CROKER AND DwYER LOST.
They Bet Heavily ON Lux at Saratoga
Yesterday.

SARATOGA, y. ", July 26.-There was a
large crowd at the races to-day. Specula-
ton In the ring was brisk on all the events.
NJ r. Dwyer and Richard Croker bet heavi-
ly on Lux in the first race on the strength
of reported fast work There is a great
deal of dissatisfaction here over the pro-
posed change of time of beginning the
races, and IL is believed that after short
trial Mr.. Walbaum will be compelled 10 go
back to the old plan of racing in the morn
ing. The bookmakers are also dissatisfied
over what they say is an imposition IN
charging them a tax OF $40 per day. There
at least dozen bookmakers from New
York who have not gone on, and will not
until the business improves. Eugene Leigh
has arrived from the West, and some more
horses, and Ed Corrigan is expected to-
morrow. After the Don AlonZo-Ramapo
race in which there was betting on time,
this form of speculation was prohibited by
the stewards. On and after Monday own
ers will not be permitted to scratch IN
races TO which no entrance fee is charged
unless they pay 10 per cent or the purse
This is equivalent to a fine OF 800 Tor
scratching a horse. Summaries:
