ITill the liegialatora be Paid for tue Extra Seaslon Governor Hill Tbnttai Thtr Should be, and Will Tako ttae Amount from (be Sappljr Fund, if Necetmarr Special to the Eagle. Albahx, May 18.

There appears to be a difference of opinion among members aud officers ot the Legislature in regard to compensation for the extra session. There will be no per diem allowance to members, but mileage will probably be allowed. In the ease of the Brooklyn members tbe mileage will amount to over $30. The Constitution states that every member of the Legislature shall receive an annual sslary of $1,500, and also $1 for every ten miles in going to and returning from Albany once eaeh session. Senators, when the Senate alone la convened in extraordinary session, or when serving as members of the court for the trial of Impeachments, and members ot the Assembly, sot exceeding sine in number, shall recelvo an additional allowance of $10 a day.

An ex clerk of tho Senate and Assembly says that In the present ease mileage cannot be collected, and that the members will receive ao cotapendttloa during the extra session. I questioned Governor Hill iu relation to the matter, and he replied that he thought the members would be entitled to mileage, adding, with a smile, that the expense waa not likely to be a burden upon the State, for he could, if so disposed, cot off from the Supply bill a sum sufficient to pay for tbe extra session. He said that If the session was unnecessarily prolonged be should be tempted to make Bad havoo with the Supply bllL Republican members who are remaining here say they are waiting to find what public sentiment is before deciding what is best to do lu the predicament. The almost universal opinion appears to bo In favor of standing by the position already takon by the Legislature, Tho Albany Journal to night takes this stand: "Now that Governor Hill in the exerclso of bis arbitrary powers has needlessly and foolishly put the State to the expense of an extra session tbe Republican majority in tho Legislature has but ono duty to perform, and that la to pass the Census bill, which failed to become a law, and challenge tbe Governor to veto it again. If suoh a bill Is passed again Governor Hill can do one of two things, first to veto the bill In a spirit of spltef ulness, or second to sign the bill, and thus by a little self humiliation effect a manly retreat from an unpopular and untenable position." Governor Hill is receiving communications from all parts of the State commending his course, and urging him not to yield from the position he has taken in regard to the census.

The Governor does not need any stiffening up Irom his friends, possessing a firm backbone la such matters is a characteristic for which he is especially noted. THE CONTEST NEXT FALL. A Briffbt Outlook, for the New York nomocracy. Special to the Eagle. Washinotom, May lfi.

Judge Farley, chairman of the committee which waited upon Hon. S. S. Cox and the President for tho purpose of procuring Mr. Cox's consent to remain in this country as representative of tho Eighth Now York District, speaks thus hopefully of success In New York next Fall: "I do not," he said, "see sny Indications of factional disputes in tho Democratic party of New York in regard to the Governorship, There will no doubt be a spirited contest for the nomination, but the man who receives it will, I feel Bure, get tho united support of tbe party.

The Democracy of New York are in a more harmonious condition now than at any time hitherto prior to a big election. I see more evidences of unity and concord among them. Of course tbe disposition of Foderal patronage is a subject that is rsgardedas Important. The Colleetorahip of the Port is a big place, and some dissatisfaction might grow out of its bestowal, but I believe that these places will be so stowed as to satisfy the party, and that it will be a unit next fall. United Democracy means victory in New York," HE WANTS A FAIR TRIAL.

The Canadian Iiinurgent Loader to bo Tried by Court martial. Winnipeg, May IS. A Clarke's Crossing dispatch says B1W, while riding into camp, expressed himself to his captors as foi Iowb 1 1 no not think the trouble will be without results, as the complaints of the farmers will be regarded with noma degree of When told that hia books and papers had been captured he said glad 'this will show that I am not the actus learir of the rebellion. I bave been encouraged by people of good standing all around Prince Albert, who invited me over from He asked if they would give him a fair trial a civil or martial trial. When told he would be tried by martial law Rlel dra a long breath, but said nothing.

He spoke agalu of being the leader In the rebellion and commenced praying and making the sign of the cross. The correspondent says "I rode out some way to meet Kiel, and he struck me as Doing a religious crank. He asked me whether his family would be blown up with that gun with tho crank (moaning the Galling), and tben said be did not want to be selfish, and hoped none of the half breeds would suffer for bis own family. He then prayed again. In appearance he la a Canadian half breed and looks very dilapidated.

