After Lizzie Kelly won the steeplechase at
New Orleans yesterday afternoon by eight
lengths the stewards declared all bets of
and decided 1t no race. The officials had
evidence of fraud before the race and their
decision was rendered accordingly. The as

ported. Lizzie Kelly went to the front
early, and as none Of the jockeys on the
other horses made an effort to catch her she
won alone.
All the jockeys were called up after the
race and questioned. The stewards will
probably suspend several jockeys and own
ers when further testimony Is taken.
Every favorite was beaten. Four horses
finished short heads apart for the handicap.

Easterns Defeat COrcOrans by ALL
Around Fast Play.
The Eastern Athletic Club defeated the
Corcoran Cadet Corps last night In an ex-
citing game of basket ball at the Wash
ington Light Infantry Armory. The score
was 13 to 8.
The Corcorans had the game we'll in hand
at the close of the first half and had they
continued as well in the next half the
score would probably have been different.
As 1t was the Easterns got down to hard
work in the last half and put up the battle
of their lives, which resulted in a victory.
The fast playing of the Corcorans was a
feature of the game, while the Easterns'
excellent field work and goal throwing
from all points in the field won the game.

The fact that Lakewood, N. J., escaped
the snow of Sunday night is an added in
dication of the success Of the open tourna-
ment that began on the Country Club links
this morning. The course is comparatively
clear, except for occasional patches of
snow, and no difficulty will be experienced
in running OFF the qualifying round. The
ground has been sanded near the putting
greens to insure a safe approach for the
balls, and the days play should bring out
capital scores. On Saturday there is to

My tears found ample justification,
Dor tho men soon turned their attention
90 the horse, and two rose and approach
ed him. / looked upon him as one i'm
pounded, and he alone was to blame,
for he should have known better. One
of the men made wide circuit and
came up carefully behind, while the
other approached with eqna, caution
from the front, whistling in a soft and
coaxing way and holding out his hand.
Evidently the men appreciated the value
Of a good horse, and no doubt they had
stolen enough from patriot farmers to
have experience. Old Put never raised
his head to look at them, but continued
his hunt for blades of grass. He certain
ly heard their approaching footsteps, and
was convinced now that his dotage
was really at hand.
i thought you said he was the most
Intelligent of us three, !" said the girl
ironically. "and here he is, gone to sleep
and letting himself be taken, to be used
perhaps as common cart horse.
Her words were an insult to us both,
Old Put and me, but knew no timely
reply, and endured them in silence.
The man in front, emboldened by Old
Puts gentleness, approached more rap
idly and was soon within Is feet Of the
horse. Old Put raised his head, and
looking at the man a moment lowered
1t and went on nipping the grass
The man holding out his hand stepped
forward and seized Old Put by the neck
The horse, with neigh that was human
in its anger, turned and bit deep into his
shoulder. A scream, wilder, more fear
full than any have ever heard before or
since, rose from the mans throat as the
horse reared high in the air and snote
him to the earsh with his fore feet. The
girl turned her eyes away in horror as
the man was crushed to pulp beneath
the fierce beat of the steel shod hoofs,
time for but one cry being given to
him, but i kept mine at the crevice,
though I will confess that the blood
was rather chilly torrent in my veins
The other man, the one behind, faced
about and fed when he saw the death
OF his comrads, and the one look that I
had of him showed fright to the mar
row. The horse, raising his head, trot-
ted away over the hill The moonlight
fell upon him there in distorted rays
and enlarged him into a gigantic figure
In the gray light he looked like some
phantom horse, q wild creature that
brought death.
The band, recovering from the mo-
mentary paralysis caused by the sudden
acquaintance of their eomrade with
death, snatched out their pistols and
fred at the horse as they would have
fired at a man in his place, but their
aim was wild, for the horse gave no
sign of a bullet, trotting steadily on,
his figure growing larger and more
threatening in the exaggerating rays of
the moonlight, until he disappeared be-
yond the swell of the earth. The thing
that had been living lay in the dead
grass, and was glad that it was hid
den almost by some rocks and the roll
of the earth.
He is gone, Julia. . said. and

don't think those men will try to take

my horse again. =
Laughed little, with rather forced
gayety, for the influence of the sudden
tragedy was still upon me. Yet was
glad that Old Put had redeemed him
self SO conclusively from the charge Of
incaution and dotage, which I would
never again bring against him, even
should they come to be true in the
course of the years.
The girl came back to the crevice, and
we watched the British for some min
utes After the hasty discharge of the
pistols they returned to the fire, making
no movement either to pursue Old Put
or to remove the body of their dead
comrade. They would have liked we'll
enough to obtain good horse, but they
were not going to bother about such
trife as dead man.
DO you think they will attack us?''
asked the girl
Well, no; not yet, at least, . re-
piled. "The advantages of the defense
are too great, and these men are mere
raiders and robbers. They are not going
into dangerous venture unless the
chances are on their side. Perhaps they
think we will become frightened and
surrender tomorrow. .

THOUSANDS OF JAPANESE

said yesterday: The class Of men

Professor KoebeIs Returns From
Tour on Maui and
Hawaii.

Prof. a. Koebele. the government en-
torologist. returned yesterday morning
after a months study and tour of inves-
tigation on the Islands Of Maui and Ila-
wait,
The most important result Of the trip
is Prof. Koebele's favorable report on the
forests of Hawaii. He says that he IS
surprised and gratified at the good con
dition of the burned district, vegetation
is springing up again. and the permanent
damage from the destructive fires win
not be very great.
Entomoiogist KoebeIe first went to
Maui at Lahaina, and then made a tour
of the sugar and coffee plantations. The
cane-borer was thoroughly investigated
ana the result OF It will be given In the
report to Commissioner Wray Taylor, TO
be made IN d few days.
After a week on Maui. Mr. koebele
went 10 Hawaii, visiting first the kohaia
district. Then he went on to Waimea
and proceeded through TO Hilo He then
proceeded to Puma, and visited Olaa,
went to the Volcano House, and pro
ceeded on TO the hau and kona dis
tricts. AIr. koebele saw the Buchhoitz
place, and was delighted with the var!-
cites Of vegetation growing there
He also spent some time with Dr. RUS
sci. and visited also Longs truck farm
in Wa;mea. He reports that on the four
teen acres enough vegetables are being
grown to supply large number OF peo-
pie, and that Mr. Long has undoubtedly
solved the small farmer problem in that
locality.
Prof. Koebele gave considerable atteR-
uon TO the insect blight affecting veEe-
tation on the other Islands. and is hope
ful that the known remedies VIII coun-
