energies toward nursing the colt to-- tho goal.V Hastings was beaten even at this point, and It

was evident that danger would come from an-- $

perfectly; the son of Favor showed alongside, Hastings as the Hold swung Into the stretch.

along like an antelope, his heaU no'lW, a good two lengths of gray earthyawned between him and Cassoopla, and as

;, the stand with Its thousands of ahrleklng. and gesticulating occupants rose to his view,C becoming plainer and more distinct nt every

Stride, Lamle felt that victory was bis. Hisface, naturally colorless, was as white as chalk,end his thin lips were closed tightly over his' clinched teeth. It was the chance of a lifetime

,C to regain tbo placo he formerly occupied In the

X centre of the track like a Nemesis bore The: J, winner, Sloane being far out over tho shoulders' .' of tho d and as motionless as a

' "t liamle saw him coming, roused tho three-year- -'

t old with hand and heel, and prepared to put upi a flght until the last gasp.3 Nearer nnd yet nearer camo The Winner, untilj bis hood was at Voter's shoulder; then Lamlo'sJ Ruardlan angel must have whispered to the lad,', lor ns be started to draw his whip, he put It

- Until even thoso who know him beat'i were amaxed. Voter bravely held bis own, andi try ns Sloane might The Winner could not clo9e;,;., that ter feet, and Voter was first past the post', by a neck. Casseopia was third, two lengths

oway, with Hastings fourth.. That's bow Voter won the Metropolitan Hon- -

dloap of 1897. Naturally, the owner. Jockey,tt and trainer of Voter came in for a host of con-- y

srratulations. Voter was a ofplgh class last year. He was bred byois owner In England, but foaled in this

k) .country, and did not appear until the

. Y season had been pretty well advanced. Hofi was easily the pick of the KoeneV In 1800, and It Is a pity that he is not in the1. withers or Holmont, to be run during the presentSv meeting at Morris Park. He Is a solid chestnut

' j." colt of good size, having an unusual amount ofV powor behind tho saddle. He was ably prepared

i I, lor bis race by tho colored trainer, Thomas. J Green.i ' An even dozen were named for1 3, tho Juvenile Stakes, the Messrs. Morris, Thorn p- -i

At anyrate Varus was going stronger at the end thanany of the others. Thestako was worth 94,000to the winner, nnd Mr, Belmont was kept busysnaking bands with his friends for some timeafter the race.

Strong talked yesterday about thecoming municipal campaign. Senator Piatt'sstatement excited blm thereto.

"When Senator Piatt says that a fusion of theforces Is necessary to win, he ex-

presses my views of the situation," said theMayor. "Tho Senator agrees with me in that,although ho doos not seem to like this adminis-tration. I bellove wo think mora of him thanhe doos of us. As for myself I have tried to 11 voup to tho platform on which I was elected. Iknow I have made mistakes, but tbeyhave beon of tho head, uot of theheart. I havo worked very hard in thisofllce, harder, I bellove, than any of my prede-cessors. I havo devoted moro tlmo to the city'sbusiness than I ever did to my prlvato buslnoss.I havo been In this ofllco from I) o'clock in themorning until 5 or 0 o'clock at night almostevery dny. I bnd no special knowledge of thoduties of tho ofllco when I cntno Into ofllce. Ihad to learn It all. My work has been hnnl,nnd I know It has been conscientiously per-formed. I havo worked bo hard hero that Iwill bo glad to retire to private life."

At the request of a reporter that he suggestcandidates, tho Mnyorsald that " such n man asScth Iyow or Gen. Trncy or John Olnflln wouldmako a splendid Mnyorof Greutor New York."

This led to another question ns to whether ornot ho would ncccpt tho nomination If ho weretho unnnlmous choice of all thoelements. The Mayor's nnswer to this was hisstall ment regarding tho hard work ho had per-formed as Mayor, und his willingness to laydown tho cores n( otticont the end of tho year.

Of tho attitude of the Citizens' Union thoMayor B.ld:

"Tho men In that movement nre honest, capa-ble mid cool-h- tiled, bo far ns I know them. Theynil bollevo In good government for this city andtho." arc not going to do anything to injure thntcat!?. 'I hey are not going to lommlt linra-klr- l '

The bosses of the Citizen' Union wero notmuch In evidence yesterluy. Most of thrm goout of tlio city on Saturday to spend adny or two in tho ountry. The) donot play politics every day In the weok.Press Agent Hlllls at tho headquartersIn East Twenty-thir- street was very much ex-

ercised because of the nbtsence from the city oftho bosses, ns he was unable to secure any

with which to reply to thofusillade of Senator Piatt.

The only Clt of consequence who could befound In town yesterday w ho would comment onSenator Piatt's declaration of tho position of theRepublican organization was James C. Carter.Mr. Carter Bald:

" I am not used to taking political advice fromThomas C. Piatt."

President Edward Lautcrbach of the Republi-can County Committee snld (not at tho liehost ofMr. Hlllls):

"Senator Piatt states the political situation inGreater New York very clearly and forcibly.Ho Is In entire accord with the views whichhnvo been expressed by nil the ltopubllcan dis-trict loaders. The Republican organization willdoubtless deem It Its duty to Its constitu-ents to make Republican nominations. Itdocs not underestimate tho Importance of thosupport of Its candidates by those w ho nre Inde-pendent In their politics. Senator Piatt setsforth tho duty of the organization In thisretard, and it will be fully performed.Tho ncccssltv of this course Is apparent. Thoadvantages whkh will accrue from having thocity. Stato and national administrations Inaccord; Tammany's renowed confession ofIlryani-.n- i mado by its authorized mouth-niec- e

last night everything points to thonecessity of tuulon to present victory fortho forces of disorder. It Is In the logicof events, too, that tho Greater Now York shouldbe administered by the Republican party. Thegreat municipality owes Its being to that pnrty.Tho Tammany Democrats In the Leglslaturostendfastly opposed consolidation. Tlio partywhich Ih responsible for its creation should bointrusted with tho administration of tho me-tropolis."
