HAS CLIFTON A ,CLNCH."
Rumored That the Passaic Freehold ers
VIII Grant Them a License.

Special to The JERSEY Citv Aegs.
PATERSON, July 81, 1893. 1T is stated on
highly creditable authority that while the
Citizens Anti-Racetrack league is think
ing about beginning to get to work on
public sentiment some time in the fall,
the Clifton racetrack proprietors have
been very busy for the two weeks past
with members of the county board, and
that they now feel sure enough of success
to warrant them In the intention to apply
to the Board of F~reeholders, at its meeting
next Tuesday, for a license to open the
gambling establishment down the plank
road. The story goes that the racetrack
people boast of having secured, probably,
the votes of nine members of the board,
and surely of seven, which is a majority.
Passaic county was made $1,000 richer
yesterday afternoon, when Lawyer Kalisch
of Newark, counsel for the Clifton race
track people, who have just been par
doned from the one-year sentence imposed
by Judge Dixon for keeping a disorderly
house, appeared at the odice of Prosecutor
William B. Gourley to consult that official
as to the paying of the fines.
The track magnates are anxious to have
the matter cleaned up, and after a short
Gourley, the latter %escourted the Newark
lawyer to the office of the sheriff. The
fines amounted to $1,000. They were as
follows: George H. Engeman, $1,000; John
Engeman, $500; William A. Engemen,
$500; A. H. Battersby, $500; Charles Vic
tor Sass, $500. The money was promptly
paid, but the track men have yet the costs
to pay tor carrying the cases to the higher
courts.
The costs in the upper courts have not
yet been taxed, but they will amount to
several hundred dollars at least, SO that
altogether it will cost nearly 81, 1000 to get
the cases clear on the court records, to say
nothing of the other expenses. The hve
men will have to appear once more in the
Court of Quarter Sessions to exhibit their
pardons SO that they can be officially dis
charged by the presiding judge.
