What Causes an Eclipse.

While almost everybody knows
thanks to the public schools and the
nswspapers-,hat an eclipse of the
moon is caused by the earlh's shadow
falling upon the moon, very few have
more than a dim idea as to how it
occurs. If the three bodies, the sun
which Eliminates, and the eartE and
moon which reflect are in the same
plane, or, in other words, in straight
line, there will be a total or annula1
eclipse of the sun or moon. If the
moon be between the sun and the
earth the Opaque body OF the moo,
will cut off some of the suns light ant

THAT CROOKED DERBY.
Sensation Caused by Captain Sam
Browns Charges,
WHAT PHIL. DWYER SAYS
Vac Claims That the Race Was
Perfectly straight"

The sensation in sporting circles
during the past week has been the
charge of crookedness in the Ameri-
tan Derby of 1882 made by Captain
Sam. Brown. 1t was a sensational
Derby, as every one remembers, and
The Dwyer Brothers colt Runnymede
was the favorite. But Apollo, rank
outsider in the betting, won the event
and upset the talent. On the day of
the race it was thought by those
present that Apollo had won the race
ON its merits and because on that day
he was better horse than Runny-
mede.
The substance of Captain Browns
charges has already been printed in
The CRITIC. He says:
know nothing definitely myself. Itwas the
Derby of 1892, as mentioned in the dispatch.
One OF my informants was Captain william
Cottrill, who died about year ago, but the
ether, Louisville pool-seller, Jim Burt is
stll alive. 10 is claimed that the work was
performed by the then well-known pool firm
watts. Cathcart & Hughes, which in 1882
held the pool-solling privileges of the Louis
willie Jockey Club, paying $4,000 for the
same. This firm made big winter books on
the Derby, and took hundreds of bets against
Rnnymedo, who was an immense favorte,
being a Kentucky horse. Members of the
pool firm made books against him regardless
Oh odds They suddenly discovered that In
event of his victory they stood to lose nearly
S37o,0 900. There were other good horses In
the race but they were not in shape. Green
Morris's Apollo, never fast one, had been
trained at New Orleans, and was in good
h,,t hoA
Runnymede. The latter's owners only stood
TO win about $4,000 all told, including
stakes, and what was to prevent them from
paying $4,000 to have horse second
Apollo won and Runnymede was not far be.
hind. The claim that the latter was out of
shape will hardly pass muster, for in the
Clark Stakes few days later he made show
Of his company.
The Dryers and their friends in
New York are prompt to resent the
charge that Runnymede lost the race
unfairly. The veteran Captain VIM.
NJ. Connor, who was at the race, says
that at that time and at no time since
UP to the present, so far as he knew,
had the charge been made that the
race was unfairly run. "The fact is"
said he, "the race was won and lost
on its merits, and Mclaughlin did
everything in his power to make
Runnymede win. Why shouldn't he
have done so? Michael Dwyer backed
Runnymede heavily, and probably
had as much money at Stake on the
race as any five men on the ground,
book-makers not excepted. He lost
heap of money over the race, and he
never thought but that his horse was
fairly beaten"
Mr.. Phil. Dwyer was indignant
when he read Captain Browns
charges, and SO was his jockey, Nc
Laughlin. Mr.. Dwyer made it his
first business to telegraph to Colonel
Lewis Clark, president of the Louis
vile Jockey Club, demanding an i'm
mediate, thorough and exhaustive ex-
animation Of the assertions of the
Pittsburg horseman. He sent word
to - Colonel that he would come on
