Most of trios present left the betting ring except for the few brief minutes during the actual running of the several events.

POLICE TOUR BORDEN AVENUE. Every Resort Was Compelled to Close at 1 A. M. To day. Long Island City.

September 2fi The police made a tour along Borden avenue at 1 o'clock this morning and closed up every resort. This action was due to tho crusade started by Magistrate Smith, who declared in the police court the other day that tho moral condition of Borden avenue was rotten and a disgrace to the city. On Wednesday the police declared that, the resorts along the avcnsio wore run according to law, while their action last night Indicates an exactly contrary condition of affairs. There were several places that kept open all night, and Judge Smith said they were the resorts of crooks, blacklegs and dissolute young women. Some persons somewhat familiar with the conditions that have prevailed along Borden la'Pniif.

declare that the "red licht district" 'cadet system existed there to Some extent and that girls were lured from Greenpoint to Long Island City and ruined as a matter of business. UTILIZE THE DOG. A Device That Is Highly Esteemed in Georgia. Down in Georgia, aceordingtto my friend, Captain Lyerly, who ought to know, lives a man who is noted for his love of ease, but whose wife is sufficiently a hustler to almost make up for his chronic disinclination to activity. One cold night he wont to bed, leaving some bags of grain out of doors which should have been placed in the barn for protection against the weather, to say nothing of thieves.

But then they don't have many thieves in Georgia. During the night the hero of this story awoke and thought that he heard something which sounded like rain. He was anxious to know whether it was raining or not, for if it were he wanted an opportunity to worry about that grain, or perhaps hint to his wife and then go to sleep while she slipped out and attended to it. He thought the matter over for some time and then hunched the good woman. "Nancy!" "What Is it, John?" "Is it lainln'?" "I don't know, John." "I wisht I knew." "Why don't you get up and see, then?" "I hate to; I'm Just awful sleepy." "Well, then, go to sleep and never mind." all, I'd like to know.

Hit's right important." "Then go and see." "You, go, won't you, Nancy?" "No, I won't so now, you lazy thing, you John lay and reflected for some minutes, then awoke his wife again and said: "I'll tell ye what ye might do, Nancy. Ye might git up an' let the dorg out. He'll bark fer a mlnit er two an' then whine tor git back in. Ye c'n let 'lm in an' then feel o' him, an' if hit's a rainin' he'll be wet. an' If hit ain't he won't be.

an' then hlt'Il be all right." Henry M. Wiitse in Lippincott's. HIS LAST "WAIL. The white robed nurses quietly busied themselves at the patient's bedside. He was plainly breathing his last.

"Have you anything to say?" tenderly asked the attending physician. "Nothing nothing!" gasped the dying man. "It is only this regret this remorse this terrible blow to my self respect!" He breathed now in a labored manner, and they bent lower to hear his story divulged. "Oh!" wailed the unfortunate, "to think to think that I have smashed all the anti speed laws in Christendom against automobiles, and then and then to be run over by an ice wagon." It was too much, and he gave up the ghost in mortal agony. Baltimore News.

How the Teeth of Modern Horses Are Filled and Cared For, GOLD FILLINGS ARE COMMON. Horses Frequently Travel Many Miles to Secure Services of a Capable Dentist. Horse dentistry, formerly of the rough and ready order, has developed into a science. It is quite the thing for millionaire horses afflicted with toothache or having broken or crooked teeth to take a ride to Philadelphia for gold fillings or straightening. It is said that some New York matrons expect to have diamonds set 4n the front teeth of their horses.

"An operation In horse dentistry is inter estng to witness," says the Horseman. "A slim bay mare, a trotter worth $3,000. was taken to Philadelphia the other day to have a front tooth filled. The filling, without any suffering on the part of the mare, was accomplished in less than an hour. In the afternoon, the little mare, quite well again, boarded her private box car and was taken home to New York.

"On her arrival in Philadelphia she was put in a box stall, and in the passageway outside her door two grooms placed quickly a table laden with dental instruments a dazzling array of nickel plated tools. Then a voting surgeon in a white coat, appeared. He" took up one of the instruments. 'This 15 a the surgeon said, and he set it to the proper size. It fitted upon her back teeth and held her mouth wide open, and the surgeon examined the broken tooth.

