The Transcript makes some re-
marks about FL. A. Riders political
strength. Yes: it does take great
bravery and popularity to be re-
publican candidate in district that
has around 500 republican majority.
Didn't Hank say Re was gong to
run against Meyer for treasurer?
That was understood, but evidently
something scared Hank off the
track. Furthermore, there are peo.
ple in BraiDerd, as we'll as in Lit, le
Falls, who can tell Brother Fuller
why the candidacy of Rider for the
senate would never weigh a moment
with Vasaly if the latter desired to
run. We have no inclination to
cloud Bre'r Fullel's jubilation, but it
does make us smile to think how
Fuller, Ferris and Buckman, and
cohorts, sweat blood for months in
agony over the possibility OF Vasaly
being a candidate for the senate
We will publish some history after

Dr.. Grissom having been an emeritus

he was exceedingly popular with all his
neighbors and looked upon as the last

The only cause that can be assigned for
his having taken his own lie Is that he

Men Interested IN the Games.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-An American
Monte Carlo" at Saratoga, with Lord
RossIyn. the famous System player'
of England. as the CHEZ drawing-card
and advertising agent, is said to be the
ambition Of q new and powerful syndI-
cate of gam5iers who propose to oper-
ate at the Spa this summer in opposi-
ton to Richard Garfield and the Arts
tocracy OF Gamblers" who for decades
have had full sway at the famous
springs.
The new gambling syndicate has been
quick to grasp the significance Of the
ne American Newmarket heath"
tina, is the ambition of ". c. Whitney
and his associates to establish at Sara

gamb. ers realize that there is to be &

mer and an attendance Of wealth and
fashion unprecedented IN its history

planter and sporting man, the "Caufleld

which figured in the tragic suicide CT

has been reAtted and is now ready for

Brighton on Saturday
However. his friends stOutly deny IL.
though admitting his almost constant
presence on the scene at Saratoga for
the last six weeks.
The crusade against gambling at Long

ira inducement to the syndicate TO

long kept alive and 1ourishing the big
Long Island clubs is expected TO mi

this patronage Il IS said, has already

HARRIBS SAYS COLONEL
MAY IS INCOMPETENT
National Guard Officer De-
posed for This Reason.
No Further Action in the Near Future
Likely by Either Party in the
Squabble

There is but little likelihood Of any
early action being taken by Col. Henry
May. commanding the First Regiment,
D C " G.. in his difficulty with Brig.
Gen George Il. Harries, which resulted
from the colonel Of the FIRST Regiment
being superseded in command Of the or
ganization in the field maneuvers Sat
uTday morning by Lieut.. Col. Burton R.
Ross.
Colonel May was granted five months
leave Of absence late Friday night after
he had been informed by Colonel Ross
that he was not to command the attack
ing force and he left Camp Ordway early
Saturday morning.
General Harries has expressed him
sell as being much dissatisfied with
Colonel May = handling OF the regiment
and has openly stated that the colonel
Of the First Regiment is not competent
10 command and never has been.
year or two ago he made az effort
to have his subordinate discharged from
the service, but the Judge Advocate
General Of the Army decided that he had
not The authority Since that time the
relations Of the two officers have not
been the most cordial Il was hopcd
however by those who have the inter
ests Of the District National Guard at
heart that the trouble would not again
crop out
Colonel May left for New York yester-
day and viii probably not return 10
Washington until late in the fall. No
charges have been lodged against him By
the commanding general and unless this
IS done he will have but little oppor-
tunlty to retaliate against the latter.
Oniess further action Is taken by Gen
