tN.Y. WORLDLY
The whole Vest seems to be in a
state of com mOtion as to the merits
Of the recelt race between Ten
Brock and Nollie Mccarthy. Ben
Rruce. Of the Lexington Live Stock
Heco,I says4in an interview that
Ten Brock Vas drugged with NOR
mime. and that it was done in the in.
terest of Eastern spectators. Az
far as New York and Long Branch
are colncerned, there was not $1,000
in the pool box. Spectators have
looked upsn the affair Gas the
World did Yin the light Of a gigantic

these stories are true how could the

might also be asked: How came the
mare to be so badly out Of condition