"A splinter must come off here, he said, and took up an instrument two feet long, scissors shaped, and with cutting edges that were sawlike. It snapped off the splinter as though it had been chalk. "Among the silver glitter of the dental instruments on the table an electric battery buzzed. The surgeon fixed to one of its wires a drill, and instantly a burr of steel upon the end of the drill began to revolve with the current's force as fast as a circular saw. He applied the drill to the tooth.

With humming sound it dug Its way through the torn enamel, making it in a moment quite regular and smooth. "The surgeon cleansed the tooth thoroughly with hot air blown from a syringe. Then he took up In forceps a morsel of dental gold. This malleable metal he pounded tightly into tfle cavity and added more and more to it. molding the gold as it grew, till finally the tooth had regained its proper size and shape.

It was then filed smooth and polished to a taking brlliance and the operation was over. The mare had suffered no pain. She whinnied a little and took a deep drink of water. Afterward she ate. for the first time since the accident, a hearty meal.

The filling and crowning of the teeth of horses ie done with aluminum and amalgam, as well as with gold. The operation varies in cost from $5 up Into the hundreds. Bewildering is the array of dental instruments that the well equipped veterinary surgeon must have to day. The number, in fact, is over fifty. For a horse's teeth are always growing and therefore they require much more attention than a man's, which cease to grow while he is still a hoy.

EVENT FOR RACEABOTJTS. On next Wednesday the Seawanhaka Corlnthian Yacht Club and the American Y'acht Club will sail the series for club race abouts off Oyster Bay. WITH THE GOLFERS AT NASSAU LINKS. The drenched condition of the Nassau Country Club course yesterday mad the firppns hf uvy that many players fell short In putt aftor jnut. The quality of polf displayed was very creditable considering the weather.

J. Travis showed that he is In ffnod fnrm at present by a mapnlflcent round of the Nassau links In 73. on Wednesday. The amateur record ts 71. held by Mr.

Travis, and the professional record is 70. held by Alex Smith, the club professional. The Garden City Golf Club loaned forty five caddies to supply the unusual demand at Nassau durlnc the present tourney. It had been almost taken for granted that W. J.

Travis, with his card of SI, would win the C. B. Cory, Winner of the Gold Medal In the Quallfyins Round at Nassau. gold modal, and the fO of C. B.

Cory, the Oakley player, came as a surprise. The latter made the round with A. G. Lockwood of Allaton. The bogey figures for the Xassau Country Club course are 80 strokes, subdivided as follows: Out 4 5 4 5 5 5 3 a 41 In 3 3 5 4 5 5 5 3 439 SO Until recently the eighteen hole bogey was 81.

but the Colonel has been called upon to do the second hole of 4S0 yards in 5. where he was formerly allowed 6. A. G. Lockwood was the only player who used the solid gutta percha ball.

Some people hellevt. that Us additional weight makes it run truer and better upon a heavy green than the filled ball. The sloppy track caused many scratches and all but ruined a fine card. Mixer ran pretty well for a lame horse. Mr.

McCoimiok. wonder who it was that backed him so heuvily? jnckey Landry was set down for the rest of tho week for breaking through the barrier with Duckoy in the ilfth race. Jockey Lyne accepted but two mounts. Third with NVvermore and an eay win on Trinity Bell were the results of his efforts. Landry certainly sot all the run out Arden in closing race of the day.

and the victory of the colL wag greatly due to thi ride accorded him. Carroll D. was expected to run a pood' race, for mud is his stronghold, but he ran a miserable race, as "Bill" Daly's horses generally do when at a short price. Molly Brant is a sturdy filly. She raveled in the muddy goinjr.

but had to be hard ridden to stall off River Pirate near the In the 2 year old handicap, which was first on the card. The John tfcGltmts who Is suing Police Captain Titus is not John L. McGlnnis the betting commissioner for Senator McCarren. Neither is he in any way related to the commissioner for the Senator from the' Eastern District. Joe Ullman was not on line.

He did not draw for a position in the Metropolitan circle on Wednesday night. The book has sustained heavy loSFes of late and Jfe Ullman and Kid Weller decided to lay ofT until Morris Park. Trinity Bell was in for $6Wt. Albert Simons hid her up to S1.400. Enoch M'ishard bid her in.

Mr. Drake seems to be willing to stand having his horses run up. for he bets an extra, thousand for the purpose of protecting his candidates In selling races. Pittsburg Phil was so diFRiis ted with the showing of Maiden in the six furlong selling race that he told George Forbes, in whose name the 4 year old runs, to sell him for $7. Maiden seems to he able to make a decent showing only when he can go to the front.

