U. S. Supreme Court Upholds the Exclusion Act. Three of the Justices File Dissenting Opinions. JOHN CHINAMAN MUST GO. Decision of the Court Framed by Judge. Gray. The Celestials Not Happy Over the Outlook. Although the Representative at "Washington Hefuses to Commit Himself op Government in Any Way Concerning Probable Retaliatory Action The Hat Trimming Case Other Washington News. Washington', May 15. The supreme court ol the United states today affirmed the constitutionality of the ileary Chinese exclusion and registration act. Tne opinion was Announced by Justice (iray, Dtbera dissenting. The announcement that a decision in the case was expected attracted a largo attendance, an 1 tha fact that it was the last day of the term acjounted for the presence of an unusually '.arge array of attorneys within the bar, in:ludine Attorney- ieneral Olney, S'olicitorCieneral Aldrich, Senators Pugh, Dolph and Cockrell. Kx-Justice Strong and sßveral members of the diplomatic corps were interested spectator?. Justice Gray announcing tho judgment of the court said that the power of this nation to restrict or prohibit the immigration of ar.y aliens into the country or to require such aliens already in the country io remove therefrom was a well-settled principle of international law and was sonllrracd by on unbroken line of deliffior.a in this court. The legislative ower of the government had not ranscended any of ila constitutional limtations in the act unler consideration. It fas within its powtr to determine the egulations under which these aliens hcild be permitted to remain in the United States, or fai'ing to observe the egu:ations they fhould be required to eiive lue country. '1 he provisions of pec. r of the act. which ir; the purt f the law particularly at siit', were not inconsistent with the editions ami duties of the legislative and udicial departments of the government. The mode of procedure set forth in the lection is similar to that in other well -stahli.-med proceeding", such as the nabeas corpus and naturalization, fixing ihe requirements of citizenship and the l;ke, in which the judicial branch t the government accepted the ..'crirination of the executive upon the questions involve I. As to the requirements that the Chinese entitled to remain in this country should establish thai right by the evidence of one creditable white witness. Justice (iray eaid it was within the power of the legislature to determiee tha character of evidence that iniit hn received in a case at law and wl at forca should be given to the testimony tu ot'ered. Not discussing the wisdom nor the justice of the act in question, which was beyond the province of the judicial branch of the government, it remained only to say that the judgment of the circuit court for the southern district of New York in refusing to grant writs of habeas corpus to the several petitioners wu affirmed. Justice Gray tated that it had been impossible in the brief time elapsing since the hearing of the argument upon the petitions to prepare in writing the opinion of the court, but it would be tiled as eoon as possible. Justice llrewer Iient. At the conclusion o! Justice Cray's opinion. Justice Hrewer announced that be felt compelled to dissent from tha view of the majority of the court. He read his views at eome length, declaring, in subitance, that the act of 1S'J"J was unconstitutional, and that if it was upheld there was no guarantee that similar treatment might not be accorded to other classes of our population than the Chinese. Justice Field, who delivered the opinion of the supreme court of the United States in the first case under the exclusion act, also read a dissenting opinion. He held that there was a wide difference between exclusion of immigrants and the deportation of alien residents, and he characterized the act in the strongest language as sniiuocan and brutal, and as violating the institution in every section. He regretted . say that the decision of the court was . his mind fraught with the gravest dan- . srs to the priceless constitutional liberties of the people. Chler Justice Fuller' Opinion. Chief Justice Fuller also dissented from the opinion of the court. In his dissenting opinion the chief justice denied the loundnass of the proposition that the cases before the court were such as the political department of the government alone could deal with. It was in his view a judicial question, and however reluctant courts may be to pass upon the constitutionality of legislative acta it was the very essence of judicial duty to do ao when the discbarge of that duty was properly imposed upon it. ile entertained no doubt that th pro visions of the fifth and fifteenth amendments were universal in their application, and that while the general government was invested, so far as foreign countries were concerned, with all the powers necessary to the maintenance of its absolute independence and security it could not, in virtue of a supposed inherent sovereignty, absolutely deal with persons lawfully and peacefully within its domain. The act before the court was not an act to abrogate or repeal a treaty, nor to expel Chinamen lawfully here, and no such intent could be imputed to congress. Its object was to prescribe a method of regis tration, and the deportation denounced by way of punishment was, in bia view, an unusual punishment not authorized by the constitution. A Iteheisrlne; Move I. After the court had concluded announcement of opinions Mr. J. Hubley Aiutoa of counsel for the Chinese moved

