A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Excitement at Jerome Park Over the
sale of Mr.. Pierre LoriIlard's Colt
POntiCO.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.
There was an unusual excitement at the
Jerome park race today attending the sale of
Pierre Lorillards colt POntico who won the
selling race for two years olds. He had been
entered at $500. Under the rules two-thrds
of the surplus over and above the entering
price go to the owner of the second horse and
one-third to the owner of the third. Mr.
Lorillard finding the colt better one than he
had supposed, authorized his friend. Mr.
Gordan. to protect him in bidding to the ex-
tent of $1,000. When this limit had been
reached, Mr.. Gordon saws he stopped bid
ding. The auctioneer did not think so and
to every rise of $500 or $1,000 from Mr..
Dwyer he responded with S5 advance. pre-
sumaby for Mr.. Gordon. The offers rose
rapidly in this way until Phillip Dwyer, who
had taken his brothers place as bidder,
reached $4,000. Fifteen thousand and
FIVE, said the auctioneer, and then after a
pause he knocked down the colt to his owner
for SIS .005. Instantly MIR, Lorillard rushed
up the steps of the judges stand and in a
voice trembling with passion, cried, "This is
scheme to rob me. 1t is plain swindle. ="
Turning to the anctoneer, Mr.. O'Neil, he
shouted. "You are one of the fellows who
are trying to rob me. You know Gordon
never bid SIS 900 or anything like it." O'Neil
protested his innocence. Philip Dwyer ran
up the steps of the stand. ''Be careful what
you say, Mr.. Lorillard." he screamed. 1--WE
know our rights here and we intend to have
what is right You can't brow-bea us even
if YOU are Millionaire. That was fair sale
and no swindle The colt was sold to you
and you must take him. Don't talk about
swindling here" The Brooklyn turfman's re-
marks were greeted with applause from the
crowd. After a considerable war of words,
the judges decided that as Mr.. Gordon's last
bid was s7005 the sale should be made at that
figure.

not play, several players refusing to go as

Harry Wilkes Defeats fhalla. In Three
Straight Heats.
CLEVELAND. Oct. .

CLEVELAND, Oct. ..
Harry Wilkes defeated Phs!las in three
straight heats on the Greenville track today.
winning purse of $1,000 and 80 per cent OF
the gate receipts. The result was a genuine
surprise to everyone and the local sporting
men dropped goodly amount of cash on the
result. The day was cold and stormy. Phallas
did not seem in his best form. The first
time Bithers drove him under the wire he
broke badly. He also seemed lame although
this was hardly perceptible at the start.
Wilkes, however, seemed in perfect condi-
ton and in all the practice work never left
his feet The track was, in fair condition
when they came out, but grew little slippery
under the steady fall of rain during the prac-
tice work and scoring. After fou- scores, in
two of which Phallas broke before reaching
the wire, the horses went away for their first
heat. Pools were now selling. Wilkes, $50
Phallas, $40. When the horses went away
they were neck and neck. Wilkes drew the
pole.
Before the first furlong had been trotted
Bithers tried to pass Wilkes, who increased
his pace, however, too fast for Phallas and
he went up into the air. He caught his feet
quickly, but had lost length and half This
lead Wilkes maintained to the three-quarters
When the two turned their faces homeward
they were going like the wind. Phallas trot-
ted squarely, but Wilkes lead was too great
The last quarter was trotted in 32i seconds,
2.09 gait, and was as pretty an exhibition
of speed as has been seen on the track for
many day. Wilkes won by an open length
in 2.l7i
The start in the second heat was even, but
Phallas could not stay on the ground. He
broke badly at the eighth post and came
down length and halt behind At times
Phallas trotted grandly and seemed likely to
overhaul Wilkes but on each occasion when
he seemed about to take the lead he broke
badly and fell behind. Wilkes logged home
in 2.20t.
Third and last heat, Wilkes had a nose the
best OF Phallas, who broke. He caught his
feet again, however, and hustled Harry to
the quarter 10 34a. Many now expected to
see Phallas win the heat He was out trot-
| ting Wilkes but between the quarter and halt
posts broke twice. Each time Bthers caught
him well. and on the further stretch he again
showed speed. 1t looked like close race
| home. but Phallas put an end to all such
hopes by again leaving his feet and Wilkes
logged under the wire in 2 l9b.

CROP REPORTS.
The Corn Crop the Largest Ever Known
in the South.-COtton Slightly Damaged
by Bad Weather.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 2
The Times-Democrat published eight col
umns of crop reports from correspondents
throughout the cotton belt during the month
of September, and especially in the latter
halt. The weather has been untavorable in
Mississippi Louisiana, and portions of Ala
bama, Arkansas and Tennessee. Frequent
and heavy rains have prevented picking.
caused the seed to sprout in the boil, beat out
the matured staple, and caused the splitting
of unmatured bolls. This has cut down the
prospective yield of September, in sections
mentioned, considerably. The weather in
Texas has been favorable and picking has
progressed satisfactorily. The reports ind-
cate an increased production over the last
crop. From present appearances the crop
will be 5 per cent. larger than that OF 1884
This estimate may be somewhat changed by
the weather of the present month. In Texas
the estimated increase of the crop over last
year is Is per cent. Very few counties re-
port the Weld as less than last year, while a
larger increase is reported in the north and
east where the major portion of the crop is
raised. In Louisiana an increased yield is
reported in nearly all the northern parishes,
but in the low lands the rain has greatly cut
off the yield. In Arkansas there is pros
pective decrease in the crop of about per
cent In Alabama there is some increase.
South Carolina, Florida and Georgia will
raise about the same crop as last year. Ten
nessee shows an increase of from to 10
per cent
In Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi the in
creased yield of corn is very great, and other
Southern states show larger yields. This
crop will probably be the largest ever raised
in the South All small grains have been
harvested and the yield was quite satisfactory,
The sugar crop of Louisiana will about the
same as last year on a smaller acreage. The
rice crop, though somewhat damaged by the
weather, will be very large.