Redfern, who had not on a race in several days, broke his 111 luck with an easy win on the mare Huntrossa. Zuroaster was expected to give her a race, but could never get Hun tressa. Black Dick kept pace with Zoroaster for six furlongs. Chiron was out of the hunt from the start. Toscan wap a distinct disappointment.

This LONG DISTANCE RACES ON SUNDAY PROGRAMME AT VAILSBURG TRACK. The regular Sunday race meet at the Valls burg track, Newark, this week, will be marked by two long distance races of importance. One is a twenty mile contest for professionals, in which eleven purses and an almost indiscriminate outlay of lap prize money will make the riders hustle all the way. The other event is a handicap at five miles for amateurs that promises to be quite the liveliest race of its kind held in this section this year. Marcus Hurley, E.

F. Root, George Glas son and Teddy Billington, the four leading amateurs in America, will be the scratch men against a Tield of over fifty starters. Frank Kramer, Floyd MacFarland, Iver Law son, Orlando Stevens, W. S. Fenn, John T.

Fisher and Owen Kimble are some of the best entrants for the "pro" race. A condition for this race, which will be rigidly enforced, is that no team work will be allowed. Every rider must go it alone, and the result should furnish a pretty struggle between the top notch sprinters and some of the hard working pluggers. who, so far this year, have suffered in consequence of the liberal amount of "teaming" done. DIAMOND CHIPS.

Dave Fultz of the Athletics has stolen 51 bases to date this season. Elberteld, the Detroit shortstop, admits that he has signed a New York contract. Shortstop "Wallace denies that he has signed with the American League for next season The double header with New York to morrow wlIU close the base ball season at Washington Park. President ITart of the Chlcagos acknowledges that the National Leasue has been unsuccessful in landing American players. During the season just ended the Newark club of the Eastern league used up no less than flfty nlne players and finished last.

The St. Louis Browns will play a series of exhibition games at the Texas State Fair, to be held at Dallas, October 5 to 12. Cincinnati reached the .500 mark again yesterday by defeating the St. Louis Cardlnats. Poole held the Cardinals down to four hits.

The Cincinnati Reds start October 7 on a barnstorming tour of Ohio. Jack Taylor of the Chlcagos will be a member of the outfit. A party of minor league players Is to make an invasion of Mexico, shortly, under the management of Dale Gear, the Kansas City manager. Claude Rltchey of the Plttsburgs is to be married shortly and will take his bride with him on the trip of the base ball tourists to the Pacific coast. "Patsy" Donovan will again manage and captain the St.

Louis Cardinals next year. It is stated that he will be financial manager in addition to his other duties. According to St. Louis reports McGraw was unsuccessful in his efforts to induce the American League people to relinquish their hold on Mathewson and Bowerman. Owing to the rain the game at Orange was declared off yesterday.

The Brooklyns met with a similar experience last year In a game scheduled with the Jersey team. Kansas City won the Western League pennant from Omaha by a margin of three points. The record of the first four teams was: Kansas City, Omaha. .600: Milwaukee. .593, and Denver.

.591. This Is probably the closest finish among the first four clubs In a league on record. Al Reach has purchased enough additional stock in the Philadelphia National League Club to give him a half Interest In the enterprise. The transfer of property has no significance other than that Mr. Reach believes that National League ball is still a paying Investment In the Quaker City.

AGE OF HOUSES. Some Facts Which Will Help in Ascertaining the Same. To distinguish merely between young horses and old it is only necessary to remember a few facts. The first is that the milk teeth are present until he is between four and five years old; that the "mark," or dark central depression on the surface of the incisors, becomes gradually worn out, and in a horse over eight years old has nearly always disappeared from the teeth of the lower jaw; that the shape of the tooth is much wider from side to side than it is from front to back. As the horse becomes older the surface becomes progressively narrower from side to side, and instead of remaining oblong it becomes triangular, and then (in very old animals) flattened from side to side.

In young horses we judge the age by observing which of. the milk teeth are present; and which have been replaced. To distinguish between the milk teeth and the permanent remember that the milk teeth are smaller, whiter and have a distinct neck. Until a colt is over two years old his teeth are all milk teeth, and the age is estimated from the amount of wear shown on tha crowns. Between two and three the first of the permanent teeth make their appearance and push out the middle two teeth in both upper and lower jaws.