for a rehearing of the case and an argument before a full bench at the next term. At present the court stands 5 to 3 'o support of the law. Justice Harlan be.ng absent. The court took the motion under advisement, the effect of which is to postpone until the motion is acted upon any proceeding under the judgment of the court announced today. No Orders Yet Issued. No orders had L en issued at the treasury department at the close of business today as to the deporting of Chinese under the Geary act. The instructions under which collectors of internal revenue and U. S. marshals are now operating direct them to make no arrests of unregistered Chinamen until further orders. These orders may be given tomorrow after cabinet meeting or deferred for a longer period. Secretary Carlisle, soon after he heard of the derision of the eupreme court, went to the executive mansion and had a conference with the president on the subject. He remained for an hour or more. Attorney-General Olney paid until the line of action to be pursued by our government was mapped out he could say nothing on the subject except that the department of justice had no money available for deporting Chinese. Conservative estimates place the amount necessary to deport the unregistered Chinese at $3,000,000, with only jKi.SOU available for the purpose. Intimations are heard that congress be convened to consider the matter. The sugstion is made in official circles here that Chines? unregistered may now goto the courts, and ask to be allowed to register and remain in the country. In any view of the case treasury officers expect to experience great difficulty in carrying out the mandate of the law that the Chinese must go. They look to the cabinet to solve tho problem at ita meeting tomorrow. At the Chinese legation the Chinese miuister courteously declined to express any opinion upon the decision of the court or to give anr intimation as to the course his government might deem proper to adopt under the circumstances. He especially declined to say anything upon the alleged retaliatory policy ot ordering the expulsion of Americans from China referred to in a tanr'raucieco dispatch this morning. The lint Trimming Cnse. The eupreme court of the United States today affirmed its previous ruling as laid down in the Langfeui cae, in what is popularly known as "the hat trimmings case." These came on an appeal from the judgments oi the circuit courts for the United States two from tho eastern district ot Pennsylvania and one from the northern district of Illinois, the controversy in each case being between the collector of the port and tho importers an to the rating to made upon material uaod for hat trimming. It is estimated at the treasury department that by the loss of the ' hat trimmings" ca?o the United States will be railed upon to refund from -'S. )0,0t0 to $l(),OÜÜ,OU. Some estimates placn it cs high as j.'IO.O' 'O.(xX). Secretary Foster's estimate was S--.t'0i10tK. Ho otlcred to compromise the case for S;;.(JO0,UX), but the compromise was not effected. During the past three years 2,000 of duties iu these cases have been refunded. Tlio New at San l'r."in in. San Fkastisc-o, May 15. "When the news that the U. S. supreme court had confirmed the constitutionality of the Chinese exclusion act reached this city extras were quickly on tbe streets. Information was quick in reaching the Chinese eection, where the IIO.OOO Chi nese reside, representing nearly one-third of tho entire number in the United States. They stood about in large groups before their own bulletin boards for some statement from the Six companies which bad compelled them to refuse to register. They were not inclined to accept the report through the American newspapers. During the first hour there was no outward excitement among the Chinese, but it was evident the news was distasteful and unexpected, as it had been telegraphed that the decision would turn the other way. Chinese Vice-Consul Cbong Oaang was seen by a reporter of the Associated Press, to whom heeaid: '"You aro the first to bring me this bad news. Although the Cieary law has been declared constitutional the government is not prepared to immediately carry out its provisions. It will entail great expense for which no appropriation is made. I have nothing to say in regard to the immediate effect of the final decision the supreme court will have on the Chinese in America." INDIANA NEWS.

