Express, III us sporting column, says: The
race Tor the Withers stakes Yesterday
showed that While We have Swear olds in
the East, we certainly have not a first-class
one in the lot that faced the starter vester-
day. The best 3-year-old seen in the Fast
this year is kelso's colt The Bard. Sey-
eral other Eastern 3-year-olds have not vet
been seen in public this year, but if they
have not improved any better than Mink.
Portland and Biggonnette, the Western g.
year-olds will capture the cream of the
prizes.

AT JEROME PARK.
New YORK, May 2Sth-A. M.-The dis
satisfaction and melancholy OF Wednesday
at Jerome Park became bitterness and ex-
ASPIRATION yesterday. The police were
even more unsympathetic and pitiless. and
when the afternoon was half over they ar
rested 4. H. Cridge, head of an extensive
and wealthy firm, and one of the best
known and best-liked bookmakers in
America. Any betting that he has done
at Jerome Park this week has been ia a
quiet and unobtrusiye way, and only with
personal friends The racing was not
brilliant. Mr.. Mcdowell, giving excellent
starts on Wednesday, made a deplorable
mess of the send off for the Croton handi-
cap, the most important race of yesterday.
leaving at the post Burch, the favorite. and
three others. Mclaughlin rode Burch.
He was caught mapping, and the race was
won by CasSatt's Anialgam, who carried
only 80 pounds. Amalgam us in the
suburban handicap at Sheepshead Bay,
and it was reported after the
Croton that Mr.. CaSSatt would win $780,
600 if Amalgam should capture the great
race on June 10th. But this is probably
great exaggeration, and Amalgam is not
likely to get the Suburban any way. the
principal reason being that he cannot run
fast enough. Rock and Rye, Avalon, Sam
Brown, Pampero and Blackstone We're in
the first division when the word was given,
with Amalgam close up. Pampero was in
the lead, after running half a mile,
with Rock and Rye at his neck, and
Blackstone third, with Amalgam only
short space back. POmpero gave it up at
the head of the home stretch, leaving
Blackstone to sustain the honor of Brook
dale. But Amalgam, with his light weight
and no small speed, soon settled all opposi-
ton, and won easily by two lengths, Buck
stone second, length before Florence,
who ran up rapidly from an obscure posi-
ton on the last half mile. Tecumseh came
III fourth, and the Duke of Westmoreland
fifth. The value of the stakes to the win
ner was $3.50.
Increased Cost of Government
CHICAGO, May 27th.-The Irib.tne's Wash
ington special of May Goth says: Rivalries
for supremacy are cropping out in so many
ways that few members now look upon the
tariff debate and the fate of the Morrison
Hewitt bill as having any bearing on tax
reduction. Colonel Morrison further con-
firmed this idea in his talk to-day, when,
after lecturing Republicans who refuse to
go into the sham tariff reform movement
out of which they have been explicitly in
vited to stay, he trounced the Bourbons for
their extravaganza. You talk about
keeping the expenditures down to one
hundred millions" he said, addressing
his own side of the House you're
not doing it, and you know that you
are not going to do it. Look at the record
you're making. 1t will take more than
one hundred and fifty millions to pay the
bills" These structures are severe, but
true. This is one reason why some of the
Democratic members are so anxious to pass
the tariff bill that they know cannot get
through the House. They hope to hide
their extravaganza by pointing to some
thing that looks like a tax reduction, but
to proposition to actually reduce the bur
den of taxation by keeping down the ex-
penditures they will not hearken. By the
passage of the appropriation bills, outside
OF the pension and miscellaneous bills,
Holman has learned that the excess of ex-
penditure over the present year is 1928, 000.-
900.
A Good Year for Railroads.
New YORK May 27th-"'The estimated
growth of the West said Henry Clews to
your correspondent, 'is at the rate of 10
per cent. With compound interest. Al
though the past year has not been one of
the best for railroads, | am creditably in
formed that the Northwestern will carry
$4,000 to IFS surplus account after paving
the usual dividends. The future is full of
promise. The building contemplated by
the Northwestern, the Rock Island. st.
Paul and Chicago, and the Burlington and
Quincy is to meet the actual demands of
the times, and not in anticipation of them"
