is stated that the proposed lawsuit to annul the contract is backed by Hiich wealthy and prominent gentlemen as William Nicoh Colonel William Ludlow, William K. Vauderbilt and Mr. Wood, A good many peoplo who aro iu favor of tho town having a substantial water Bupply want to 830 the existing conditions npset and a new contract entered into.

Another element want the agreement set aside, as under it they are taxed but are deniea the benefits of water for fire or any other par pose. The Great Sonth bay water company agreed to lay in tho principal streota twenty throo mileB of pipes, varying in sizo from 4 to 10 inches, and to erect 200 fire hydrants at Buch points as the town designate. For every additional hydrant the town is to pay an annual rental of $30. The company is to erect ono hydrant in each of the four villages for public use, but no porson ia to carry water away from it. Tho company is lo erect buildings and put iu pumps capable of delivering of water in every twenty four hours.

The rates to private consumers were to be as follows, and this is what the biggest kick is ovor: For eaoh dwelling or tonomont oooapiod by ono family, for iirHt fiiucot Each additional faucet For eaoh dwnlling or tonomont witn futures inside, occupied by throe Tfrt onn.fpr TinmhOr Of 0 810.00 2.00 25.00 Bcpnrftt occupants, saoh rate as my bo flioilby 1D.B directors 'i'nn One set wbbIi tubs, not oicooding three OO Boarding honsos $2n and upward 50 and upward Store, offices, warehouses, markets, shops and 815 and upward PiiotoBrapb galleries 8SS'nR Harbor shops ZXn liath ttibnin privato dwellings, eaoh liath tubs in boardine bousos, each IU.UU Bath tuba In hotels and public bath rooms, eaoh S0'00 Water and urinals in privato dwotl lns, each 5.00 Water closets and urinals in boarding houses, each 10.00 Water closets and nrlnalo in hotols and public saloons, each 20.00 Garden or lawn sprinklers ana upward Street washers for 40 feet front, or 8.00 Htreot washor, if ovor 40 feot. for additional foot JL Bakories 30 00 Kor 10 horse power, or under $8 per horso power Above 10 ho power 0 per horso power Private stablcB for ono ov two horsos 10.00 Private stables, for additional horso 3.00 Livery stables, for each horse 6.00 Cow stables, for one or two cows 10.00 Cow Btables, for each additional cow 3.00 The town officers bound tho town to pay the company $0,000 per year for firo service, being the interest on $100,000 at 0 per and it is claimed that the plant complete would not oost over Willia.u Nicoll, representing the gentlemen ko propose to attempt to have tlie contract broken, has consulted Lawyer George A. Black, of Now York, and obtained his opinion relative to tho validity of the contract. He says: The statute of 1889, under which this contract was made, chapter 307, section which amend chapter 122 of the laws of 1885, which amended chapter 737 of tho laws of 1873, contemplates that the authorities should havo power to make a contract for a specific purpose, which ia named in tho statute the languago boiiyj that certain "authorities of any town shall havo power, and they are hereby anthorized and empowered to so contract in the name and behalf of tho town of which they are at tho timo of makine such contract such authorities, jr the delivery by Buch company of water, through hydrants or otherwise, for tho extinguishment of fires and for sanitary and other purposes." This is the motive of the statute, mid is the limit of the power of tho town authorities. A careful examination of the contract shows that it has boon utterly lost Bight of iu its preparation.

There is no agreement on the part of any water company for tho delivery by such company of water through hydrants or otherwise for the extinguishment of fires or for sanitary or other public purposes. Tho water corapauy agrees to erect water works and lay twenty three miles of pipe, and to erect 200 fire hydrants on the line of sttch pipes, the same to bo used for extinguishment of fires only, and all reasonable exhibitions and practice by tho fire department and fire companies of the town. This provision might as well bo made with a manufacturing company, who would agree to lay a pipe and furnish the hydrants for a rental nothing is said about furnishing wator and maintaining a supply of "ouro and wholospnie water" as contemplated by tho act. There is a provision by which tho wator company agrees to supply all that section of the town east of tho break if it happened that the pipe between Islip and Sayville bo not continuous) with water from the water workB at Patehogue, so long aB tho break ia maintained but thiB is no provision for the delivery of wator as required by the terms of the act. Thero is also a provision that the company will erect a drinking fountain in the four villagos named and that no water shall ne carried away in vessels therefrom but this docB not bind tho company to furnish any supply of water.

