The Grounds for SuspectinG Forester
of the Nathan Murder.

A New York dispatch says that al
though public belief in the implication o!
Billy Forester in the Nathan tragedy has
never been strong, yet among detectives
and reporters many are found to assert
that he is the assassin. So far as the case
against him has been made public, it en-.
braces the following assertions: The ship
carpenters iron dog" with which Mr..
Nathan was so brutalIy murdered, or one
very similar to it, was traced to Forres.

denCe Of Mr.. SChenck on Fifth avenue,
was entered and robbed by burglars.
Among the articles carried Oft was IL

SchenCk upon being shown the "d0g'
found in the house OF Mr.. Nathan, it is al.

had been stolen from their house. This
was an important point gained, and it was
subsequently asCcrtained almost TO Ger.
tainty that Forester and Ellis were both
engaged in the burglary at MIR. SChcnCk' s
house. This would naturally connect For.

legged that the police authorities have had
positive information that a few nights be.

was given room on the Twenty. third

Nathan mansion. 1t is asserted that For.

evidence in the hands OF the police il

FIRST DAY.
The attendance at the Fair yesterday
was said to be larger than the first day
OF any previous Fair IN Belmont county.
Perhaps 1909 people would not be far out
of the way, but some estimate as high as
1900. The grand cntrce was not so grand

said. There were six entries and they

one however, was not us easily cleared,
one horse jumping it but two in at.
attempting to follow suit fell and threw
their riders, one Of them quite heavily
but neither was injured as they both
soon mounted and were again in the race.
At the close Of the race the Judges were
in IL muddle, and indeed well they might
be, and could not decide; so they called
on the two horses, one OF which they
considered entitled to the prize, and made
them run it over again, after which David
Darragh's horse was declared the winner.
