Delhi were for Ostrich, partly for bis pink

But even If they couldn't bet they had
some compensation. Hannah Elias was
there, she who took some hundreds Of thou

1t per the courts. She arrived In hand
some landau and took seat In the grand
stand just opposite the finish, She bad on
q dress OF blue wolfe and hat that was
described by those about her as very grand.
AS soon as the word spread that Hannah
Elias was near there was great rubbering,
which lasted all the afternoon. The negroes
didn't appear to notice that she was q target.
Other objects OF attention were Lillian
Russell, who sat. statuesQue, In q box, and
Truly Shattuok, who wandered about the
lawn. Both had bets on Ivan the Terrible
in the first race, remembering that he was
named after ono Of Richard Mansfelds

WATERLOO FOR FIRST WATER.
August BelmOnt's WOolWich Beats Him in
the Expectation Stakes.

Next to Delhi's triumph the most sensa-
tional event Of the day was the unexpected
defeat OF Newton Bennington's hitherto
invincble colt First Water, by Watercress-
Sweet, in the rich Expectation Stakes for
two-year -olds at five furlongs.
If ever a race looked to be a sure thing
for favorite this event was the one Hav-
ing beaten all corners In his previous starts,
First Water, though he took up 125 pounds
and gave ten pounds to each Of his COM
petitors, was thought to have this rich
turf prize completely at his mercy.
Though seven youngsters met him in
the struggle for riches and glory, the lowest
price against any Of them was 10 to 1, while
First Water. who had opened at to s. closed

NETS RULED TIE NETTING RING
Only Organization Bookmakers Occupy
the Front Line.

For some mysterious reason not In &C.
cordance with the policy OF the track man
ayers which held sway at Belmont Park,
the members of the Metropolitan Turf As
sociation which, it was understood, would
not be reoo gnized in future in any ca pa city,
occupied the entire front line in the betting
ring.
There we're eighty-nine Nets sitting in
comfortable high back chairs half hour
before the first race was run. Their pres
ence completely filed the space allotted to
the front liners, SO that the five non -mem-
bers who were placed on equal terms with
the Nets at Belmont Park were compelled
to return to their former positions in the
back line although they protested in vain.
The Nets at no time during the Belmont
Park meeting we're able to meet the require
ments Of the track owners, that eighty books
should be in the front line, but this time
thew exceeded the number and incidentally
more than dozen members who had not
booked for some time made their appearance
ready for business. In this lot were C. M.
Nelson, Fred Brewer. Robert Wynn, c. f.
White, j. H. Berk, Moe Dinkelspiel, D, j.
Hutchinson. N. P. Waldman, D.. H. Bald
win, Alec Ullman, Joe Murphy, NJ. G. Lewis
and Bill Jackman.
AS no bookmakers paid cent for the
so-called privileges for which the
admission price was raised. the question
was naturally asked by many Interested
In the situation, Why are the Nets per-
mitted to have all the front line positions

RECEIPTS NEARLY $4,000,
More Than ~ 900 Persons Pay the In.
creased Hates OF Admission.

Just before the Brooklyn Handicap was
run a man associated with the Jockey Club
and the various racing associations was
asked for an estimate OF the attendance.
He said that according to good authority,
more than l2,0Oo persons including 1000
women had paid admission to the grand
stand while 5000 persons had patronizsd
the field.
On this basis 1900 men gave up a total
Of $4,000 at So a head, 1000 women paid
$1,000 at $3.50 a piece, while $4,000 was
garnered in the field making a total Of
$4,000 in gross receipts. With 81, 100 for
programs at ten cents O piece, the Brooklyn
Jockey Club took from the public 1t Is
believed, about $50, 900.
With this suspicious beginning, under
the new regime, the track officials, how
ever, were not satisfied that the present
scale Of prices would prove a success and
until the daily. attendance settles down TO
normal figures final judgment cannot be
passed. The crowd was smaller than that
Of last year, when It was estimated that
5000 persons wcre on hand.

ring was declared an open ono ana naVo

Nobody would say whet her the Brooklyn
Jockey Club WAS responsible Tor thn uh-
looked for turn In Affairs. But from the
way the Nets looked and talked one
would draw the inference that they nao
reached some sort Of an underst AMONG
with somebody by which their so,oaled
rights would be respected, even thougn
they had not paid he usual fees.
Al matters stood tho ring could not pc

back line who wanted to do business IN

could not enjoy that privilege. 10 an
outsider it would seem az II there 10 some
difference OF opinion among the powers
that be az to tho treatment to BE- accorded
to the Met ropolitan Turf Association which
may lead to some interesting deveop-
ments.
In adeiit ion to the eight nine Nets there
were sevent y-one layers In the back hne
and twenty-six standups, making iso
books in the big ring with 100 IN the
field. or tot al Of 2e2 layers within the en-
closure.

DeIacy and other enemies Of racing went

TO Sell
ITS CAFE

New York, Sept 5.--President Paul
Morton OF the Equitable Life Assurance
society announced yesterday that ne in
tends to divorce the Equitable from the
Cafe Savarin as soon as possible.
The society has run the restaurant and
bar for a good many years, in fact ever
since the Savarin company was incor-
porated, and the relations between the
two have at times been the basis OF wide
spread criticism among persons who OBJ
Jected TO a life insurance company being
engaged In selling intoxicating drinks.
Here is President Morton's statement.
There Is nothing new or sensational
about the Cafe Savarin. There has been
no change In it's relation 20 the Equitable
society, which now owns and operates H..
do not like the idea OF the society being
In the restaurant business, but IL is a con-
dillon that / found, and we will nave
TO continue In the business until / can
make other arrangements.
1T will be my effort TO get the society
out OF the business, although In lieu OF
rent the Cafe savarin is now netting the
society profits which approximate what
the rent ought 10 be.
mo OFFICER, director or empIoye OF the
society Is interested I'm any way in the
profits Of the cafe"
The statement that none OF the So
ciety's officers or directors receives any
profit from the cafe was received by
many with surprise. as It was generally
supposed that several OF the directors
comprising the old regime were stock
holders In the company. It's directors were
at the beginning Of the year Henry G..
Deming. Thomas ID. Jordan, George v.
Turner and Daniel N. Junk.
Mr.. Deming is a director OF the Equit-
sble and president or the Mercantile
Trust company. Mr.. JORDAN was comp
troller OF the society until President Nor
ton dismissed him. because he refused 10
answer questions in regard TO the motor
ious $6S5,0oo blind loan. OF which he was
one OF the trustees. Turner is the Mercan-
tile Trust company clerk who served as
the figurehead in the Turner loan trans.
action, in which the Western National
bank, through the efforts OF Henry b.
Hyde. Louis Fitzgerald and Others. got
more than $500 900 from the trust company
on security which the Federal banking
authorities had refused 10 allow as an
asset.
Junk has a desk in the cashiers DEPART
ment or the Equitable, but his time for
the last three or four years has been de-
voted largely 10 managing the cafe.
