A
This is the place to find many Of the owners
and trainers sitting around telling stories,
making forecasts and smoking.
"Don't break; get back there. now" 1t is
Jimmy Rowe starting one of the big fields
which have marked the week. People from the
grand stand see that there is a big trouble in
getting these fields started, but can have no
idea of the trial it is to a mans patience until
a nearer view is obtained. Rowe sits on the
fence with the flag in his hand and talks calmly
to the boys. He has an assistant in-chief in
the shape Of gentleman of color answering to
the name Of Hill, who stays out on
the track with whip and DULLES the
boys. 1t is remarkable the way Rowe retains
his temper with the temptation he has. The
horses are lined up seemingly ready for a good
and Immediately the whole crowd is on the
move for fear of some one gaining slight adj
vantage. Rowe is calm through it all and keeps
up constant stream Of talk.
"Now, them get back there Don't break that
way Stay light where you are, Fred, and III make
them come back to you! Here, get back Of that
linen' In the meantime Rowe's assistant gets
excited. He cracks his whip with vigor and
PUSHES from one side Of the track to the other
with little avail.
Little sonny, you get back therev' he yells,
with a crack of his whip. The jockeys say
never a word. They watch each other, that is
all, and keep a continual edge up, edge up,
which is exasperating for the starter. Finally,
however, a dash is made, Rowe cuts the air
with his flag, and away they go, hugging the
fence in a manner which threatens an accident
at any moment.
The large number Of ladies who have visited
the tracks this year form a marked feature of
this meeting. The grand stand has fairly
blossomed with fresh spring dresses.

BASIS OF ANNA's STORIES.
Her Brother Says Miss Dickinson's Chary,
Are Not Without Foundation.

Her Brother Says Miss DickinsOn's Charges
Are Not Without Foundation.
Special to the New York Herald.
Prof. John Dickinson, brother of Susan and
Anna, lives in Los Angeles, Cal. saw him TO-
day. He talked willingly of the controversy
between the sisters as follows: First you must
remember that am brother of both the par
ties and you must not make me appear to be
taking sides with one or the other. am very
proud Of my sister Anna. Since she was six
teen years old she has made considerable
money and won great prominence.
"Anna always made money easily and was the
personiication OF generosity. Susie always
acted as housekeeper and her secretary. When
Anna's health failed the residence i'm Philadel-
phia had to be abandoned and cottage was
leased i'll West Pittston, where Susie as a news
paper correspondent actually supported the
family. 1t was at this place my mother and
brother died and here Anna returned at the
time of her suit against the republican ma
tional committee for money she had earned
Susie was unremitting i'll her care az a nurse
and work in earning money for the family
Then Anna was attacked by insomnia and was
soon reduced to such condition TINT il WINS
absolutely necessary she should have rest and
care. The state of her finances would not per-
init of putting her in q private asylum and,
much to Susies regret. Anna had to be taken
to the state asylum at Danville, where she rap
idly improved Later she was taken to another
institution at Goshen and then her stories OF
persecution commenced.
'These are common ideas with people slightly
deranged, but 1t is not remarkable that Susan
should Indignantly rise in her own defense
These stories are Of that kind which. if all the
circumstances were known. their trivial founda-
ton would appear ludicrous, yet they do have
sufficient foundation to prevent a truthful per-
son from declaring them lies formed out Of
whole cloth.
You know how even an angry person will
distort the most harmless acts. NV two sisters
are not only angry, but worn and wearied."
The professor produced letters from Susan
which showed an intense spirit of love and in
terest in Anna. The letters written during the
latters stay at Danyille were very affecting. l
also read several letters from Anna. They are
forcibly written, and l can easily understand
how the person they are directed against would
find it difficult to answer the adroitly worded
charges they contain.

The jockeys are usually trim set Of fellows,
although some Of the coiors worn here this
year should be ruled from the track until they
could be washed. The spectators usually take
a great interest in watching the Jockeys weigh
and press down around the stand during the
process. Whether jockeys in a mile race use
much more than instinct in riding is question.
Most jockeys say they hardly know whathappens
from the beginning to the end Of
a race. Owners however, usually give
the jock instructions of some sort before
race and these little consultations
between owners and riders are continually 60
ing on around the paddock.
One little black Jockey boasts that in o race
which he won very cleverly he received no in
structions. 'All he say to me-" said he, re-
ferring to the owner, twas, 'Yo brack rascal,
you ride like HI, and of yo' loses I'll skin yo'
black back"
The lawn in front Of the stand is more used
this year than ever before. Chairs are brought
here and little groups formed.

The Newest Coniid.nce Came.

L. s. Walters came to Chicago on Tuesday
night from his home in Indiana and met .
young man who invited him to have drink.
While they were drinking the young man ex-
planned that he was a ''bunco steerer" and was
laying for countryman who was to purchase
q worthless bond for $3.50. The young man
said he could not 60 to the depot to meet his
victim, as he was too well known to the police,
and asked Walters TO take the bond and sell it
TO the sucker" Walters agreed to do SO and
the young man gave the bond TO Walters who,
in return, gave his new-found friend $25-a
security that he would return with the $50 to
be obtained from the countryman. Walters
went TO the depot, but the countryman did not
appear, and after waiting until nearly midnight
he told his story to an officer.
