RACING AND GAMBLING.
Gambling the Curse of Racing, Rac-
 ing the Cause of Gambling.

The interest in horse racing is felt l by great variety of people, while the practice is as old as civilization. i It has always been regarded prim- arily as a sport, and it is generally so looked upon to-day But in New York the laws that have been enacted to regulate it put the question of sport in the background, and declare that | it's encouragement is flor the purpose
 of raising and breeding and improv- | ing the breed of horses" This quota ton is taken from the first section of chapter 570 of the laws of 1895.
 This statute is popularly known as
 the Percy Gray law, and it estab- fishes State racing commission and regulates the methods of race meet ings within the State. By this law, and under the decisionsI of the courts Interpreting it, gambling, though dis tnctly forbidden, is made permissive. Without such a legal paradox there could be no bookmaking on the race courses; without bookmaking on the race courses; without boolSmaking, which enables those who attend the races to bet on the results. the breed- CT of horses, the owners of racing
 stables and the proprietors of race
 courses are all agreed that the sport,
 as conducted at present and for
 many years past, could not exist.
 Granting this fact, the easy con-
 clusion is that horse racing is con-
 ducted for the sake of gambling, and
 that the horses are used merely as
 part of the gambling machinery-as
 roulette wheel, for instance. The
 daily newspapers, which give columns
 and pages day in and day out to the
 reports of the races, strengthen this
 easy conclusion Much more space is
 given and much more emphasis laid
 upon the doings of the "betting ring
 than upon the performance of the
 horses that furnish the sport. The
 reporters, with great industry and immense exaggeration, tell of the
 great wagers won and lost; and the
 conversion of 8 "shoe-string into
 bank roll'' is evidently regarded as a
 greater achievement than breeding or
 training a stanch race horse or riding
 it to a well-earned victory.

STOP IMPROVEMENTS
Connecticut Company Curtails Work
 Because of Tight Money.

The Connecticut company has is- sued an order curtailing consider able amount of the improvement work contemplated throughout the state, owing, it is said. to the tight money conditions. This order was is- sued after the directors and managing officers had held a conference and de- cided that it would be expedient to wait some time until tue financial stress has lifted
 No particular Improvements were named in the order, this being left to the discretion of the engineering de- partment Several stretches of double tracking up the state and the erection of certain bridges is the work said to be held up. The work in this city, such as double tracking State street, will not be cuPtailed or delayed, as this is regarded imperative by the company.

BOYS WE'RE SAFE AT HOME.
Twas Only Case of Homesick-
 ness.


 New Britain, Sept 4.-Chief w. J. Rawlings got telephone inquiry yes terday afternoon from the New Haven police in regard to Louis Lyman. aged seventeen, and John Wenz, aged tlf- teen years, two New Britain lads who had disappeared from Haycock Point, Indian Neck. It seems the boys went to the shore cottage of E. E. Jenks of New Haven, the last of last week and hired room for over Labor day. Sunday they cleared out, leaving all their things behind, and they never came back. Fears were entertained the boys might have been drowned, and MT. Jenks notified the New Ha- ven authorities They asked the chief to look the boys up. He sent Detec- tive Officer Bamforth over on Fair view street to the Wenz boys home. The officer found that both boys had come home all right They became homesick and quit the shore. Boy fashion they did not think to notify their landlord.

"sHY HOUSE MAIDS"
Servant Problem in This City is
 Acute.

A local item of last night stated that Elm City maids are shy" This was startling information, but investi- gation showed up the fact that the maid servants are shy in the sense of scarce.
 The employment agencies here say that the demand for them exceeds the supply and those who are obtainable want high wages. Most of them have been working down at the shore re- sorts, or in similar employment, where the tips received built up salary greater than in situations where housework is the job
 Besides the usual number of nights off for private enjoyment and the care free life, the house girls here receive from $4 to $5 per week with board.
 This situation is no worse than else- where, but it is regarded as acute, with no signs of a better condition

HORSLEY IN CANADA.
Gambler and Wife Deserter, and
Looked Upon zcith Suspicion.
IBy Telegraph to The tribune. J

Toronto Ont June 6.-Alfred Horsley, who
lately has assumed the name of Harry Orcharu'
has turned out to be the black sheep OF a re-
spectacle family-the Horsleys-who hVed IN
quiet hamlet named Wooler. less than hum
dred miles east of this city. Like many another
-four corners" the inhabitants spent their even
ings in card playing. a pastime for which Alfred
Horsley developed marvellous TASTE lie soon
became known as a winner. the game OF chance
in his case soon assocating with 1t the gambling
spirit.
However he necessarily turned his attention
to some form of occupation. and Wooler Is
situated in one of the best dairy districts in the
neighborhood. he naturally became a cheese
maker working at Wooler and later at Brighton
eight miles south. While in the latter factory
a fire occurred which destroyed the premises,
though not until after all the cheese had been
removed. BY this time Horsey had done enough
questionable acts in life to make it easy for the
public to suspect him. An investigation of the
fire was held. but nothing came of it. Horsley
was looked upon as a good Cheesemaker and is
described as a hustler" He had an offhand
manner and made friends easily, but. as one
who knew him says, he did not improve upon
acquaintance.
Early in his youth he aroused the anxiety of
his parents, and probably it is fortunate that
they are dead and unconscious of the tale o.
butchery which their son has been unfolding
Horsley left this country in 1896, going at
that time to Vancouver. 1t Is said he went
with woman, who later returned to her nus
band. Horsley's wife left at Wooler. de-
serted, and has lived there up TO this spring
where she has supported herself by working in
an evaporator factory and for farmers. She has
one little girl.
One brother lives a Wooler, where he is highly
respected A telephone message from Brighton
indicates that Horsley has married sister living
there Even as a boy" said resident or
Brighton, "Horsey showed the spirit of a gam.
bier. and he was always very fond or gahnpilhs.
y is said that the woman with whom Horsley
disappeared belonged to Campbellford. she was
away only a month.

NEW HAVEN'S TROLLEY INTERESTS.
In addition to representing 2.O62 miles of rail-
road. the capital of the New Haven also rep
resents an equity in about 1 400 miles of trolley
properties. in the marine department of the
New Haven and securities of other lines and
the Boston Maine stockholders will. it is be-
lieved, make good swap in exchanging their
holdings for New Haven shares. The Boston &
Maine in time practically will be rebuilt under
New Haven management and 1t will become a
far greater money maker than 1t is at present
as the up-to-date policy of the New Haven
management will be injected into Boston &
Maine affairs.
A far reaching community of interest policy
has been adopted by the New York New Haven
& Hartford and the New York Central and
these two companies will practically control the
transportation business of the New England
States and New York, the only important in
dependent line being the Vermont Central
which eventually, II is believed, will be obtained
by the New Haven A few months ago the New
Haven made a traffic agreement with the Yer
mont Central, and the relations between the
leading interests in both companies cordial
enough to suggest the ultimate consolidation of
the vermont Central with the New Haven
system.
The control of the Delaware & Hudson and
the New York. Ontario & Western by the New
York Central may involve financing the
part Of the Vanderbilt company, but this would
not be an obstacle to the success of the deal,
the advantage to be obtained by the New York
than offset any increase which might be neces-
sary in the company's obligations.
