passed from him.
The old man. who has fought his way

few days ago with $4,000 in his pocket
This money, the practical gift of an old
friend and business associate, repre-

all of these years of fighting and brok-
on in fortune, he is In Lexington, Ky,
at the bedside of his dying wife.

The Foreman Bros. Banking company
held note signed by Corrigan and in,

and was due May "a. Corrigan could
not meet the note. His fortune had
been dissipated. But he found time to
write to mis- old friend Carey.
''Tom, I'm broke and / can I pay

Every dollar he had was invested in
horses and things pertaining to them.
But he could race nowhere but on his
own tricks. Then the law came along
and stopped them.
On May last Corrigan was sued in
Lexington, Ky, by John W. Gates for
$3S,000 Gates alleged that Corrigan
gave him 42S shares of stock in the
New Orleans Jockey club as security,
but when sold they brought but S234S.
Gates asked Judgment for the re.

'garded as the finishing stroke to the

tribune Speclal sporting service.
NEW YORK, May 29.-From a
source of authority it is learned that
Governor Hughes is satisfied with the
reports he has received in regard to the
conduct of racing at Belmont Park. 1t
is asserted at Albany that the reports
circulated that Assistant District At
torney Elder had interviewed Governor
Hughes on the question of procedure,
when racing came under his Jurisdlc-
ton, had no foundation. that the gov
ernor had not seen nor heard from the
assistant district attorney.
Those in close touch with Governor
Hughes are pronounced in expressing
the attitude of the governor regarding
the outcome of the Agnew-Hart bill.
They say the law is there, that the
courts have interpreted it, and so long
as the associations and the public live
mp 10 the decisions of the courts, no
further action will be taken. Any
lnfraction Of the law will be imme-
diately looked into. This seems TO
mean that as the Objectionable features
Of horse racing have been eliminated,
the sport will continuc, and presumably
grow upon the new foundation that is
now being built.
This is cheering news to those who
are much concerned in the welfare of
the turf, and viii do a great deal to
bolster up the weakened who arc load,

Here the Pttsburg and Allegheny and

is estimated that about $l,000,000 will
be distributed by the various circuits
throughout the country. In the Grand
circuit alone nearly 500 900 will be

Grand circuit this year. The change
from the old fashioned heat races to

The surface Of the track is made up
of soft cedar, and the riders will not

The former surface was Of Oregon fir,
which was bad for slivers, and which
nearly caused the death Of n. G. Hop

Walter Bardeett did not come up TO
the standard at Los Angeles. More was
expected Of him owing to his splendid
riding in the cast last year. This eli
mate does not seem to agree with
Bardgett, and he may be forced to 90
east before the close Of the present
season. Should Hardy Downing and
Walker team, or Downing and liver
Lawson, there will be a slim chance for
any of the other riders TO get into first
money. Pye is riding good and may
spring surprise when it comes to
taking down that first money.
Reports from the east have it that
A. J, Clarke and F. A. Mcfarland may
come here in a short time, and with
the addition of these two riders the
game would be improved great deal.
Manager Heagren has arranged a
good card for the opening meet, which
is as follows:
