John Brown pleaded guilty to an attempt to CON-
init larceny In the dwelling house of Jacob Kridel
4l9 West Forty-third street. On the night OF the
Goth OF August Mr. Kridel found the prisoner con-
cealed in the bathroom. Mr. Price, who defended
Brown, said that last month Judge Bedford d.
rected the physician attached to the Tombs to ex-
anime the prisoner His Honor having been In
formed that he was insane. DR.. Neas replied to
the District Attorneys request by saying that
while Brown was not insane In the strict sense OF
the term, yet he was subject to delirium which
rendered him at times irresponsible The Re-
corder observed that the letter OF the physician
was not sufficiently satisfactory evidence to
warrant the Court In assuming that Brown was
insane, and instanccd the fact OF man being tried
before him during the Summer, whom the jury
acquitted ON the ground OF insanity, who was
going round the city stealing.

The deciding heat in the 2:37 purse ut Hall,s

was trotted yesterday, resulting in the victory Of
Barney Stanford's chestnut gelding George over
T. L. Doty's black stallion Rowe's Tommy formerly
Thomas Jefferson, Jr.). 1t viii be remembered
that darkness prevented its being finished on the
day named and as each horse had won two heats
the judges very properly postponed it. For such
an event the money in the pool box amounted to a
large sum, and during the progress OF the race on
Wednesday the betting nuctuated greatly.
The track yesterday because OF the rain, was
very heavy and sticky. About one hundred per-
sons were in attendance, mostly those who had
large sums invested. Precisely at one O'Clock the
bell called the horses to the track and without
delay they were given the word Doty, the driver
OF Tommy, did all in his power to make the colt
win, but George had too much foot and passed un-

crowdiug upon them and forcing them
away from the polls. A few bouts OF
isticuffs occurred in the dense mass,
aud then a discharge Of brickbats came
from the negroes, followed by an order
from their leader, JEFF Long, to FIRE
