RICHMOND DAILY TIMHe,
June l0. 100.
Now that Mr.. Bacon and HE associates
have taken the Hopkins Baltimore and
Ohio common stock in exchange for the pre-
ferred stock Of that company, II IL believed
that the same parties will secure the adsii-
tionai three thousand shares held by the
university. II is stated by insiders that
the Bacon syndicate and the Garretts, their
associates, will pool all their holdings, 70
that there will he about one hundred thor
sand shares allied together for the pcrna-
nent operation and control Of the property.
This perpetuates the Mayer adminIstra-
ton and will afford II ample financial
aid to carry out Mr.. Mayors extensive plans
for the permanent improvement Of the pro-
perty. No one associated with the new
railroad interests identified with this alli-
ance will exercise n controlling voice or
vote. but that will be absolutely under the
direction Of the Mayer-Garrett party, and
assures to the property vigorous and con-
servative policy. The operation ot certain
railroad systems In close harmony with the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, will be most
advantageous to the road. This,
and the permanent elimination OF all
political elements from the adminIs'
tration is most gratifying 20 tho
stockholders. IL is not known here who
actually compose the syndicate but enough
il known to satisfy the large holders of stock
that the movement is practically in the In
tercst of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
property and its stockholders, and at the
same time will benefit those railroads, whose
owners are interested In the syndicate.
THE NEW GARDEN.
Tonight Eduard Strauss and bis orches-
ira, together with the two ballets Of "Peacc
and War; and "Choosing the National
Flower" opened the Madison square Gard
en- Amphitheatre. The inauguration was
such as New Workers have never Witnessed.
Ever, thing which sayors of elegance, ease,
beauty and culture was gathered 10 adorn
this amphtheatre. The wonder Is that We
have been able to get along without such q
place of amusement all these years, and
the projectors have undoubtedly worked for
the public good as well as for their
own interest. Nothing we have had
since New York was Incorporated as
a city looked more like success than
does this vast enclosure, with It's magniii-
cent surroundings, which has been f1lly de-
scribed In The TIMES. At the conclusion
of the fourth musical number grand bal
let In one act, entitled CHOOSING the Ma
tional Flower" was danced. The east
included Mile. Corbette IA Flora, Mile.
Rodman as Columbia, in search Of a flower;
Mile. Boullard as Golden Rod, Miss Nay
Allen as Pond Lily. NJ. Espinosa rs Mis-
trail, and NJ. Eugene as the Dragon Fly.
Other members OF the corps de ballet repre-
sented different flowers and insects. In tho
other ballet given, "Peace and War;" tho
characters were personatcd by the principal
artists of the troupe.
THE GREAT SUBURBAN.
Every racing man in the country Is anx-
iOusly looking forward 30 tomorrow, when
IL is expected that "A number OF crack tho.
roughbreds will meet 10 decide supremacy
in the rich suburban, which Is one OF the
few really classic horseraces Of which the
American turf can boast. That IL will be u
red-letter day in turf annals, and that Que
of the best contests Of the year Will be w.t.
messed. is almost n certainty, and all that Is
needed 10 draw out crowd that viii tax
the capacity Of the >heepshead course 10 its
utmost is fair sky and "A good track. IL
there il "a sensational equine struggle dur
Ing the year it should be in the suburban.
Following are records Of some Of the ens
trips at "A mile and "A atlartpr.