The newspaper correspondents are keeping a sharp lookout for one Indianisn who has been here three times since the inauguration. They think that he is after an obscure office which can be procured without publicity. This Indianian held an office under President Cleveland's first administration, and was dismissed for having pawned two typewriting machines belonging to the government. He had tbe audacity to lurn the pawn checks over to tbe commissioner of his bureau when questioned about the matter. The government did not redeem them, but took possession of them, and Mr. Pawnbroker loeV, his money and the disgraced Idianian left for home between two nights. Democrats would be among the first to expose the appointment if any member of tbe delegation should be so indiscreet as to procure his appointment.

The WolfT news rserrcy asserts on semi-official authority that the reinforcement of the French troops stationed on tho eastern frontier of Franco is proceeding. On the earua semi-official authority it is ptated that men are at work night and day laying double rails on the line of the Paris it Nancy railway between Ulesmo and Uevigny in order to hasten the mobilization of the French troops. The Frankfort ih nj, commenting upon the foregoing Ftatement and other semi-official news dispatches of a similar character, scutes that the reports of tbe king are obviously intended to inlluenca the electors in the coming elections for the reichsta in favor of candidates who support the army bill. The letter published Saturday by the Vorn "! ri purported to have been written by Prince Kegeiit Albreeht of Prunswick, supposedly to Chancellor Yon Caprivi in an effort to bring about a reconciliation between the emperor and Prince Pismarck, has caused widespread newspaper comment and is viewed altogether from the political standpoint of the commentators. The IW'VV Ztitnug in its arttclo on the subject treats the letter as a political manuevcr akin to the Hemi-otlieiul reports of the movements of the French troops, which, in a previous article the paper pointed out, were published by the irovermuent organs for the sole purpose of creating alarm among the pe'ple with the object of securing support for candidates for the lleichetag favorable to tbe army bill.

DONHAM IS SUSTAINED.

THE TERRE HAUTE POSTOFFICE IMBROGLIO IS AT AN END. Postmaster-General nissell Decided Th.it the New Democratic Postmaster Has Been in the night Civil Service Keroriuer Foulke Takes a Different View of the Matter. Teure Haute, May 15. Special. The fierce fight here over the postoffice appointments, which has attracted national attention, brought out a decision from the postmaster-general today, and the result is the republican clerks and carriers, who thought thev wero protected by civil service rules, are about ready to throw up the spong) tonight, after one of the bitterest and most disgraceful fights on record against the authority of a democratic postmaster, going even to the extent of personally insulting Donham, and barricading, bolting and driving nails across government doors to keep him out. Senator Voorhees sect the following telegram this aiternoon: Washington. May 15, To the lion. John E. Lamb: Hare just iten the postmaster general. IIa sustains Donham at every point, including tbe removal of the insubordinate letter carriers, and the appcintmeut of decent, law-abiding currier in their place. Dor.hftm has been sp. pointed eustoilimi of the government building! ly Secretary Carlisle. I). Y. Voorhees. This settles tho exciting contest and etamps disapproval on tha action of the ropub'.icaa postoflica employes in declining to recognize Donham snd endeavoring to forcibly keep him out of his o I lice. According to the decision of Attorney (ieneral Olnev, the civil service extension of Jan. 5 last by President Harrison doss not go into eflect until the registry list is made up at YY"ahington. and that wdl take three weeKnin the case of tho Terre Haute office. Therefore the office is not protected by civil pervice rules. Wiiliam Dudley Foulke and Lucius T. hwift of the Indiana civil service reform association, who were here yesterday taking evidence, have opened war on Postmaster Donham for removing the republicans, but they do not seem to have any caee to stand on in view of ruling of the poatoffice department. Mr. Swift's Views. Mr. Swift has made the following statement: There is no question but that a conspiracy was formed weeks ai(o Ly a na.au oi political buccaneers, who claim tobe democrats, to get possession of the Terre Ilaute postotHce and ! rill It ui with their own men and cheat the ! civil eervice law. John I.atub and Crawford Fairbanks were concerned in this conspiracy. Money wes otfered to Postmaiter Greiner if he would resign, and lie was at the same time given to undutaud that if he refused eeusational charges would be malo against him. Hurry as fast as they could the civil service examination was likely to overt iks them before they could get the change made. Ci argea which had no foundation and which there was no attempt to prove were made against the local examining board and a week was gained by securing pobtponeiuen t of the examination. In his Senator Voorhees was engaged. Thstt u3u u tor labt Saturday and the