A horse is said to be 3 years old when these central permanent incisors are fully In wear. During the next summer the second pair of permanent teeth appear, and when they are fully grown and in wear the horse is 4 years old. Between 4 and 5 the last pair make their appearance, and now the horse has what is called a full So far both mares and horses are alike, but at or near 5 years old the canines, or "tushes," appear in the male sex only. Up to the end of this period determination of the age is a comparatively easy matter, and any one who is at all observant can readily give the age of horses by looking at their teeth. After a full mouth is attained the task Is more difficult, and it becomes greater steadily in proportion to their age.

So much is this the case that It Is popularly supposed to be impossible to tell the ago of horses after they are 8 years old. This may be true to a great extent among the untrained and the inexperienced, but an' expert finds no difficulty in telling the age tip to 15 years with a fair degree of accuracy, and even after that age can approximate it within a couple of years. To do this, of course, requires much experience and careful' inspection of all the visible indications of age. To rely upon one only, such as the "mark," is to court defeat. All should be observed the mark, the shape of the teeth, their length and the angle at which they meet In his jaw.

September 26 Passengers waiting for the 5:45 train here yesterday afternoon witnessed one of tho most remarkable hair breadth escapes from death that has ever happened on the Long Island Railroad.

A New Y'ork fisherman, who had spent the day at Long Beach, attempted to cross the track in front of the east bound flyer, when the train was less than fifty feet away. Every one on the station platform expected to see the man ground to pieces. The engineer tooted the whistle, applied the emergency brakes and turned his head away from what he expected to be a tragedy. Grazing the New Y'orker's eoat with its pilot, the ponderous locomotive, hauling a heavy train, rushed by at terrific speed. The train caaie to a stop, and the rear brakeman was sent back to ascertain if the man had been struck.

He was found on the opposite side of the tracks, speechless. He refused to give his name. TACKAPOUSHA C. C. WILL CELEBRATE ON OCT.

V. H. VR.V1. NATIONAL MAGNATES ADJOURN. Report "Nothing Doing" as Usual, but Admit Contract Jumpers Are Scarce.

Tile announcement that James C. Kennedy, the well known fight promoter, had been selected as the man to lead the American League forces in New York, and that within a few daye he would publicly announce the location of the new American League grounds in this city, together with other plans of the Ban Johnson organization, has given the National League magnates additional food for reflection. In getting Mr. Kennedy interested in the enterprise, the American Leaguers could not have made a better move in New York. He knows the game from' start to finish, and, as a manager, his peer is not in the city.

He has successfully promoted a number of fighting clubs and bicycle meets and is known from coast to coast. Aside from this, Kennedy was for years actively engaged in base ball work. His business partner is' P. T. Powers, the president of the Eastern League and also of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Leagues.

Mr. Kennedy was seen at his office this morning and eaid: "I am sorry that this thing has become public just at this time. Within two or three days it was my intention to publicly announce my connection with the American League and make public many important details. "There are one or two important details to be arranged yet. I expect to see Ba Johnson shortly.

The location of suitable playing grounds, of course, is the chief thing that must be contended with in New York to make an American League invasion successful. TVe have several sites utfuer conslaera tion, any one of which we can get. A deal may be closed at any minute. "As far as the money for financing a team here goes you can say that I have one of the most influential and wealthy men in the city back of me in thisj thing, and I have been promised the very pick of players. The announcement of my connection with the matter was ill advised just at present 'and may block one or two little matters.

The whole thing will be definitely settled in a very short time, however, and then the public will be told everything concerning our plans." Mr. Kennedy was asked if he had seen Ban Johnson during his recent visit to the city. "I have socn and conferred with Mr. Johnson and the other members of the American League on many occasions during the summer." Kennedy said that he could not say anything further at present regarding the plans of the American. It is hinted that "Tim" Sullivan is the financial man back of Kennedy.

A story gained circulation last night that the American League people were considering a site at One Hundred and Twenty sixth street and First avenue, but this report is not taken seriously. the first place the site is so small that a short base hit would go over the fence. The plot as it stands is scarcely more than 150 by 175 feet, not large enough for the building of stands. It is said that efforts Mill be made to close the street running through the'grounds and secure the adjoining plot, but this would be a big undertaking. The National League magnates got down to work early.

The session was presided over by John T. Brush. There were present at the meeting Andrew Freedman and Fred Knowles. New York; A. H.

