BIder says that, as the police have no right of arrest except on a warrant or for crime committed in their sight, nor far interference, unless to prevent a breach of the peace, there wil be no chance of the subordinates of Commissioner Bingham committing contempt of court, especially as the clause adds that individual at the race track are only exempt hen "not having committed or engaged in any act claimed by the Police Commissioner or his subordinates to be criminal or disorderly." If this means anything, said Mr. Elder, it means that arrests can be made If, in the opinion of the police, there has been a violation of the gambling law. It was stated by Deputy Commissioner Baker this morning that he would have a conference during the morning with Commissioner Bingham, after which both police officials would see Corporation Counsel Pendleton. The June Grand Jury has at least another week of work to do before it is discharged, and, from what is considered a good source, It was Intimated to-day that on Monday morning that body would begin an Investigation of present conditions at the race track. Mr.

Elder was asked about it. and he wouldn't admit It: neither would he deny the story. "This office will go on ust ihe same as It has been doing." said Mr. Elder, "since the passage of the bills prohibiting betting.

Peace having been officially declared, the three companies of the Eighth Regi ment, coast artillery, N.

O. N. sta tioned at Fort Schuyler, and the second battalion of the Seventy-first Regiment, which has been acting as Infantry, sup port during the week, broke camp this morning rnd proceeded, after battalion formations under cimmand of Majors Bruch and Wilson, to the post dock, where they boarded a chartered steam boat en route for their "home stations" in Manhattan. The last night at the fort was one which will linger for a long time In the memories of both officers and enlisted men. The f.nal attack of the enemy enae in defeat some- time before 11 o'clock, but as battle conditions still prevailed theoretically taps was not sounded.

Instead, regulars and National Guardsmen proceeded to celebrate their victory in good Boldier fashion. Lieutenant Colonel Elbert G. Blunt, the post commander. felicitated the National Guard officers, expressing the opinion that their work had been well performed. Then there followed a mutual interchange of greetings and expressions of good will between the officers under his command and the wearers of shoulder straps in tho visiting battalion.

Their Transport Is the New and Powerful Battleship New Hampshire. I JOURNEY TO TAKE SIX DAYS. Ship Has Crew of 600 Men and la Shorthanded at That The Isthmus Situation. The United States battleship i New Hampshire, one of the newest and swiftest ships in the American navy, sailed, from the Navy Yard this afternoon for Colon. Panama.

All the morning it was bustle on the big battleship and sweethearts, sisters and wives gathered to. sea the men off on their voyage to the Isthmus. The New Hampshire which is under the command of Captain Winslow, goes to Panama for the purpose of adding to the marine force at the Isthmus of Panama, which, It 1b expected, will number fully 1,500 men and take part In efforts to preserve the peace during tho coming elections. There Is Intense local feeling between the factions of Arias and Obaldia, who are candidates for the presidency of the young republic and Uncle Sam, It is said, feels the necessity of showing a strong hand. The New Hampshire sailed with a crew of 600 men.

The ship bad about 800 men but was obliged to transfer 200 of that number to the receiving ship Hancock, owing to lack of accommodations. The marine contingent which is under the command of Lieutenant Colonel consisted of 300 men drawn from various points. Tbe New Hampshire, according to reports at the Navy Yard, to-day, will sail direct for Colon and will make no stops on her way. It is expected that she will complete the voyage in six days, and on arriving at Colon will transfer the marines to thQ unuea stales snip Wyoming ana men return in time to take part in the 300th anniversary of the settlement of Quebec. The New Hampshire carries a band with her, and to-day, when the splendidly equipped new battleship left the yard, patriotic airs were much in evidence.

There were tear-stained cheeks and stifled sobs as the band played tbe sailor's favorite. "The Girl I Left Behind Me." The ship took on a good supply of coal during the week, and to-day was busy In taking on ammunition. It was said that inasmuch as she saluted when she en-: tered the Navy Yard, sne would nre no salute on leaving. This is in accord-ance with modern regulations, which provide that a ship entering and leaving a navy yard need not make the customary salute due the station more than once within a period of twenve months. The New Hampshire was launched on March 19 last, at the New York Ship building Yards, Camden, N.

Gales Ferry, June 20 The ae tlve work of the Yale and Harvard crews will probably end to-night, and the days'' of next week will be devoted to resf'wita, just enough rowing exercise to keep the men in the pink of condition. Critical observers of tbe work of both crews say that there is little to choose between the rowing and the condition of the rival varsity eights, and the outcome of the race would appear to rest with the coaches in keeping their men from fihgtstale" between now and Thursday.

