So strong wore the harness classes last night that Donnelly, handling J. W. Ilarri-man's Laughing Water and Chieftain, formerly of tho Grosvenor Btables, could not bring them within the ribbons.

Ladew's Horses Not in Shape. Elslnore Stock Farm (Harvey S. Ladew) was not In the ribbons at all, last night. The son of Edward R. Ladew has started showing on his own account this year, but several of the leaders of his siring are ill this week, while Sancton Squire, the famous son of the Forest King, will nrobably not be In shape to show at all.

Mr. Ladew brought forward his saddler. My Dream, and his bay mare, Clarice, in tho opening harness class. A saddle cl.iss of fifteen entries, In which thirteen actually reached tho ring opened the evening. The two entries missing were A.

G. Vanderbilt's prize winning chestnut mare, Lucille, and Miss Mollie Maxwell's new acquisition. Gold Leaf, the cross country horse from the Genesee Valley. However, the class was brilliant enough throughout. It was an excellent example of what a saddle class should be.

His groom followed with the new Fakenham Princess, winner at Boston over all. Vanderbilt sent Wilson In with th saucy and mettlesome Wltchman Elgltta. Laughing Water and the Chieftain, of "Joe" Ilarrimau followed. Jack Donnelly handling the former. Id a green gown and hat to match, with pink rose.

a dlstraetingly pretty figure Miss Mollie Maxwell swung through tho gate with Adonis, her smart chestnut. It was In this class that Miss Maxwell did her stunning driving. Others entered in tho class were a chestnut o( George Watson, Harvester; Jay Carlisle's Revenue, prettily handled by Charley Quick; Hlsinore Stock Farm's Clarice, with Harvey Ladew driving, and Philip Livingston's Santa Claus. Forest King's Easy Path to Victory. A good horseman could see Porest Kine's triumph In this class from its start.

In action, conformation, handling, everything the great hackney led the field. Judgo Moore drove with his customary briliianey. Fakenham Princess, too, was a logical taker of the red. Still, the class was splendidly foueht. Donnelly drove Laughing Water with all the finesse, vim and daidi he cculd muster, but Mi.

ter, to Lay the Matter Before Wise. Some strong statements were made last night by those members of the Thirty-first Ward Board of Trade who attended the special meeting called for the purpose of discussing the service given by the local Ore companies. The meeting was held at Staueh's Assembly Rooms, and President Charles L. Feltman presided. It was claimed that ODlY five men responded to the fire Saturday1 nlvhf fn.

la Company No. 144, on West Fifteenth street. It was said by one of the members of the board who witnessed the fire that no attempt was made to save one of the buildings until the flames had almost entirely consumed tho structure. One man in relating the conditions prevailing during previous fires declared that somo of the fire companies spent most of their time playing cards and drinking In barrooms. It was also stated that at a recent fire down toward Sea Gate nearly every fireman who responded to the alarm was under the influence of liquor.

At another fire at Sea Gate, it was said that the driver of the engine was the only fireman who re. sponded with the apparatus, and he called upon an outsider lo kindle the fire Id the engine after It reached the house that was burning. Another member declared the flra force failed to reach a burning building until fourteon minutes after the alarm had been sounded. It was the sense of the board that a demand be made for another engine company in the vicinity of Sea Gate, and Alderman Lewis M. Potter said ho would call upon Deputy Commissioner Wise, with a committee from the Board of Trade, and ask for an additional company and more men for the present companies.

The board also took up the matter of collecting a fund to be used In fitting out the ten families who were made homeless as the result of the Saturday night fire. Nearly $400 was collected, and an additional sum wa3 collected for the Sun Francisco sufferers. A TIMES SLIGHT EESENTED. The Diocesan House Here Materially Benefited by Members of the Maurice Family.

A new plan among the several suggested as a means for providing the Thirty-necond Ward with a proper water supply was presented last night at the regular monthly meeting of the Citizens Association of that ward, when James Graham, chairman of a special committee appointed by the organization to Investigate the matter, offered a resolution, the purport of which is that the water supply for that district be furnished by tho Gravosend water works. 'ihe plan provldos that a water main be laid along Avenue from the main line on Oceon avenue to Flatbush avenue, so as to maito possible the laying of connecting mains on intersecting and thuB supply the Thirty-second Ward with water from the Gravesend water works.

The association adopted this resolution, deeming the plan to be a cheaper and more expedient one than that which provides that the city buy the Flatbush water works and supply tho Thirty-second Ward with water from mains connected with that pumping station. The association will send a communication to the Borough President, advising the extension of the Gravesend water mains as indicated. The association unanimously passed a motion authorizing the secretary to write to Mr. Coler that it favored tho nomination of Henry A. Meyer as a member of the commission to be appointed by the Mayor to re port concerning the Improvement of Jamaica Bay.

The association also Indorsed Congressman Lnw's measure, providing for a survey of Jamaica Bay and an appropriation for the -purpose of such improvements as would make It a shipping center.

Frank Udell, president of the organization, presided at last night's meeting, which was held at Colonial Hall. Flatbush avenue and Ave nue I.

ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE. William F. O'Brien Stands Accused of Deliberately Murdering George Kane, in L. I. City.

The trial of William F. O'Brien, of Long Island City, for killing George Kane in front of a Vernon avenue saloon on the night of August 26 last Is In progress In the Supreme Court of Queens at Flushing. The people's case is being prosecuted by District Attorney Ira G. Darrin, assisted by his predecessor, George A. Gregg.

O'Brien Is defended by John B. Merrill, a former dis trict attorney. This is Brien's second arraignment. Last fall he wanted to plead guilty to murder in the second degree and go to prison for life, but In view of his youth he la only 24 years old Justice Keogh, who was then presiding, hesitated to accept the plea and advised the prisoner to take his chances before a jury. Thus far only the case of the prosecution has been outlined.

It shows the men quarreled in a saloon and later fought O'Brien charging Kane with having robbed him while he was asleep. After the quarrel, it has been shown, O'Brien went to his boarding place, slept some time and then procured a revolver and cartridges, and. meeting Kane, shot him, causing almost instantaneous death. Counsel for the prisoner has not outlined his defense, but is said to be confldont 6f securing his client's acquittal, or, at least, light sentence. STOCKHOLDERS' GOOD TIME.

NEW SCHOOL SEEMS REMOTE. Flans of Hempsteod of Education Receive a Temporary, if Not Permanent, Setback. (Special to the Eagle.) Hempstead, L. April 25 By the action of a small proportion of the residents of this village, last the efforts of the progressive element to provide a public-school of modern construction and amplo accommodations were, given a temporary, if not a permanent. cheeK.

A special meeting of the citizens was called to vote on an extra appropriation of $15,1100, which the Board of Education ascertained was necessary to build the school as planned and to beautify the site pur- hased for on Prospect street. The itUcns voted SliO.uuO i'or the school and site some months ago. At the meeting Jast night, the site selected was cuar.ictt.Tized by the opponents of tho extra appropriation as unduairablo because of its location. Almost everyone who opposed tho extra appropriation for beautifying it expressed an, opinion that it should be disposed of and a new site selected. Some disapproved of building a largo central school and thought that as the village is laid out, primary schools should be built for the lower grades and the present' large school utilized for high school purposes.

A vote was taken on thtt proposition to raise the $15,000 asked for, and only three of thirty-one citizens voted avorably. A petition was prepared for presentation to the Board of Education ask ing it to call a special meeting of the district to consider disposing of the Peek site and purchasing another. As land in the village limits Is exceptionally high in price, it is believed that the board will have oiibiderable difficulty, in procuring another site. VANDERVEER PARK'S NEEDS.

Many topics of local Importance were dis cussed by the members of the Vandervecr Park Taxpayers' Association at their regular monthly meeting last night at the Vantlor-vcer Park M. E. Church. Avenue and East Thirty-eighth street. The district needs ennny improvements in the way of lights, street signs and sewers.

The president, H. B. Robinson, urged the opening of Avenue from East Thirty-fourth street to Hunter-Ny road. That highway has but recently been opened from Rogers avenue to Eust Thirty-fourth street. Mr.

Robluson spoke of the rapidity with which the section was being built up and of the fact that property there was steadily appreciating in value. He felt that the growing importance of tho neighborhood warranted itc having more attention from the city offlrlais than It Is getting. The streets are poorly llshtcd. he said, but what worse, the section Is In need of sewers. The future piosperity of the locality depended much, he said, on its improvements.

The fact thnt it is bound to continue to be built up because or the steady growth of tho city does not mean that the homes that are made there will be of the desirable kind unless tho Improvements are in keeping with Ihe times. The association expects to take definite action upon the question of Its Bew-ers at its next meeting. AN ACTIVE PARENTS LEAGUE.

Edsall, the district superintendent, and Edmund D. Fisher, of the lnciil school board, vigorously defended the present system, for they said that, some knowledge of modern science and invention was necessary to every pupil, and must r.ol lie denied those who could not afford to take the hiith school finishing course.
