During An Altercatfon One Stabs
 Another And Is Shot In Return.
 NEW YORK, May 14.-Larry O'Brien, a we'll known politician and gambler, during an altercation this evening on the corner of Twenty-seventh street and Broadway was stabbed by gambler named George Truman of 135 West Twentieth street. From what could be learned of the affray it appears that OBrien and Truman had some words early in the evening concerning gambling transaction. At 9:30 the men met on the corner of Broadway and Twenty street and during the dispute Truman drew a large dirk knife with an eight-inch blade and stabbed OBrien in the abdomen, infiict- ing terrible wound. O'Brien then drew his revolver and fired two shots, both of which took effect, one in the right arm and the other in the back. Both men were taken to the New York hospital. The affray caused the greatest excitement on Broadway where both men were well known. Late to- night both men were reported to be in e critical condition.

The monotony of the pace is varied once in a while by brush between O'Melia and Wal ton, who, having had more rest than anyone else in the race, are enabled to show much greater pace than the others. The men look comparatively fresh for athletes who have travelled such distance. The leader, Snowden, is developing ominous stoop From present indications six men will get inside the limit of eight hundred miles which entities them to share in the gate money. These are Snowden, W. Boyst, Maddocks, Schock, Francis and probably Hartman. The score at II o'clock was: .Snowden S6S, w.

The sky was cloudless and the air warm yet bracing. AL though there were four races popular excite ment centered in the third, the Derby Over $150, ,000 was bet in the auction pool and books on the ground on this event alone. J. T. Williams colt Joe Cotton, by King Alphonso out of Inverness, was conceded the stake by the sporting fraternity, but there was much uncertainty, and the result shows that Cotton would have been beaten by good riding on the part of Bersan's jockey, the crack of Morris and Pat tens stable. In the betting Cotton was sold nearly even against the field. There were ten starters and they got away at the first trial for the mile and half journey. Cotton and Bersan were together in the last of the group After half mile Favor rushed out, took the track and made the running within half mile of home, when Cotton challenged him and was in turn challenged by Bersan. Bersan started to run tri1e late. Both horses were whipped home for the last eighth of a mile and Bersan steadily crawled up, cutting Cottons lead down inch by inch Cotton went in first. Fifty feet more ot running would have beaten him. The time 2:3714, is half second slower than the best Derby time.