He spends most of his time talking in a wandering manner and praying." LATEST LONDON GOSSIP. The Cabinet and the Crimes Act A Batch of Suicides. Special by Cable to the Eagle. London, May le. Tho Cabinet wbs in session for two hours to day, and it 1b stated on good authority that the timo was entirely devoted to au interchange of views with regard to a re enactment of the Crimes act and the provisions to be embodied in the now measure.

The Bitting is described aB being very lively while it lasted. The question over which tho members wrangled most was the period for which the law ehonld bo Inforced. It is said that it was finally agreed to make the time during which the Crimes act should remain In vogue ono year. The revised Testament excites more ridicule than praise. Extreme disaenterg openly criticise the changes made and particularly tbe substitution of tbo word "shenl" for "bell." Tho university publishers eatimato that the total sales of the book will not reach 500,000 copies and believe that they will lose money on its publication.

It is asserted in political circles that the Government intends making a public appeal to the Tories to assist tbem in passing the Crimes act, the enactment of which the Parnellitea have solemnly sworn to opposo "tooth and nail." The Irish members assert that they will oppose its passage by every means they can resort to and will remain in London to the end of the session if necessary. There is considerable comment over tbo ac tlon of tho Queen in conferring the order of tho Garter on her prospective sou in law, Prince Henry of Battenbcrg, and raising him to the rank of Royal Highness." It is said that her Majesty has been for a loug time contemplating some means by which she could elevate tho Princess Beatrice's affianced, and that she decided upon the step after a protracted dieoussion with her daughter. It is also. hinted that her Majesty has already Instructed Mr. Gladstone that a fat office under government patronage, with little or no work attached thereto, would be very acceptable to tbe young prince.

Another batch of suicides is reported from Monsco, four new victims of the gaming table having shuffled off. This laat batch brings the total number of suicides for the season up to fifty four. The laBt victim waB a rich and stylish widow, 45 years of age. Sho is said to have lost 200,000 francs at ono sitting. Sho had one' Cchild, a beautiful girl of 14, to whom she administered poison, and then blew out her own brains with a revolver.

It is stated at the clubs and other quarters to night that Lord Randolph Churchill has pledged his support to tho Parnellitea in their fight against tho Government when the new measure with regard to the suppression of crimes In Ireland comes up. Tho friends of tho young lord assert that so embittered hss he become toward the present Ministry, that bo hails with delight everythlug that can bo used to the worry and dlsoomfilure of Its members. lESTEKDAY'S APPOINTMENTS.

At the bank, after passing; the water Jump, Barometer fell and rolled partly over Hurley, who had a narrow escape from serious injury.

THE SIX HATS' ROLLER RACE. Suowden TVins After Skating: Almost Twelve Hundred Miles, The sis days go as you please roller skating race at tho Madison Square Garden, New York, was won by Suowden, tho dark haired and graceful skater from Boston, a contestant who at the outset was deemed the one least likely to gain the prize. From the beginning of the raoe to the end, however, he struggled on, and kept rolling up big scores daily un til ho came out a winner. But when the race was over Snowdon was tired and did not oare to walk rauoh.

He had intended to make the tremendous score of 1,200 miles Is six days, but his trainer prevented him. At ono time it looked as though Boyst, the Port Jer vls boy, might push him hard and perhaps win tho race, for at two o'clock yesterday after noon the score stood: Suowden, Boyut, 1,105 adifference of only nine miles. Suowden, however, increased tho distance from that time, uutil at nino o'clock tho difference was eighteen miles, when Snowdon had made 1,163 miles and Boyst had made but 1,145. At this time Maudocka had made 1,104 miles, Schock 1,026, Francis, tho ool ored boy, 908, and Harrluian 800. Tbo attendance was not large, and the number of empty chairs must have been discouraging to managers and skaters alike.

Bartol officiated. The Police Looking Out for a Sensation. Inspector Byrnes Sends a Dispatch to Sergeant Phillips The Jumper to be Taken Into Custody if He Slakes His Appearance. About half past 11 o'clock last night Sergeant Phillips received the following messago from the Central Offlco, New York New Yobk, May 16. I am In receipt ot a telegram from Washington, stating that Robert E.

