NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-THE officials
Of the telegraph company here are ret
icent concerning the false report sent out
by the racing department from the race
track to-day that Royal Nettie had won
the last race. instead of Plug. but from
the best o~btainable information the trick
was lone by an operator in the telegraph
office at the race track. 1t was about an
hour after the false result had been sent
to all the pool rooms in the country that
the change made in the result was discov-
cred. The pool room reporter states that
his message giving the result of the race
the last one of the day-was correct. as
filed with the telegraph company, and ne
was greatly surprised to find that his mes
sage had not been correctly sent. The pool
rooms in Texas claim to ave lost $1,000,
while the Birmingham. Ala, pool room lost
$1,5OO, Nashville 5000 and others through
out the country were caught.
CHICAGO. March 1.-The local rooms
lost about SIS, 900 on the Royal Nettie race.
The heaviest loser was O'Leary's room, at
the stockyards, where 5000 was dropped.
The list of losses is as follows: O'Leary.

Powers & O'Brien, 5000; Bud White. $500;

rooms, which lost small amounts. Many
of the losers denied tonight that they had
lost anything, but they were all hit, and
most of them hit hard.
LOUISVILLE. KY, March 14.-Royal Net
tie was played off the boards in the local
pool rooms. The word had gone around
among those on the inside, and when the
odds for the sixth race at New Orleans were
posted there was a scramble to get on at
10 TO L. Rapid drops in the price did not
cause the betters to weaken, and more
money was offered than could be taken until
the bookmakers had all they could stand.
The amount pulled down by ticket holders
will run into the thousands.
CINCINNATI, March 14.-The three men
in Cincinnati who lake bets on the sly say
that Cincinnati was not worked by the
to-day. Phil Boro, of Elmwood, and Kid
Shaw, of Hamilton, o., both say they were
not touched. There is no pool selling else

HOUSTON, Tex, March 14-Texas pool
rooms we've hard hit to-day on a false re-
ner of the last race at New Orleans, which
Plug really won. and tickets were cashed
before there was a correction. Houston,
Galveston and San Antonio rooms suffered
for over $1,000.
KANSAS CITY, March 14.-When the one

RECURRENCE OF LEAP YEAR.
Why There VIII BE No More for Eight
Years to Come.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
Young men and middle-aged bachelors
who may complain because there is no leap
year in 1900 must blame Pope Gregory XIII
for a condition of affairs that occasionally
arises to prevent leap years falling every
four years. One hundred years hence, how
ever, or in the year 2000, there will be no
change in the calendar to prevent a leap
year at the beginning of the century,
ii would The conditions which bring about
a lapse of a leap year were explained by
Almanac Office in Washington. 1t seems
that when the Julian calendar was intro
duced the equinox fell on March %. At
the time Of the Council of Nice, held in
325, it fell on the 2lst. and when the refor-
nation of the calendar was made, in 1852,
it had refrigerated to the 18th.
In order to restore the equinox to its for
mer place, Pope Gregory XIII directed ten
days to be suppressed in the calendar, and,
as the error of the Julian INTERPOLATION was

coping. those which are multiples of 400.
According to the Gregorian rule of inter-

Gregorian rule gives 81 intercalations in
