Leigh's big bay Arrezzo locked horns in
the third race over seven furlongs with
Moreno, Sweet William and Lady Hurst
as the only contenders. Arrezzo went to
the post even money with 8 to 3 AGAINST
the black fellow. The 100 TO ! shot Moreno
and William made the running to the
stretch. where Cash Sloan on the favorite
gradually moved up and led Sain out a
neck at the wire. Sweet William ran
fine race, being but neck further away.
A miscellaneous assortment OF platers,
thirteen in all, faced the barrier in the
next event, a five and a half furiong
scramble, with Hannetta at 24 10 ruling
slight favorite over Torpeuo. Neither
secured mark. The % to shot Basqul!,
with Piggott up, rushed away in the lead,
and staying there lasted long enough to
beat Roy Carruthers out a head In hard
drive. Siegfried, hot tip, was third.
A surprise came in he final vant OF the
day. mile selling affair, with Deld OF
seven starting. Gene Laigh's recent pur-
chase was hashed up 3 TO favorite. but
developed as much liking for the slusny
going as a "yaller" dog does for rough on
rats, finishing absolutely last. The game
colt Walter ], Is TO chance in the bet
ting, took up the running from the start,
and stalling off the challenge of Callente,
the to 5 second choice, in the stretch,
beat Stemler's colt out half length in
1:46. Thorpe, as usual, got Monita home
in third place.

AUGUSTUS TRANSFER ROAD.
The New Ownership of the Property
just Disclosed.

Augusta. Ga, May 26.-There Is a local
railroad sensation in Augusta over the
announcement that the Augusta and sum
mervi!le railroad, recently purchased by
Henry Crawford, attorney for Thomas &
Ryan. IS now owned jointly by the South
ern railway, the Central of Georgia and
the Charleston and Western Carolina.
Ii will be remembered that the Augusta
and Summerville railroad was a local
transfer company, whose charter and
franchises expired in March, 1895. The
city declined to grant a new franchise to
use its streets. but the company got an
extension of charter from the secretary
OF state under the general law. In the lit
igation that followed, the supreme court
decided that the company's new charter
extended its corporate life. but could not
procure for it the rights in the streets of
Augusta without the city's consent.
The city in the meantime entered into
contract with the Charleston and West
ern Carolina railway, Southern railway,
and Central of Georgia, to carry on the
transfer business formerly conducted by
the Augusta and Summerville The next
fact that came TO life was that Henry
Crawford. attorney for Thomas & Ryan
was buying up Augusta and Summervile
railway stock, and to-day. in a commu-
nication TO the mayor MI Crawford noti-
hes him that the three railroads named
above, that contracted with the city. are
the joint owners of the Augusta and Sum
mervlle railroad. and that they
propose to carry out their con-
tract with the city through the
Augusta and Summerville road as their
common agent Further, ''in order to
fully effectuate this mode of operating the
connecting tracks and handling the local
and through transfers, it will be necessa-
ry for the city TO execute a formal con-
sent and license, authorizing the Augusta
and Summerville Railroad Company 20 be
allowed as and from March 90 1896. for
the full term of thirty years, to have the
right to maintain, operate with steam
power and enjoy all the tracks, and also
to lay down, maintain. operate and enjoy
all such other tracks IS are or may be au-
thorized to be laid under, and according
10 the said contract; but such license to
the Augusta and Summervlle railroad
not to operate in any way to relieve the
three railroad companies, parties to SAID
last named contract, from direct obliga-
ton TO the city to pay the annuity and to
perform all the covenants thereof"
While this petition sets out that other
railroads may enjoy these tracks and
transfer privileges, the fact that the
Southern, the Central and Thomas &
Ryan's road are all shown to be working
together in this matter, and Thomas &
Ryan are fighting the Georgia railroad
and the Louisville and Nashville, there il
a belief on the part of many that a coup
against the Georgia is being sought The
matter Will come before council, when IL
will be seen If the Augusta and Summer
Vile railroad charter and franchise which
were fought by the city, will be granted
now to its new owners.