Soden, Boston; Barney Dreyfuss and Harry Pulliam, Pittsburg; Harry Von der Horst, Ned Hanlon and Charles Ebbetts, Brooklyn; Colonel John I. Rogers and A. J. Reach, Philadelphia; James Hart, Chicago; Max Fleischman and August Herman. Cincinnati.

F. De Haas Roblson of St. Louis was not at the meeting. The new developments in the American League situation were taken up by the magnates as soon as they were in session. It was announced that some definite action might be taken and that as soon as the solons actually adopted any plan it would be made public.

It is known that at the session the magnates favored the carrying on of a bitter fight against the rival organization. When the magnates finally adjourned and started for home to cogitate over the situation until the December meeting the customary announcement that there was "nothing doing" was given out. It was acknowledged that the Nationals had been unable to induce many players to jump the American League and some of the magnates expressed satisfaction on this point on the ground that the enormous salaries to be paid by the opposition next year would tend to swamp the Johnsonites. As the conditions stand at present, the National Leaguers will doubtless stand pat and let the Americans work out their own demise. If the funeral does not materialize next fall, and, on the contrary, the opposition shows a tendency to thrive, then peace overtures will doubtless be entertained.

Manager McGraw of the New Yorks returned from an invasion into the American camps for players and announced that he had landed some big fish. He refused to disclose the names of the players secured owing to the fact that there are one or two more pay days in the American and the players might suffer by an early disclosure.

The Fair Grounds Practically Deserted. It Is Hoped to Have Some Trotting and Horse Shotc Events To day. Mineola, L. September 26 Secretary Thomas H. Bacon of the horse department has his opinion of the clerk of the weather for causing such a downpour of rain yesterday and this morning, and even Eugene V.

Willis, one of the members of the board of directors, who has been posing as a weather prophet for the last decade, found that his reputation for giving a correct forecast of atmospheric conditions had disappeared. For several days previous to the fair Mr. Willis was assuring every one, with that genial smile of his, that "it never rains fair week." However, every one took things good naturedly; the fakirs closed up their tents and passed the time in singing and playing on a banjo or two that had seen better days, while the few stray visitors to the fair, who had arrived early in the morning and had nowhere else to go, managed to pass the time away in Industrial Hall where Conterno furnished music all dav long. The most popular place on the grounds TaS ot the decker, Jones and Jewell Milling Company, located in the Industrial Hall. At this place H.

C. Eldredge of Hempstead, who has the booth in charge, was busy all day lone superintending the work of an expert cook who was serving flap jacks of "the kind your USd t0. make" t0 311 wl Wished them, and asit was raining too hard to move about the grounds Mr. Eldredge did a rushing business and displayed his wares to a most practical advantage ofAwbLt0fhrarn carriaee manufacturers of what they might expect at future fairs the Turner Automobile Company of Philadelphia had on exhibition in the carriage tent one of their four horse power thrfe wheeled "Gadabouts," as they have named their automobile of that style. For durability and simplicity of construction the jLrnTei t0 have cached the mark and Irvin J.

Long of Bay Shore, who is the selling agent for Long Island, has been the center of a throng of future chauffeurs since the opening of the fair. If the show circle is too wet this afternoon to days classes of the horse show will be field to morrow morning and there will be trotting also in the morning if the harness racing programme for to day is not finished The harness races yet to be decided include foals ot 1899, purse $200; 2:25 pace J300; 2:08 pace, $600 gentlemen's road horse (trotters), silver cups; 2:35 class, trot S300 foals of 1900, $100; 3:00 class, open to all' $300; gentlemen's road horse, pace, silver cups; 2:15 class, trot, $400; 2:20 class, pace $400; 2:10 class, trot, $800; 2:15 class, pace' $400. ENGLISH HOUSES. It is announced that in October a million dollars' worth of thoroughbred English race horses will be brought to New York and sold at auction. These are to comprise 130 head, sires, brood mares, yearlings, some of them noted.

The Englishman who conceived the idea of exporting this huge consignment of thoroughbreds to the United States during the present year is possessed of more than an average share of shrewdness. A more favorable time for such a shipment than the present, when horse racing in America is practically the king of all sports, could not have been selected. If the horses brought over are in any way up to the standard of advance statements made about them, they will undoubtedly bring satisfactory prices, even though the majority of English running horses hitherto imported into this country have failed to live up to their Insular reputation. This, it is claimed, has been due to poor judgment in selection and poor quality of animal, in most cases. Spirit of the Times.
