Suits a gainst tho Consolidated Road.
| There have at least been twenty suits
brought In New York against the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad by law
yers representing several hundred clients.
These suits are for charging excessive fares
from New York to the race track of the New
York Jockey club. R. J. Shadbolt of No
| $50 Broadway, New York, has about one
hundred such claims placed In his hands fol
the purpose of seeking redress for his clients.
Hon. Lynde Harrison, who represents the
road, says that there are large number Of
people who are trying to blackmail the road
to secure money. The railroad has been
given to November IS to answer in the first
suits brought. The road will make test
case of this action and refuse to make any
settlements. Mr.. Shsdbolt states that there
are fully one thousand people in New York
who will begin suit within few weeks.
When President Clark got back from
Europe he would not make change, and
claimed that the road had been put to q
great expense to build the track from the
main line to the trotting park and that Eve
cents was not too much to ask under the cir
cumstances. The race track managers plead.
cd for some relief to their patrons, but Mr.
! Clark was resolute.
A hearing was held before the railroad
| comnission of New York last month, but II
was postponed, and no sooner had that been
| done than many New York residents placed
| the matter before prominent lawyers who
volunteered to bring euit with the object OF
| obtaining settlement.
