There was considerable excitement on the
ground Wednesday morning caused by the
arrest of one of the fakirS at about 11.3O,
for cheating farmer out of S125. He was
taken by State Detective Geaghan, but was
released upon refunding the money. The
affair resulted in the closing up of all the
money games, thus throwing about 100 men
out of ''employment." There were about
10 of these stands, but in five minutes they
were all out OF business

heat of the 2.2o class the horse Hiram

siderable excitement for a few moments,
and the track was crowded with people
