New YoRK, May 15.-Amidst a deep
and oppressive silence Diablo. the aged
son OF Eolus and Grace Darling, won
the rich Brooklyn handicap at Crave
send this afternoon in the presence OF
$4,000 persons.
Lamplighter. the favorite. who went
to the post carrying ton Of money, was
second and Leopawell third. The win
ner's time was 900, made fractionally
as follows:
Quarter 25a; half 81; three-quarters
l:l0; mile :42a; mile and quarter 300.
Tho reason for the chilly silence with
which Diablo's victory was received Is
rather difficult OF explanation. The
probabilities are that tho people felt in.
stinctively that they had, in q measure,
been the victims Of what Is termed u
grand coup. Diablo was regarded as
being in the first flight in his two and
three year old form, but after his
third year his legs became shaky,
Since then ho has been regarded
simply us high class selling
placer that was likely to break down
permanently in any race in which he
started. The horse has raced three
times at the recent Elizabeth meeting,
winning once out OF three starts. Race
land and Charade, two horses that ran
in the handicap to-day, wero the win
ners OF these races and beat him easily.
His wonderful improvement in form to-
day was therefore all tho more stunning
in its effect.
The Brooklyn handicap run to-day
was the seventh in the history OF tho
event, and was guaranteed to bo worth
S25, 900. Oh this sum tho winner gets
$4,000. tho second horse $1,000 and the
third $4,000.
Tho day dawned brightand fair much
to the delight OF tho many thousands Of
persons that had determined to see the
rich stake contested for. AZ the day
advanced and the bright weather pros
poets Of tho morning were fully realized,
people set their faces toward the raco
course and soon the different driveways
and railroads leading thereto assumed
an animated appearance
The crowd was gradually and steadily
augmented until, when tho bell rang
for the first race, itwaa difficult to move
about with any degree Of comfort on
the lawn or in the betting ring, while
the club house and grand stand were
filed to overflowine.
At least 25000 persons had crowded
into the track at this time. Still the
trains were rapidly arriving with thou.
sands Of others. At handicap time at
least $4,000 persons were present.
The scenes in and about the track
were both picturesque and exciting
The crowd moving about the lawns was
truly cosmopolitan one. Bankers,
merchants, aud lawyers elbowed their
clerks; grave, austere judges seemed to
lose their dignity, and eagerly picked
up words dropped by dirty little stable
boys or pinched and weazened- faced
jockeys. Touts, both black AMI white,
could be seen hobnobbing with the sonp
OF the aristocracy and the horny handed
mechanic stood in earnest confab with
the millionaire. The betting ring pre-.
sented wild and boisterous scene. The
jam was something awful.

THE NEWS IN CHINATOWN.

the Supreme Court Decision.
SAN Francisco, May 15.-When the
news that the United States supreme
court had confirmed tho constitution
ality OF the Chinese exclusion act
reached this city to-day extras were
quickly on the streets. Information
was quick in reaching the Chinese Soc
tion, where the $4,000 Chinese reside,
representing nearly one-third Of the en-
tire number in tho United States. They
stood about in large groups before their
own bulletin boards for some statement
from the Six Companies, which had
compelled them to refuse to register.
They were not inclined to accept the
report through the American newspa.
pers. During the first hour there was
no outward excitement among the
Chinese, but 1t was evident tho news
was distasteful aud unexpected, as it
had been telegraphed that the decision
would turn the other way.
Chinese Vice Consul Uhong 0wang
was seen by representative Of the As.
ISOLATED Press, to whom he said:
II have nothing to say in regard to
the immediate effect the final decision
OF the supreme court will have on the
Chinese in America. It will be q great
blow to business in Chinatown. As to
what the Chinese government may do
in the matter, have still less to say
Tho treaty between China and America
has been broken by the government at
Washington and is no longer a contract
and will not be regarded by the Chinese
government as n factor governing any
action they may sec fit to take"
Tho decision OF tho supreme court
was received throughout the city in q
quiet way.
Collector OF internal revenue Quinn
said he will take no action until further
advicos from the treasury department.

Tho Bettlng In WhOoIIng,

Tho pool box here was not opened
until very short time before the race
was duo to start. Then the rush was so
great that not nearly all the would-be
bettors could be accommodated,
Twenty to one was offered against
Diablo, with few takers. A
number OF Pittsburghers were
down expressly to bet, and
were pretty sore when the box was
closed and they still had their money
Lamplighter and Banquet were the
favorites, as they were everywhere, and
a good many winnings were made on
the field againgt these.

MONEY.

During the month of February
the volunteer fire department was
disbanded. After the companies
received official notice to that effect
each one held one or more meet
ings to agree on a plan to dispose
of the sick fund of the old organi-
cation. One or two companies were
II favor of keeping the money,
durSiSH oHu '~---~-- 49, Sn----
which amounted to about $500,
intact, for the purpose of aiding
any member of the old volunteer
department who might be sick or
in want. The majority of the COM
panies favored an equal division of
the fund, and it was finally so de-
cided on.
Henry Smith, who was secretary
Of the old department, made his
final statement which showed that
the money in question was loaned
on good property and that it could
not be called in without entailing
a loss.
The matter rested for several
months and in the meantime q mu-
tual arrangement was made where
by each company would get its
share which amounted to $4,000.
For some weeks past there has
been murmurs of discomfort, not
loud but deep, arising from the
members of old No. 2 Engine Co.
Some members of this company
are in favor of keeping their share
in lump for benevolent purposes,
while the majority want it divided
equally between the members.
The majority, so they say, have
not been able to get full attend
ance at meeting called for the
purpose of settling the matter, and
at meeting held at the bell tower
on Tuesday evening committee
Of three was appointed to call ON
the treasurer and make a demand
for a statement of the finances and
also to make a settlement.
The treasurer said he would res
pond today.
No. 2 company has received
quite a sum of money from the
government for horses and other
property, and it is estimated that
there is over $1,000 in the treasury,
or collateral representing that sum.
