There was fine piece OF work done at
the race-track here to-day, by which
every pool-room in the country was hit.
The sixth and last race OF the day was
won by Plug, out the official result was
changed by the telegraph operator at
the race-track TO read that Royal Nettie
had come under the wire first She was
a lO-to-1 shot, and this deliberate falsi-
fication OF the result by the operator
was no doubt the contamination of a
carefully-laid plan by himself and con-
federates at various points. II is stated
by telegraph experts that the wire
could not have been tapped, as the wire
to the race-track Is what is known as
a duplex wire, and an intermediate set