O. Delure has left there, and intends to jump off tho Brooklyn Bridge Notify authorities. Inspector Byrnes. A few days ago Professor Odium and Robert Donaldson both signified their intention of Jumping off tho bridge. Donaldson also proposes to swim a mile after he arises to tho surface.

Sergeant Philllpa bos detailed a epecial force or patrolmen along the roadways, with instructtona to apprehend any person who attempts any ouch rash act. Tbe sergeant promptly reached the conclusion that the man whose name figured in the dispatch proposed to throw himself into the East Biver under the cover of darkness. He immediately detailed a special force of patrolman to watch the roadway and to take into custody any person who seemed to enfcrtaln the idea of leaving the brldgo In a hurry. It. was thought that In all probability tho leaper would be accompanied by frleuds, not numerous enough to excite much suspicion, but still Btrong enough In numbers to leave no doubt as to the actual performance of the exploit.

Up to tbe time that the Eaole went to press nothing had been Been of the venturesome Delure. Professor Odium says be wants to jump from the bridge, but does not put up tne money. Robert Donaldson, however, proposes to accomodate the Professor on tho following terms I will jump from the centre of the bridge with Professor Odium and thon swim one mile. The stakes to be either $250 or $300 a side." Donaldson hss gainod quito a roputation as a jumper. Hois 20 years old, is 6 feet 1 Inches tall and welgba 150 pounds.

He was born in Scotland, and began jumping and diving from high places whon quite young. His first jump of any note wasfrom tho royal yard of the ship Charity, of Liverpool. The trial took placo in tho South Dock, at Sunderland. The height was Beuenty feet. Ho Boon aftorward jumped from the Sunderland Brldgo.

In August, 1680, he made two jumps from High Bridge luto the Harlem River. Tho first jump was mode, as he said, for aho fun of the thing," and the Becond for a small purso of money. DISFIGURING HER ItlVAL. A Jealous Baltimore Woman Pours Vitriol on Another's Head. BALTisiortE, May 16.

Mrs. John M. Bruce has for Borne time had knowledge of her bUBbaud'a attachment for Mrs. Mamie Mlger, a prepossessing widow, and that knowledge led to a separation but a few days ego. The couple were reconciled on promise of reform on the part of tho husband! Mrs.

Mlger was not willing to losehor lover so easily, and this afternoon aucceeded in persuading him to visit her at her home on North Front street. Mra. Bruce followed her faithless huaband, end surprised him in the company or tho fascinating widow. Suspecting that bor huBband had gone back on his promiBo sho had provided herself with a cup of vitriol which, on finding her suspicions correct, she emptied on tho bead of her rival. Mrs.

Mlger was horribly burned on her face, breast and arms, and will probably Iobo her eyesight. Bruce, who was by her Bide, was also burned about the faco, badly but not seriously. On finding that she had burned her husband, Mrs. Bruce at once became repentant and wont out for soothing materials which she used on his burns. This repentance was, however, without avail, as Mra.

Miger got out a warrant for her arrest and Mrs. Bruce was looked up for a future bearing. QUICKER TIME TO CHICAGO. Tlio Erie Railroad Arranging for flore Expedition Trips.

James Lyons Brings the Brooklyn Health Board to Terms.

George Swift Gets an Extension of Ten Days After Heine Ordered to Suspend Business Justice McDonald Makes a Charge or Blackmail. Newtown Citizens to Appeal to tue Mext Grand Jury. James Lyons, the Ridgewood piggery man, has won a signal victory over the Health Department of Brooklyn, and his friends wore very jovial over the result yesterday. Mr. Lyons pays $12,000 a year for the garbage ot New York hotels and oarts It away twice every day to his farm at Ridgewood, where it is boiled and the groaso extracted for soap making purposes, after which the awili la fed to cattle and swine.

The swine that die on the farm are boiled up with the garbage. The City of Brooklyn pays George Swift $30,000 a year for oartlng away Its garbage. Ha established an extensive piggery at Newtown, a little baok from Richmond Hill, where he has 2,000 swine of all slzea aud ages. Jnst after Mr. Swift effected this location Dr.

