OPENING DAY AT MORRIS PARK.
The New Betting Law Works Wen
Hut odds Not as Good.


Morris Park. N. Y, May 1.-THE new
racing law was tested al Morris Park
to-day. 1t was the inaugural day of the
National Steeple Chase Associations
meeting. The new betting system acted
like a charm. No one need worry about
placing a wager under the new order of
affairs. All the prominent bookmakers
were on hand.
The system agreed upon by the book
makers was to make memorandum OF
the transaction and settle upon an occa-
sion to be mutually agreed upon. There
was no lack of speculation, and II was
done in quiet and orderly manner. There
was some kicking about the prices OBJ
tanned. One man got got 10 to on Say
onara and was jubilant when he ascer-
tanned from his friends that the prevail
ing odds were = to ). 1t took some TAN
hustling to get the market price, as the
bookmakers were guided solely by the
amount of money wagered with them in
the making of odds. 1t is doubtful II as
good odds win be obtainable under the
new order of things but there is no doubt
but that a man can bet as much as he
likes If he is known TO be a man of his
word. The bookmakers will undoubteG-
~ brand defaulters and the associate
Will probably assist them all in their pow
er by refusing admission to men who
have not kept faith with the pencillers.
The same rule will apply equally to the
defaulting bookmakers.
The racing to-day was of an exception
ally nlgn order. Some or the finishes were
quite exciting. The attendance was large
and the association reaped a handsome
profit on the venture. Sayonara won the
first race in a very hollow fashion Pat
Oakley put the talent in good humor by
winning the second race quite handily.
The St. Nicholas hurdle handicap, con-
trary to expectations, was won by Red
Cloud. His closing price was y to I. He
won after long and persistent drive with
Judge Morrow.
The race of the day was the New York
steeple chase handicap. This event was
won by Lady Raymond by a. head after a
ding dong finish with The Peer
The fifth and last race of the day was
a hunters fiat race. Logan was an odds
on favorite against the field. Whether IL
was the weight, or the Odds or both, is
not known, but Logan was a badly beaten
horse at the finish. Price beat him with
something to spare.

CHICAGO's EXPLOSION.
Thirteen Persons Burned-Caused by
Lightning.

Chicago, May 11.-By the explosion of gas
at lis O'Clock this morning in the building
No. 10 Sherman street, thirteen persons
were terribly burned. The lower floor OF
the building was occupied by Aug Meis-
chall as saloon, and the two upper floors
as boarding house Meischall jumped out
of a window on the third floor. Mrs Meis-
chall and her two children We're badly
burned.
The explosion is supposed to have re-
suited from an accumulation of natural
gas in the basement. There was a heavy
bolt of lightning preceding the explosion,
and it Is the theory of some of the firemen
that this might have been the cause of 1t.
Two victims of the explosion died this
morning. Meschall, who jumped from
the third floor sustaining serious internal
as we'll as external injuries, died at 81
Luke's hospital. Alexander Dune, who
was terribly burned from head to foot
died at the county hospital. Other vic
tins of the explosion are reported get
ting along very badly, and there will prob
ably be other deaths to-day.

THE MARKET OvERsTOCKED.
Quantities of Truck Filing Into New
York From Along the Coast.

Quantities of Truck Filing Into New
York From Along the Coast.
This season seems to be a rather pecu-
liar and Unprecedented one in the truck
ing business. Owing TO the severe win
ter, the crops along the coast are now
coming along all about the same time, and
the consequence is that there is a heavy
rush of some classes of vegetables to the
New York markets. The following is an
extract from a letter from Mr.. r. L.
walker, agent Of the Ocean Steamship
Company. In New York to Gen. G.. NJ sor-
rel, general manager, who is now in Sa-
Vannah:
The market for squashes and Florida
beans cannot recover. Each day prices
seem to be lower. Strawberries are arriy-
ing from North Carolina and Virginia
which the wagon boys buy in preference
TO anything else for peddling about the
streets Asparagus Is coming in from Jer-
sey and selling at rs cents per dozen. The
trade hopes for fair prices on
the first arrivals of beans from
Savannah ana cucumbers are bringing good
figures The situation here is unprece-
dented Tor the season. apparently due to
the whole coast throwing at once produce
OF one sort or another upon the market"
1t seems that several thousand crates
OF Florida squashes and beans have had
to be carried to sea and thrown overheard.
This is a loss to the transportation lines.
as well as to the shippers, who have the
expense OF growing and Grating the stuff.
mere Is lltlie OF no market IN New DIRK
for squashes, and the bean market seems
overstocked. Some peas. too, have been
arriving in New York by the all rail lines,
not in the best condition, and some of
them have brought only 10 cents a crate
1t is suggested that the truckers work
up western business. II seems to be an
idea with them that they must send every
thing to the east or to New York, while
little or no business from this section goes
west. The fruit crop of this section goes
west largely, and the same course might
be pursued with part of the truck crop,
and, perhaps, with good results.
