 Wins Bunch of Money.

wins 6uHcn or MoHoys
 New York, May 1.-The most stupen- dous coup of recent years came of in the fifth race at Jamaica. John J. Ryan cleaned up $50y00o on the victory of Cary. This horse opened in the bet ting at 40 to and was backed down to 10 to 1 at post time. The public lost thousands on Dashaway.
 Ryan has long been known as a ma nipuator of good things and was ask ed to quit betting at New Orleans last winter because he demoralized the ring.
 Cary started in his last race at odds of 200 to l. He has long been consid- cred worthless horse, and the bookies had no hesitation in laying long price against him. He came to life in star tling fashion
 Disaster. 30 to i shot, made the running to the stretch, where Cary closed strong and won by half length. Disaster was a length in front of George G. Hall.
 Arasse won the Columbus stakes in remarkably easy fashion. Incidentally he was the medium of a tremendous killing by Sam Emmery and his friends, who backed him from to 1 to 8 to 1. Summaries:
 First Race.-Grimaldi, first; Jane Swift, second: Sandal, third.
 Second Race.-Silk Hose, first; Queen Eleanor, second; Thistle Belle, third.
 Third Race.-Monfort, first; Zal, sec. ond, Lord Stanhope, third.

The natural suppositiOn might be that

a man Ike L. Enfant. who was familiar

who necessarily had ideals connected with