Bartley, of the Brooklyn Health Dopartmont, made report eondemning Mr. Lyons' premises as dangerous to the public health. Mr. Lyons repelled tho assertion and Dr. Bartley mode a vigorous rejoinder.

Mr. LyonB made aome Jmprovemente, but Dr. Bartley saw no reason to change his opinion aud the machinery of the Board of Health was put in motion to suppress the business by depriving him of the permit whioh authorized him to drive his garbage wagons through the city. Mr. Lyons admitted that this radical prohibition would, if persisted in, drive him ont of lie bnsineBS.

Up to this time Mr. Swift's pig ranch had been growing apace. Mr, Lyons saw his opportunity. He set the Newtown Health Board at work to harass Mr. Swift, and laws were psssed similar to those existing in Kings County for the purpose of proventing the carting of garbage through Newtown to Mr.

Swift's boiling houseB. Mr. Lyons is bondsman for a number of the officials and a strong man in the town, so strong, in fact, that he waa granted a license by tho Board of Hoalth to conduct tha piggeries and the swill boiling at the same time that the board was getting ready to apply as much dynamite to Mr. Switt as would blow him back into Kings County. It came to be a battle between the city aud country Health boards in which bsckbone was bound to win.

The Nowtown officials had given Mr. Swift ten days in which to make improvements or stop work. Tho health officer visited his place Wednesday and was not satisfied. On hiB report, to be submitted Friday, Mr. Swift would be enjoined.

The critloa! moment was near at hand. Mr. Swift made one last effort Thursday and succeeded in bridging the obssm. The City Health Department yielded, right on tho eve of warm weather, and granted Mr. Lyons a permit to carry garbage through the city twice a day.

Mr. Lyons' friends say that the department has stultified Itself for the reason that if the garbage was a nuisance to be Interdicted in oold weather it is wrong to license a renewal of the nuisance In hot weather. The Newtown Health Board mot on Friday night to take final action for the expulsion of Mr. Swift. Then the nice workings of the wheel within the wheel were seen.

The word was passed that for Mr. Swift's sake Brooklyn bad asquieBced Iri Mr. LyonB' demands, and the countenances of the members becamo wreathed in smiles. It was no small vlotory this of a little town over the municipality. All of them, however, were not Mr.

Lyons' friends. Justice Brandon introdu cod tho following Resolved, That George Swift be and hereby is commanded to refrain from boiling bwIU at his place within this town, or carry such swill within the limits of this town. Justlee had boen Mr. Swift's obiof an tagoniat at previous meetings, wanted'the resolution laid on the table for ten days. He characterized Brooklyn's treatment of Mr.

Lyons as a pioco of blackmail. He thought that Mr. Swift should be notified to apply for a permit before action was taken. The Board thought otherwise, and Justice Brandon's resolution was adopted by tha following vote: Ayes Supervisor McGowan, Justices Brandon and Soheper and Town Clerk O'Gor man. NayB Dr.

Wickham and Justices Kniokman and McDonald. The action of Dr. Wickham was a greater surprise than the change of front of Justice MeDon. This action plaoed Mr. LyonB daMon to be ckod.

The compact was In danger of being broken would revoke higparmti. Another meeting of the Board was called and the previous action reconsidered. Mr. Swift is now allowed ten days longer in which tomske improvements that will satlsry Dr. Wickham that his pice is not a nuisance.

The citizens of Newtown are aroused aud they denounce the Health Board without stllnt. A very prominent citizen told an Eagle reporter last evening that the next Grand Jury would have an interesting matter to consider. Jamaica Is getting ready to make war on Mr. Swift regardless of what Newtown may do. THE MARINES AT THE ISTHMUS.

Colonel Herwood's Command on Guard How Two Men Were Shot. Panama, May 7. Political events have assumed such a favorable aspect that the extreme necessity which existed here one month ago for the presence of the strong arm of the United States Is gradually passing away. The marines, though still on guard, have somewhat relaxed the great caution and vigilance which marked their advent, and they are now, as a corps of observation, patiently awaiting the day when tbeir valuable services can be dispensed with and they can return home. Private David Froine, of Company (Captain Coch rauo'a) First Bottalllon, who waa shot and mortally wounded while trying to run the guard about midnight on the 27th by Private James McCauley of tha guard of the United Statos Bhlp Shonandoah, waa crawling upon his hands and knoes suspiciously under some cars when McCauley discovered him, and, receiving no answer after three challenges, he fired.