In the four-mile practice rows Har vard has done a little better than but allowances made for differing condi tions of tide, wind and currents, which latter are peculiar In the river, puts the eights almost on par. Probably in no previous years for quite a while back has the wind been so perverse when tidal conditions were right for a practice row, and in consequence Yale has had much less rowing that 'usual and the crew's longer stay In quarters here has brought no advantage. Harvard has not minded the rough water so much and has worked out about ths usual amount. Quite a few visitors In both the Yale and Harvard quarters are expected over Sunday and early next week. The official statistics of the Yale crew were given out today.

(Special to the Eagle.) Pine Camp, Carthage, N. June 20 Yesterday's programme concluded the hard work of the first week of the encampment. For three successive days the majority of the troops have ridden or walked over most of the country within a radius of five miles of headquarters, and have engaged in three notable conflicts. The first was fought last Wednesday on a level plateau about three miles west of camp, along the Black River. It was strictly a cavalry engagement.

In which the Brooklyn cavalrymen, assisted by the Manhattan horsemen, won a notable victory. The second engagement was fought near Hubbard's Corners, east of the camp. The regular infantry, artillery and cavalry, and the state cavalry participated. The Blue force, which Squadron was a part, marched rom camp north to Sterlingville, three miles away; turned east toward Rcadville to Intercept an opposing convoy and wagon train that was advancing from North Wilna. The two armies met on a succession of sand dunes, with the Brooklyn boys defending the left flank.

Once again the Brooklyn men won the laurel wreath of victory. The march from the camp to the point of contact was over twenty miles of heavy sandy soil, yet the men did not seem to mind It at all. Thursday night all of the troops in camp. Including the Twenty-third Regiment and the three Massachusetts organizations, left the instruction camp and bivouacked about three miles to five miles away. The Blue force, of which the Bedford avenue infantrymen formed the advance guard, bivouacked just south of Sterlingville.

That place, now a humble hamlet, at one time was a prosperous mining town. Iron mines were located about four miles west of the place, and the ruins of the old smelter works can still be seen. A bivouac camp is the crudest Bort of a camp. Eaoh man carries half of a dog tent, so called because, when set up, it resembles closely a dog kennel. The two halves are buttoned together over a frame made of rough branches bewn from a nearby tree.

Each tent accommodates two men, who have to crawl on their hands and knees to enter it. For a bed, the rubber poncho is stretched out on the ground, and on top of this an army blanket. Tho soldier then rolls himself up in these and rests his head, if he be an Infantryman, on his haversack, and If he be a cavalryman, on his saddle bags. In Thursday night's march out each man was supplied with two rounds of rations. They had to brew their own coffee.

The Brown forces bivouaced at Ward's Corners, near Evens' Mills, and the problem for each side was to reach the bridge at Great Bend and hold it until the main body arrived. The scene of operations is best Illustrated by an equilateral triangle of which the town of Great Bend Is the apex. The Blue force ascended the easterly side and the Browns the westerly side. Captain Grout and Troop Six of the squadron reached the bridge first and took possession of it in the name of the Browns. Clattering after him was Captain John O'Ryan and one section of the First Battery of Manhattan.

Grout's men dismounted anil occupied a strong position behind the crest of the high banks ot the Black River. O'Ryan unllmbered his piece a1 a crossroads beneath a sheltering clump of trees. He trained It so as to command the approach of the bridge, wli'ch was down a declivity past a rambling frame hotel set In the side of the hill. The Blues then came into position, anl after a spirited fire and rally drove the Browns back from their position. An explosive shell from a battery of the Third Artillery.

U. S. put Captain O'Ryan and his men out of action. The Browns advanced on the bridge in three parallel columns along three separate roads. The Second and Third Battalions of the Twenty-third, acting as a support to the field artillery, successfully checked two of these, and the Massachusetts regiments looked after the third, consisting of the regular co'ored troops.

Major Du Bois' battalion captured two troops of Squadron whlln Major Wells was making his famous charge across the bridge. Major Martin did not far? so well. His entire command was put out mf action by shrapnel shot from the enemy's field pieces. The Twenty-third Regiment camp was a lively and joyous place last night. Their victory over the Brooklyn made them exultant.

Up to yester-lay's fight the squadron had been undefeated. The "dough boys" now declare themselves to be vindicated and will no longer stand the aspersions cast upon them by the allegedly superior cavalrymen. During the action there were two severe showers. It Is believed that the concussion caused by the bombarding of the field pieces occasioned the rain. After the showers the sun came out extremely hot and on the "hike" back cams several of the Massachusetts men gave out and had to receive medical attention.

The heat was too great. The Eighth Massachusetts suffered particularly. ltd members seem to be extremely young and tender. The Brooklyn men, however, were unaffected. The torrid heat of yesterday vas in marked contrast to the cold dnmpnes of Sunday afternoon and Monday.