commission to the new postmaster did net arrive until last Friday, lie undertook to take po4es.)ion at once by forcu and afterward diiobeyed ttie order of the department at Washington ifireoting hint to wait until Saturday night. The keys and oflioe were not turned over to him until Saturday night and until alter the examination had been held. Friday he cause 1 to he delivered to every employe of tiie otiice, except three, a notice of dismissal from the service, and on Saturday morning he made an inei:ectuaHtttempt to keep them out of tbe oflioe by force. Although we bad seen plenty of absolute disruitsals in writing, and signed by him, yet yesterday he told Mr. Foulke and myself that he had only dismissed two men the money-order elerk and the registry clerk. The motive of these operations was confessed on every band. From ths beginning the openly announcd object of all engaged in the business vra.s to fill up the oüice with their men and get ahead cf the civil service law. This was notdeuied up to the last moment and is not now. Saturday night i'ostmaster Dounatn said to the registry and money order clerks: "I interpret this law under the old spoils system, to the victor belong the spoils. It would not be treatiog Mr. lirophy aud Mr. Messitk (successors of these clerks) right, who have stood shoulder to shoulder with ine through the Ust campaign, not to give them plaoes." Donham was chairman of bis party county committee. Yesterday afternoon, (in the interview with Mr. Foulke and me.he said frankly that "they" felt that if they could get possession of the otlice before the examination, that they could make these changes and that wae the reason why they were in such a hurry. He further said that every one of the men he had appointed was hie friend, aud he was very anxious to get them ia; also, that he was opposed to the civil service law and wanted to avoid the ellect of iL This is a fine specimen of an oliicer to have charge ot the execution of the civil service law. He is the pliant tool of Voorhees and Lamb and antolutely under their control and direction. In the course of these operations the law aud the regulations have been aaamelestly cheated, swindled and violated. The administration will soon be in possession of all the tacts. Representing the Indiana civil servico reform association we have forwarded a report to the president and the postmaster-general. We shall not make this public until they have received it. 1 be closing paragraph of the report is as follows: "We feel that tbe civil service law is on trial in this office. The law should be in the hands of those who reepeot it aud woo will give it an honorable and lair enforcement. In thia case it is ia tbe hands of an officer who not only does not respect it, but who is its open and avowed enemy. The opportunities for evasion aud nullification In the hands of auch a man are too well known to need statement here." There is no question about the people of Terra Haute. They do not approve of thia Voorhees onslaught upon the civil service law. Ooeo more President Cleveland will have to decide between a group of the most vicious politicians and the people. He will not be in ignoranoe of the facts. X was repeatedly told in Terre Haute by democratic citizens that if the president would strengthen himself in the estimation of the people there, aa he had never done before, all he hae to do ia to choke oil this gang. Civil Service Commissioner Johnston will bare to bear hia share of responsibility for this transaction. Ilia attitude since he has been upon the commission has been such as to encourage this kind of assaults upon the law. He does not represent the eause of eivit service reiorm nor even the proper administration of the merit system. He must reooinize this, and if he is an honorable man he will get off from the commission and give place to suoh a democrat as John F. Andrew. DONHAM IS SUSTAINED. Ilow the Terre Haute Fight la Viewed at Washington. CCBKAU OF TUB SENTINEL, 11-0 Mnv YOUK-AV VE., 15. J Washixotox, D. C, May The postoffice department has settled the Terre Haute postoffice muddle by recognizing Donham, the new postmaster. In fact, there was nothing to eettle. Donham, armed with the commission of the president, took possession of the office, and is cow discharging the duties without further resistance. The civil service order cannot apply to Terre Haute until there la

an eligible list to draw from when a vacancy occurs, and it will require at least two months' time before one can be perfected. Meantime Donham can fire out all the republican mail carriers and appoint democrats in their places. Tbe discharge of mail carriers must be approved by the postoffice department. William Dudley Foulke and Lucius Swift, it is understood, are en route here to take a hand in the matter. Swift is still very active in the matter of the Indianapolis postoffice. He has communicated daily witn the president about the removal of Thompson and he may claim the credit of having delayed the removal of Tbompson. Had it not been tor Swift Thompson would have boen removed last week. The president has considered the case, but has not arrived at any conclusion. It is believed here that Carl Schurz took a hand in the matter also. However, Thompson will go.

