AMONG THE BIG BETToRS.
Plungers Had Hard Time Picking
Winners at Brighton.

John A. Drake had a hard time picking
the winners at Brighton yesterday. He
began by losing $4,000 on his high-priced
colt. Britisher, in the first race, his agents
taking to >. Then he dropped $1,000 on
Roehampton in the second race and wagered
$1,000 on his colt High Chancellor straight
in the third After that he cut his wagerS
down to a minimum. brakes turf associate,
A. 3. Hudson, parted with 5000, which
was placed on Linda Lee AT I to j in the

sumed by Britisher. Lucky Jack" McGin-
mis- had 81 900 straight and $1,000 for place
on his colt Austin Allen, who won this
event at to l and to ). which, following
his $4,000 coup with Blue Coat on Thurs
day, fattened Jacks bank roll immensely.
Roehamptons defeat put nearly all of the
big players up in the air. George Wheelock
bet 81 800 on the Bathampton horse, Frank
Lauterman lost $1,000 on him, Bookmaker
Harris burned up 800 and Joe Yeager was
caught for $4,000 But Yeager had a
saver on Glsten at q to l. who won with
the plunger's jockey, Hildebrand, in the
saddle. Yeager made his biggest bet on
James V. in the third race. The Farandale
colt, recently purchased from NJ. Murphy
by L. Il. De Amman, opened at to l. and
Yeager's commissioners went from book to

wanted. 1t was said that Yeager got down

many cases the chalkers rubbing ii off
their states altogether. ieager lost 5000
on Cincinnatus in the fifth race and did not

BY Chief Justice Morris of the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia The
college authorities, by President Jerome
Deugherty, g. j., turned the matter over
to their attorneys. Messrs. Hamilton and

trfct Commissioners to combat the theory
laid down by Mr.. Cragn and his petition

ton attorney the Commissioners said they
were powerless. The matter drifted along

the college. as also did Justices Gould and
Clabaugh. but Mr.. Cragin would not move
one jot or little from his position. and the
matter was held in allegiance awaiting the
next move. On Friday Mr.. Cragin made
his play by sending word to President
Daugherty that unless he moved his club
house off the street he would go law
and by an injunction force him to do so.

Daugherty Immediately gave orders that

NEW LONG BRIDGE.
Work Of Erection Nearly Half Com.
pleted.

The work of putting together the massive
steel work of the new railway bridge on the
Potomac to replace the old wooden Long
bridge is now more than half done and
within the next month or six weeks will be
completed. During the past week another
span has been completed on that part of
the bridge on the Washington side of the
draw and the first span the Virginia
end is nearly finished. The workmen are
now employed in laying the bottom timbers
for the second span from the Virginia end
of the bridge and are pushing the work
rapidly along. AS the work now stands
six of the seven spans at the Washington
end of the bridge are practically completed
and one span of the four between the Vir-
ginia end of the bridge is about done and
work has been started on the second span.
There now remains to be finished three
whole spans and part of another one. The
big draw was swung yesterday by the hand
levers on the bridge but 1t is stated that
steam has not yet been made in the boilers
of the draw shifting machinery.
Work has also progressed quite rapidly
on the approaches both from the Virginia
and Washington ends of the bridge. On the
Virginia side the new trestle work on which
the trains will run to reach the bridge level
has almost reached the level of the ground
and in a few days will be ready for the
rails.
This trestIe will be filled in with earth.
although it is built in the most substantial
manner and is wide enough for the two
tracks The trestle work at the Washing
ton end of the bridge across the Potomac
Park has been extended over hundred feet
in the past week and the material taken
from the excavations in the southeast sec
ton of the city is being used to form the
high embankment on which the trains will
run. The work on the two stone piers at
the north end of the park Is being pushed
but as yet there is no sign of them above
the ground These piers, 1t is stated, will
be used by the overhead structure canning
across the harbor into the city.
