THE IVY CITY COLLAPSE.
Details ofthe Fasl of Tim Campbclrs
Racing scheme.

Details ofthe Fall If Tim Campbelrs
Racing scheme.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Post
publishes details of the collapse OF the
Ivy City racing scheme in which Con-
gresham Tim Campbell and his
brother were interested. In addition
to the %, 800 due the horsemen, the as
ISOLATION is said to be indebted to the
judges, Starter MoLaughin, Secretary
Sass and every other employee whose
salaries range from 800 a day down.
There are other liabilities amount
ing to more than 100000 The
owner of the track has seized
the hired furniture of the g~randstand,
for rent of the track. 1t was stated that
Fl. Clay Ditma. had completed all mr.
rangements 10 have the New York city
pool rooms take the Ivy City races, and
that the rooms were raided by the Do
lice the day before the arrangement was
to be carried out. Some 81, 700 was to
have been paid daily to the Ivy City
association, and if the rooms had not
been closed theracing at Ivy City would
have continued without interruption.
How the Club Was Formed.
The story of how the Ivy City Jockey
club came to be formed Is told i'm this
way. When the New Jersey legislature
promised to pass a bill prohibiting rae
ing in that state Harry Decker OF this
city conceived the idea of starting up
at Ivy City. He went over to New
York and interested Charles M. Meir,
president of the Central Oil Gas Stove
company. with headquarters at 400
Pearl street, in the scheme. Al stock
company was formed and among others
who went into it was Tom Campbell, a
brother of Congressman Tim Campbell.
This brought the latter iuto it in his
official capacity as a lawyer. Mr.. Meir
put up several thousand dollars. John
A. Qualey was made president of the
club and was supposed to look after
Meir's interests, Mr.. @ ualey came to
this city with a big flourish and gave
everyone the impression that he had big
money invested III the enterprise. Sev-
eral Washiugtoniars were induced to
invest III club stock, and the money
went with that of Mr.. Meir.
who is said to have dropped $f1, 900
all told, and then was done with the
whole business. AS the New Jersey
Legislature did not pass the non-raciug
bill, the Gutenberg and Gloucester
tracks were not closed and this also
helped to make this Ivy City scheme
a failure.
Tim Campbell had the restaurant
privileges at the track and his losses are
reported to have reached about S6, 800. |