PiTrsrrnc, May 15. An attempt was made by burglars at 4 o'clock yesterday morning to blow open the safe of the Beaver deposit bank at Peaver with dynamite. The robbers succeeded in forcing cpen the outer safe, but the inner one, containing over $20,000 in cash and valuable securities, withstood the chock. The explosion arouwed the town and the thieves were compelled to make a hasty departure, taking with them about J'JlK) in silver, which had been left in the outfcidn safe. There is no clue to tbe robbers. The bank is known as "Senator (Quay's Pank." and is the oldest financial concern in Heaver county. Indiana Disgraced Again. Sentinel I'Jltorial Tuesday Morning. Indiana hung her head in shame again yesterday, and with reason. A mob of her citizens had, the night before, stolen a railroad train and followed that up by murdering a fellow human being in cold blood. The mob's victim, it is true, had committed a cowardly assassination; but it was no more cowardly or cruel than that committed by the mob. There are no palliating circumstances purrounding the act of this band of lynchers. The men who composed it were not stirred to uncontrollable frenzy by witnessing a cold-blooded murder with their own eyes. They were not moved by momentary passion. They went about their work calmly and deliberately; they had plenty of time for reflection after they bad started on their dastardly errand while they were proceeding to Bedford on the Btolen train. There was nothing impulsive about their entire performance; they went man-hunting with far mure coolness and system than they would have pursued a sheep-worrying dog. If ever a mob committed cold-blooded murder it was at Bedford yesterday morning. Jackson and Lawrence counties have been disgraced by this lawless act the former more than the lattor, for it was in Jackson that the mob was formed. The law-abiding people of Indiana will now expect the officials of these counties to do their full duty in bringing the lynchers to justice. It ought not to be difficult to identify the guilty parties if proper effort is made, and that effort must be made if the reputation of Lawrence and Jackson counties as respectable communities is to be restored. There must be no delay, no compromise. The courts have been defied and the sovereignty of the people ignored. The courts and the people must assert themselves if respect for the law ia to be maintained. The lynchers have not so much offended against their victim aa against the whole people of the state. They must be taught a lesson. They must learn that so long aa they reepect the law they have the support of the whole people ot the commonwealth; but that, eo soon as they violate the law, then every man's hand is against them. It is only in this way that life and property can be made safe in Indiana. We have laws and courts created by ourselves. If they fail we can change them. But they must be upheld by all men. Their authority must not be questioned or defied if anarchy is t be avoided. The man who declares himself superior to the law is a com u on enemy and must be dealt with accordingly.

DIABLO S W ,

The 30 to 1 Shot Takes tho Brooklyn Handicap. Lamplighter Is Second and Leonawell Third. TIME OF THE RACE, 2:09. Lamplighter the Favorite of the Thousands, But Shaky Legs Proves Too Much for Him. The First Horse Gets $l8,00O, the Second $5,000 and the Third $2,0OO The Crowd Kstlmated at ao.OOO Scenes ot the Track Favorite Aro Successful at Churchill Downs tiumraariesof Haces at Other Points. New Youk, May 15. Amidst a deep and oppressive silence, Diablo, the aged son of Kolu8 Und Grace Darling, won tho rich Brooklyn handicap at Gravenend this afternoon in the presence of 30,00'J persons. Lamplighter, the favorite, who went to the post carrying a ton of money, was second, and Leonawell third. The winner's time was 2:00, made fractionally aa follows: , :C5J; A, :51; 3. 1:P; mile, 1:42; mile and a quarter, 2:00. The reason for tha chilly silence with which Diablo's victory was received is rather difficult of explanation. F.von though the winner was an extreme outsider, which fact, of course, had it effect, the race-poing public are too generous to allow that to weigh in the bakneo, and generally give applause where applause is duo. The probabilities are thet the people felt instinctively that they had in a measure been the victims of what is termed a grand coup. Diablo K?irled as Shaky. Diablo was regarded as being in the first flight in his two and three year old form, but after his third year hts legs became ehaky. Since then he has been regarded simply as a high-class se.linz plater, that was likely to break down permanently in any race in which he started. The borso has raced three times at the recent Eliza beth meeting, winning ouce out of three starts. Kaceland and Charade, two horses that ran in the handicap today, were the winners of these races, and beat him easily. His wonderful improvement in form today was, therefore, all the more stunning in its etiect. The Brooklyn handicap run today was the seventh in the history of the event, and was guaranteed to bo worth 5-5,01)0. Ol this sum the winner pets S1S.000, second horse 3,000, and the third $2,000. The lny snd Knir. The dav dawned bright and fair, much to the delight of the many thousands of persons that had determined to see the rich stakes contested for. As the day advanced and the bright weather prospects of the morning were fully realized, people set their faces toward the race course and foon the different driveways and railroads leading thereto assumed an animated appearance. By 11 o'clock a lew hundred spectators had already reached the course and these engerly seized upon the best points of vantage, which places they retained at least until the event of the day was decided. By noon Feveral thousand lovers ot the sport of kings had entered the enclosure, while the rapidly arriving trains deposited thousands of others outside every few minutes, who poured through the gates in a steady etreaoj. At this hour the scene inside the track was already one of bustle and animation. The grand stand was quite comfortably filled with ladies and their escorts, while on the lawn in the paddock, in the betting ehed, and in the field, men and boys were leisurely moving about, the men discussing the merits of the various horses and jockeys that were to engago in the great race, the boys looking eagerly around to satisfy their youthful curiosity. The crowd was gradually and steadily augmented until, when the bell rang for the first race, it was difficult to move about with any degree of comfort on the lawn, or in thebetling ring, while the club house and grand stand were filled to overflowing. At least 25,000 people bad crowdedjinto the track at this time. Still the trains were rapidly arriving with thousands of folks. At handicap time at least 30,000 persons were present. Srene at the Track. Tho scenes in and about the track were both picturesque and exciting. Looking from the grand stand the picture was a pretty one. -Off in the distance could bo seen a blue haze denoting where tbe Atlantic lay, and from its broad expanse a cool breeze came, pleasantly tempering the rays of tbe hot sun. J ost beyond the enclosure fresh green fields extended in every direction, while the lawn juat in front was one black maes of joking, bustling and pleasure-seeking humanity. The stand itself presented a charming scene, the bright and varied colored toilets of the ladies, 6howing in vivid contrast to the somber and subdued looking clothing of their escorts. The crowd moving about tho lawn was truly a cosmopolitan one. Bankers, merchants and lawyers elbowed their clerks; austere judges seemed to lose their dignity, and eagerly picked up words dropped by dirty little stable boys or pinched and weasenfaced iockeya. Touts, both black and white, could be seen hobnobbing with the sons of aristocracy, and the horny-handed mechanic stood in earnest confab with the millionaire. Everybody was anxious to hear opinions as to which horse would prove the winner of the big event, and nobody, at least on handicap day, was too high or too low to be consulted on the subject. The llettlng ptlnc;. The betting ring presented a wild and boisterous scene. The jam was something awful. A man would go in smiling and looking spick and span, but he would come out still smiling and happy, perhaps, but with his linen wilted and his clothing torn and bedraggled. Men rushed madly about looking for the odds they wanted and shaking greenbacks in tbe faces of the bookmakers when they found them, II. these talented indi-

