BIG CROWD' AT RACES

SrATV TlIOlS.D PAY ADMISSION to sni: Tin: closij contests. A Camera 1"m1 to Determine One Heat Holly Itynn, Nytllo. nud Fred Arthur tlie "Winner. If the attendance, and consequently the financial end. of Tuesday's races at the fair grounds, were not very satisfactory, it was fully compn.ated for by the immense crowd that thronged the grounds and the lrand stand yesterday afternoon in anticipation of a close contest in the 2:12 pace, as well as two other good races of a loaer class. The track was in the very best condition, and horsemen looked for firstclass sport; nor were they disappointed. The attendance was probably in excess of ",000. The first race took five heats to decide it and the second required four heats, something quit different from the three walkaways of the u.y before, when every race was won in three straight heats. The most exciting heat of the day was the third, of the first race, the 2:00 trot. The start was the best of the day, Aith the outside horse. Electric King, about a half length ahead of Holly 11 van at the pole when he passed under the wire. The other horses were all between the two, with the outer horses a little ahead of those inside. It was anybody's heat till the wire was passed, and all through the heat the chances seemed about even between Roily Ityan, Otalgic and Lassie Wilkes, with Roily Ryan the favorite in the heat. It was declared a dead heat between Otalgic and Roily Ryan, with Bessie Wilkes an uncomfortably close second. The second race, the 2:20 pace, was expected to be exciting, as it was believed that the horses, with the possible exception of Anderson Belle, were about evenly matched. Red Thorne was the favorite at even money, but the others were not far behind. The first heat was closely contested by Nydia and Red Thorne; so close, in fact, that, although the judges believed Red Thorne to be the winner, they would not decide it until a negative from an Instantaneous camera had been developed, showing the position of the horses at the finish. The negative showed Red Thorn in the lead i with Nydia only a nose behind. The next three heats were taken by Nydia with comparative ease. It was expected that the last race, the 2:12 pace, would furnish the most excitement of the afternoon, b t, on the contrary, it was almost entirely devoid of interest. Jack Bowers was the favorite, and the betting was 2 to 1 on him against the field. Fred Arthur was the pole horse, and took the lead In each heat, always closely followed by Jack Bowers the entire distance around. Boers's driver tried to win the second heat by whipping in, but failed. In the third heat Fred Arthur and Jack Bowers were neck and neck at the half, but from there Arthur went alone, Bowers not coming closer than a length at any time. Uhe attendance was all that could have been expected, although it is believed that a large number were unable to get out from lack of transportation facilities. The secretary said last night that there were ever i'even thousand paid admissions to the grounds, besides several hundred deadHeads. The two bookmakers and the one pool seller on the ground did a good business. They could lose but little at the odds they offered. The favorites were not in it, with the exception of Fred Arthur, who was a questionable favorite, in the 2:12 xace. lie started as a favorite at 3 to 2, and showed by winning three straight heat3 that his friends judgement was not misplaced. Cambridge Girl entered the race at 3 to 1, but sold after the first heat at the betters' own figures. The other three were 2 to 1. and Jack Bowers, by taking second in the first heat, sold at even money, a shorter price than that on the horse which was winning- the heats. In the first race, the 2:30 trot. Electric King was the favorite, at 2 to 1, but gave way after the first heat to Roily Ryan, at 5 to 1 before and 1 to 2 after the heat. Otalsric sold at 3 to . 1 before the first, but went down to 2 to 1 after the first. George Wilii3, the horse that was distanced, sold at 8 to 1. Red Thorne was the favorite In the 2:2") pace, and although he took 6ixth place in the second, after winning the rirst, he still sold at even money, and continued even till after Nydia had won the second and third heats. Nydia began the race at 3 to 1, but after winning the second heat sold at even money, and 3 to 5 after taking two heats. Freeland sold at 3 to, 1 straight through, with Angle D. the same. GOOD TROTTING CONTEST. Thero were six starters in the 2:20 trot, and after several breaks they got away with Otalgic at the pole. lie led to the eighth, with Hapriness, Electric King and Bessie Wilkes close up. At the eighth Bes-j-ie Wilkes took the lead, with Otalgic and Electric King at her neck. Electric King broke, and Roily Ryan pressed forward, taking the lead at the head of the back stretch. lie broke at the tialf, but got steady again, continuing to lead, with Otalgic a close second. In the stretch Roily Ryan spurted and crossed the wire a length ahead of Otalgic. with Electric King again holding third place. Bessie Wilkes and Happiness folia Aed, while George Willis was distanced. In the second heat the six horses got away very nearly even at the first trial, with Roily Ryan at the pole, but about fourth horse back at the wire. Before they