A GIGANTIC BROTHERHOOD SCHEME Alleged Efforts to Buy Up All the League Players. I GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAT "War has been declared between the Brook lyn and St. Louis ball teams. Von der Ahe emphatically refuses to allow his team to play on Brooklyn gronnds, and his team forfeited another came to Brooklyn yester day. Von der Ahe says his players are afraid of their lives on Brooklyn grounds. It is stated that a gigantic scheme is on loot to buy up all the League players. Kett Xobk, September 8. Between 15,000 and 20,000 people went to Kidgewood Tart, Long Island, to-day to witness the game between the St Louis and Brooklyn teams. The St Louis team refused to play: in fact, the players did not even go to the grounds. "When the time for the game to begin arrived Umpire Goldsmith formally presented the game to the Brooklyn Club by the score of 9 to 0. Tne crowds had been admitted to the grounds free, admission to the grand stand only being charged. To amuse the crowd an exhibition game was arranged. After a five-inning game Foutz' s nine deleated O'Brien's nine 7 to 5. C. H. Byrne, manager of the Brooklyn term, was highly indignant at the action of the St. Louis Club, and will do everything in his power to make the Western champions suffer dearly. MR BTKXE'S OPIKIOK. "Von der Abe has no right to set himself up as Judge and jury in this case." said Mr. Byrne to-night. "His team is liable to expulsion. A special meeting of the Association will be hela in a day or two, and then the matter will be settled." At 11 P. H. on Saturday Mr. Byrne received the following telegram: C H. Byrne, President Brooklyn Baseball Club: "I refuse to allow my club to play any more games in Brooklyn. Chris Vox dee Ahe." On receipt of this telegram Mr. Byms imme diately wired to President Wikoff. at Colum bus, as follows: "Von der Ahe refuses to allow his club play in Brooklyn. Please notify him that if he fails to play games scheduled he subjects himself to expulsion. We have a tribunal to which he can appeal if any injustice has been done him. Telegraph immediately to Grand Central Hotel, New York City." WHAT VON DEB AHE SATS. Mr. Von der Ahe, President of the St. Louis Club, was seen to-night, and said that he had good reasons for not taking his team to Ridge wood Park. He said be understood the rulings in the case perfectly, and was willing to abide by the decision of the Association. He seems to think that he has been unjustly treated, not only in Brooklyn but in other cities, and he proposes to make a test case of it. He said: "If witb their police arrangements at Washing ton Park on Saturday thev could not protect us, how would they do it at Kidgewood without police? I was stoned at Kidgewood last year, and I don't want any more of it. My players told me last night that they would not go to Bidgewood for $1,000 each. They were afraid of their lives. The crowd assaulted McCarthy. Robinson and Comiskey on Saturday, and things did look dangerous for me at one time. If I bad had a pistol 1 might have been tempted to use it. Goldsmith acknowledged to our men that he knew it was too dark to play that game on Saturday." BUNCHED THEIR HITS. The Cowboys Use the Stick and Beat Columbus, Colttkbus, O.. September 8.

It took 13 innings to decide the Athletic Louisville game at Gloucester Point to-day. The fielding on both sides was nrst-class, Raymond, Tomney, Bierbauer, Fennelly and Graham especially distinguishing themselves by the character and the number of the chances they accepted. The visitors did nothing with McMahon until the eighth, when they knocked out two runs and secured the lead. The Athletics tied the score in their half of the ninth and made three in the twelfth. Louisville developed a batting streak in the last half of the twelfth and scored three runs on Tomnej's base on balls, Shannon and Flanagan's doubles and Vaughan's single.