To make It more disagreeable than usual, a hot wind from the south has sprung up the last two days that rea.hes r.n almost cyclonic velocity and continues until sundown. The tents on the Hog's Back receive the full brunt of the -vbd. and it has been found necesinrv to erect frames in all of them as a protection against the onslaught of Boreas. The camp Is as clean and healthful today as the day on which the troops arrived. The sanitary arrangements are perfect.

All grease and decaying vegetable matter, all slops, are thrown into cans, that are collected each day and dumped Into a vast pit on the outskirts of the camp. This pit is 40 feet In diameter and 6 feet deep. Its sides are sloping and walled up with fire brick. A flue is constructed in the center and the floor slopes to one side. A brisk Are Is started early every morning and the contents of the waste cans dumped upon It liquid and all.

Everything Is consumed in tho course of the day except the old bottles and tin cans that are collected with the other waste. The liquid finds a low level In one side of the pit and Is rapidly evaporated by the heat, leaving the grease and solid matter It contains to be consumed by the flames, All the water used for bathing purposes and for dir.h washing is caught In trenches and holes and allowed to seep into the earth, which is verv norous. It li the thpnrv of thp RAnitnrv nffli-ers here that the camp will be as clean on the last day of the maneuvers as It was before the arrival of the troops. The half bnttallon of engineers which was detailed to prepare the camp site Is entitled to a great deal ot credit. It has been here since the middle of May and Is commanded by Major J.

P. Jpwey. The ramp site proper Is two and one-half miles long and about a mile wide. This space was entirely cleared of underbrush. Several other sites suitable for maneuvers were also clenrcd.

The practicability of motorcycles in time of war as means of communication between the front and headquarters has been demonstrated. During all three actions of this week, metsengers from headquarters carried instructions to the firing line on motorcycles, or nere sent urnnrinr nnmllrl tn tho lines in uparch of Information or In carrying reports. It is nrobaMe that these vehicles, which up to this time have teen chiefly Identified with the police force and used In overhauling speeding autolsts, may as- READY TO PAY EVERY CLAIM.

Women nurses co-operated yesterday with visiting doctors and members of the house staff in fighting a fire In a barn in the rear of the Lutheran Hospital. LThe blaze started on the roof of the hay barn which Is situated about fifty feet In the rear of the hospital building.

Roofers had been at work. The hospital and about 150 patients were for a time in danger, and one of the nurses, quick to grasp the situation, ran to the piano and started to play. This, coupled with assurances from the nurses and staff, quieted the patients. The damage was slight. FOR GATES AT 86TH STREET.

Twenty-third Regiment Made a Funny Break at the Battle of Great Bend Bridge. (Special to the Eagle.) Pine Camp, Carthage, N. June 2C -Governor Hughes and party arrived here at General Grant's headquarters at 10 o'clock this morning. His excellency wai accompanied by Adjutant General Nelson H. Henry.

Col. Treadwell. the military secsetary; Mayor Francis L. Hugo of Watertown. and other officials of that city.

The journey to the camp was made from Watertown in automobiles, General Grant having dispatched his machine to Watertown to be placed at the disposal of the governor. The entire force of state cavalry encamped here met the governor at the edge of the reservation near Great Bend and escorted him to the Hog's Back. The Twenty-third Regiment, under the com mand of Colonel W. A. Stokes, was drawn up at the base of the hill, and the First Battery, Captain John O.

Ryan was stationed at right angles to the Twenty-third's line, 200 yards distant. At the governor alighted from his auto to greet General Grant and his staff the First Battery commenced firing the gub-ernational salute of seventeen guns. The cavalry escort was drawn up in a parallel line Joining the Twenty-third, and General Grant and his staff escorted the Governor and his party down along the ranks in review. The ceremony was simple, but Impressive, and smacked In no way of pageantry. It was the first ceremonial indulged in thus far, beyond the usual military ceremonies such as guardsmount, etc.

The Governor and escort and the mayor of Watertown were entertained at luncheon by General Grant. Prior to- this the commanding officers and their staffs of all troops on the reservation called to pay their respects to His Excellency. the New York officers having the right of line. Hundreds of citizens from nearby towns were present at the reception and were given an opportunity to shake the officials' bands. This afternoon there are baseball games and athletic events.

On July 4 a great field day will be held on the athletic field just north of the cavalry camp. Instead of being captured or annihilated. as stated In yesterday's account of the battle of Great Bend Bridge. Major Martin and the battalion of the Twenty-third Regiment were the prime factors in a very funny Incident. It was in the line of their duty, while they were acting as skirmishers through a wooded area, and goes to show that war Is not althogether hell, General Sherman to the contrary notwithstanding, The report that Martin and his men had been rendered "hors de combat" was correct, but not In the manner related.

