Tapped the WIGS.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.--One Of the
boldest overlapping schemes which
has been attempted in several years
was successfully put through by
gang Of sharp young men on Saturday
in this city. AS usual pool room
keepers were the sufferers. Had not
some members OF the gang played the
two principal workers in tine scheme
false there is a probability that the
affair would never have been known,
as it was so admirably arranged and
executed that even the Western Union
telegraph experts were fooled. One
OF the principal race department cir

was tapped returns were delayed IN
oil bets were made by those in the
scheme and then ire results were sent
by the operators who were at the tap.
The two pool rooms lost so heavily
that they appealed TO the telegraph
company Tor relief How much the
gang made is not known, but one Of
the persons on the inside says the
amount is not less than S25CO and
may be $4,000. The pool rooms which
suffered are in Harlem. The circuit
which was tapped has eight or nine
Offices on it and 50 skilliully was the
whole business managed that no
thought OF trickery was entertained
until after the races were over.
