bound for to go and the races" the Limerick
poet has Il;
The Fourth OF July had sent down from New York
such an immense swarm OF transient visitors that 1t
was found impossible to accommodate them pro-
perry ON the trains gong and coming. as no prepa-
Tauons ;;aa been made in anticipation of the great
crowd who came avn like AssyrIans upon the fold.
Mr. John Cham berlin, the proprietor Of the Mon
mouth Race Track, and 10 whom all due credit
should be given for the large sums OF money
which he has expended on the grounds and
buildings, had worked himself almost into
state OF drttc,uo ntoftts TO make every
feel comfortable, ana on yesterday
ali his arrangements were perfected, the railroad
trains were clean. and not too crowded; they even
ran on time, and the steamboats, did delay the
trains for the purpose OF filling their supper tables.
To be brief, everything connected with the race
course and its surroundings and connections went
smoothly.
Four detectives of Chief James Irvings force
namely. oficers Kelso, Dusenberry, Eustace and
Dunn-were on hand 10 preserve order and TO watch
for thieves, pickpockets and improper persons Of
the gentler at the gates. When they showed
their faces they told TO walk back on the rail-
road and go home to New YORK as soon as was con-
venient Tor them 10 DO
Early in the day four distinguished looking but
hard featured gentlemen whose names are known
10 the police calendar and the Rogues' Gallery as
''Sheeney Mike" Whitley Bob" "BIg Yanx" and
"Dougherty," made their appearance at the east
gate OF the race grounds and made frantic at
Tempt to get in by purchasing tickets.
To these gentlemen the four detectives spoke as
follows
EusTACE-Get out OF here. What do you want
here Ye know ye have no business In this
place.

"Whitey Bob- aud "sheeney Nike" walked in a
suen fashion, cursng their stars that there was no
chance to get at super twaich) or ''pul GEN.
tury" out OF gentleman's pockctbook. As they
both skulked down the sandy railroad track, among
the furze bushes the blonde hair and crop ears OF
"whitey Bob" assumed disgusting and repulsve
proportions.
These two distinguished thieves had not been
gone more than a few minutes when Detective Kelso
was heard TO say
''By George. here's more of them. Why, here :
Big Yank' and 'Dougnerty.' and there comes that
gal frankie Hoey right up behind them.n