They seem to have committed "less majeste" In capturing the envious commanding general, and were ruled out for the defense. The Third Battalion was deploying throut, some brush and timber land. A number of scouts were sent ahead, and one of these reported to Major Martin that he had seen a Brown scout 300 yards away, and what he supposed was a half platoon of cavalry at 800 yards. The major gave the command for all to bite the dust and to capture the scout if they could. The latter spied the Brooklyn men and began to beat back to make a report of that fact.

He was a good runner, and there was no possibility of taking him alive, so a squad opened fire on him and slew him mercilessly. The supposed cavalry continued to advance at a rapid gait In close formation. When it was 200 yards distant, Company Captain Edwin Cadet commanding, opened fire on it from a thicket. One shot should have been sufficient warning for the little troop, but its members failed to understand the meaning of the firing, although they well might have, had the Brooklyn men's guns been filled with real steel bullets. On it came to the lines of the Third Battalion, and its apparent leader shouted to the Brooklyn men to face about that they were shooting the wrong way.

It should be explained that Major Martin and his men were dressed In brown, no blue shirts having been available; but the Browns were supposed to understand this. Upon receiving the officer's command, Major Martin begged leave to ask the officer wbo he was. This seemed to nettle the latter, and he repeated his command. Now, Major Martin should be excused for being skeptical this time because the officer and his men were clad in rubber coats and he could not tell whether they wore blue or brown, or yellow or red. "Who are you?" the major repeated In a firm but courteous voice.

The com-mnnder of the Brown forces answered the officer. "Then you are my prisoner," exclaimed the major, as he took hold of the officer's bridle rein and leveled his revolver at him. The major's men did good team work at this Juncture and covered the hostile general's staff. The tableau thus formed lookod for all the world like en opera bouffe scene. The captured officer, who happened to be Brigadier General E.

P. Clarke of the Browns, coughed nervously and then laughed. He explained that pending the arrival of the chief umpire he would accept the major's hospitality, but that he would protest his capture because the major and his men were disguised as Browns when tbey should have been distinguished by wearing blue shirts. When the umpire arrived, a few min- utes later, he ruled the major and hi battalion out of action on that account. This Is declared to be unfair, for the general himself was disguised In a blue rubber coat, and he should have known better the location of his own firing lines and not jeopardized himself and his cause by walking into the enemy's ranks.

This was all going on while Major Wells was rushing the brigade. The major did not last long enough to enjoy the fruits of his victory, however, for, theoretically, he got In the way of a piece of shrapnel, was tagged by the umpire and sent to the renr In theo retically, dying condition. It is reported that he did die later, like the actors on the stage, only to come to life again after the smoke of battle had cleared away. Yesterday was the most strenuous day ypf. Immediately after breakfast the Twenty-third Regiment and other or ganizations were called upon to march four miles in an hour and a rapid pace without a halt quarter at ine roaos were hpavv and the sun was hot.

It Was an ordeal even for the regulars, many of I whom said they had never been called upon to work so hard before. Last night the Massachusetts colonels and their staffs called on Colonel Stokes LARGE CROWD AT NASSAU Douglas Wins From Dunning in First Round. Wine Divisions in the Field for Golf Honors, Besides a Handicap Match. (Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. June 20 What seems destined to prove the hottest day of the season tp-date this morning ushered In the second and last day of the Nassau County Club's annual golf 'tournament.

For the first time this year, the player carried damp grass in their hats and a few sun shades were seen. Walter J. TVavis was again resplendent in the famous Tappan coat, which furnished musical accompaniment. "Oh, listen to the bands" said everybody. Travis was much Interested in the cablegrams from the British open championship and expressed to Eagle correspondent his admiration for James Braid's wonderful score.

There are nine divisions in the field, in addition to the handicap match for which about 100 men are entered, so the day will be choked to th" brim with sport. The chief Interest, however, la in the first two eights. In the first round Bert Allen, Fox Hills, is opposing E. M. Wild, Cranford.

and Chadwick Sawyer, Midland. I is against Walter J. Travis, Garden City. iThe final la the Garden City was be tween Sawver and Travis, who also met Mast season. Fate brings them together stranaely.

In the second set tlitrora Dunning of Nassau, and Williams College Us paired with Findlay S. Douglass of Nassau, and Fred Herreschoff of Garden City Is' opposing Fred Snare of Engle- wood. The wagering is that Travis will meet B. M. Wild, the high school student, in the final.

The latter If he had endurance would surely make a creditable showing. Howard F. Whitney of Nassau should win the third division, although Charles A. Spofford of Garden City was putting like great guns yeBterday. The gallery stead-, fly Increased.

Charles Presbrey, kicked on his handicap of 7, saying he was allowed 12 at Tox Hills. He says he doesn't care to appear very old, but he prefers his friends should consider him as "more than seven." EARLY HANDICAP SCORES. S. T. Ooodell.
