RACING AT JEROME PARK.
OPENING OF THE FALL MEETING.

The American Jockey Club opened Its fall meet
ing at Jerome Park yesterday under what usually
would shave been favorable circumstances
The attendance was large. the entries were
good, andthe track was In fair condition. Betting
was prohibited, however, and the races
lost something Of their interest. The ma
jority of the people that attended the
races expected that bOokmaking would be
carried on as usual, but they were doomed to be
disappointed, as public speculation Of every kind
was suspended. Three men, who wero said to be
agents for the bool1uakers, made a few wagers but
they were pounced upon by the police before they
had done much business. One Of them was Henry
Telmah, who was taken in custody by Detective
Dakin. When arraigned in the Harlem Police
Court he said that he had simply been entering
memorandum in an old telegraph book Detective
Rogers arrested James Jackson. of No. 2O3 East
Fiftieth-st. He also was only making memoran-
dun in his book in which he kept accounts. Both
men were held by Justice Gardner in 5000 bail
each for examination. Officer Hogan arrested
Charles Revere. of Jersey City. but the
evidence being insufficient he discharged.
Inspector Byrnes, accompanied by several
detectives, was present at the races. Detective
Philip Reilly ana twenty officers were there also
in behalf of District-AttOmey McKeon TO watch for
cases Of boolImaking 1t the intention if evil
dence had been found sufficient to warrant such
course to lay i before the Grand Jury next month.

junction would be served on the police. forbdding
their interference with the bookmakers. No such
injunction, however, was served
There were about 5 900 people present, many of
