PUGILIST FRED JOHNSON ARRIVES

GRAvEsEND, May 18-When the bugler
called the starters for the first race to the
post this afternoon there were fully 10000
persons on the grounds. Strong breezes
from the ocean swept across the track and
compelled the women and their escorts in
the grand stand to button up their wraps
and top coats to secure a full measure of
comfort.
The programme bore the names Of a host
of high-class racers As the track was as
dry as bone, fast time and exciting fin
ishes were looked for.
The pleasure of the spectators was sadly
marred by series of disgraceful scenes that
were enacted by the Pinkerton detectives.
After the first race for some unknown rea-
son Phil Dwyer instructed Chief Pinkerton
to eject all the newsboys from the track and
in the future to prevent them from selling
newspapers inside the gates of the track.
These boys were handcuffed together,
dragged into the secretary's Office, their
badges taken from them and they were
thrown off the grounds. Results:
