The Atlantic District OF the Board OF Appeals OF the

yesterday at the New York Hotel First Vice Presi-
dent {. W. Hutchinson presided, and the full Board
were heard
Brooklyn Driving Park N. Williams Son, propris-
tors parkville, Long Island, and oshers.-caim and
puislon Of the dun mare Maggie s., alias Rachel. on
the ground that her entry n tho 240 AS classes
o. the . o'scoss ,susalen, meeting . Inc Srookn
persons implicated In the entry may be punished
as they deserve. From the evidence submitted In
really that may astonish turfmen generally Mr..
Wepzo had horse the race which was won by
first money. II seems that tho proprlstors OF the
Brooklyn Park believed that Rachel was
Ineligible, and expelled both Mn her and the driver
statements Mr.. Wenzcll submitted afidavits
and letters from persons claiming to know
the mare Maggie s., all Of which tended show that
the latter and Rachel were and the Portion
OF the evidence was letter from stephen Hayes OF
Boston, old driver and trainer who described Mag
gie 5. accurately, such description ntting Rachel
exactly. That there was fraud intended Mr. Wcnzcll
feels assured On the part OF Mcssrs Williams Son
the entry Of Rachel made by telegraph submitted
but OF the CHARGE further than hcarsay these gcntcmn
knew nothing. Further inquiry by the Board caused
10 be brought before them DeCamp, the driver OF
Rachel at the Brooklyn Park This person sworc that
Rachel was not Maggie ). that tho former had been
at his stable since the LIST OF June last, but he had
known the tor two years, ever since James Lam
BERT of Wcstheld N. j.. had owned her. DeCamp also
explained from whom Lambert had purchased Rachel
She in his (DcCamps) stable, and
had never been in Boston, where II IS al
legged Maggie S. originally belonged DeCamp said that
he had Maggie s., and upon being asked II he
knew where she now was, advised that sho was in
Newark and owned by one +. DcCamp. He also said
much alike, each having scar on her quarter though
on OF the mares tho mark on tho nigh
side and tho other on the on side. The wit
ness DeCamp Of tho opinion that no could
show both mares at and proposed to do so which
offer being accepted, the Board appointed a commit
tee to visit Newark 70 mako tho inspection desired
Messrs. Alden Goldsmith, Charles Dickerman and j.
WenZell These gentlemen made the visit required
and during the carly evening returned when they
made their report This IN substance was that
tho mares were seen, ana they found both
the in color, but in all other particu-
lars, excepting the scars, vastly different Maggie s.
is cleany cut well bred animal with all the evidence
OF being asuperior trotter while Rachel many years
older and much resembles truck or working horse
nothing about her indicating she has least pre-
tension to any claim o. speed No horscfnap could
make the mistake OF supposlns they were one and the
the committee to New York was E. DcCamp. the
roputcd owner of Maggie 5. II had been sworn
that he did not know Maggie s. was IN
Newark until alter he had returned from Boston,
which place was visited by him after the race at the
Brooklyn PARK for the purpose OF obtaining certain
aGidavits from parties bearing upon these animals
Last evening it was adduced in evidence that James
DcCamp is q half-brOther OF E DeCamp, which faoS
uniavorably commented upon in view OF
the earlier testimony. During the subse-
dicory evidence Mr. Dickerman was certain that
the Maggie s. at Newark was seen by him coming from
in dispute, and Mr. Wenze would stake his repua.or
Judge OF horseaesh that tho Rachel that otted
against him in the race and Maggie s. were the
same. 1t also proven by indsputable testimony
that persons on the track where the occurred
had knowledge OF Maggie s. being a ringer"
large sums OF money by buying pools. The whole
has DARK o0k and therc seems a chance OF
clearing away the clouds that surround It, Mr.. Won
Zell deserves and Will doubtless receive the thanks of
the rotting world rather the honest portion Of IT,
for calling the attention OF the Board to this matter