The contract also provides that steam generators of a capacity sufficient to work pumps to their maximum, and for erecting a pump liouso and iron stand pipe, Bhall be furnished, all to bo completed during the year 1890, and that the rental shall commence aif soon as water is let into tho pipes and hydrants ready for use but ub provision is made for maintaining and delivery of water during the twenty yoars of the contract, nor for a suspension of tho rental for a failure to deliver. In fact, the contract seems to have been carefully drawn with a view to exclude the contracting water company from any liability oxcopt to furnish water works, and no provision whatever is found in it for a supply of water for such uses as are contemplated by the Btatute. It would seem to mo a clear abuso of tbo power granted to hold the town bound by such a contract. I have considered tho question suggested by Mr, Wood's letter as to compensation to be paid tbo highway commissioners, and have no doubt, if tho facts are as ho states them, that it, also, would fnrnish a good ground for Betting aeido tho contract. Authorities on this last branch of the case are quite numerous.

I havo not gone into any consideration of the best method to proceed to have tho contract declared void, not doeming that matter submitted to me for my opinion. Tho provision respecting the compensation to bo paid the highway commissioners, referred to by Counselor Black as a ground for setting aside the contraot, is as follows: Said pipes aud hydrants to bo located within thirty days by said town authorities and in caso of their default tho company may locate the same the services of said highway oommiBBioners to bo paid for by said company. In Baying that providing compensation for tho highway commissioners works a nullification Mr. Black undoubtedly has reforence to tho etatuto forbidding a public officer to accept any feo ex copt as provided by atatnto. A mooting will bo held in a few days to determine tho matter of bringing suit against the company.

Tho representative of the company is John Lookwood, and he is at tho head of tho company which is supplying tho village of Jamaica with water, aud a comparison of atos iu tho two towns is instructive, Islip being given above.

Tbo Eccord Brofcen in the Grandest Race Erer Witnessed in This Country Mr. Pnlsifer Defeated, but Not Disgraced. The Sway Daek Colt Sulked. The hysterical, thrilling and picturesquo features of tho great race between Salvator and Tenny have been fully described in emotional evening extras and tho moraine papers. It would be superfluous to write at length of Jockeys straining every nerve and riding as demons are said to ride by well informed horse reporters.

It might seem stale to write of two great thoroughbreds coming like thunderbolts down the homo stretch, wearing almost human expressions of anxiety, as has been written, or of the supremely sercno expression of confidence on Murphy's dark face, plainly visible to spectacled spectators iu tho grand stand, while Salvator was nearly a mile away. And it would undoubtedly be a waste of time to attempt to arouse the interest of the readers by picturing Mr. Pnlsifer's alleged aspect of dejection, for ho didn't look that way at all; or by moralizing ou the tears of joy said to hare been shed by young Ben Ali Haggin when Ma na's mierhty colt won. And bo, in a report of the event which must appear twenty four hours after tho race was run, the writer is lorcen to deal with cold facta solely, without indulging in flights of imagination. Murohy had the mount on Salvator.

Garrison rode Tenny. Tho horses got off well together at the droii of tho flag aud as they passed the indites' stand the two wero abreast, Garrison holding the rail. A few yards beyond tho judges' Mnrpfoy shot Ins horse out in front and took the rail. After taking the first turn Murphy sent Salvator further to the front, but Teuuy was at his hindquarters like a flash. Ou tho far Bide of tho track, directly opposite tho grand stand, Salvator made another spurt and appeared to be running away from Tenny, but Garrison quickly overhauled the flying leader.

At the three quarter pole there was daylight between the two horses, tho swayback colt apparently sulking, whereupon the backers of Salvator shouted triumphantly. "Tenny is out of it. Salvator will win in a walk." It was a phenomenally fast walk, a record breaking walk. On the far turn it did seom as if Tenuv would bo shamefully beaten. Salvator was two or more lengths in the lead, flying over tho cround with the speed of the wind, ihon Garrison was seen to hump his baek and his whit).

Tenny responded with a great rush. Into the homestretch Salvator lod by two lengths. Garrison had been unable to obey orders and strike tho home stretch head aud head with Salvator, but when he did reach tho stretch the spectators witnessed a marvelous burst of speed never be fore seen on that or any other track. Murphy hoard the rush of Tenuy's hoofs: for ho began to ride with all his consummate skill and utmost vigor. At every stride Tenny gained on the leader.

Opposite the grand stand he was nearly abreast of Salvator. Murphy was riding as if for dear life. Ho was forced to Whip and spur. A fow yards from the wiu nine wire Tenny's head was on a line with shoulders Garrison's face was livid. He was hard at work with his heels and bauds.

