THE RACE TRAcKs.-It was re-
ported yesterday that number of the
horsemen racing at st. Asaph have
signed and yesterday presented to the
association, through J. ]. McCatierty
and Eugene Pierson, petition de,
manding that the purses shall be raised
from $3.50 to $400. If their request is
not complied with, every owner has
agreed to stand by the other, and re-
fuse to make any entries. This may
inaugurate novel strike. The Off
Gals decline to talk on the subject, but
Treasurer Kirk stated yesterday that
the meeting had not been sufficiently
profitable to justify an increase in the
size of the purses, and that such a
proposition would receive no considera-
ton at present. The owners taking
part in the movement are those of the
middle class. Mr.. J. NJ. Hill said to-
dav that a thorough understands
ing existed between the horse owners
and the managers of the track and that
he anticipated no trouble whatever.

DUcKED THE WRONG MANOR
Sunday last several convivial young
men left here on their steam yacht to
indulge in a planked shad repast at one
of the river landings, and being unable
to get their boat close to the shore, by
reason of shallow water, they employ
ed strapping negro to take them
ashore on his back. Some of the party
corrupted the negro to accidentally
stumble and duck one of their number,
who was somewhat portly, and when
the Colonel" who was one of the cor
rupting party, got on the negro's back
the latter stumbled and the colonel
went over his head into two feet of wa
ter. Floundering to his feet he ex-
claimed to the negro, "D-ny you, I'm
not the man, twas that other fat man
you were to duck" Now the colonel
has Just been nominated at the demo
cratic primary for an important office
and if he can measure the height OF a
tier of wood as well as he measured the
depth of water the Office will suit him
admirably.

FINED FIFTY DoLLARS.-There were
four men in the Police Court last night
who had been arrested on suspicion of
having assaulted Moy Yum, China
man. who conducts a laundry at the
corner Of King aud Commerce streets.
The evidence was not sufficient to con-
Wet the accused, although it was
proved the men were in the neighbor-
hood at the time of the assault. The
Chinaman stated that he had been
struck on the side by brick thrown
by some one about twelve o'clock Fri
day night. On another occasion he
said stone had been hurled through
his window. Mayor Strauss stated
that several complaints had been made
to him lately of outrages perpetrated
upon Cinnamon in this city, and he
had determined when the evidence
was positive against anyone molesting
them, in the future to impose the full
penalty of the law. One of the first
cases brought before him this morning
was that of burly negro named Will
liam Day, who was charged with wan
tonly assaultiug with brick Thomas
Jefferson, the celestial brought to this
city when small child by the late
Capt. Hussey. Jetferson's head was
cut, so much so that DR.. Pur-
Wis was called to render surgical aid.
The evidence was conclusive and fine
of fifty dollars (the utmost penalty un-
der the city code) was imposed, and if
it is not paid the offender will be sent
to the chain gang for six months.
