■ad skill by Eugene Hildebrand, the newcomer
from Calif ornia, v.-as in receipt of thirteen
pounds scale weight from Tradition and of ten
P"un<!s from Sysonby. Tradition and Sysonby
pidj carried 127 pounds, which, according to
the basis of weights prescribed by the Jockey
Club, gave the colt a three-pound concession.
Never before m the history of the Futurity
has a coif gone to the post such an overwhelm-
J ln£ public favorite as was Sysonby yesterday:
rt»ver Wfore has it been brought home so ruth
l*ssly to me racing public that its idol was of
clay.
THOUSANDS GO TO THE RACE.
A. multitude of forty thousand men and
*omf:.. hungering for the eport that had been
««iled to a great majority of them for almost
Vxnoath while the Saratoga meeting vaa on,
'v*£& the pilgrimage to the lovely Long: Island
cosrse. with a. Jubilant disregard for the perils
. »*tf hsxd*b'ps with wh!c!i"mitMi a. pilgrimage is
invariably iraugbt. They came In their brave
*":tuinn finery, and they made the wide lawns
and] the great green etretches. that had been
i mpty and 'desolate an hour before, to bloom
- Mi color and tpJutter with the benzine breath
of hundreds of horseless devices.
The army of regulars, mobilized after a twen
ty-four hours' respite from the Saratoga cam
paign, was augmented by the vast throng of
occasional racing folk, who become plungers of
the most violently rabid variety whenevtr a
preat turf classic like the Futurity is renewed.
A noble band of bookmakers, forming an end
less chain under the betting pavilion, and
ftrengthened here, and there, where the persist
*nt onslaught of the "pikers" had left an a.1,
lrif gap, by a fresh recruit with a fresh bank
sal, a-.vj.ited the coming of the forty thousand,
flatf ss-v. to it that it kept most of the money.
The running of the Inaugural Steeplechase
atr.dic«.j', won by Mr. Widenex's Caller, an
Bided starter and an outsider in th* specula
tion, end the victory of Hamburg Belle, last
J»s.r's winner of the Futurity, in the fall, the
first of the autumn serial handicap*, paved the
«•>— expensively for the majority— for the re
•ewa' of America's richest two-year-old stake.
THE BEST OP LAND TO START.
Th» flower of the land was included In the
l»tnf starters which the programme contained,
mi even the old school racing men. who find
their greatest pleasure in harking back to the
*iicient glories of the turf and citing the deeds
«f its heroes, to the disparagement of the pres
ent (Jay combatants, were forced to admit th.it
Ihe contest promised to be worthy of their pres
ence and patronage.
''ontrarj' to the general impression, moreover.
the field wa« strengthened by additions rather
than weakened by withdrawals. John E. Mad
•*■:!« "Watercress colt Waterside, which he
bought at M Newton Bennington dispersal sale

candidate to decline the Ist u»\ and the gap

PARKER'S BADBEGINMNG
FRAUD WOK FIRST OFFICE.
Old Opponent Calls Him "Most As
tute" and a Manipulator.
From the candidacy for the office of surrogate
ef an up-State county to that of President of the
United States If a long Ftep, but it represents
the range of political aspiration of Alton B.
barker. who by the shrewd politics of his man
agers was made the Democratic nominee for
*he highest office In America at St. Louis a few
weeks ago. Twenty-seven years intervene be
'ween Judge Parker's first nomination for po
•itical office and this last one. He was elected
in 1877, and in January of the following year
became surrogato of Ulster County. That eleo
ll-m Woe tilt, UejBTUiUU^ "'!■ •* i-\'il' ■■■. - -!'~Zt
ihich has made him i_hi»r judge of (he Court
n< Appeals of New- York State.
There is no point in Judge Parker's career
more interesting than the election which gave
him his first political office. In the minds oi
many it even surpasses the sending 1 of the new
famous telegram from Beopua the day after hit
nomination, He won by a margin so :...-:' ,
and that margin wholly made up of votes from
a district notoriously corrup', fiat chargers of
fraud were freely mad? at th» lime. A contest
waul urged on his opponent, Peter Cantine, and
sufficient facts put in Cantioe's possession to
make It practically certain that he would be
successful In gaining the oft' ( For tome per
eo:.al reason, which was tever made clear to
his friends, the Republican candidate decline!
to contest, and Parker stepped into what was at
that time the best office in Ula r County outside
of the shrievalty.
< <n account of th< obvious frauds of this
tion and those of Th- following year, the peoj le
of the toy. n of Klngstoa demanded a rr.]i«»tri<-t

prevalent were kfl •■ :': ' fcoem by themselvea.
The campaign of 1877 ■«•>* not particularly
exciting, and partiFfJeeling did not run strong
There w»s a tendency on th'- part of the wot-
era to support the best man, regardless of
party, at least •■ s ° far as concerned the county
ticket. Tr« candidates for surrogate were
Peter car.fin«\ who then hold that office, and
Alton B. Parker, who had been clerk of th<>
Board of Supervisors, which is not an elective
office, fron 1873 t-> 18~r>. Inclusive, and who was
then praitisinf law In Kingston.
The day of lection was without Incident, ex
cept for the rioting at th.- polling place, at
Humphrey's Hotel, on the Stone Road, where
the roadies Tom Stony Hollow and Jockey Hill
cast their billots, and that rioting was milder
than usual. Only one man. Hugh Daly, was

WOMAN WOUNDS HIM.
Hardware Man Is Shot in Face in

Aft^r being shot In the face by a woman In his
own office in this city last evening. Roger A. Plner.
thirty years old, of No. 1.036 Sherman-ave.. Eliza
beth, N. J., was taken to th« Hudson Street Hos
pital In an ambulance. Mr. Piner walked into the
X>\& Slip station about 7:30 o'clock witn his face
ami clothing covered With blood, arid said a woman
who lives in The Bronx had shot him In his office
at No. 122 Water-st. He was weak from Joss of
blood and could tell his story with great difficulty.
He sold the woman lived In a house In The
Bronx owned by his father, and that he frequently
called on her there. She learned recently that he
was a married man. and this angered her She
went lo his offle© last evening and a Qurarel en
sued, during which she drew a revolver and fired
three shots at him, one of which took effect in th«
rljht aide >< f the fac« rear the nose. The shots
evUlmtTy «tie fired at close range, for th« powder
marks were distinct.
Dr. Stone responded to the call for an ambulance
and probed tor the bullet, but was unable to find
it. Ha took Mr. Plner to the hospital, where, it
was said. Ms condition was serious.
Mrs. Herman, the woman accused by Mr. Piner.
was arrested In her apartment on the second flour
of No. 3il Mott-av>. about two hours after th*
shooting. Detective Rosendale. who was sent to
March for her. learned, when he got to the house,
that she r-e.i left th* key of her apartments with
Thomas Oliver, who lives on the same floor.
Rosendal«> entered lbs apartment with Mr. Oliver
and awaited lur return. Mrs. Herman called at the
Oliver apartment about ten minutes later and
ask«d for the key. She was much excited, and
Mr-. Oliver asked her what the trouble was.
iii. he tried to shoot me. and then something
horrible happened." the woman si said to have ex
claimed.
Mrs. Oliver told Mrs. Herman that Mr. Oliver
was In the apartment, and she ran^ the bell. The
detective 'appeared and placed her under arre.it.
Just then Detective Walsh, of the Old Slip station,
appeared. He arr«s»i»raiitr<l Rosendale and the
woman to th« Axelander-ave. station, and later
took the prisoner down town to the hospital to be
Idealised by Mr. Piner. "While they were at the
station. Walsh was asked what she was charged
with.
• si *> shot a man down in Water-st.." he an
swered.
"What do you mean; I don't understand you?"
cried Mrs. Herman, turning or. Walsh.
Mr Finer says you shot him." said the detective.
• -It Is ... .-..; it is not so." declared the woman,
and then refused to say anything more.
Mr- Herman-said she was born In France, and
vms a widow, twenty-six year» old.
Mr. Oliver said at the Mott-ave. house that a
youbg man visited Mrs. Herman resfularly. Thurs
doy :iii;!it some man called on her. he said, and
thpy quarreled violently for about two hours.
Many of the tenant* heard the quarreling.

Entire Russian Front Engaged—
Kuropatkin's Losses 1,450:
The attack which began on Ausrust S.I on
the Russian position in the Manchnrian in
terior continued yesterday, said a dispatch
from J.iao-Yang. The movement developed
into a general engagement, three Japanese
armies being engaged. Nodzu's attack on the
southeast, Russian reports say, was repulsed.
Oku on the south and Kuroki on the east
drove the Russians to the main position. The
fighting in the latter region was desperate.
The Russian losses were 1,450. "
Refugees from Port Arthur who reached
Che-Foo brought reports which strengthen
the belief that the siege of the fortress will
be long. The Japanese are said to be unable
to occupy Itse-Shan. The chief menace to
the garrison is considered to be the loss of the
most northern fort of the eastern defences.
Japan has addressed to the powers a note
saying that she will be forced to take action
if the Russian warships at Shanghai be not
at once disarmed.
Advices from Paris say that the op
is growing thrre that France. Great Britain
and tlie I nitcd St-ttrs should stand tirmly
together to avert the dangrr feared from ;i
sweeping Japanese victor} in the East.