A New Organization to Hen All the National Lrncur Flayers. There is another rumor afloat about a new organization of the National League ball play ers which Is even more sensational than any of ft predecessors. This time it comes from In- dlanapolis and is to the effect that a Mr. Al bert Johnson, of Cleveland, and J. M. Ward, of the New York have adopted a plan whereby all the League players will be asked to sign a contract to play for Mr. Johnson next season. Tins done, it is stated, the players will tell the League magnates when the latter want the players to sign: "We have made otherarrango ments." The cities underlined ty this rumored organ ization are: Boston. Chicago. Cleveland, Brooklyn, Cincinnati. Philadelphia and others to be selected. It is further stated that Mr. Johnson is now in the Eastcompletlngarrange ments for the gigantic change. It may not lie unsafe to say that if Mr. Johnson baa entered into such a wild scheme, Johnny Ward has had enongh of practical baseball experience to prevent his making a fool of himself in any such nay. A GENERAL WEEDING OUT. The IiOuiiTlIle Club to be Gone Over With a Fine Comb, rsrxcxii. telegram to the DisrATcn.i Louisville, Kt., September 8. The work of weeding out the old members of the Louis ville clnb has already begun. That only four or five of the old men will be found playing with the team next season is certain. The matter has already been canvassed by the board of directors, and a determination has been arrived at. Pete Browning and Ewing have been laid off for the remainder of the season. Ewing was taKen up to Cincinnati and dropped there, although no publication bas been made of the fact. Hearing a report to this effect, the writer called on Vice President Botto, President Parsons still being absent, and asked him if it was true. "Well, 1 guess it is," said Mr. Botto. with a meaning smile. "I have heard the same report that j on have, and I tnmk it is true. What was the use of keeping him any longer, when he hasn't pitched a winning game for months. He starts in well at the beginning of the sea son, but he can't bold out. In my opinion there are four or five others that ought to go the same way. If they can't play good ball, lay them off without pay until they do. and get rid of tbem for good if they don't improve." This is the determination of ibe present man agement. The men to be retained, it is stated on the authority of ono of the stockholders, are Raymond, Weaver, fetratton, Vaughan, Cook, and perhaps Ehret. Hecker has let down as a pitcher, and cannot play a base;Tommyisa fine fielder but makes costly errors; Wolf is too fat and Is an uncertain player, and Shannnon is a shirker. Manager Chapman has made arrange ments to buy eight new men and Ryan, McDer mott, and Gilligan arc three of these. Little confidence is felt in tbem here. They mav play well in a minor league, but it is the belief of local stockholders that they are not fast enough for the association. Saturday' Lenc.no Games.

He Thinks Searle and Gaudnnr Will be the Winners. McKeespokt, September 8. A man could hardly be more confident of winning a race than Gaudaur is, and in this he is backed up by his able trainer, Al Hamm, and. strange to sry. both of the contestants of next Friday's race are confident O'Conner will defeat Searle to-morrow, and Hamm is of the opinion that it will be Searle the winner. Gaudaur rowed in his new boat to-day twice. He says it is the best boat he ever had, and he feels when using it as though he had rowed in it for a year. Teemer is afraid he will have to use his old boat He telegraphed Ruddock to night to learn if the boat would be shipped Tuesday. He hopes he will not be disappointed, although he says he can row as well in the old shell, bt. John preferred a race with Teemer, as he would like to see the thing decided be tween be and Gaudaur, as be isnot so sure that Jake is a better oarsman than Teemer. "The winner of tbis race will be the chal lenger of the victor of to-morrow, and the loser will be in the 'soup,' " so says an oarsman, therefore it can be expected that Friday's con test will be one for supremacy and blood. Hamm said calmly and quietly in answer to Suenes this evening that he thought that audaur will win the race, as he is in the best of condition, and is of the opinion that Teemer isnot. "Wait until the day of the race and I will show tbem what condition 1 am in," says Teemer. "Then again," says Hamm, "people are not aware of what Gaudaur can do, and if I would say it it would not be credited, and upon being told that it would be stated that Gaucaur recently rowed a trial (three miles) at St. Louis in less than 19 minutes, and that he will do as well on the straight away course. Teemer's friend, W. A. Nickcrson, of Boston, arrived here to-night, and will look after any further arrangements for the race that Teemer would have to attend to. There are many persons looking for bets, but as yet few of any consequence have been made. Last evening a Teemer man offered j $1,000 to JSOO on Teemer, and an upriver man look iu une ui iecuicrs aamirers, wno is interested in him, is looking for Gaudaur money, being desirous of taking a few hun dred, hut sajs he his not round any as yet St. John will arrive in Pittsburg Thursday morning next. Both of the oarsmen were out on the river twice today but did not meet. t Speaking of Hamm's story about Gaudaur's three mile tnal in which the St, Louis oarsman is credited with making such good time, Teemer smiled aud remarked something which sonnded like rats. How did they hold the newspapers down on it said Teemer. , Wheeling Knees. Wheeling, W. Va., September 8. The opening of the State Fair of West Virginia to morrow promises to be a great success.