Tho ball entered bis left arm, pierced both lungs and come out of his right side. Ho lived and was conscious until the morning of tho 59tb, when he dted suddenly. He was buriod at sundown in tha foreign cemotery. His remains were accompanied to the grave by tho usual escort. On the afternoon of the same day Thomaa Brennan, second class fireman in the navy, being drunk, assaulted another fireman, a colored man named George.

A master at arms, assisted by a marine, interfered to preserve the peace and Brennan turned on them, approaching the marine, Private J. G. Murray, with a knife. Mnrray seized a Springfield rifle and shot him in tho leg, causing a wound from which ho died next day. A Board of Officers, composed of Captains Fagan and Cochrane and First Lieutenants Berryman and Whiting, ordered to Investigate the shooting of Fireman Brennan, have reported it unjustifiable and Murray will bo held for trial.

The same beard investigated the shooting of Prlvato Irvine, and reported that the orders of the sentinel. Private McCauley, authorized his action and that he shot Irvlno in tho lino of duty. Prlvote Irvine waB dressed in a red shirt and blue uniform trousers, and was without cap or jacket when shot. McCauley was for eight years a member of the Irish Constabulary, and has been two years in the Marine Corps, where he had already earned the reputation of beluga very strict sentinel. After the eveniB of the 24th and 2tb the luvasion of and withdrawal from Panama Admiral Jouott camo to Panama to personally superintend affatr3 and remained uutil tho 30th, when, after having materially assisted in settling the political muddle, saluting the re established flag and authority of Colombia, and giving the necessary orders for the embarhzaeut of the blue jackets belonging to tbo several ships, he returned to the Tennessee, at Asplnwall.

The Second Battalion of Marine, Captain Collum commanding, and the battery of field guns, under Lieutenant Alllbone, followod him, and the force collected at Pauama, which, on tho 25th numbered about 1,000 mou, has been reduced to five companies of the First Battalion, numbering about 250 men, undor Colonel Heywood, This force has been guarding tho Pacific terminus of tha railway, furnishing details for train guards and protection to numorous refugees, mostly Jamaicans, who have beon terrorized by the massacres at Paralso and Culebla and are here to purchase tickets and Eugllsh gold tor their return to Jamaica. The command has borno the heat and burden of the day, will be glad when Its turn comes to get away from yellow fever, mosquitoes, heat and daily scenes of violence which they have experienced. Their patience and attention to duty while here are worthy ot the highest commendation. It is noteworthy that no case of collision with or indignity from either the revolutionists or the Cauoan forces Is known to have occurred. Their atrict preservation of armed neutrality has ssoured them the respect and good will of both forces.

DON CAMEBOS SELLS HIS HOUSE. Washinotoh, May 18. Senator Don Cameron has sold his fine restdenco, located on Scott Circle, and which was built five years ago, to Mr. D. P.

Morgan, formerly of New York Cttr, for W.000, Exciting Steeplechases Witnessed by a Vast Crowd. Splendid Day's Sport at Cedarhurst Tom Boy, Mammonlst, Hobson's Choice, Flames, Bars and ChnrlcmaKne the Yictors The Opening Day at Brighton Beach An Extra Day's Racing at Kockaway to be Given on Tuesday. As the first big train from Long Island City, yestotday, for tho racea at Cedarhurst neared Woods burgh an unwontod Bight greeted tho ayes of tho excursionists. On every road converging thorn were prc eesaiona of people in all soita of vehicles, from a four In hand to a dilapidated farm wagon. It was not tbo advent of a circus, nor was it that form of popular sport onoe groatly admired on Long Inland but now omowhat fallen into dooay tho oampmeetlng.

