root GUARDS, RECEPTION.
There VIII be Fine Demonstration Satur-
day Evening

The members of the Second Company,
Governors Foot Guard, in this city,
who are arranging for proper recep-
ton of the command upon it's return
from Atlanta, had another meeting at
the armory last evening. A committee
from the Grays was present and report
ed that the company would parade with
the American band and would be pleas
ed to act as an escort to the reception
committee during the ceremonies of the
evening.
Members of the naval brigade were
also present, and while not authorized
to speak for their command, they were
of the opinion that the brigade would
be in the procession Saturday evening.
The committee on decorations gave fiat
tering reports of the friendly feeling of
the merchants along the line of march.
The simple request was made that flags
be displayed where practicable, but in
nearly every instance the merchants ex-
pressed a determination to celebrate
the occasion with fire works, and it is
very likely that State, Chapel and
Church streets. will present a scne of
splendor on Saturday evening never be-
fore witnessed in New Haven. All the
members and eX-members of the Foot
Guard will assemble at the armory at
Z o'clock, with dark clothes, Derby hats,

cort of the Grays march TO the station

ade in readiness to manipulate the fire
works. The naval militia will proba bly,
BE- in line also with band, action in
that direction having been take last ev-
ening.

Scot, Scotch. or Scottish.

A keen discussion as to which Of the
above terms is correct has been going
on for some time in the columns of the
Scottish American of New York and the
following contribution by New Ha-
ven Scot may be interesting:
In your issue of the 9Th inst appeared
a letter on the above subject by "a
Scotchman" in which he says that Scot
and Scots have a peculiarly limited
though equally well understood applica-
ton" l regret that he did not from
his point of view define this peculiar
well-understood limit, as / understood
the term Scots" to embrace all ma
tives of Scotland.
In the dim opening of British his
tory Scotia was the name applied to
Ireland alone. Early in the fifth cen
tury a colony of the people of Scotia
Qreland) was formed in modern Ar
gyle; and they are historically known
as Scots. In the middle of the ninth
century a Scot inherited the Pictish
sovereignty, and the name Scotia"
began gradually to loosen from Ire
land and fasten on Scotland, till the
person of Malcolm ID king of Scot
land is for the first time referred to
as Rex Scotia. Thenceforth Scots be-
came the Saxon name for the people of
the northern realm. Thus Scot is the
proper word, and to say Scotchman,
Scottishman, or even Scotsman, is NO
nearer right than to say Danishman,
SWediShman or TurkiSh1nafl.
Scottish and Scotch are undoubtedly
formed from the word Scot; the former
being easily accounted for by the affix
ish, which Nuttall says is IAN adjective
termina tion of English words, it forms
possessive adjective as in Swedish
&C. and when we say Scottish (the
extra being merely to retain pro-
nunciat tion) we do not use word ''simi-
lar in formation to the words English
and Irish for the sake of similarity
but because it is the proper adjective
form of the English word Scot If, how
ever. we annex man to Scots, Scot
tish or Scotch we use a word on ac-
count of it's similarity of formation t
'Englishman' and Irishman, even II
we realize it is not
The derivation of the word Scotch
can only be explained as a corrupt
reduction of Scottish to a monosyllable
by which it acquires the brevity and
perhaps, the euphony to accord 1t, by
use and wont, rank as a permissible
word. From the standpoint of propri
ETY. there can be no absurdity in such
terms as Scottish oatmeal" "Scottisf
herring" or even Scottish mist"
Habit has made the words Scotsman
Scotchman and Scotch at least per.
missible, but if we use the correct words
they must be Scot and Scottish.

Morris Park Track

Morris Park, Oct, 2A-The excellent
program presented here to-day brought
out an attendance of five thousand. The
weather was perfect for racing purposes
and the track was hard and fast. The
event of the day was the race for the
municipal handicap, for which such
stars as Henry of Navarro, Rel ell Santa
Anita and Clifford We're entered. Each
horse had a good following in the ring,
but Henry of Navarro went to the post
the favorite at odds of 3 to 5.
To a perfect start the lightweighted
Andrews set out to make the pace and
at the half mile he was six lengths in
the lead At the mile post he gave way
to Clifford, who piloted the field to the
mile and a quarter Here Henry of
Navarro headed him and Rey ell Santa
Anita came up and took second place.
This order was maintained to the fin
ish, Rey ell Santa Anita making plucky
but unavailable efforts to get up, and
Henry of Navarro winning amid great
cheering by length in S;O2.
The race for the fashion stakes, the
other big event on the card, was cap
tured by Mr.. Belmonts speedy tilly,

NO OFFICIAL ACTION TAKEN
MEETING or NEW YORK TdCHr
CLUB HELD LAST NIGHT.

The Cup Committee Awaits the Receipt of
Further Information by Mail From Eng

New York, Oct PA meeting of the
New York Yacht club was held tonight.
Commodore Browne presided Secre-

matter. The cup committee awaits the
receipt of further information by mail
from Percy Thelusson, secretary Of the
Royal Victoria Yacht club, and pending
the receipt of the same none of the
members seen tonight would say any
thing regarding the matter. The cup
committee on the Defender-V Valkyrie
races of 1895 submitted its report. 1t
is voluminous document All the ma
terial parts of the report have been
already published with the exception of
the following paragraphs relating to the
remeasurement requested by Lord Dun
raven OIL september Z, the morning OF
the first day of the races:
"On Saturday, September Z, Lord
Dunraven communicated to the cup
committee his belief that Defender had
sailed that days races immersed three
or four inches more than when she was
measured. Lord Dunraven stated that
he believed a change had been without
the knowledge of Defenders owners
but it must be corrected or he must
discontinue racing. He did not wish to
say to the committee what action it
should take, but he desired a re-meas-
urement that day.
"The cup committee after considering
the communication from Lord Dun
raven ordered a re-measurement to be
made at the earliest moment. On
September 8 the yachts We're marked
as requested by Lord Dunraven at the
same time they were re-measured, with
the result of one one-eighth of an inch
difference in load-water-line in case of
Defender and of an inch with Valkyrie.
AS the result varied the time allow
ance only a second or two and in no
way affected the outcome of the races
it is not deemed necessary to give ad-
ditional measurements"

RAIDED BY THE DETECTIVES
CENTRAL OFFICE MEN DESCEND
UPON THE MORRIS PARK BOOKIES.

