10 get by the watchers When the time
came TO post the names Of horses and
Jockeys and the betting odds for the first
race there were many nxiou inquiries
as to why they did not appear promptly.
The poolroom managers told their patrons
that they feared trouble, but they expected
to get the usual news In time. AS 2:So
O'Clock approached the bettors became
more FESTIVE and the poolroom managers
began to put on long faces.
Hurry up those odds. was the frequent
demand made.
The odds didn't come, and practically
n every poolroom In tow no money was
wagered on the race. A few Of the rooms
took what were really handbook wagers,
agreeing to pay, as the handDooKs 90, on
the newspaper odds printed on the morning
after the race. The second race came
and the patrons Of the rooms became more
anxious. Most Of them stayed on, hoping
there would be a change, For the third
race the odds came just before the time
for the race to be run, but, the names OF the
Jockeys were missing and all information
as to the scratches in the race. For the
fourth race sufficient informal ion came a
few minutes before the time limit was up
for the race to be run to take a few bets.
As for the rest OF the day no information
sufficient for a satisfactory poolroom bust
nesc came, and the result was that 80 FAR
as betting on the Aqueduct races was con-
cerned none OF the rooms did more than a
meagre trade. The bettors, practically
to a man, declared that If the conditions
did not improve il would be useless to try
to bet there any more.
At tire Western Union general office all
the officials professsd to know nothing
about the situation. One Of them said:
"We want the public to understand that
the Western Union is absolutely out of the
racing information business, and to-day's
results will show it. WHAT'S going on at the
tracks we do not know, All we do know
is hat We have no Offices there and no
employees thsre,"
The Rev. Dr.. Slicer. largely through
whose efforts the tT7;c" was made by which
the Cassidy-Lansing anti-racing betting
bill was smothered in committee. was much
pleased over the result of the day. He kept
informed as to what was going on in the
pcolrooms during the afternoon, and just
before @ o clock last night he SAID;
The Jockey Club has kept ite promises
to US, just as J expected it would. If the
poolrooms continue business il is up to the
Mayor and Police Commissioner to take
cognizance Of them. They are outlaws
OF themselves. II lhev continue TO exist
and the Mayor and Police Commissioner
do not endeayor to stamp them out. after
what has been accomplished by the Jockey
Club. it will be for those officials to make
explanation to the people. Tn existence of
poolrooms in this city will then be charge
able to certain officials, and they must
bear the responsibility of it"

SACHEMS IN EVENING DRESS.
Stop 10 Vote With Murphy nj the Wigwam
Before Dining with Mcclellan.

As luck would rave it, the annual meeting
of tho Tammany Society and the Jefferson
day dinner Of the Democratic Club fell on
the same night. Mr.. Murphy took pains
to let it be known that for once in a while
he would be at the meeting Of the Tam
: many Society. Some of the leaders have
been on tenter hooks for some days past
as 70 which would be the wiser course to
take, to go to the dinner with Mcclellan or
to follow Murphy to the meeting of the
society.
The larger number of them solved the
difficulty by attending both functions.
Last night was the election of sachems.
The 0olls opened at I O'Clock, and the ma
iority of the leaders found it an easy task
TO be on hand at Tammany Hall in evening
dress as soon as the polls were opened and
then to skip up to the Waldorf-Astoria to
the dinner.

SAYS BANKER FRIEND
WILL NOT MARRY Her
Miss V. Houston Secures Search
Warrant to Recover a Trunk
Containing Her Trousseau.


Miss V. Houston obtained search
warrant from Police Judge Mogan yes
terday to recover possession of trunk
which belongs to her and she alleges
is stored at 1920 Fillmore street AS
a matter Of form she swore to war
rant for the arrest of Charles Ben
nett, who she says is a banker on a
charge Of grand larceny. She does
not want to prosecute Bennett. but
needs her trunk badly.
Miss Houston said she had been en-
ployed as housekeeper by Bennett
who lived at 732 Shotwell street. She
pleased him so much that he told her
heicould not do without her and would
make her his wife. 1t was agreed
that they go to Los Angeles to get
married and she purchased her trosseau
and packed ii In her trunk.
At that critical time she says Ben
nett became cold in his manner toward
her and during her absence left the
house on Shotwell street, taking her
trunk with him. She finally located
the trunk at 1920 Fillmore street. She
says she made a, demand upon Ben
nett for the trunk. which was refused
She also asked him why he would not
marry her and he repudiatcd the en-
gagement and refused to have anything
more to do with her
