TRial Of the AttRehment suit To-day,
WhaGO'HanIOn Has to Say.
This afternoon at O'Clock Squire Philips
will hear the attachment suit Of Knoke,
Hanke and Others Of the Leasure club, against
August Miller, for the recovery Of the $3.50
placed by them In NIiller's hands as their
part Of the $500 purse that was rOwed for by
Knoke and o'Hanlon last Saturday. The
particulars OF that affair are already we'll
known to newspaper readers, who remember
perfectly well Knoke's claim oil foul, followed
by o. Hanlon's, the big rumpus about bets and
pools, the referees decision, knoke's refusal
to abide by It, 0'Hanlon's going over the
course alone on Monday and the final award
to him Of the purse by Louis Felsing the
referee, Before that award, however, the at
tachment had been sworn out and o Hlnlon
went 10 Pittsburgh with only his own $3.50, Is
he did not want to cause trouble, or incon-
venience Mr., Miller by claiming the entire
amount.
1t was a matter of street talk that Hanke
had written to Frank Queen, OF the New
York Clipper, in relation to the race and also
the pool room bets. That paper this week
in It's answers to correspondents contains the
following

anCe OF pool room bets. Those who sell
them assume to regulate them, and all over
the country they seem to be regulated here
and there according 10 the pool sellers own
sweet will. We cannot tell you how pool
room bets gW go in that emergency, but We
do not mind tellingyOu how they IhOuld go.
They ought to be paid to the hackers Of the
man whom the referee declares entitled to
the stakes
The decision Of this high sporting
would seem to decide the matter in o Han
lan's favor. At IIelmbrights rooms the
money was paid the o. llanlan men, but Pitts
burgh men still have considerable money
up elsewhere that has not been paid over ia
them, and they point with pleasure to the
decision, which Is supposed to be an answer
to HankG'S letter.
