BLUNT AT THE RACE TRACK.
Edmund Blunt was at the Brighton Beach race
| track yesterday afternoon for the first time this
season. He seemed ON excellent terms with
himself and rs he quietly and unostontatiously
slipped in and out through the crowd that al
most overlooked the grand stand OF the track
by tho sea, and nodded pleasantly to the occa-
sional friend he met. his mind and conscience
appeared to be perfectly easy. When asked for
an interview he said. quietly and without the
| slightest change Of expressions:
You will excuse me, as have nothing at all
to say"
Blunt then walked away and joined an ac-
quaintance who called to him. and q moment
later he disappeared in the crowd.

when the correspondent called at the Dan
gerfield mansion in Alexandria this afternoon
Mr.. Reverdy Dangeriield was not at home. He

was passing pleasant summer at Asbury Park
as the guest OF her aunt there.

Park prove to be true it is obvious that Blunt
