ILLNESS OF TEX RICHARD CAUSES DELAY
DANDELION RUNS
MILE IN 1873 3-5
AT SARATOGA.

SARATOGA. Aug. 14--One of the
best programmes of the meeting was
offered this afternoon at Saratoga. The
feature was the Delaware handicap, at
a mile, with Dandelion in at top
weight-120 pounds. The impost was
considered a trife too great for the
company. At the weights Iuquisitor
was made early favorite. while Kiame-
sha, JohnstOwn and Dandelion were
the others that attracted attention In
quisitor broke in front and made all
the early running. followed by kia-
mesha and Dandelion. Near the far
turn the latter moved up to Kiamesha.
The pair closed on Inquisitor. the three
racing head and head to the stretch,
where Inquisitor was shut of. Miller
then took Inquisitor to the outside,
and, coming on strongly forced Dande-
lion to drive to win by a length from
Inquisitor. which beat kiamesha a
head The time for the mile was
1885.
The great colt Oiseau. for which j.
H. Brady paid $50. 00o. out for the first
time since last year. was defeated by
Cary in the second race. Otseau has
been working sensationally in private
of late and appeared unbeatable in the
company he was up against today. He
was held at TO in the betting. He
seemed short in his work, however. and
was beaten length by Cary.
When the third race was called there
was an eager craining of necks TO get
a look at the Keene ally Pope Joan. by
Disguise, concerning which there has
been such glowing reports There was
an Immediate rush to the betting ring
and the young miss went to the post 2

asked of her and earned her brackets
in handsome style. She showed the way
to the wire to Paumonok and to Sir
William Johnson. The FIVE and a half

JOE CROW GETS NEW TRIAL
Ex-POstmRster, Legislator aud Fore
man of Grand Jury Has An
other Chance.

Judge Munger handed down his decision
in the United States district court Wedncs-
day morning, granting a new trial TO
Joseph Crow.
Former Postmaster Joseph Crow, en-
legislator and foreman of the federal grand
jury of November, 1905, was convicted at
the last term of the federal court of pro-
curing free transportation for certain menu
bers of that grand jury, on the allegation
that such transportation was procured for
the parties to influence their action in
finding mo bill'' against Rev. George G..
Ware in the Hooker county land fraud
and conspiracy cases.
Crows attorneys gave immediate Notice
of application for new trial. and The
hearing on this application was had be-
fore Judge MNnger last week. The argu-
ments for a new trial were based on the
admission of certain evidence during the
trial that was held by the defendants as
not germane to the case and upon the
construction that the jurors put upon the
instruction of the court, and upon tn.
further showing that new evidence not OBJ
tainable at the time OF the trial would put
a new phase on the case.

was that it pays to advertise in The Bee

last Saturday night. She feared the high

the Field club and the street car. A defect
