| doubt il there was a dollar of stake
money up on the race, and | think that
$4,000 bet was a Pigment of the brain of
some clever California liar, and there
are many such, for the glorious climate
of California ia especially nourishing to
the race OF Ananias The Louisville
Jockey Club was nicely taken in and
done for by Connolly and Budd Doble,
par Mobile fratrum, a pair of skins who
would whip-saw the devil out of his do
minion if they could but find q market
for its sulphur. II was the odoriferous
faint of their regulations that first
caused the match to be viewed with dis.
trust, and but for the fact that the Lou
isville Jockey Club assured the world
that the race would be run under its
auspices and control, / doubt it would
have attracted a thousand people to wit
ness. Connolly gave old Frank Harper
$2500 to run Ten Brock against Mollie
Mccarthy for an additional $4,000 not to
take him to St. Louis at the spring meet
ing there, and that ia why the papers of
the Future City are 80 severe or the
racs. Mr.. Connolly then rented the
J BONNEVILLE course for the 4th Of July,
paying 5000 for its use and for the pool
Sc ling privileges of the club. 1t is now
. pretty definitely known that it was the
+ intention of certain parties to have
turned the whole thing into a gambling
speculation, and to have throwR the race
whichever way the most money could
have been made by SO doing The
officers OF the club got wind Of the affair,
{. and did all they could to Illustrate it;
and they we're successful in their efforts.

Carthy was sold to Bud Doble; price
unknown. He took her TO Ksnkskee,

very much. One of her forslegs is very

It sires to run her against any horse or

John W. C)uley, who managed the
race and leased the track, was arrested
this afternoon on a bail writ sworn out
J. by counsellors of one Thompson, Of
II Pennsylvania, who holds a judgment
against Conley for $3.50 on an old deb
growing out OF the l%atter's failure on
8, Wall street. CJnley claims the judg
Of ment to be erroneous, and says he will
n. not be gouged. A sheriff is now will
him.
Conley is sorely disappointed over thu
q failure on the 4th, and in his own Ian
IN euage, had the race proved a suecass hi

it was not, fraud is cried; he must re
ceive a. the principal agent the dir