Murphy was doing likewise. As the horses daBhed under the wire thousand of excited spectators shouted "Salvator 1" and as many shouted "Tenny But Salvator had won by a half head, so tho judges said, after the horse's number had been hoisted. L.tst year Sal vator won by an eye lash. Cheers greeted the victor aud the vanquished. A lew enthusiasts wearing blinkers tried to get over the fence bo that they might hug Murphy, the modest rider of the winner, but the police restrained their en thusiasui.

In a brief period the white faced and nervous plungers on Salvator recovered their color, and tho palpitations of their hearts became normal, if one could judge by their demeanor. That the race was a grand one is shown by the record 2:05, a reduction of the previous record by lH seconds. The result of the race fully justified the declaration repeatedly made by Mr. Pnlsifer to the effect that his horse could beat tho time made by Salvator when he ran the Suburban handicap aud defeated Tenny. The Suburban was won in 2:00 4 5.

Yesterday morning Mr. Pulsifer said in his quiet way to the writer: "To beat Tenny to day Salvator will have to run iu .03." Behoving that Mr. Pulsifcr had mado a slip oE the tongue, the writer telegraphed to the Eagle that the owner of Tenny said Salvator would have to beat 2:00 to win. When the raco was over Mr. Pulsifer, cool as tho traditional cucumber on ice, said to the Eagle representative, Emilingly: "You looked this morning as if you couldn't stand what I said when I told you that to beat Tenny the winner would havotoruu in 2:05.

I knew that I had a good horse to day. You know now that I was not boasting." Salvator did win in 2:05, ridden out, and by half a head only, so the judges say. There are thousands who witnessed the race who lirmly beliovo that if the horses had to run a dozen yards further than they did Tenny would have won by a bead and shoulders. There are thousands of people who would back Tenuy if ho wero to run against Salvator again. "You were beaten but not disgraced," Baid a turfman to Mr.

Pulsifer as the latter stood in the saddling paddock shortly after the race was over. "I think your horse would surely have won if they had a little further to go." "I have my own opinion ou that point," said Mr. Pulsifer. "But I don't want to detract in the east from the merit of Salvator's performance. Tho best horse won.

Perhaps if Tenny had run ns true a race as Salvator tho result might have been different. The record had to bo broken to beat me. I am still of the opinion that Tenny is a pretty good horse, aud it goes without saying that Salvator is." Mr. Pulsifer is true sportsman, whose head never swells with success and whose composure is undisturbed by defeat. Salvator ie indeed a good horse, a grand racor r.nd he looks it, but the race yesterday demonstrated that the tipsters who prostrated themselves before the Haggin colors, and effusively declared that Tenny would not be in the contest at the finish, greatly underestimated the homely swayback colt's ability.

They expected to see Tenny beaten a length or more instead of by a the shortest kind of a half head. One of tho heaviest backers of Salvator said after ho had collected his winnings: "When I saw Tenny coming up the homo stretch like a cyclone, gaining at every stride he pulled me up on my tip toes, aud I wasn't sure I had won until I saw Salvator's number go up." That veteran turfman, Green B. said: "It was the greatest raco lever saw or expect ever to see again. That record will stand for many a year." Previous to yesterday's raeo the record for 1M miles was mado by the Dwyers' Kingston. Tho fractional time mado yesterday was 0 :25 at the quarter; 0:49 3 5 at tho half; 1:14 3 5 at six furlongs; 1:110 for tho mile; at the mile and a furlong, and 2:05 for the mile and a quarter.

Ten Broeck'a record for a mile was Most of tho trainers at tho track backed Salvator, as was stated in yesterday's Eagle. They are satisfied that they had a close sbavo for their money and freely concede that Salvator had no easy thing in winning There has been some ridiculous talk to the. effect that Murphy rode a shigcish colt who needed ursing: this by way of oxouso for the fact that the great colored jockey had to resort to whip and spur. Yet this so called sluggish colt, without being touched by whip or spur, yesterday equaled Ten Broeck's record for a mile. Murphy said, while ho was still pantiug in tho jockeys' room "Tenny came on me so fast that I hod to ride with head, feet and whip to win by a head." Thero aro no photographs of Murphy in circulation taken when he was "as fully under control of his nerves aud his muscles, as absolutely undisturbed and undisquieted as if he wero sitting in his easy chair at home," to use tho language of a charming and exuberant writer.

Murphy would not recognize such a photograph if he saw one. Who wore present at tho races yesterday Who of race goes were not present would be easier to answer. A conservative estimate of tho attendance places the number ot spectators at 20,000. Following is a summary of the races: Match, $5,000 nsch, half forfeit 95,000 added by tho club; one jmlo and a uuarter. 0.
