The Detroit and New Orleans and several
small boats were banging away an morn

1t was remarked the other day that tha

TO leave the batteries was not seen by
any one; today We learned that il had
gone home. 1t was a seven-inch and killed
one man and wounded eight.
June 25-Last night we left the blockade

AT LONG BRANCH.
Horse Racing Failure So Far and
Shooting Watches Will lie Tried.

speela! Correspondence OF The Evening star
LONG BRANCH. n. j., July 16 1895.
Rumors that racing was to be revived at
Monmouth Park race track created much
excitement at this resort this week. Years
ago the hotel proprietors depended very
largely upon the summer races for their
annual income, and when the New Jersey
( state legislature passed law prohibiting
| betting at the tracks. which practically was
the death blow TO horse racing in the STATE.
not only Long Branch, but many OF the
| resorts on the northern shore suffered very
keenly on account of the absence of the
big crowd that was attracted by the snort,
Inc season following the enactment of this
law was a very poor one, and there is no
DOUBT but that many dollars were lost by
lhe motel proprietors and property owners,
and' While the summer people who how
patTonlZe the shore do not expect racing,
there is not the slightest doubt but that
the population would increase 500 per cent
III the races were to he started again. Ii is
very doubtful. however if Long Branch
VIII see racing for several years to come.
The talk this week started when Phil. DAILY
gave series of running races I'm Elkwood
Park, where he has fine mile track. He
put the place In excellent condition and
then paid the expenses OF about fifteen
good horses from Sheepshead Bay TO the
shore and back besides Offering purses of
from $500 to $500. The events were given
very SUCCESSFULLY but the attendance was
so small that the bare expenses were not
even obtained from the gate receipts. On
the other hand, Mr.. DAILY figures that he
lost close to 81 800 on the transaction. Mr..
DAILY made the experiment, thinking that
there might be number OF people who
would support him in the effort to bring
the horses back but financially IL proved a
failure. He will now devote his attention
TO the shooting matches at the park. and
has arranged a fine program for every
Wednesday and SATURDAY. thrOIlghOtIf the
season.
Nearly every woman in the cottage set
tiement at Elberon is deveting considerable
of her time in Red Cross work this season.
A branch of the society has been Crgan-
lied there, and the first meeting was held
this week at the Elberon Hotel Ex-Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison, who is there for
the month of July, presided. The follow
ing ladies were elected as members Of the
executive committee: Mrs. Thomas T. KIM
ney, Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, Mrs II. c.
Fahnestock, Mrs. Robert Maclay, Mrs. Will
liam ID. Guthrie, Mrs. Charles 7. Cook and
Mrs. Andrew H. Smith. Miss BTady'o OF Al
bany and Miss Jordan of New York Gere
elected secretaries, and Mrs William ID.
Guthrie treasurer.
A sewing class has been organized by
Mrs Andrew II. Smith. who was elected
chairman of the needle work commit; e,
ard many of the young women now spend
an hour two every day making Inder-
clothing, night shirts, sheets, towels and
pillow cases for the soldiers. After tho
meeting on Tuesday nearly $1,000 was sub
sc soribed. The money will be spent largely
in sending trained nurses to the field.

papers from his pockets and threw them
from him so that they might be picked up
and saved.
