Louisville, Ky., May it The Louis- ville Jockey Club racei began here to-day , and theofljcinli were as fallows: Timers Jforvin Green, ot JTew York, John Funk, O. Barnes; Judges Colonel Lewis Clark, s Colonel Henry Wheeler, of Chicago, Gen- f eral James F. Robinson, Lexington; , Starter J. B, Ferguson, t The features of the opening day were the great crowd, some very lively though not particularly heavy betting, and the mud. ' And then the Kentucky Derby was run in i the slowest time on record. The nearest ' approach to it was in 1883, when Leocatus galloped away from Drake Carter and the rest in 2:43. It rained all last night, set- ting in at 1 o'clock this morning for a steady pour down, which lasted till 10 o'clock this morning. Then the clouds began to break away and there were oc casional glimpses of the sun. inE TRACK WAS MCDDY. At 2 o'clock the heavens were clear and the Derby track at Churchill Downs lay a bright yellow ribbon glistening in the sun shine. Throngs of people bad been crowd ing the street cars, and scores of carriages and vehicles of every description blocked the way for. hours. When the bell'called for the first race the stand, area in front and the betting stands and the field free on ' Derby day were filled as never before. Fully 20,000 people were present. There were more strangers tban for xnanv Tears. ' Cincinnati and Lexington contingents came in this morning, looking much bedraggled by the rain, but were dried off and In high leather at the track. ' While the bets placed by individuals were not heavy, except in a lew instances, the ag gregate of money that changed hands was very great The poolroom at the Louisville Hotel was packed full this morning, and though there were 25 bookmakers at the track and auction pools, the jam was so great that many were unable to place their money. Whenever good odds went up there would be a crush in their direction, and only the strongest and most courageous could push their way through and secure the advantage. There was not much plung ing owing to the uncertainty of the prin cipal event, but a steady stream the whole afternoon. THE INITIAL EVENT. The track was slush at the opening. The slightest canter scattered a slop for several feet on either side, and with every great bound in the running mud and water were dashed yards away in every direction. At the racing progressed the mud dried a little and became more sticky. The initial event was a five-turlong dash for 2-year-olds for a purse of MOO. Starters: Liberty Bell, General Caldwell, Nettie Beatrice. Hindoo Lass, Sanlord, Jay Jay Cee, Laura Agnes, Grand Pa and Val paraiso. In the betting Sanford and Jay Jay Cee were 3 tol, General Caldwell, Beatrice and Laura Agnes 4 to 1 each and the rest IS to SO tol. Grand Pa won by two open lengths', Lib erty Bell second, General Caldwell third, Laura Agnes fourth, Nettie Beatrice filth and the others close together Time. 1:07.,' Liberty Hell got off first, with Grand Pa ut hli haunches and Caldwell next. At tho head or the stretch Valparaiso was leading. half a length in front of Liberty Boll and Grand Vb. third Coming down "the stretch Grand Pa went to the front and Caldwell moved up second and tried to win. The second race was a f 400 purse, one mile, for all ages, seven starters, with weights, jockeys and betting, a follows: Glookncr, 4 to C. 122 pounds (Brltton); Quarterdeck, 15 to 1, 112 (Pox); Warpeak, 20 in 1,108 (Smith); Blue Maid, 20 to 1, 101 (Brooks); Uncle Bob, 3 to 2, 100 (Hill); Ell, 1 to 1, 100 (Allen), and Queen Vic toria, 20 to 1,107 (Boddy). Uncle Bob won. They got off with Uncle Bob and Quarterdeck together, Warpeak third. At the quarter. Quarterdeck, two lengths ahead of Glockoer, Warpeak third. In the stretch Uncle Bob moved up, and he nnd Glockoer began to leave the others strung out. Undo Bob got his head in front of Glorkner, but a they roundod tho head ot the stretch It was still nip and tuck. j Down the stretch Uncle Bob held his own B nilly mnl won by a length, Warpeak third. kg. Time, 1:40. JO' THE KENTUCKY DEMIT. jfc Then the Derby ond Jtlley won It, because he was a long way the best horse started, T' None of the .other five could touch him on n tout muddy track, und it is doubtiul if Bill Letcher, who alone proved to be in the same class, could have pushed the great sotfof Longfellow even over a dry trick. All 4 talk about Ililey being out of condition was K, nonsense. He was never more fit. Clean of limb, sound and strong, there was no' sign of cough or other indisposition. His eye was clear and bright, and he looked the "; winner. Then there was Isaac Murphy's ft. riding. The occasion required a jockey TfL who could keep his horse in hand and pre- j, vent his killing himself by running away. L Murphy did this admirably. He had his C hone under complete control throughout; I' held him back to let the others set the pace f through the