There is a movement on foot to cnt down the salaries of the ball players. Presi dent Young talks on the subject. New York is confident of winning the pennant. Boston has been playing to extraordinary crowds. ISPECXAL COEnESrONDENCE or THE DISPATCK.J Washington, September 8. "We have only been practicing with the Senators this week," said Manager Loftus, of the Cleve lands, "and now we are going North to tackle the leaders in the League race for championship honors. It has been very galling to lose by a single run so often as we have this season, but we hope and trust that we have struck a winning lead at last and we are going to camp on the trail of the New Yorks aud Bostons nezt week. There will be lively work ahead for these clubs since all onr players are in good condition and anxious to gather in a few scalps. Chi cago will have to be very careful, for we will make life a burden for Anson and his aggregation to keep in front of us until the Ides of October." One thing is certain, the Clevelands have proven a Jonah to the Washingtons, for the best that the local team could do with them was to play a tie game when they were here before and the Babies enjoy the distinction of not having lost .a game at the capital, which is more than any other club in the National League can say. It was a disappointment to many of the pa trons of the game here that Charlie Snyder was unable to play behind the bat for the Clevelands. as he has hosts of admirers in this city, where he first began to play baseball pro fessionally under the tutelage of President Young. But a strained tendon in his leg pre vented Snyder from going in hereto show what he is still capable of, and the spectators at the games this week must blame the Indianapolis pUyer who injured the well-known catcher and thus prevented him from showing off before his numerous friends. After polishing off the Philadelphlas in such good style it was ex pected that the Senators would be able to make a more creditable showing against the Clevelands than they did, but they were not in the games played from start to finish. There was an absence of the dash and vim that char acterized the contests with the Phillies, and some of the most uncharitable of the specta tors decUre that the boys exerted tbemselves too much last week in doing Captain Irwin's former companions in arms. "Most asxiredly I am dissatisfied with Keele," said Walter Hewett who pays the salaries of the Washington Club, "and especi al! as he does not evince a desire to take care of himself. It is puzzling me now to know what has become of Krock, forhe will certainly be needed here in the course of the next few days." From the tenor of Manager Hewett's re marks there is a strong probability that in the course of a week or so there will be a decided shaking up of the Washington team and that some of the boys who bave been soldiering will findthat Hewett manages to keep himself pretty well informed as to their actions. Two of the men are booked for release and their places will not be filled unless some excellent material can be obtained between now and the close of the championship sea son. "AH talk of Washington coing out of the League is nonsense," continued Mr. Hewett, "and it is likely that I will not even change the grounds next sea son. Good inducements are offered me to remain at Capitol Park and a removal of the ball grounds to another part of the city cannot be made to pay as well as the present location. Six minutes in thebest time that can be made from the cars to the most eligibly situated of the new locations proposed for my acceptance, and that would not do at all'. Three lines of street cars and cabs now render it an easy task for a lover of baseball to visit Capitol Park, which is but a block distant from two of the lines, and the Herdic cabs run to the park gates. After considering the matter I have concluded to remain as lam for another year, and I trust this will effectually dispose ot all stories that I contemplate drawing out of the League next season." A disposition is manifested on the part of halt of the clubs composing the League to go in for a reduction of players' salaries at the next annual meeting, and it is asserted by the pro moters of the scheme that such a step must be taken if the national pastime is to be per petuated. President Young, while he is non-committal on the subject, for the reason, as he stated, that it is a matter for the League magnates to settle among themselves, does not hesitate to say that certain clubs can pay high salaries ahd not feel it as mnch comparatively as some of the younger branches of the League do the effort to raise smaller sums for their players. Wash ington has done pretty well financially thfc sea son, the sale of a number of season tickets having been a very advantageous speculation for Manager Hewett, but recently there has been a falling off in the crouds, despite the fact that the Senators have played winning ball. People begin to get tired even of a good thing as the season advances here, but it seems to be the reverse at Boston and New York, where, according to the accounts of recent game, the attendance has been quadrupled over that at tbe games when the championship season was in its infancy. There is going to be music in tbe air in November for a reduction of salaries, and especially in view of the agitation that has sprung up for the substitution ot two umpires for one next season, and which will entail anotherand considerable item of expend iture upon tbe League. There is no question of the ability of Boston, New York and Chicago to pay big salaries to their players, but the other fivo clubs think that they ought to have a say iu tbe matter, for, with the exception of Washington, it is not generally believed that the remainder of the Leacrue cities have been very big bonanzas this j car so far as financial returns are con cerned. R. M. Labneb. GOSSIP FROM BOSTON. Charier Foley Tells of tbe Bean Eaters' Great Financial Success. rCOItltESrONDENCE OF THE DISPATCH. Boston, September 7. Tne nerves of the baseball cranks are almost shattered, and all on account of the exciting race between Bos ton and New York for tbe coveted League pen nant. "What's tbe scorer' cries the business man, the bootblack and newsboy. They are all on the same lay waiting anxiously for the score. The Bostons have been playing before the largest crowds on record, but I think the directors would prefer to make a little less if they could only land the pennant. "If we can't win it this year then we will never get there." This Is tbe cry heard on all sides, and people will sneer with disgust if you ask them if second place is not good enough. The Bos tons have had hard luck: they should have downed the Phillies in the last contest in Philadelohia, but poor judgment on Rad bourne's part lost the came. The Bostons were a run ahead with two men ont, when Thompson smashed one of Radbuurne's slow balls, which sent two runners across the pan and won tbe game. Thompson is tbe king pin batter of the Philadelphia clnb, and for that reason Rad bourne should have sent him to first on balls. Tbis would bring a weaker man to the bat, and chances were in Boston's favor. Clarkson or Keefe would never allow Thompson to hit tho ball, but I suppose tbe once great Radbourne was "too game" to weaken. It is hoped that he will profit by his Philadelphia experience, for it is much better to weaken on a great bats man that to lose a game. But where was Cap tain Kelly; why didn't he give "Rad" the tipT The Bostons had a big chance to down tbe Giants in the last contest. Tbe score was 6 to 0 in Boston's favor at one time, but Mongolian colored errors (deep yellow) by the Boston players allowed New York to climb tbe golden stairs, and the rans ended in a tie Bto9. Tbirty-tHO thousand people witnessed the three New York games, and over 20,000 nitnesed the three games in the city of Brotherlv Love, making over 50,000 people that the Bostons nayea to in a wees. Ana wnai a row at mat first rmiaaeiphla game! "I'm lucky to be alive," said Mike Kelly after tbe disgraceful disturbance "There may be a freat deal of motherly love in Philadelphia, but can't see where the 'brotherly love comes. PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, in. It should be named the city of Cowardly Jack Glasscock, with his uncontrollable band of Hoosler Hottentots, blew into town in time to play a morning game on Labor Day. They didn't win either morning or afternoon, but President Brush, who is with the club on this trio, was as happy as a dyspeptic could possibly be. Within a few of 19,000 gave up their good coin to witness the games, and Brnsh put away over $2,300, more money than the Indianapolis club ever played to away from home. Hardle Richardson won the afternoon game by making the onlv run of the game a home run hit in the first inning. "We will lace Clarkson," was the Hoosler cry before they Btruck town. But tho lacing was Indefinitely postponed, and Clarkson mowed his men down as fast as they stepped up to the plate. Oh, for another CHrkson: then we would be the people and no And Tuesday's game with the Hoosiers hcII honestly.it gives me a pain in the chest to think of it. We had the blooming Hoosiers 7 to 2 up to the ninth inning, and then got beat. All through the game the Hoosiers kept up a cannonading, but marvelous fielding by our team kept the Hoosiers down to two runs on 11 base hits. In the ninth theymado five hits, and, aided by a dropped liner by Richardson, they piled up six runs; and a more disgusted crowd of spectators never left tbe Boston grounds. Now, I think it was rank judgment to put Madden in, for he has been sick fur some time. Young Dalv pitched his best game of the season against Indianapolis on the last trip West; and, as young Rusie was in tbe box for the Indians, it would have been the proper play to trv Daly, who has been posing as a looker-on irom rJersey If Daly got rattled they could put in Madden, for the little down East midget is not a good stayer for nine in nings. Joe Quinn is playing class A hall, so it looks as if Sprinter Brown will hold down the bench during the rest of the season. Spalding, the baseball Croesus, has been here for a few days. He was once the Clarkson of this town, having been the pitcher of the Bos ton team when tnev cleaned out all before them. Spalding's wife hails from Brockton, in this State, and he has been visiting there. Brouthcrs has been under the weather for some time, and his batting is not what it used to be. He still leads the country, but be must keep pegging away to hold tbe lead. "Buck" Ewing is not far behind, and just at present the redoubtable "Buck" Is "lining 'em out" with a vengeance Sid Farrar. of the Philadelphia club, made a very able jackass out of himself in the first Philadelphia game Sid would make a fine captain of a whaling vessel, his profanity being something awful when his Cuban blood is aroused from a somniferous debauch. Charles J. Foley. SURE OF THE PENNANT. Ken- Yorkers Think Their Club Will Beat tbe Bostons Oat. rSPECIAL COnnESrOIDENCE OF THE DISPATCH.! New York, September 8. There is joy in this town, and the croakers who have been croaking for ten days past bave got into their cages and thrown the key out of the window. As it looks now they will not come ont again this fall, for tbe New Yorks' chances, from an unbiased standpoint, are as good, if not a shade better, than thoso ot the Boston club. Grant ing the fact that tbe Bean Eaters have been put ting up a better field game and hitting the ball a little harder than tbe Giants, they are not doing so now. The Giants are putting up as fine a game as they have at any time since they ended the season last fall. The beginning of their fine work was in the Boston series, and tbey bave not let down u peg since tbe Bostons left here. To verify this ask any of thePitts bnrg players They played four grmes against the Giants this week, and played winning ball at that, but they could not make enough hits to pull out a victory. Hanlon has been sick for the greater part of the time while here, but when he left for Bos ton he felt somewhat better. Dunlap played in the last game in which his club took part in this city, and realiv improved tbe strength of the team All things considered, the Smoky City boys are badly crippled, and tbe outfield is made up mostly of pitchers and catchers. The strength of the New York team is in its pitchers, both Keefe and Welch are in fine condition, the former has been doing better work lately than t any time tbis season. Crane is also in good condition, while O'Day surprised the Pittsburgb in their last game here by sbutting tbem out witn six hits, only one of which helped to prevent a whitewash. If be can coctinue to do this the New Yorks are sure of the flag. Just where the New Yorks are the strongest the Bostons are the weakest. The Bean Eaters have four pitchers.the same as the New Yorks, but Madden and Daih are useless, while Rad bourne cannot be depended upon. Therefore their pitchers are reduced to one.and although Radbourne once won tbe championship alone, Clarkson cannot, for tbe latter is already show ing signs of weakening. J. H. M. Somewhat Disappointing. Mr. William Hillebrecht, of Ward street, Oakland, who flew nine young homing pigeons from Coshockton, 0.,dlstance 107 miles air-line, as stated in yesterday's Dispatch, did not come up to expectations, owing to very foggy weather in the morning. They were liberated at 8.30 A. M.; the first bird to arrive was at 1-47 p. M.; average speed was 553 yards per minute, very poor time, owing to the foggy weather. Mr. Hillebrecht will fly the birds from Newark, O., distance 130 miles air-line, next Sunday. He will also fly them from Springfield. O., dis tance 209 miles air-line, to try and defeat the 200-mile Federation record for young birds on September 22, weather permitting. A PROMINENT MAN AKRESTED. H. K.

Mr. Foster's story is that Mrs. Young was about to leave ior Cleveland last night, and he went down to the triin to get a ring of his she had. Thev had some trouble in re gard to the ring; but at last she gave it to him. He saw her with a colored man, and, not knowing he was her husband, was nat urally curious and watched them. An officer accosted him and soon after they were arrested. By the officers at Central the arrest was looked on in the light oi a comedy of errors, and it is not probable that serious results will follow. He Found Death on the Track.

Millions Invested in Race Courses in the Vicinity of New York. THE I0DN6 GIANT OP THE WEST, Chriatener of the Elegantly Equipped Mor ris Park at Westchester. INCREASING POPULARITY. OP RACING COBBESPONDETCB OP THE DISPATCH. New York, September 6. When that young giant of the West, El Kio Key, with the shoulder blades of a 3-year-old and the stride of an easy conqueror.proelaimed him self invincible, he really christened the new track in New York. The Morris Brothers have spent perhaps 5500,000 on it In some respects it is unique. Kegal in its equip ments, it opens its gates for free admission to the field as readily as ior the opulent patron of the turf who pays handsomely for a seat on the grand stand. The significance of this novelty is understood only when it is remembered that, while some of the tracks in the vicinity of New York anpeal more particularly to the wealthy, others' seem to have been established exclusively for the pleasure and possible profit of those in more moderate circumstances. There are invet erate lovers of racing who would no more dream of visiting one of half a dozen courses that could be mentioned than they would of finding an evening's entertain ment at a dime museum in preference to the Madison Square Theater. At the new track, to a degree visible nowhere else, extremes meet. The Morris Brothers have made an innovation. Every feature of the new en terprise, from programmes which cost noth ing to stakes fabulous in the aggregate, bears evidence of a lavish touch. Their L P. LobilIard. 2. August 4. Al. J. Cassatt. oi lays are indicative of what in many other qi irters is being spent nominally, so tnat U blood of horses shall not depreciate re lly that fat dividends shall be declared. TRACKS GETTING PLENTY. 'racks are springing up like mushrooms nil directions. For a year it looked as thiugh New Jersey would become the para dise of the thorouehbred. The Legislature ofthe Empire State frowned uponpool seljing, and racing without poolselling is as I insipid as poker played for nothing. New Jersev felt the effect at once. Clifton, really a branch of the Brighton Beach track, sprung into existence, and Gutten buTg came into being. Then the Legisla ture changed front, and the 30-day law was palsed. It allows 30 days' racing on any oni course, and legalizes poolselling for that fieiiod each vear. The compromise is it lie more than a compromise in name. Taj haye racing in any desirable locality all tbe season through it is necessary ou)y to have a sufficient number of tracks. El Rio Key. There is no scarcity of them now. The capi tal thevhave swallowed is somethiug prodig ious. To the superficial observer it is repre sented by land and buildings, and, strictly speaking, this may be the case; but no esti mate would go far enough which d'd not round out the subject by including horses and stables and the cost of maintaining them. A glance at the track proper, how ever, is first in order. Some wealthy Germans laid out the half mile track at Guttenbnrg at a cost of per haps $65,000. George Engeman owns the Clifton track, and spent about $75,000 on it. "W. H. Ecgeman built the Brighton Beach track. It is worth $150,000, though it cost nothing like that figure; the land having fallen into Mr. Engeman's hands at a time when the proverbial song was close to its market value, BELONGS TO THE DWYEBS. The new Dwyer track at Elizabeth, N. J., on which horses' hoofs will be planted for the first time in October, will by then have cost not much less than $250,000. It is practically owned by the Dwyer Brothers; some of their friends having a little stock in it. . . The Linden Blooded-Horse Association will open its new track, which is also at Elizabeth, N. J., some time in October. A son ot Attorney General Stockton, of that State, is largely concerned in it, and a jjood many influential New Jersey politicians will" profit by its success. Not less than $150,000 will have been expended when the starter's flag drops for the first tinje there. It looked as though there might be war to the knife between the Linden Association and the Dwyers, with tho choice of racing days as a casus belli; bnt hostilities have been happily averted and no conflict of dates is regarded as impending.

