Chorister led alternately until they got within five
furlongs from home; but in coming into the
Barmston at the same time drew forward, the lat
ter coming round wide on the right. When fairly
IN the line for the winning post, Mozart dashed to
the 'front.', but Indian ocean gradually drew for
ward, and ultimately won good race by neck,
Barmston finishing length behind the second,

one OF the most exciting episodes OF the season
was the
POLICE RAID ON BETTING MEN,
which took place yesterday, just week after the
new Lord Mayor, Sir Sidney Waterfowl. entered
upon ONCE. He was q new broom, and he deter
mined to sweep clean. There was plenty to sweep,
and he had not to go lar to find IT, Colonel Fraser,
the City Commissioner Of Police, has always shown
his jurisdiction, while Colonel Henderson, who
rules west OF Temple Bar. has been extremely ac-
tive, and has put down all forms or gambling ex.
cept such as take place in clubs. Tattersalls and
the Victoria Club are within his boundaries but he
has not dared to interfere with those Their con-
stituti0n is perfectly legal, and the betting which
takes place within them is not for ready money,
and is consequently not contemplated by the Bet
ting act Under the mild sway OF Colonel Fraser
number OF s0-caed clubs have sprung up in the
city where ready money betting is actually carried
on, and where, for patry admission fee,
the money paid down at the time the bet
is made. or this sort Of gambling an
enormous quantity goes on and there is more in
certain pubic houses which have long been known
as haunts OF betting men. The police came down
on three Of these yesterday and brought their pro-
prietOrs before the Lord Mayor. Two Of them were
fined to-day f100 each and one ESQ., The great
raids were, however, on the Alliance Club, in
Whitefriars street, or Fleet street, and the Ex-
change Club, in Water lane, on Blackriars Bridge.
These places were nothing but rough sheds, and
their pretensi0ns to be considered clubs were cx-
tremely doubtful, but an enormous amount Of busi-
ness was done in them. A strong force OF police
blockaded each and captured all the members.
Such as were merely hackers of horses were
allowed TO escape, but the regular bookmakers
were all taken. They were brought before the
Lord Mayor to-day and were remanded but there
ts no doubt that all will be heavily fined and some,
perhaps, imprisoned.
