There was an enormous crowd at
the race course Sunday when the
racing began. 1t was crowd typical
Of Partisan life.
The program comprised six races
and the first two passed OF without

After several hours of fighting the
crowd was eventually dispersed, but
not until after many heads had been
broken.
Sixty arrests were made and the

The scene when the crowd sacked the

A CLIQUE coMsATs KAISER.
Hoheniohe Memoirs Intended to Sow
Discomfort.

Hohenlohe Memoirs Intended to Sow
Discomfort.
Germany is beginning to understand
the kaiser's fury at the publication OF
the "Hohenlohe memoirs" The pub
lie was at first surprised at the mon
arch's anger, taking the view that the
work reflected decided credit on him.
The appearance Of further details of
Wilhelms dealings with Bismarck and
especially the quotation of his threat
10 imprlson the Iron Chancellor" in
the fortress of Spandau, has wrought
wonderful change in the trend OF
thought. Political experts are begin
ming to conjecture that the real pur-
pose of the publication OF objection
able chapters in the fatherland's in
most history is to undermine the
Aaiser's influence and put an end to
the autocracy. On no other ground
can the younger Hohenlohes action be
explained. The incident may be truly
described as the sensation of the dec
ade in Germany.
1t has been an open secret in court
circles for some time that the kaiser
IS being combated by a powerful po-
litical clique. 1t includes brilliant
array Of princes, grand dukes, gen
erals, admirals and editors, who, work
ng together, have managed to sow
he seeds of discomfort in all classes
with Wilhelm's methods of govern
ment. 1t is said that the kaiser had
hese "pessimists" in mind when, in
his Breslau speech in September, he
advised them to get out and stay out
IF Germany.
