SPRING RACES ASSURED.
The Jockey Club viii Reorganize and
Take Charge.
Secretary Smith of the State Agricult
ural Society Explains-A Good
Meeting is Expected.

The gentlemen who composed the
membership of the old Capital Jockey
Club are considerably exercised over the
published statement alleged to have been
made by Edwin F. Smith, Secretary of
the State Agricultural Society, to the
effect that there would beno spring races
this year.
Mr.. Smith was credited with having
said that spring meetings did not pay, and
that they would not be attempted again.
HE WAS MIsoUoTED.
The Secretary, however, when inter-
viewed by a RECORD UNION reporter
yesterday, stated that he had not been
quoted correctly. What he did say was
that there would be no spring meeting
under the auspices of the State Agricult-
, nral Society. He was very sorry, he said,
that the gentlemen who composed the
club should have been led to believe that
he or the society was trying to throw cold
water on the proposition. He would be
pleased to see the citizens take the matter
in hand he said.
And that is just what the citizens are
going to do.

Agricultural Society has over $500 of our

or so we will have pretty respectable
sum of money to make up the purses

when do You figure ON having the
meeting take place?' asked the reporter.
well, that has not been definitely de-
cided upon yet" replied Mr.. Bowers.
But my opinion is that it will be given
shortly after the Blood Horse races at the
Bay. You see, we will get all the crack

You feel confident of success?"

failure yet. Look at the meeting we
gave two years ago. Could anybody wish

indications are that we will be even more
successful this year than then"

ADJUSTMENTS.

Another large and delighted audience
witnessed the presentation of Twelfth
Night" at the Metropolitan Theater last
evening. The company, excellent as it
seemed on the first night, improves the
more it is seen. Marie Wainwright's
Viola is so beautiful an assumption that
it defeats Judgment and disarms the the crit. crit
ical spirit. Miss Walsh as Olivia is
scarcely behind the principal, and moves
and reads as the ideal of Shakespeare
may have done in his exquisite fancy.
AS for Messrs. Hill, Owen and Brooke.
we can entertain the belief that they are
without successful rivals in the respective
parts of Malvelio, Sir Toby and Sir An
drew. For all these people are artists
and endowed by nature and by art with
the attributes that insure complete and
rounded assumption of the characters
they undertake to interpret.
Their work last night is the warrant for
the assurance that this evening, in Tobin's
fine comedy, "The Honeymoon.n we
shall have an exceedingly choice exhibi-
ton of comedy art. Marie Wainwright
will be the Juliana of the play, Miss
Walsh will personate Zamora, Mr. Owen
the mock Duke, Mr.. Hill Duke Aranza,
Mr.: Brooke Lopez, and Miss Muldener
Volante. With such q cast and the ex-
cellent support Miss Wainwright's COM
pany furnishes, "The Honeymoon" will
be given in manner to satisfy the most
eXacting taste.
The box plan for the reservation of
seats by subscribers to Henry NJ. Stan
ley's lecture will open at o'clock this
morning, exactly. at Houghton's book
store. For the general public, the seating
plan Will be open at the same place at
the same hour, on Monday morning
The sport-loving community will be
given rare treat at the Clunie Opera
House next Tuesday evening. Harris
combination of Australian boxers will
occupy the stage on that evening, and
judging from the talent comprising if, a
splendid athletic entertainment should be
the result. The troupe is headed by James
Hall, who defeated Fitzsimmons in three
rounds IN Australia, and who has como to
America to do it again. if FitZsim-
mons will give him an oppor-
tunity. There are also in the com
pany Abe Willis, the Australian bantam
champion; William Maber, the light
weight champion, and if the next Aus
tralian steamer arrives in time, Goddard,
the famous heavyweight, will be with
them. All of these men offer to meet all
comers in their classes. It is stated that
Charles Turner, the Stockton boxer, will
face Hall, and may be some of the others
will find opponents. But in case none
should appear, each of the Australians is
provided with sparring partner, so that
the public will not be disappointed.
The Young Peoples Society of the First
Baptist Church gave pound social last
night. A large company assembled and
enjoyed very pleasant social time.

PROSPECTIVE BONANZA.
Street-car Employees May Get Paid fo
Oyar-tfDa

Street-car Employees May Get Paid for
Overtime.
Several months ago differences arose
between the Central Street Railway Com
pany of this city and some OF its EN-.
ployes, which resulted III the discharge of
number of the car-drivers and con-
ductors.
f. III. Coy, one of the discharged en-
ployes, commenced an action in the Su-
perior Court to recover the sum of "a, $50
from the company as penalties under an
Act OF the Legislature which provides
that any corporation or company manag-
ing street railroad and employing con-
ductor, driver or gripman, for more than
twelve hours in one day, shall forfeit the
sum of $50 to such employe for each day
that he is so employed for more than
twelve hours.
Upon a demurrer to the complaint in
the action, Robert T. Devlin, on behalf of
the railway company, argued that the law
IN question is unconstitutional, while the
validity of the law was contended for by
Isaac Joseph, representing the discharged
employee.
Yesterday Superior Judge Van Fleet
decided that the Act is constitutional, but
sustained the demurrer on some minor
points. Should this decision be sustained
by the Supreme Court, it will prove a
veritable bonanza for the car-drivers and
conductors who have worked for the COM
pany more than twelve hours day.

A LITTLE STRICT.
Last Years Players Cannot Practice a,

Last Years Players Cannot Practice at
the Ball Grounds.
For several days past, Goodenough,
Reitz and McHale have been practicing
on the ball grounds at Snowflake Park a
couple of hours every afternoon, but OH
Thursday, Manager Ginsberg, of the Sac
ramentos, gave orders that they should
not be allowed that privilege hereafter.
McCloskey, it appears, was told by Mr..
Ginsberg to order Goodenough off the
field. He refused to do so, stating that
he gave him permission to practice with
the men, in order to be in form to fill his
Eastern engagement, and told Ginsberg to
order the man away himself if he chose
to do so.
Thereupon Ginsberg gave orders to
John the ground-keeper, to tell all
three players, Goodenough, McHale and
Reitz, to go somewhere else if they wished
to indulge in practice work.
Goodenough will leave for st. Paul in a
week or so to play in center field for the
club of that city. BE will receive $225
per month. He was offered $50 to play
here.

SWALLOWED CARBoLIc ACID.

John Kaiser, of Smithfield Street, While an
Inmate of the West Penn, Drinks Four
Ounces of the Poison-Presumably OF
Unsound Mind.
John Kaiser, of John Kaiser & Co., man
ufacturers of ,tailors' trimmings at 613
Smithfeld street and 527 Larimer avenue.
Sbadyside, died last night at As o'clock in
the West Penn Hospital from the effects Of
a dose of carbolic acid, taken presumably
while demented.
The deceased had been giving way to drink
for some time past, and on last Wednesday
he was brought 70 the hospital by friends.
Yesterday morning he seemed to have re-
gained his normal condition and was al
lowed the liberty of the ward. He passed
the time in talking to and amusing the other
patients, and no suggestion of his purpose
was evident in his manner, and at o'clock
he asked his nurse, James Stearer, for per-
mission to leave the room for moment,
liberty which was freely granted. After a
time he returned, and remarked, in casual
way, that he had drank bottle of carbolic
acid he had found in closet.
DIR. Boggs was at once summoned, and
did what he could to relieve the unfortunate
man, but without effect, as he was dead in
three-quarters of an hour. He had taken
about four ounces of the poison.
Mr.. Kaiser was about 45 years of age.
He leaves q son and daughter, who were at
once summoned to the hospital. The Coro-
ner will hold an inquest this morning.
