POLICE IN CLUBHOUSE.
The presence Of uniformed policemen in the
clubhouse was unfavorably commented on by
many members as it was argued that the WORD
of the officials of the club that no betting would
be allowed ought to have been sufficient Many
of the regulars also felt that the police used
unnecessary severity In making all who entered
the betting rings move on
Senator McCarren at the course and his
face did not wear exactly bright expression.
He said he did not know just how things vera
going to work out. The Senator asked If one
could make verbal bets without running the
chance of landing in Jail. and. when told that
it was risky business, smiled sadly.
There were two arrests after the second race
and three more after the fourth race. but none
of the prisoners was we'll known and there was
no disturbance, not enough, indeed, to please
the crowd, which wanted more excitement.
When the prisoners arrived at the Coney ISL
and station they were told that they would be
arraigned Immediately before Magistrate Tighe
Many racetrack notables followed them, and
when the court opened, at o'clock. the interior
was packed and hundreds stood in front of the
doors unable TO get in. Magistrate Tighe dis

Alexander Blumbaum. of No 235 East 18th

No 1S Lafayette Place. Brooklyn-were ac
cused of marking the prices Of the horses and
accepting bets and Magistrate Tighe announced
that he would hold them IN $1,000 bail each for
a further hearing June p. William Du
Bois of the Patchogue Stables. who bailed the
nine men arrested Friday went on these bail
bonds and all were released.
The fact that to be seen passing money might
mean immediate arrest caused some funny hap
peninss One regular was almost arrested
when he handed his companion 50 to pay for
his ticket of admission. and another had to
explain to doubling bluecoat that the money |
he was turning over to his companion was In
payment of loan made the day before When
man took out bill to pay for sandwich or
niece of pie or a glass of beer. he glanced fur
lively about him and wondered whether his |
next door neighbor sherif's deputy ready |
to seize him. Indeed. money was incon- |
venient thing to have around-rather odd |
situation at a racecourse.