mud, kept the way open before Mm to take advantage of every favor the dreadful track offered, and ready at the , right moment to make the running and win j tbe race. At the sharp turns beyond the I stand and near the five-eighths Murphy rode S- his horse on tbe inside track, saving two or if three long jumps at eaeh place, and at tbe n right moment cante out on the high center W of the track where tbe going was lightest. Then at the three-quarters, coming home, lie let him out and came under the wire fresh and strong, an easy winner. In contrast with this was Robespierre's management bv little Francis. For some reason just at'the . . ..... VII .1.. ....I ..1 iik uiuuicut a-iacj, iuc trainer, ai ia&ca off, and Francis substituted. The little jockey was unable to control his hone, and it was fight throughout in which Robe spierre would be sawed down and held back for a few leaps only to take the bit and run in the front at a pace that was killing to him. now it was won-. There were six starters, as expected. Riley with Corrigan's green and white gltaming fresh and clean was the first to show on the track with Mnrphy up and was received with tremendous cheering, meant as much ior the rider as for the hone. Then came Prince Fonso with Overton In the saddle, in orange and black, followed in order by Pal isade with Britton in tbe Melbourne stable colors, blue hoops with white cap. Bill Letcher, with Allen up, Robespierre ridden by Francis, and Outlook, ridden by Breck inridge. Letcher and Bobespierre were greeted with rounds of applause. At the start. In the betting, Bobespierre was a hot favorite on even .terras, Biley suddenly dropped to 4 to 1, and Ifetchcr was at the same figure. They cantered leisurely around tothe half mile post opposite the stand, as the chute . has been closed, and were offat the first tap of the drum, with Letcher in the v lead, Palisade second. Outlook third, the others bnnched. In the stretch Bobespierre led by half a length. Outlook second, Fonso third, the rest close up. At thequarter Robespierre still led, Outlook second, Palisade third. the others scattered in thd rear. At the half Biley was first, but kept the lead only a twinkling, Letcher third. Bobespierre ran out, making the race to the three-quarters, when Biley began his race and the rest began whipping. At once Biley went to the front a length, Bill Letcher coming to second, and leaving Bobespierre third, the rest.straggling one, two and three lengthi behind, Outlook last LETCHER'S BIO EFFOBT. In the stretch Biley was two, lengths in front of Letcher and coming easily, and Bobespierre third. Xetcher then began to come under a heavy whip and for a moment it looked like his race, but Murphy loosened his reins and Biley responded nobly coming under the wire handilva winner by a length and three-quarters, Bobespierre a length behind Letcher, Palisade back two lengths more, and Fonso nearly neck and neck with him and Outlook ten lengths In tbe rear.

Danlnp Will be Released To-Doy Hecker ! Clad of It Other Probable Cbnnsen Manager Ilnnlon Talks About Ilia Big Slugger. Rain prevented the game yesterday between tbe local National Leigne club and tbe Cincin nati team. Director O'Neil bad the brass band on parade advertising tbe game, but tbe rain continued ana the contest could not take place. Tbe old League officials were busy, however, paying the players and making arrangements to release some ot them. As a result ircd Dunlap will be released to-day, and last even ing Manager Hecker said be was very glad, in deed, that Dunlap was out ot the team. "Dun lanC" said the genial Hecker, 'is certainly tbe worst man to get along with .that I.cTer met He has had everybody in hot water during our entire Western trip." The officials of the club have been made aware of Dunlan's methods of' disorganization, and in addition to that they are convinced that be is an inferior player to Yonngnian as a second baseman. They have, therefore, de cided to release him to-day at noon. Tbe truth ' is. however, that tbcv decided on his release last week, so that all talk about his wanting bis release is mere nonsense. Director O'Nell stated yesterday that be was sorry Dunlap bad ever been engaged by tbe club. He signed for 83,500 and Youngman signed for 1,050. That, It Is claimed, is quite a difference, combined with tbe fact tbat Youngman so far this season has played tbe better ball at second base. It Is likely that Daniels and Qray will also be re leased shortly. They and Dunlap did not go with the toim to New York last night In paying tbe players It was found that every one of them except Sundav, Hecker and Dun lap bad overdrawn their salaries. The amounts overdrawn In tho aggrogate amounted to nearly 80,000. This absolutely kills all the stories circulated to tho effect that the club was not able to paytba salaries. Notwith standing the fact that almost all of thoin had ovcrdiatrn they ucro all given money. One plajor who had overdrawn his salary to the ex tent of about 81.300 demanded $200 more ctor- dav. lie was given 81U0 and was exceedingly indignant in consequence. Tills Is Interesting when it Is considered that when away the players have all their traveling and boarding expenses paid. Director O'Nell had plenty of money, as ho displayed a roll ot 83,000 after paOng the team. Dunlap will bo paid about SJoO to-aay, and then he will bo Ireo to go whero bo chooses. According to the staio mentof Manager Hecker and other memoeis of the team, be has acted very ungratefully to the club. He claims that too much was ex pected from him, but bit record shows tbat he lias dune very, very little. Manager Heckcrtook 18 men Kast last oven Inc. Illnea will Join the team In New York, and Mil play first base until Heoker Is ablo to resume work. When Hecker Is able to play lllnos orltiiatwlll probably go Into the out Held, and Hemp may be released, as he has been playing very poorly. Mr. Heoker thinks Host Is a good man. He also thinks that the team will be one of the best. Ho will pitch a fow games dnrlng the trip. Manager Loftusand his Cincinnati tosin alto arrfved In the city yesterday morning, and left for tho Kist last evening. Mr. Loftus thinks that the I'ltisburgN. 1 team Is one of tho tnnst promising In the country. The local Players' Loague team alto camu home yosterday morning, and left last evening fur l'lilladcliihla. Manager Hanlim hadn't much to say, oxespt remarking tbat the team had been In very hard luck while away. Ho Minko highly ot tho playing of Carrot! and Visner. During tho trip Corcoran had been troubled with "cliarloy horse," and as there was nebodvto put In hit place ho bad to play. lie therefore made mlttaxrs that meant dofrat lie Is all right now, and Manager Hanlon UltlMt evening brimful of hope. It Is likely that while away the boys will give a good account of themselves. The managor says that tbe I'lsy. era' league will not change the dates, and that the bad weatberlt preventing tho poople from attending the games. Morrlt and Hurley woro left behlud. HE WANTS PATHS.

Ucliuieltz will have to bid high for Payne, as tho management ot the Youngstowns realize tnat he It a fine player and one that can be re lied upon, Hportlng Notes. ' The Kentucky Derby It fast losing its pres tige. There It a letter In this office for Peter Priddy. Tub Pittsburg Natatorium will be formally opened to-day. Joe McAtjlifte wants to fight Blavln at tbe London Pelican UIuu. Harry Hiix, the famous New York sport ing man, is now "dead broke." Yesterdays Derby was tbe slowest on record, but the track was Very heavy. Joe Penderoast Is autbority'for the state ment that Pete McCoy la willing to fight any man in the world at 117 pounds, London prize ring rules, for any amount from (1,000 to lo, 000, giving preference to tbe man who first covers tbe money on deposit at Billy Bennett's. Sixth avenue andThlrty-fiftb street New York City. There is a rumor that Bailor Brown Is a 'little off," and Jack MoAullffe is backing him, but McCoy makes no distinction, as bis money Is acceptable: also lfjobnny Reagan wishes an opportunity to redeem himself, IX he deems it fit, he will be accommodated. TflE'BIGRACE T0:DA Interesting Sews About the Brook- jjru uuuuibtiij. . SIR DIXON IS A GRE1T FAVORITE. Los Angeles Dangerous If the Track Be comes Muddy. TUB STARTERS FOR THEGREAT.ETENT rsrrrtAi. TztsoBait to rnt dispatcim New York, May 14. The spring meet ing ot the Brooklyn Jockey Club will begin to-morrow at Gravesend with tbe Brooklyn Jockey Club Handicap at amile and a quar ter worth $10,000 or more to the winner and the Expectation stakes with $1,600 added for 2-year-olds at half a mile as tbe features, thus inaugurating the racing season in this State. Tbe interest in tbe handicap is widespread, commissions from all parts of tbe country having been received on the various candidates during tbe past three months, and should the day dawn pleasant and clear, fully 1, COO will be at the Graves end track this afternoon to see the big race decided. THE TIEACIC IS GOOD. Tho track was in superb condition to-day and should no more rain bo had than fell before midnight there will still be a chance for fair time. The Indications are that the big race will be a struggle from start to fin ish, and in tuch an event class is bound to tell. For this reason Sir Dixon may win, as he was a grand hone at 2 and 3 years old, and, in bis preparation for this race, he has done everything hit trainer has asked from him. He was not raced as a 4-year-old, enjoying a long run out because of sus picious legs tbat did not look as though they would stand any great amount of wear and tear. Fit and well Sir Dixon is a higher class of race hone than anything he will meet to-morrow, and if the track is not heavy and deep in mud he should win, with Fides second and Badge and Lot Angeles very close up. Should it rain hard, bow ever, and the course becomes a sea of mud, Los Angeles, a superlative performer in tiff going, is the selection, with Sir Dixon second and Castaway II., thud. THE EXPECTATION STAKES will bring out a lot of crack-a-jacks if all rep rta are to be believed. Saflie McClel land may win, with Mr; Withers' Abun dance colt second, but betting on such nn event is generally a lottery, pure an,d simple. The fleetest lot of sprinters this country can boast of are named 'to start in the opening event Geraldine may win, with Blue Rock ana xipstan lighting tor the place, but Be clare, Gregory and others will take a lot of beating. Eon may win tbe second race, with Madstone second. Necromancy colt and Jack of Diamonds may do for tbe fifth, and Quesal and Sparling should go well in the sixtb. The lollowing are weights and entries: Tbe Brooklyn Jockey Club Handicap for 3-year-olds and upward, the value of which is guaranteed to be $10,000, the second horse to receive $2,000 "and third $1,000, one mile and a quarter Baceland 124, Los Angeles 116, Badge 114, Diablo 110, Oriflamrae 109, Major Domo 107, Sorrento 104, Castawav the Second 110, Vengeur 100, Floodtide 100, Sir Dixon 113, Come-to-Taw 116.

John Crouch, a wealthy farmer aged 75 years, his wife, aged 70 years, and bis son Andrew, aged 35 years, were found by neighbors at an early hour this morning in their beds with their throats out from ear to ear, Andrew's head had been mashed with a club. The bodies were cold and had evi dently been murdered some hours. The house was standing open and the attention of one of the neighbors had beon attracted. The bed clothing, furniture and walls were stained nnd bespattered with blood. Tbe scene was horrible and the news spread rap idly about tbe villago and to Hilltboro and Beallsvlllo. The murdered persons were tbe wealthiest in that part of the county, and the theory is that the murder was com mitted to get tbe niouey whiob was pretty generally supposed Crouch kept about his bouse. . The family was greatly respected, and the news, which' spread so rapidly, created the wildest excitement. Searching parties were started out In all directions, but no clue could be found of the perpetrators of the borrible crime.

Tbe labors of the committee to investigate the Presbyterian Church trouble came to a rather sudden termination tbis evening and the members have departed for their homes. At the conference this forenoon numerous propo sitions were offered for a settlement of the trouble, but the antagonism of several of the elders to the pastor was so violent that no amicable solution could be reached. The public was 'excluded from the afternoon meeting and the committee refuse to make a statement of their work. It is knotfn, how ever, that no testimony was taken as bad been announced yesterday. Papers bearing upon tbe case were submitted by both sides, and these, together with a recommendation from the committee, will be presented to the presbytery. " Although the congregation by a large majority will stand by Rev. Dr. Beale, the impression has gained that the pressure of those in uuthority is so great that a dissolu tion of tbe pastoral relations is now the' ouly solution of the trouble. This will also imply tbe resignation ot tbe elders opposed to Dr. Bealo and the eleotion of new of ficials as well. Many of the congregation were affected to tears when they realized the probability that they would lose their pastor, in whom they seem to have' much confidence. USED THE POTATO MASHES.

Unjust and Unreasonable In Regard to tho Erring. "An iceberg is a very- brilliant and mag nificent object," says Dr. Talmage in the New YorE World,"but I have observed that tbe cbief aim of a sea, captain is to keep as far awiy from it as possible. Tbe world wants warmth and light and help, not a glare of polarized light. One of the grand est words in the English language is 'sym pathy," but a mightier word still is 'mercy,' and if I were compelled to reduce the Bible to one word, it would be 'mercy.' That is true religion. "The world's idea is, if a man goes wrong, 'Out with himl Banish him from all de cent society! Help him roll down hill! Give him a kick! Awav with himl' If a woman goes wrong, there is no mercy for her. If she repents in sackcloth and ashes, still no mercy for her. She is an out cast forever, whose presence is contamina tion. Abandon her to perdition. If she tries to swim ashore, stone 'her off. If she tries to rise, push her down. It she gets the tips nf her fingers on the rock, bring your boot-heels to bcarand crush herfingers. Tbat is conventional society's way, but it is not true religion's way. It is not God's way. It is not the way of mercy. No. Society is cruel and unjust and unreasonable in that. It piles a mountain of condemnation on the woman and barely sprinkles dust on the man."