reached the quarter he had taken the lead, with Otalgic a close second and gradually closing on Roily Ryan, and Bessie Wilkes about a length behind. Otalgic broke, but went to work again without any Inss. Before reaching the three-fighths Bessie Wilkes began gaining, and before the half was reached she iAas almost neck and neck with Otalgic, and crowding Roily Ryan for first place, with Happiness only a length behind. At the thre-quarters the four were bunched so closely that it was almost impossible to tell which was in the lead. Electric King then began gaining slowly but surely. Peddicord was too anxious, though, and by trying to force him too hard caused him to fall back and finish fourth, when he had almost won first place. With Electric King out of the way. Roily Ryan. Otalgic and Bessie Wilkes finished in the order- named, jvith little daylight between them. The five horses went in the third heat with nearly an even start, after scoring once, with Roily Ryan at the pole and Electric King holding the outside and the lead. Roily Ryan and Otalgic broke before reaching the eighth, "out recovered without much loss, leaving Electric King still in the lead and Bessie Wilkes a close second. Bessie Wilkes broke, but recovered, and. with an extra spurt, crawled up to a half length behind the leader. Roily Ryan took his place beside Bessie Wilkes, and together they pissed Electric King, who did not recover hi? position during the heat. At the half Otalgic passed the two leaders p-nd took the position as well as the lend. Roily Ryan gradually let out and passed Ota!gie, closely followed by Bessie Wilkes. Before the seven-eighths was reached Otalgic had recovered first place from Roll Ryan; then on the stretch Bessie Wilkes took the first place again, but for only a moment, finishing a close second, with a dead heat between Roily Ryan and Otalgic. The close finish of the three horses made this the most exciting heat of the day. The first eft'ort in the fo;rrth heat was a start, with Bessie Wilkes trailing. Roily Ryan took the lead and maintained It v i 11 the stretch was reached, when he broke, letting Otalgic win by a half length. Otalgic started second and held that place until he advanced to first. The heit was uninteresting and would have been won by Roily Ryan If his break had occurred any place except on the stretch, but It was then too I:te for him to entirely recover his los and he finished only a scant half length behind the winner. Otalgia took the pole in the fifth he:it and got the lead, but went to fifth place in the first eighth, with Roily Ryan in the lead, followed by Bessie Wilkes, Electric King and Happiness, all altout a length apart. Rollv Ryan led at the half by three lengths, with the positions of the others unchanged. Bessie Wilkes crawled up and would have passed liolly Ryan except for a break, which allowed Roily Ryan to win the heat and race by about four lengths. A CAMERA AS JUDGE. The six horses in the first heat of the 2:20 pace were pent away on the first tri:l. with Red Thorne in the lead at the tale. Nydla crossed to the pole and led the bunch at the eighth. Tattle D. and Nydla were toother at the half. From there Rcl Thorne began to pull away from the rear horses, and when the wire was crossed the judges declined to give a decision without the aid of the kodac. The

result showed Red Thorne first, Nydla second and Electric King third. The second heat began with the worst start of the day. Rattle D. being In the l?ad by nearly a length. At the eighth Battle. D. still held the lead, with Freeland following at a length. The quarter

by two lengths, followed by Freeland end Nydla, with the others scattered. This po.I(am . i .111 . 1 1 1 . passed, when Freeland began to gain, and at the three-quarters the two leaders were neck and neck, with Nydla just beginning to show herself. She soon closed in with Battle D. and Freeland and left the other three bunched about five lengths behind. When the stretch was reached Nydla nad lost nearly a length, but she soon recovered it and passed Battle V., Freeland dropping behind and ending a slow fourth, with Nydia first by more than a length and Red Thorne bringing up the rear. Another poor start was made in the third. Red Thorne took the lead. Dut at the quarter lost it to Battie D., with Anrie D. second and pressing hard for the first place. Battie D., Angle D., Nydia and Freeland were bunched, with Red Thome a close fifth, when the half was passed. Red Thorne was gaining, and at five-eighths had passed Freeland. who was fast losing ground. Battie D. then began 1-j give way, and at the seven-eighths Nydla. Angle D. and Red Thorne were struggling for first, with Battie D. in the fourth place. Freeland parsed Battle D. and the finish was made in the order named. The fourth heat began without prospect of defeating Nydia, which made it an uninteresting affair. It was slow, and no effort seemed to be made to take the lead from the Fort Wayne mare. Red Thorne had a "cinch" on second money. Nydia tool: the lead at the start and at the naif took the pole from Battie D., leading the string by over two lengths. Angle D. was in the third place, following Freeland, but before the stretch was reached she passed him, ending second, with Nydia first by over a length. THE SUMMARIES.

From the small amount of betting done at the Grand Hotel last night it is almost impossible to name the favorites. In the 2:50 pace the owner of Sidmont backed him in several Instances at $5 against the field at $10. He was also taken as first choice In the pools several times at $10, with others running from $5 to $S and a total of not over $30 in the pools. In the 2:20 trot Seaside seemed to be the favorite, being selected as first choice in most cases, but not enough pools were sold in this class to warrant the statement that Seaside is the favorite. Even less interest was manifested in the betting on the other race. Frank Agan seemed to lead, but Bourbon Patchen held his own fairly well. Not over a hundred persons gathered in the billiard room at the Grand Hotel, and most of them were there only to satisfy their curiosity, and not to invest their money. The betting was hardly an index of what it may be to-day. Such is the case particularly in the 2:50 class. S?veral horses entered in this class have the ability to beat 2:50 by 10 to 20 seconds. Greenlnnder miA Ills Record. The patrons of the races yesterday were much disappointed that Greenlander did not go against his record. He hold3 the world's record to a wagon two miles in 4:32 and one mile in 2:12. The spectators all anxiously awaited this event, which had been announced for to-day. but waited in vain. He i.vas brought on the track in har ness and made a short dash of about a quarter to show his movement, but that was as far as the exhibition of his qualities went. He goes to Buffalo next week to go against Hamlin's Nightingale in a two-mile race to a wagon for a stake of $'VX0 and the championship of the world. Those who know the horse confidently expect him to lower his now famous record, as the track he will go on Is said to be a fast ore, probably equaling the Terre Haute track, where he made his present record. A race iigainst his record -.vculd have been an evtnt worth seeing, and It was with a feeling of keen disappointment that the large number of spectators saw him leave tho track to go to the stable after making a quarter exhibition dash. Slreet-Cnr Service Overtaxed. Quite a number of people who wanted to see the racs yesterday were prevented by the lack of transjtortation facilities. The street-car company did all in its power to handle the crowd, but on account of the attractions elsewhere It was impossible ! to furnish enough cr,rs on some of the lln?s j leading to th points of interest. The fair : grounds lines were provided fairly well '.vlth cars, and even better than the lines to some i of th? other attractions, but f till the a; ,ici ity was not equal to the crowd. To- lay ! r.!l who want to leach the races w:ll l.e able to Co fo, as there are no o:iur atI tractions to demand streot cars, except tv:e ' ball game. The otnctuls of the company

say that sufficient cars will be provided, so that the passengers trill not even be crowded to-day. Murphy's Profitable Patriotism. Martin Murphy, deputy county treasurer, was on the sward in frcnt of the grandstand when the first race was called. He saw that Roily Ryan's driver wore a green cap. The patriotic combination of Irish name, Irish color and Fourth of July occasion was too much to be withstood and Murphy paid $2 for a little ticket. The horse was then at long odds, and the bookmaker paid Murphy $1S for the return of the ticket. This was one of the heaviest plunges of the day. AFFAIRS UF TilE RAILWAYS.

Pluck of the Pennsylvania Admired by iv Husfness Man. Said a merchant on South Meridian street, who has watched the movements in relation to the strike: "One can but admire the pluck the Pennsylvania Company and the Vandalia have shown in the movement of their trains In defiance of the strikers. Railroad men, business men, and even the strikers admit that it is wonderful. This is only the result of training the men to be loyal and promoting them as opportunity offers, and a thorough system of doing things. As the long express trains, with two or three Pullmans attached, come into the station and depart, in view of the crowds, who are either there as strikers or lookers on, and everything moves like clockwork, the power of thorough organization is illustrated in a marked manner, and calls for expressions of appreciation on the part of every law and order-loving man." Lest this might be taken as a reflection on some of the other roads which have been less fortunate, the Big Four, for instance, it is proper to state that no reflection is intended. The conditions on the Big Four are much different. The Pennsylvania has for forty years been laying the foundation for this great system of roads and of operating them, while tha- Big Four is tea roads, practically, thrown together by consolidation in the last few years, and all were operated on about as many different methods as there are different descriptions of engines on that system. Since Mr. Van Winkle, a year ago, became general super intendent, a marked advance has been made In systematizing matters on the road and harmonizing the methods of operating the lines, and it is no fault of his that the men on any division go out; this is evidenced in the fact that no grievances had been presented by the men who went out. The manner the trains of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton have been moved is also very creditable. One of the strong points with the Pennsylvania Company . is that In the selection of men it exercises more than ordinary care to see that they are men who will be loyal and obedient to superiors. In an address delivered before the railroad men at Pittsburg, by Chauncey M. Depew, he said the loyalty of the employes of the Pennsylvania road was unsurpassed by those of any railroad In the world. Personal, Local and General Notes. There are now twenty high officials of Western lines abroad. President Reinhart, of the Santa Fe, Is resting at Warm Springs, Va. J. Lowrie Bell entered upon his duties as traffic manager of the Jersey Central on Monday last. The Western passenger agents have fallen in line and will extend Asbury Park excursion tickets to Sept. 1. Charles Bishop, the well-known Adams Express messenger, was married on Monday to a young lady of New Albany, Ind. E. W. Hosmer, who for nearly a quarter of a century has been car inspector of the Panhandle line at Logansport, died in that city on Tuesday, of kidney trouble. General Passenger Agent Bassett, of the Pittsburg & Western, who went to the Pacific coast on a health-seeking tour, is held at Sacramento by the Pullman strike. Officers, agents and employes of the new Southern railway will now breathe easier, as the new traffic manager, J. M. Culp, ha3 by circular said that all, until further notice, are to retain their respective positions. None of the employes of the Evansville & Terre Haute who struck and are now out of the employment of the company have called for their pay, although agents at stations were authorized to pay them. ' illf.1: A The Boston & Maine is another New England road to announce that hereafter all repairs to cars will-be done by contract, and that the company will have no further need for painters, upholsterers and carpenters. The security holders of the Wabash, it Is stated, approve the company's not paying the interest on the A debenture bonds, amounting to 1210.000, payable July 1, as the earnings of the road the last t few months did not justify it. President Ingalls, of the Bis Four and the Chesapeake & Ohio, and Traffic Manager Walker, of the Chesapeake & Ohio, it i3 said, will cut short their visit in Europe and return as early as possible on account of the strike troubles. E. M. Neel, superintendent of the St. Louis division of the Big Four, who a month ago went to the Pacific coast, returned on Tuesday. He was detained on the Santa Fe road by a strike, and on reaching home ran into a strike of his own. The likelihood of pooling being' legalized is causing much speculation as to who will be the joint agents in the more important Western railroad centers. George Blanchard is to be commissioner, it is said, and will have the appointment of a large number of joint agents. Th Chicago Railway Age terms the American Railway Union "the anti-railway upas." It advises the brotherhoods of engineers, firemen, trainmen and switchmen not to pull the A. R. IT. chestnuts out of the fire, letting those who put them in burn their fingers in getting them out. The Vandalia is being greatly benefited by the tie-up of the St. Louis division of the Big Four, which is a singular feature of the strike, as the Big Four, which hauls no Pullman cars, 13 tied up, and the Vandalia. which hauls ten each way dally, is running its trains unmolested. Considering the lively rate war which has been In progress for some weeks on Southern lines the exhibit of earnings of the Louisville & Nashville for May is much of a surprise. The gross earnings amounted to $1,431,469, a decrease as compared with May. 183, of The net earnings were $BD.43, a decrease this year of $61,623. The Indianapolis superintendents' association held its regular meeting yesterday and there was a full attendance. It was decided to hold meetings daily at 10 o'clock until the strike troubles were over. Superintendent Mansfield, of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, was appointed as compiler of all information to be furnished to the papers regarding the strike, or matters indirectly connected with it which the public would be interested in. A WOUNDED CRUISER. The Montgomery's Injuries May Keep Her Out of Commission Three Months. NORFOLK, Va., July 4. The damage to the cruiser Montgomery is of such a character that it may take the vessel out of commission for three months or more. It is the opinion of officers of the ship and the representatives of the builders ho accompanied the veisel on her trial trip that no blame can attach to any one, and that the break was purely an accident of the kind which cannot be avoided. The engine trouble was caused by a loose nut on the crank pin end of the connecting rod. It was jfst ten minutes to 11 o'clock, yesterday morning when the break occurred. There was a terrible explosion on loard, followed bv escape of steam, but it lasted only a few seconds, for steam was at once turned off. Preparations had just begun for the speed trial, and the steam gauge showed 140 pounds. The damage was entirely due to the high pressure engine in the port side of the vessel, and the machinery to be replaced will be the cylinder covering, ne.v lining to the cylinder, new crank pin. caps, brasses and bolts and a n;w steam chest. In all other tests to which the vessel was put she behaved splendidly. Commendation for Mntthew. Louisville Courier-Journal.

PREPARING FOR WAR

JAPAX DETERMINED TO MAIXTAIX IIEIl OCCUPATION OF COIIEA. China Getting Ready to Oast the Invader Fire nnri Karthqnnke The Plague Decreasing:. VICTORIA, B. C, July 4. The Empress of China, eleven days from Yokohama, reports that Japan is continuing active war preparations, and the strained relations between Japan and China are as much a feature of the Asiatic trouble as the Corean rebellion. Corea, alarmed at the movements of her neighbors, pleads that both withdraw their troops from her shores and war ships from her harbors. The plans of Japan are secret and as fast as native papers make any announcements about the war they are suppressed. Her navy 13 at Its best, the coasts being scoured for service and everything breathes a spirit of trouble. A cable received from Yokohama announces that, on June 13, the government army defeated the Togakito, recovering Sensshu, the commander of the government troops being captured by the rebels, but his life, so far, has been spared. The Japanese war ships are. at present, in Corean waters tha Latsuchima, the coast defense flagship; Yacshino, Yamato, Misashl, Takaeo, Chyada and Tsukishl Kan, cruisers; Agaki and Chokaikan, gunboats, and Yaeyamakan, dispatch boat. The Japanese army, which landed at Juneichan, on June 12, has divided into two divisions, one being left at Juenichan to protect the Japanese there while the other division of 1,200 men proceeded to Seoul, on the 14th, to protect the legation and Japanese there. When later news reached Pekln, an urgent telegram was sent to the Viceroy from Minaveryuan. The Viceroy inspected the troops under him and ordered them to prepare for departure. A telegram received on the 19th. at Tokio, from Shanghai, reads: "There is a rumor that registration of the vessels of the China Merchant Navigation Company will be transferred to Germany." If the rumor is true and the vessels have been transferred to the registration of other powers it may be concluded that China has taken the first step toward preparation for war. On June 17 the village of Honmura, adjoining Yokohama, was destroyed by fire, upwards of one thousand houses having been consumed, and three days afterward the heaviest earthquake experienced In Yokohama and Tokio since 1880 occurred. In both places there has been loss of lives and great destruction of property. The fire started in a restaurant and for three hours spread with great rapidity. A desperate fight was made to stop It, and it was made successful through aid of men from ner Majesty's ship Century. The los3 amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars and several thousand people are homeless and destitute. Toklo's loss of life by the eartho.uake is severe, twenty-six persons having been killed and many wounded, the number of the latter not being known. Casualties to property are in the hundreds. The destruction, on the whole, of chimneys, roofs and buildings has been very serious. Fortunately, the catastrophe took place by day instead of night, or fire would have added horrors. The officers of the Empress of China say when they left Yokohama the plague was decreasing. Although the ship touched at all Chinese ports, she brought no Chinese passengers as a matter of precaution. When at Hong Kong, thousands of coolies