AT JEROME PARK.
New YORK, May 2Sth-A. M.-The dis
satisfaction and melancholy OF Wednesday
at Jerome Park became bitterness and ex-
asperation yesterday. The police were
| even more unsympathetic and pitileSs, and
when the afternoon was half over thev ar
rested A. II. 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 unobtrusive 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 Cassatts Amalgam, 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 a
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 were in
the first division when the word was given,
with Amalgam close up. Pampero was in
the lead, after running half 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
| i'll 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 5ribu1le'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-
tirmed 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
yIted 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 1t, 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 S23, ,0OO.-
900.