They Were All Arrested for Exhibiting
Odds, Thus Violating the Laws--The Ac-
cused We're Taken to the Essex Market
Court Where They Were Paroled by
Magistrate Cornell.
New York, Oct. 24.--At the conclusion
of the running of the Fashion stakes
to-day at Morris park the appearance
of a number of central office detectives
in the ring caused a sensation. The
officers proceeded among the boollies
and arrested Billy" Snow, John Nae
gle, Mike Goodwin, Charles Heaney,
Percy Naegle, William Thompson, j.,
Harris Gor George Wheelock) and Or
lando Jones.
They We're all arrested for exhibiting
odds, thereby violating the betting
laws.
1t was rumored that a general raid
was to be made upon the ring and the
boolies soon shut up shop.
The officers hustled the arrested men
outside of the track and patrol wagon
was summoned from Westchester sta
ton. AS soon as the excitement sub
sided somewhat the bookmakers start
ed in, but close outlook for another
rush was kept. Just before the bugle
sounded for the last race the officers
went to the judges stand and arrested
Judges Simmons and Mcdowell and
Chris Fitzgerald, the clerk of the scales.
All were taken to the station house,
where bail was furnished and they re-
turned to the track. 1t is said that
more arrests will be made tomorrow.
The books that were not molested did
business on the last three races as usu-
al, but none exhibited the odds on their
cards.
The accused were taken to Essex Mar
ket police court. Magistrate Cornell
paroled them in the custody of their
counsel. This raid is in fulfillment of
the threat of Lawyer Steinhardt TO
prove that the racing law is being vio-
lated at the Morris park track in his
war upon racing, melted jointly by the
anti-gambling league and Peter De La
cy. A test case was made recently in
which President Lawrence of the West
chester Jockey club was arrested ana
taken before Judge Ingraham, who dis
charged him.
Another account of the raid says:
Lawyers Benjamin Steinhardt and Jul
ius Lehman went to the Essex Market
court this morning, accompanied by
George T. Henly of Brooklyn, and swore
out warrants for the arrest of Samuel
b. Lawrence and others on four differ
ent charges of violating the gambling
laws. The affidavit made by Henley
as against Samuel B. Lawrence, in
charge of the Westchester Racing asso-
citation, and others alleges that they
participated in the running of sweep
stakes-that is to say, races in which
certain amounts are put up by horse
owners in the nature of wager. Stein
hardt and Lehman say that if the
racing association had merely offered
prize by itself. that would be consti-
tutional and legal Lawrence was not
arrested to-day because he could not
be found. 1t is thought he will surren-
der tomorrow. The examination of the
defendants was set down for Monday.

GANG OF FOOT PADS.

Robbery Occurs on Putnam Street at an
Early Hour of the Evening-Thleves Se-
cure His Watch and Chain-General
Alarm Sent Out But No Arrest Made-At-

bed, He lately arrived here from
Mauch Chunk, Pa, and roomed with
his brother at the above number.
1t was about o'clock last evening
that he was passing through the lower
part of Putnam street when he was
accosted by a man who asked him for
"a nickel to help get a nights lodging, He
told the fellow ne had no money for
him, but the man walked with him
little ways and finally asked him what
time it was.
He took out his watch to see when
the man grabbed the watch and ran
into a yard. Backert started after him,
when he noticed five other men there.
They were leaning against a fence and
passing a can of beer around, Backert
followed up the thief when the gang
interceded him and demanded what he
wanted
He started to reply when one of the
men struck him a heavy blow in the
eye and the gang scattered in various
directions. Backert was stunned for
few minutes, but soon pluckily started
in search of his assaihant
He turned the corner of fence in
the rear of Spring street. when he came
upon two of the men and demanded
his watch of them. One of them made
blow at him and hit him under the
ear, but Backert shouted for the police
and the two men escaped again.
Backert then notified Patrolman
Klaiber of the robbery and he in COM
pany with several other policemen made
a search for them, but none of them
could be found. The central station
was notified by telephone and general
alarm and description of the thieves
was sent out. All the patrolmen were
notified of the robbery, but no arrests
have been made.
Backert is stopping with his brother,
brakeman on the Consolidated road.
The watch was a gift from his mother
ROBBERS ON THE GREEN.
There were two cases of attempted
robbery on the green last night. A lady
was passing in front of the Center
church shortly after o'clock when
a man nAde "a grab for her purse and
knocked it from her hand. The purse
| fell at her feet and as the man started
| to pick it up she gave it kick with
| her foot and darting quickly she re-
| covered it and the man took to his
| heels.
| Word was sent to the police station
and Detective Sergeants COwles and
| Reilly started Immediately for the
| green. Their search was fruitless. In
| a few minutes they received a tele-
| phone message at the police station
summoning them to the green again
| for an almost precisely similar attempt.
A lady was passing by Trinity church
|
! she carried in her hand. The lady
| screamed with fright and passers-by
Fastening to her aid the would-be rob
| Der fled and was lost in the shadows,
| The description given by the two
| ladies tailed in many respects, but
would apply to most any of the vag-
rants that are now sojourning in this
city.
