TROUBLE In THE NAVY YARD
Lathe Broken While Twisting the Ring
from the Eight-Ench Gun.
Two Big Driving Wheels Came Very Hear
Falling-Man Dissatisfied Because
of Reduction in Wages.

The error in measurement of the hydraulic
recoiI cylinders on one of the new eight
inch guns for the Navy, which was reported
exclusively in The Times, is occasioning
even more difficulty than was al fist ap-,
pretended. On Saturday last in trying to
remove the cylinder from the tube, the
main driving shaft, which runs six of the
longest iathes in the gun shop, twisted
and warped, and finally broke, narrowly
avoiding the fall OF the two huge main
driving wheels, weighing nearly two tons
each.
II these wheels had fallen ten men who
We're working on the big lathe Immediately
under them would have been killed or
manned for life.
The accident occurred while the Ia The was
reversed in the effort TO unscrew the
hydraulic cylinder, which through the al
legged ulismeaSuremeut OF Master Mechanic
Charles Robinson, who has charge OF all the
gun measurements, was stuck On the gun
tube Work was suspended On all of the
lathes affected by the break, and at d late
hour last night the trouble had not been
reusdied.
II has been reported that the mistake
which was made on this gun was reported
in The Times, was not a mistake at all, but
that the trouble was due TO an experiment
#" men WIS Do1lS Ildde Oh du eh hpeTiiHeHtdl

! Well, TO warrant the gun OF this class being
manufactured out of nickel steel and that
| this jacket had been stuck on the gun as
| result OF one of the experiments aud had
| occasioned no loss to the government.
| This is said not to be a fact. The gun that
! has been injured is one of those intended
| for actual service, and when completed
waste have been sent to the proving grounds
at Indian Head, to be tested for fiual use
in the Navy. The experimental gun is
hidden in pit and cannot be seen.
On Saturday night, Capt. Jewell the
! inspector of ordnance, issued a notice to the
| effect that all special rate men would have
to accept a reduction from So 28 to $3.04
per diem, and first-class men from $3.04
TO So so per diem, in order to be retained
at work. On account of the hard times the
men had no alternative but to accept.
There was considerable excitement in the
Navy yard on the notice which wasiutenSi-
fled when last night, eleven men were dis
charged from the gun shops and fifteen
men transferred from the gun shop to the gun
carriage shop at q Teductrion of twenty per
cent.
There has been growing dissatisfaction
| among the men on account of the par
simonious methods employed by the gov
| ernment in many small ways. The men in
the Navy yard are compelled to pay by
| individual subscriptions for all the towels
ice and soap used by them.
In all the other departments these things
are supplied by the government aud the
men consider it q hardship that discrimin-
alton in this direction should operate against
| them.

Baltimore, April 15.-Notwithstand-
ing the cold, cloudy weather, 1880 people
saw the Champions beat the Princeton
Varsity team by score OF 1 2 to 1.
The collegians put up a snsppy game
in the field, but showed up weakly at the
bat. Hitzrott, who pitched the first six
innings for Princeton, was fairly effective
except in the first inning, when the Cham
pions touched him up for four singles
and double, which, with a base on balls,
yielded them five runs.
Wilson succeeded HitZrott and was loudly
applauded when he retired Dan Brouthers
on strikes, Gunster and Brooks carried
off the fielding honors for Princeton.

singer, both acquitted themselves cred
itably. Score:

Gossip on the LAWN.

Among the new arrivals at the st. Asaph
track yesterday were the well known
plungers, George Wheellack, Fred CONAN
and Jockey Willie Midgley.
Although the proposed match race be-
tween Simmons and DR.. Rice may not
come off on Saturday next, Jockey Clerico
left here last night for Memphis, and in the
event of the match coming off will ride
Simmons. 1t is not known who will have
the mount on Dr.. Rice, but the chances are
Fred Taral will pilot him notwithStand-
ing the fact that he stated himself few
weeks ago that he could not find time to
make the trip, as he had TO galiop the
Messrs. Keene's horses.
John Smith, well-known employe of
the Jockey Club, who has assisted all the
secretaries of the New York tracks in
gathering entries, and who acted in the
same capacity at st. Asaph, is dying in
this city OF pneumonia.
Jockey Penn had brilliant day in the
saddle yesterday riding Logan, Trayesty,
Hernia and Hoey to victory. His other
mount, Darkness, hurt himself by becoming
entangled with the fence and had to be
withdrawn.
If Salvor had won the fourth race the
Edison Club would have lost a barrel of
money, as they laid the top price against
him and never stopped taking in money
on him.
With an even break Captain Brown
would have won the last race, as he could
never close the three lengths advantage

Jockey Club Says St. Asaph Must Close the
Foreign Book To-day or the
Track Will Be ounawod.
Especial to the Tlmes0


New York, April 15.-The poof-room or
foreign book in operation adjoining the Yir-
ginia Jockey Clubs track at st. Asaph re-
ceiyed the attention of another special
meeting OF the stewards of the Jockey Club,
held tonight.
The members present were Messrs. Bel
mont, Downer, F. Keene, Knapp, Thomp
son and sturgis. After long statement
from Senator Mushback, who explained
the relations between the Virginia Jockey
Club and St Asaph Driving Park, the sec
retary was instructed to notify the secre-
tary of the Virginia Jockey Club that the
foreign book must be discontinued imme-
diately.
The stewards refused further ~informa-
ton, but il has traDspired that the Viz
ginia Jockey Club had some sort of an
agreement with the foreign book, and it is
equally certain that they must now cut
loose from the foreign book or forfeit its

protected by the charter under which the
Virginia Club is racing. II il don't stop
this tomorrow summary measures viii be
taken at once.
The general opinion among members OF the
Jockey Club apart from the stewards is that
there had been lot o1IylHg with reference
to this st. Asaph business. Secretary Nc
Intyre denied repeatedly that he had sold
hisstock and thatthe eclubhadnraGe oVertures
to the Western Turf Congress for a license.
Lynn, the bookmaker, made an application
for admission Of the Virginia Jockey Club
into the Turf CoRgressfold. This is admitted
by Lynn and bis presence at the Congress
confirms his statement.
The whole proceedings look bad. There

or else the club, fearful OF its awkward
position, has played on both sides OF the
feneein order to'drop on a soft spot.
The refusal of the Turf Congress to
admit the Virginia Club leaves st. Asaph on
thin ice and it must either give up its license
and be outlawed or stop the foreign book
tomorrow morning.
