Californians Engaged In New York Real
Estate Ventures.
New York, June 25th.-The Post saws
The holders of large plots of ground in
central locations are much interested in
the operations of the $15,000,000 syndicate
of California capitalists, of which Charles
Crocker and Haggin and Tevis of Cali
fornia are supposed to be the foremost fig
ures. A real estate agent in Thirty-fourth
street is the agent of the company, and
he is negotiating for several tracts. AL
ready the concern has purchased the
Strathmore flats on Broadway, and expect
to close to-day with the owners of a
large piece of property at the intersection
Of Broadway and Seventh avenue, where
million-do fiat will be erected. The
syndicate propose to run up the walls to
the S0-ioot limit now allowed by law,
temporarily roof the structure and then
petition the Legislature to repeal the law
preventing the building of high buildings.
Being possessed of ample means and hav
ing had much experience in securing legis-
lation, the syndicate hope to succeed. A
large tract of lots on Broadway, also on
Prince street, are being examined, with
view to the purchase and erection OF
two-Inillion- dollar building.
The Washington Park Jockey Club.
CHICAGO, June 25th.-The Washington
Park Clubs opening day is tomorrow, and
the sporting headquarters in this city are
alive with people The indications are
that the attendance at the track, providing
no rainstorm comes on, will be enormously
large. About the Palmer House, where is
located the Secretary's office, there are
crowds of sporting men, and the merits of
the various horses in the Derby to be run
tomorrow are being constantly dis
cussed This is the third renewal of
the American Derby for three-year-o
one mile and one-half and it is thought
by those who should know, that it
will again fall to the lot of California. 1t
was won in 1884 by Corrigan's Modesty
and last year by Baldwin's Volante. 1t is
expected that there will be ten or more
colts face the starter, including Ashes Ed.
Corrigan and Guenn, Corrigan's Hat
tie Carlisle and Free Knight, Gray &
Co.'s Jim Gray. Haggin's Ben Ali and
Preciosa, Barnes Bluewing and Baldwin's
Silver Cloud and Lijero. There are 6S
nominations, of which II declared out.
The stake will be worth about $4,000 to
the winner, and is the richest fixed event
run for in the West. 1t is the third race on
the programme, the other races being purse
events-one mile, six furlongs, nine fur
longs, and a hurdle race, one mile and q
quarter. The stables on the grounds here
are full of horses, and the track presents a
very lively sight throughout the day. The
stables of the California owners are eagerly
scanned as last years successes at this
place by the horses from the Pacific slope
are not forgotten. There has not been any
heavy betting so far, but what has been
done shows the Haggin and Baldwin stables
| to be the choice.