It was simply the country people an their city cousins on their way to tho races at Cedarhurst, tho third day of the meeting of the Bockaway Stoeploohase Association. The train itself was a sight to look at. A dozen cars packed to suffocation is something not witnessed often in tboso quiet rural parts. Three suoh overloaded Bteam caravans loft Long Island City and tho contingent from Brooklyn was proportionately generous. The people ono met were in soma instances from localities as remote from each other as Toronto, Canada, and Galveston, Texas.

The largo proportion, of course, was from New York and Brooklyn, but all pacts of the country was represented, aud tho attendance from Washington waB quite suggestive of the fact that tho Spring mooting of tho National Jockey Club bad just closed, and that of tho Maryland Jockey Club had not yet begun. If there were any sporting gentry oast of the Alloghaoles not at Cedarhurst yosterday it must bavo been because they had como into bloody personal oonfilct and had becomo physically incapacitated for speculation. But it was sooioty, high toned society, sociotyaway up, you know, that showed Itself In tho most appalling orco. Tho club houso, which at Cedsr hnrst is select to the fullest extent of dudlsh elimination, could not contain one half of the superior bolngs for whom it is set apart.and tho favored of fortuue, birth, circumstance and tho survival of the fittest swarmed over into tho division set apart for oommon mortals, and pure gold commluglod with tho clay and grosser elemouts of humanity just ao if tho Maker of tho universe nevor had set tho seal of superiority on anybody. And the curled darlings and their gorgeously attired lady frionds got pushod about and trod upon jut as though thoy wore no better than anybody else.

Tho grand stand could not contain tho one half of those that sought sight of vantage and oomfort therein, and tho reporters, in the absence of the protecting polico, woro fairly crowded out of thoir placo3 by bewltchiug ladles to whom they could not refuse their soatB. There was barely standinu room in tbo space which is supposed to be the lawu, aud the crowd la tho inner field was quite cxtonsivo enough to have mado tho day a successful ono from tho standpoint of numbers. In other words, thoro was a big jam at Cedarhurst, and the universal expression was not only that tho association had a great future before it, but that it had been too modest by thrice over in its ostimato of its own powers of attraction. If there was ever a plain axlomatlo illustration of tho fact that the lovo for sport with thoroughbreds is in tho blood of the people that Illustration was tho attondanco at Cedarhurst yesterday. And tho day was simply perfect.

It had been almoit oppressively warm lu tho city before tho start. Out there, while not a clpud oppressed the radiance from above, a doliclously cool and invigorating breeze boomed along right from the sea in full sight and thon it seemed so good to tho bouI, wearied with too much Winter, to almost in real coniaot with nature, to rest the eye with tho delicate colors of grass and foliage and to feel the real earth and Bod beneath one's feet. This, the best part of tho day'a pleasure after all, the managers of the sport generously threw in. No excursionist from tho metropolis would have failed in ample repayment for time, trouble and ex penso had he simply landed among tho cedars and, throwing himself on the grass among tho trees, have Been nouo of tho spirited contests and displays of reckless gallantry by man and horse ovor tho obstacles of tbo steeplbcourse. But inaido the inclosure a rare day's enjoyment for the equine mad wa8 prepared.

Tho programme was generous one. Six races, firn of thcux rendered exciting by being ovor the jumps, wore on thacard. Tho discipline inforced by tho somewhat "fresh," but admirably earnest, managers made delay impusslblo. The bell that summoned the horses and the man of the flag to their positions at tho post waa inexorablo in its promptness. Captain Connor, as orsot as a now brigadier general and twice as atom, had riders, amateur nd professional, under electric control.

Thoro was no weariness of tho flesh reuultin from false starts. Clerk of the Course A. J. Kant had bis animated and aiubowhued avolrdupoii promptly weighed and re lorded aud everything moved off with a niaohlno like tegularlty that had in it Bomethlug that suggested the musio of tho sphere. Tho racea were a polo pony hurdle race, a flvo urloDg dash on tho flat, tho Bockaway Cup Light Weight Steeplechase, tlirea miles for gontloman riders a selling hurdle race, the Queena County Cup, tliroo miles over tho jumps, tho riders to bo members of the Uoekaway Hunt Club, and the groat Long Island Steeplechase over the full course of nearly four miles aud worth to tho winner not far from $2,000.

Tho polo pony hurdle race, one milo, brought out tho following Groy Fox, 160 lbs. (Mr. Horwood) Kir. mess, 153 lbs. (Mr.