"Withers, Pierre Lorillard, A. J. Cassatt and the George Lorillard estate areopening plethoric pocketbooks, and while the old track is being used for training purposes, a new one close at hand will hold its own with all comers. New and old will account for the expendi ture of about $300,000. The Coney Island Jockey Club, with Its ideal course and unsurpassed location, and backed by such men as "William K. Vander bilt, John G. Eecksher and the Alexandre Brothers, has $150,000 at stake close to the seashore. The club has declared COLOSSAL DIVIDENDS, and is credited with having accumulated a reserve fund as large as its capital, so that if racing were declared illegal to-morrow the stockholders would receive back the amount invested, to sav nothing of the divi dends and the proceeds of the sale of the property. Perhaps the best investment is that made by the owners of the Brooklyn Jockey Club track. They include the Dwyer Brothers and such powerful politicians as James Shev lin, Alderman McCarty and John Delmar, all of Brooklyn. They purchased the old Parkville trotting course, and comparatively nominal expenditure prepared it tor present purposes. It is worth not less than $150, 000, and pays interest on an infinitely heavier figure. When Jerome Park is added to the list it becomes easily evident that not less than $2,000,000 are invested in race tracks within easy reachingdistance of the metropolis. No effort has been made to be exact about 'the figures, the object being to get simply at a general idea of what it costs to furnish facilities for the display of speed. A rough estimate ol the number of men who enter raoe horses on Eastern tracks places it at 50. It is not easy to strike a satisfactory average of the numerical strength of each stable in the matter of horses, but 15 would probably be not far out of the way. Taking $2,000 as the aver age worth of each horse, the aggregate value of the flyers becomes a plain problem in arithmetic A million and a half of dol lars is the result of the calculation. It would be scarcely interesting to go into the details necessary to show from how many different sources the pocket of the owner of a stable is drained after he has purchased his animals, but they would swell the three Belmont. 3. J. E. HAOGiir. 5. Senator Hearst. and half millions to five, and probably. leave A TEEY HANDSOME MARGIN above it. The prodigal outlays made by men who own such stables as those to which Lorillard, Belmont, Hearst, Haggin, Win ter aud others devote their leisure time, would undoubtedly yield an aggregate bringing the whole sum up into the region of the millions. Not many Western horses are run on Eastern tracks, and the reasons are mani fest. It pays to bring on only the cream. The expense of transporting and finding stabling accommodations here is justified only where the horse has proved its ability to run in the best of company. Mr. Winter made no mistake when he changed tbe base of El Bio Eey's operations, but his balance would soon be on the debit side of ibe ledger if he turned to the West the tails of those of his horses credited only with common place performances. The royal blood of Tne River King will circnlate to a fine financial tune in the Ea3t. It may be a lit tle premature to come to conclusions con cerning him, but the general impression is that nothing that is possible for a 2-year-old is out of his reach. It is gratuitous, in the face of what has already been stated, to say that the popular ity of racing goes on increasing in an accel erating ratio. Two or three other tracks are talked of, and when they materialize they are certain to be followed by talk of two or three more. None of them complain of poverty of attendance. At most of them tbe bookmakers flourish, and the betting reaches proportions which make observers wonder where the money comes from. The drift of overwhelming testimony is that sooner or later the man who bets will have nothing to bet with; but that doesn't lessen the betting. The old Spanish proverb, "When the pitcher goes to the well, woe unto the pitcher; when the well goes to the pitcher, woe unto the pitcher; whatever be falls, woe unto the pitcher," has been modi fied so that it concludes, "whatever befalls, woe unto the better," but he flourishes his money in the bookmaker's face with more pertinacity than ever.
