VOSBURGH IS A FOOL,
SAYS LOUIS Y. BELL
Millionaire THURMAN De-
nOunceS Handicapped.
STEWARDS TO SETTLE CASE
THURMAN Believes His Horses Have Been
Unjustly 0verweighted by Jockey
Club Official.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-'Tn the course
Of my business career, Mr.. vosburgh, I
have found two classes Of men-honest
men and fools. After due consideration
have come TO the conclusion that you
are a fool"
Shaking with suppressed excitement
and his voice trembling with passion,
Louis V. Bell. the millionaire broker and
horseman, the man who sold Hermis
to E. R. Thomas for 10000. walked up
to w. S. Vosburgh. the official handicap
per Of the Jockey Club. and denounced
him in a fierce tone in the words quoted.
at the Aqueduct race track yesterday.
Bells words caused great excitement
and dismay among the clubhouse men,
bers, among whom were several mem
bers Of the Jockey Club.
Scene in Clubhouse.
This little scene in the clubhouse
dining room was the elimination OF an
other scene in which bitter words We're
addressed to ]. A Bradford, a Jockey
Club steward, against Vosburgh by Bell
earlier in the day. Bell smarting under
wrongs that he fancied had been in
fiicted on him by Vosburgh. through big
assignments of weights on his race
horses, told Bradford that the handicap
per was not fair. and was partial in his
work. He cited several cases in which
he said he had been unjustly treated.
and told Mr.. Bradford that the time
had come when ne could no longer win
race because Of Vosburgh's allot-
ments of weights. The one-man system
Of handicapping was not satisfactory.
he said. and there should be a board OF
handieappers. as in England.
Soon after the first arraignment Of
Vosburgh and his methods Mr. Bell
walked away. Vosburgh heard Of Bells
attack, and he walked up to Bradford
and said that he felt as II he should
bring charges against Mr.. Bell before
the stewards 1t was while Vosburgh
was addressing Bradford that Bell
walked up to him and the second scene
took place.
Bell Is Angry.
Bel was very angry and said many
things to Vosburgh, the purport Of which
was that he had been unjust in his
treatment Of his horses IN the weights
simply because the horses belonged 70
, him. Vosburgh said very little, but
what he did say was a denial of the
charges. The loud words Of Bell caused
a small crowd to gather round the
men. After a few more words they
separated, and members Of the Jockey
Club took each one aside and coun-
seled fOrbearance.
Later In the afternoon Phil Dwyer,
president of the Brooklyn Jockey Club
and one Of the most practical turfmen
in the country. said that Vosburgh
would bring charges Of verbal assault
against Bell TO the Jockey Club
stewards.

LOCAL HUNTSHEN
HAVE GOOD SPORT
Many Good Bags Are Sc
cured on Opening Day.
RABBITS ARE PLENTIFUL
Many Bunnies and Ducks Slaughtered,
But Partridges Are Scarcer
Than Usual.

The slaughter of Dummies and quail
the main prey Of the field gunner, be-
gan yesterday for the first time since
last winter. as the season opened in
the District of Columbia and most of
the counties of Maryland and Virginia.
Gunners were fortunate Much more
game was bagged than expected Rab-
bits thsre We're in town a-plenty last
night, and the majority of the nimrods
were jubilant over their success. Her
mann Mertz killed eight cotton-tails in
Montgomery county, and Merrill lib
bets and Joseph Willard bagged ten
rabbits and eight parTidges in St.
Mary. Nearly all the huntsmen who
tried their luck succeeded in bagging at
least one rabbit.
Quail Are Scarce,
Quait are not so plentiful, and no large
bags G them were brought to town,
but rs heir scarcity vas known to the
better part of the hlgltsmen, they were
not disappointed.
In Prince George county residents re-
port rabbits to abound in greater num-
bers than for the pas five years. but
the season does not open there untn
November 10. so for the present gunners
will have to let them 60 unmolested.

ANY ducks. too. we're brought to

man succeeded in shooting i've. three Of
them blue-wings and the others mall
laris. Fred Smith used his fowling-
piece to good effect, also. and bagged
two canvasbaclZs and two snipe More
ducks were seen yesterday than for
some time past, and the prediction Of
experienced gunners that there would
soon be a great increase in the supply
Of this species OF the feathered gentry
seems to have been realized.
It Is reported the slaughter Of ducks
on the SUsquehanna Flats. in Mary

a point Of accessibility, these are prob
