The thing was done BY visual telegrsphy.
Frost and the other com pnnants in these
suits visited the track daily In a carriage.
This carriage and Electrician Pearsall's hat
was a rolling telegraph Office. from which the
news was flashed to operators outside the
track. and by them to this city. There was q
telegraph key and battery in the bottom OF
the carriage. Pearsali. who was literally cover
ed with wires. sat up on the box as the coach
man. He wore hat with Q hole no larger than
half dollar in the crown. and inside Of that
hole was a tiny electric light that connected
with the wires which were under his clothing.
The party in the carriage we're altogether a
staid and respectable party. They paid their
entrance fee. and their carriage stood among
the other carriages as though It contained
nothing out OF the ordinary. The occupants
viewed the race with apparent pleasure. The
operators outside were stationed 400 yards
from and high above the track. and 500 yards
beyond them was signal pole. which was
used for the double purpose Of signalling and

promised on Saturday. Ho got several
thousand dollars. but not nearly the amount
ne thought was due him. He had taken into
consideration the cost Of Il suit against
monoyed men and had concluded it was bet
ter to accept what he got than sue and wait.
Tho grounds on which his nav wA~ delayed
was that he had not performed his contract.
The contract was for ton days mt ST 900 ~ day.
News was furnished for six days correctly md
in more or less erratic fashion for the other
four days. when it wasn't possible to work the
light. Papers in suits for this money against
De Lacy and against the Western Union T"le-
graph Company were actually drawn up. Frost
said. and. had the matter not been settled on
Saturday. would have been fled.

about the settlement For more than n day
the question was on matter OF 500. FL
