A largo delegation from Baltimoro was faithful to Maryland, however, nnd backed Jubilee from S to G to 7 tc 5. The others were never consid? ered as factors. Tho start wns not of the best, ns Billie Hibbs, very qulck nt tho bar rler, was away running, while Jubileo broke slowly, bolng tho lnst of tho fleld to get ln motion. Billie Hlbbs vas saillng along two lcngths in front at tho end of the flrst fwrlong, whllo Jubilee had passod the others, except Trey of Spados.

NEW YORK, April 27.?Unlcss tho Frawley blll passes the Lcgislature aml recoives tlio approval of Govornor Hughes it ls feared that tho boxlng game In this Stato Is doomed. Tho chancos for tho blll are bollovod to bo protty sllm. as strong opposltlon has been manlfeated toward it by tha reform elemenj in tho .Loglslaturo. The boxlng that has'been going on hero intermittc-ntly for tho past two or three years is alleged to havo been lo gallzed by somo magistrate's decislon, whlch ruled that whero two members of a club ongaged in a boxlng exhibi? tion for the entertainment of tholr fellow-members. where no admlssion hnd boon charged, and no purse glvon to the boxors.no, law was belng vio lated and consequontly it was entirely permisBiblo. On the strength of that ruling- tho buslness has flourlshed hero ofT and on. Two or throo clubs like tho I-orig Acre, tho Now I'olo and Bllly Eltner's Consolldated A. C, havo mado a fino show of livlng strictly up to tho lottor of tho law and wero not molested, But as soon as they would got going a few wooks thc old hurigry prnmotors would get an uncbhtrolable hankeri'hg for a "sllco" of lt, and up would spring irmumerahlo clubs for tho purpose of holding houts. Any old hall would do, any old mlxed alo boxers woro good onough; any old method of telllng tlckets would sufflco so long as the monoy camo and eanio ciuick. Nuturally, when these- (lagrant shams got going hard and flaunting their vlolations of tho law ln tho nowspapers, tho polico woro shamed Into tnkiag a hand. Whon tho polico take a hand they nro not going to study out tho sltuatlon and dociclo whether thore aro possibly any clubs that havo a right to hold bouls.

JOCKEY CLUB IS WORRIED Thrcc Famous Plutigefs Form Most Formitlablc Con? fcderacy. "V J. s. A. M.K't)(),\AI,D, NEW YORK, Aprll 27.?"Turf poli? tics plays an /mp.ntant part In mbtro Holltnii racfrig-. There nro many under eurronts to tho sport <,r prlnco8 nbout New iorlc as there. ara tow tldos in tho C.tilf 6t Mexlco. Just now the np pnrent confllct botween the powers of the Jockey Club ancl tho powerful money cllnue hciided bv "Davy" John son. ox-Senator "Blg Tlm" Sulllvan nnd Frank J. Farrnll. the American Leaguo baseball inagnate, is couslng no end of gosslp nml conocrn among tho professional folloivers of racing, nnd also among tho i-nentors and iick tors hlgh ln tlio circles of tho turf government. For soveral years these men havo been operntlng In n spectacular way ns Indlvldunls. Late lnst iiutumn they unlfled tlwlr Interests, their frlends openly nsscrtlng at tho tlmo that the trlo would "swlng the bettlng rlng market next year." Slnce the pasalng of "Pittsburg Phll," the Jockey Club's battlo cry has been "Doath to tho pro feslonal pluhgers." Ilence the powers aro not now looking wlth any too pleaslng nn eye upon the new comhlna tion. The Idea is that it may dominnto tho speculatlve end of tl^e gamo to such a degrco tliis sutunier that a sldesliow of thc turf wlll result. Tbe newspapors wlll be inieii wllh their dolngs and tho up-Stato rurdllsts scan'clallzed by tlie dally tnlk of the blg wlnnlng.., of Frank Farrcll, "llig Tim." or "Davy" Johnson. A Powerful Confedcracy. No more powerful or better oq.ulpp'bd bettlng'-rlng confcderacy could bo Uo visod. To begln wlth, the commlsslon? ers of theso men have ace'ess to tho pool-room clrcults,' whllo overy "angle" of tho bcttlng market Ia an A, li. C to them. Over $100,.? worth of use fu! race horsos have been pooled. Johri tcon coming ln wlth Roseben, and Sulll? van contrlbutirig Dr. Gardner, just now tlio most formldab!" 'candidate for the Metropolltnn Handicap on Ilelmont Park's opening day. Farrell's well knpwh business gcnoralshlp brought Frank AVelr in ns head tralner. and Jockey "Jack" Martin as the "Trust's" jockey. As tho fsen.'-nn advances, tho students of aforementloned "turf poli? tics" ns many a clnsh between tho con servatlvo govornmental elemont and tlio Jobn.?on-Sulllvan-Farrcll Interests will occur. Meamvhllo tbe Issue over Jockey Martin has scrved to draw tho ? Ine. The Jockey Club sems to have scored first blood. On Carter Handlcnp Day, Jolinson declared he would not start ltoseben If the Jork-w Club dld not grant Martin a temporary llccnso. so that he mlglit tako the mount. Tho Jockey Club took no notico of tho eir cumstnnce. though had not Roseben started a great clainor would have surcly arisen from the thousands of rncegoers wlio had come from the city purposely t<> bet on Roseben and to soo tho great sprlntod show lilmself under colors. Johnson weakened, for at the eleventh hour ho put up Ueekman on Roseben. and. of course. nll tho world doth know how the IIUI" fellow dropped into a serles of pockcts, nnd, after riuininc: around his field, only rnlsscd beatlng C.lorifler by a slu.rt jmargln. Tue Martin caso is interest? ing. For an "unsatlsfactory" ride on Or1y II. at New Orleans Stcward Frank .1.

Wlien the "Blg Three" slgned iiji Martin for ir<07 ond the rlder ap? plled for a llccnso the New Orleans Incldent sorved the Jockey Club very nicely. Tho appllcatlon was tabled. Johnson trlf.l to evoke a bearlng on Carter Handicap day, but failed. Un? doubtedly Martin would have rendered offectlve servlce for his now employers, as he is our premior boy at handicap dlstances to-day. Metropolitan Handicap Next. The next blg race hore in the Kast wlll *be tho Metropolitan Handicap. It wlll be a. much better raco than either tho Excelsior Handicap, which was contested on iast Frlday, or tho $10,000 Carter Handicap of last Mon? dny. Paul J. Rainey is going to start De Mund again.