were leaving there for Canton and other ports. The city is, In a measure, deserted. Foreigners there are still free from disease and do not show'any alarm. The official report for Hong Kong says: Deaths from the ah of May up to the Ilth of June, noon. 1.461; grand total, 1,517. ItiisMisi JealotiM. WASHINGTON, July 4. It is said at the Japanese legation that there has been no occupation of Corean territory except in accordance with treaty stipulations and for the purpose of protecting Japanese interests. If Russia has taken diplomatic cognizance of the matter nothing is known of it here, though such action is thought not unlikely. The presence of Chinese and Japanese troops in Corea is now a subject of diplomatic correspondence between the two countries interested, and it was said that it would not be surprising if a more extensive trouble arose from what is now apparently a mere speck on the uorizon. Russia Is extremely jealous of any advances in Corea by other European and Asiatic countries. She has now but one port of entry of importance on the Pacific coast and this is closed for six months in the year. KVASIVK HETTY GUEEX. DiRpoMiiiK of Her Property In Trusty Out of Itench of Income Tax. New York Sun. Out in Chicago it has been discovered that Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in America, is disposing of her property in trust, and. because the trustee in the case of every transfer there is Mrs. Green's son Edward, the shrewd Chicago guessers have concluded that it is the purpose of the millionairess to get her property out of the reach of the income tax collectors, and that she is forehanded in doing it in anticipation of the passage of the Wilson bill. The reason this conclusion has-been reached is because the residence of Edward Green, the son, is given in the trust deeds as London, Middlesex county, England. If there is one thing harder than another it is to find Hetty Green, and the thing uvhich is cencededly harder than finding her is to get her to talk about her affairs for the benefit of the curious public. Mrs. Green Is classified among the migratory animals by the tax ottlcials of this section of I the United States, who, for many years. nave inea to locate ner tor the purpose of making her contribute from her immense wealth to the support of the government which protects her in her property rights. One thing known about her, and that is not generally known, is that she has a place in the Chemical National Rank, where she transacts business daily. Just where that place may be is known to those who have been lucky enough to pass the preliminary examination to which they ara subjected by Cashier Quinlan of the bank. The Sun reporter who tried to see Mrs. Green and ask her concerning the truth of the rumor that she was preparing to evade tha payment of the possible income tax had the satisfaction of sending his card to Mrs. Green and getting the information through Mr. Quinlan that Mrs. Green said she was too busy to talk about that or any other subject. The belief in this city la that Mrs. Green was not trying to evade th payment of an income tax through her Chicago transactions, but that she was doing there what she is supposed to have done here, placed her property in such a way that it cannot be reached by the local tax officers. The million-and-a-half-dollar mortgage placed on the Stewart Building recently by Mr. Henry Hilton is referred to as an instance of the way Mrs. Green disposes of her property, for it is generally understood that the money was furnished by her, although the mortgagee named in the transfer is the Real Estate Loan and Trust Company. The same company is popularly supposed to have be$n the medium for the creation of many other trust estates for Mrs. Green, but the officers of the company will supplyno information on that point. Mrs. -Green has no real estate in this city. Her holdings here are all of personal property. They are supposed to mount into the millions, but the tax commissioners have never been very successful in finding them. It Is understood this year that they have met with some success, and that when the assessment rolls are exhibited on July 2 Mrs. Hetty Green's name will te found on th?m set off against a good round sum on which she will be expected to pay taxe3. Support for Slucrerly. New York Morning Advertiser. Our esteemed contemporary, the Turf, Field and Farm, has indorsed Mr. Singerly's campaign, of course from the sporting and breeding point of view. There undoubtedly is sporting and breeding blood in Mr. Singerly's veins of a pure and lofty strain, but we doubt if this will suffice. The hard and flinty Cleveland times have knocked all the sporting propensities out of the people of Pennsylvania, and thi3 indorsement of our sjorty contemporary may really hurt Mr. Sinsrerly. We prefer to run him on the Holstein platform. Same Principle. New York Commercial Advertiser. Five glas works in Muncie, Ind., have c!es.-d and 1,0) persons are thrown out of employment. Under the Pullman strike principle every glass-worker in the country should quit work until the Muncie glass capit.disis reopen their shops. The factory owners may not be able to make money, but that is of no consequence. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Award.