viduals took the money end gave in exchange inr it a bit of paste board, with illegible characters traced on it, the betters

were pleased and happy ; but, if on the contrary, tbe monev was refused and the odds lowered a look of chagrin would ap pear. Tnere was rushing, pushing, lostling, shoving and hauling in plenty; but it was taken good-naturedly, for the crowd expected it. The first three races cn the card were a mere relish to the spectators, only serving to whet their appetite for the big event of tho day. When, therefore, the bugle called the horses to tbe post for the big event excitement was on tip-toe. The Horse. It was just 4:01 when the horses wert summoned from the paddock. Fidelio of William Daly's string was the first one to appear, quickly followed by hia stable companion, Terriiier. Then came Banquet, Nomad and Kaceland, Michel F. Dwyer'a candidates. "Old Bones," as Paceiand is aflociionately called, was loudly cheered, a was Jocky Garrison, who had the mount on Banquet. Charade was next to come on the track and following were Judge Morrow, the winnei ot last year's Brooklyn handicap, and Illume, the only representative. Mars was saddled at the other side of the track end did not psfs the eiand. Lamplighter, Diablo, Pickpocket and Leonawell were the last to appear and went to the poit together. Lamplighter waa enthusiastically applauded, the ovation showing where the hopes find do.lars of the public were. The usual parade waa dispensed with, the hordes going to the starting point as they do in any ordinary event.

Thirty thousand pairs of eyes were glued on the proudly stepping thoroughbreds as they lined up for the start. Illume broks a head of hi, field and spoiled what would have been a good start at the first attempt. Pickpocket's Ustiness was responsible for sorao further delay. After several futile attempts to get them inline for a start, Starter Powe got down out of his box and gave the jockeys a good rating. At the next break Lamplighter, Pickpocket and Judge Morrow came to the head of the stretch without the others. Finally, at 4:10 o'clock, the horses got the llag to an almost perfect ptart. Judge Morrow, Leonawell, Terriiier and Fidelio were a little in the lead, with Lamplighter. Charai?, Pickpocket Illume and Mars in a bunch ia the rear. TerriGer, true to the Daly tactics shot to the front and set a clinking pace paet the stand and into th back stretch. Here Ienonawell, who had been struggling for his head, passed Terri tier and took a lead of two lengths. Tbe race all through the back stretch was an exceedingly pretty one. All of the horses were running well together and within striking distance of the leader. At the far turn Leonawell slightly increased his lead and a shout went up from his admirers. Their joy was ehort lived, however, for turning into the home stretch Diablo, Lamplighter, Judge Morrow and Illume moved up and joined the leader. An LvciMuc Finish. A desperate and highly exciting drive ensued, the horses running almost head and head all through, the stretch. Less than a quarter of a furlong from the wire Diablo bezan to draw out, and eoon getting clear of the wire, won a grand race by a length and a half. Lamplighter beat the tired but game Leonawell a neck for the place. Ihume, who was fourth, a nose away, was lapped to the withers by Pickpocket and Charade, who had come from, the rear in tho last fifty yards. Taral, who rode the winner, was placed; on the Feat of a floral horse shoe and carried in triumph from tho judge's stand to the paddock:. A floral honseshoe was placed about the neck of tbe winning horse as he was led from the track. Scarcely a ripple of applause greeted these ceremonies. Ab good as 00 to 1 against could be obtained against Diablo's chances in the early betting. 60 little were his prospects of winning the race considered. Straight mutual tickets on him, of which only twelve were sold, paid 2.14.50. One hundred and seven !ook makers did business in the betting ring, but they were utterly unequal to tbe task of taking in the money ofiered them by the crowds.