Karnochau) Codarhurst, 153 lbs. (Mr. Jacobs), and Tom Boy, 1155 lbs. (Mr. Thome).

Tho betting was 0 to 5 against Tom Boy, 7 to 5 against Codarhurst, 10 to 1 against Grey Fox and Klrmess each. The comical ponies wero dispatched on thoir journey at the first attempt. Cedarhurst waB in front at the first hurdle and kept tho lead, followed by Tom Boy until nearing tho last jump, whou tho latter moved up snd tho obstruction was uegotiatod by the pair on even terms. A bit of fine ridipg then occurred to the finish amid great excitement. Tom Boy was carrying a penalty, but it was nol sufficient, undor Mr.

Thome's superior manipulation, to atop him, aud bo came away at last a winner by a length aud a half. Tho mutuals paid $9.83. The Town Purso, fivo furlongs, on tho flat, seven pounds extra for professional r.ders, had been filled by horses of such known spoed for a short distance as to fairly discomfit tho judgment of the speculators for a while, although later differentiation resulted in odds which accurately represented the real quality of the horsds. Thoro came to the post the following: Shelby Barnes, 152 lbs (Cross); Mammonlst, 152 lba. (Hay ward); Pope Leo, 152 lb3.

(Walker) Tarqulu, 150 Portont, 100 Phantom, 162 Big Mike, 152 Yonturo, 152 Analosta, 150 Eldorado, 152 Trenton, 150 and Cap. Lookout, 150 lbs. The betting was i to 5 against Mammonist, 3 to 1 against Sholby liainos, 1 to 1 against Popo Leo. 7 to I against Venture and any odds you ploaso against tho others. Aftor a eingls false etari Cantain Connor turned them looso, with Pope Loo slightly In front.

Before running a hundred yards Mammonlst, with no apparent effort, assumed control of affairs and made a show of bis field, spread eagling them as hs pleased. He won by a scoro of lengths, Shelby Barnes second, Pope Loo third. Mutuals paid $9.30. Five joined in tho parada behind tho red coated kcoper of the course on the way to the post in the raco for the Ilockaway Cup Light Weight Steeploobaso. Thoy were Dundoo, 155 lbs.

(Mr. Hitchcock); Cigarette, 165 lbs. (Mr. Work); Nettle, 155 lbs. (Mr.

Tborno); Hobsou'B Choice, 155 lbB. (Mr. Mortimer), and Pilot, 155 lbs. (Mr. Ponnistan).

It was 7 to 5 against Pilot, to 1 against Dundee, 2 to 1 against Cigarette, 6 to 1 against Nettle and 10 to 1 against Hobson's Choice. Hobson's Choice led from tho start ovor Iho water and to tho bank, Pilot eecond. At tho latter obstruction Dundee exchaugod places with tho leader. Tho pair wont out of sight head and head and roappearod in the same relation to each other, running as though yoked together to the last hurdle in the strotch, which thoy took simultaneously. Thonco to the winning post Hobson's Choico proved to havo more left in him, winning by a length and a halt Dundee second, a dozen lengths before Pilot, the others beaten out of sight.

Mutuals paid $75.10. Flvo showed up to compete for tho four hundred dollar prize in the mile and a half selling hurdle race. They were Flames, 138 (Mr. Harwood Emulation, 140 (Wynne Pawnee, 142 (Lockman Okolona, 139 (Mr. Howard,) aud Josso James, 130 (Ford.) Tho odds were 8 to 5 oach against Flames ind Emulation, 3 to 1 against Pawnee, and 10 to 1 eaoh iqaiust the others.

Pawnee led over the first two hur Jles. Thon Flames appeared in front, running thua to the last jump, which Pawnco took with blra. Thon Flames again drew away, both under whip and spur. A brilliant MruKgle resulted in a vlotory for Flames by a length and a half, Pawnee second, Jesse James third, Emulation fourth, Okolona fifth. Mutuals paid $10 B0.

Seven came to tho poBt in tho raoe for the Queens County Cup, Jester, 165 lbs. (Mr. Jacobs) Mars, 1G3 lbs. (Mr. Work) Lord Dufferln, 155 lbs.
