I'lpruest Contest of tho KiiKMUcmriit

It was almost an even break between
the favorites nnd the field yesterday nt
the Exposition park, track running races,
but the ndvantago lay slightly with tho
latter, two favorites landing ilrst out of

Uy far the largest crowd of tho meet
attended tho last day's sport. There were
fully 1,200 pcoplo on hand, nnd tho betting
was furious, Tula fact led bookies to bo
moro generous than has been their wont
during the last two weeks, nnd the odds on
Indifferent choices ran higher than usual.
Tho fourth race, n mile dash, brought
out n coutest that wns probably tho fiercest
of the meet, nnd It was the hit of the
day's enrd. All the good horses for tho

New York Topics
NEW YORK. Sept. Ifi - (Specinl Corre
spondence.) If early Indications are nny
criterion, the local political cauldron Is
going to seethe with unexampled violence
this yenr. Tammany nnd anti-Tammany
nro going to have It out on strictly local
Issues nnd everything points to n fight thnt
will surpass the liveliest records of re
cent yenrs. Up to tho present tho Tnm
many situation hns benn nil nt sen. It
landed with Rlchnrd Croker, late of Wnnt
ngo, Englnnd. In fnct, Mr. Croker Is tho
sltuntlon ns far ns Tnmmany Hall is con
cerned. Absenteeism hns not Impaired bis
control of hla Immediate subordinates n
the nrganlrntlon, ns wns the ense when ho
returned from his last protracted stay
nhroad. Then there was outspoken dis
satisfaction among the district lenders nnd
efforts wore made to undermine Mr.
Croker's authority. Hut the rank nnd file
were with him. nnd herein lay his strength.
That ho fully npprcclated it was nhown by
his course. Immediately upon his nrrlval
he called n meeting of the district leaders
nt Tnmmnny Hall nnd went to the heart
of the mnttcr with characteristic direct
ness. Ho had heard that aomo of them
wore criticising his methods. Who wero
the crltlrs? Wero any of them thcro pres
ent? Would nny man come forwnrd nnd
stnto his grounds of objection? Nobody
stirred. Then the loader put It moro di
rectly. Picking out two or threo of the
most powerful district lenders he naked
them If In tho language, of the Hall
they had nny kick coming. Not they.
They wero satisfied. Mr. Croker wns nil
right, Everything wns nil right, Croker
proceeded to toll them what ho know of
their efforts to undermine him and an
nounced thnt the Incident wns closed.
Those voices which hnd roared so loudly
In his absence now attuned themselves to
fawning protestations of loyalty or pitiful
whlnlngs for pnrdon. Mr, Croker was cor
rect, as usual. Ho knew his men. Tho
Incident wns closed.
There Is ono aspect of tho Tammany sit
uation In tho present campaign more om
inous for Croker thnn wns tho quickly
squelched rovolt of the district leaders. It
Is the widespread dissatisfaction among the
Tnmmnny workers. It tho presont constl
tutlon of tho organization they find many
grounds for complaint. In the old davs
nil Tnmmany men wero equal. Tho hall
was truly democratic In that sense. Now.
however, thcro has grown up within It. an
aristocracy, typified by the "club." The
Democratic club Is today more the center
of Tammany politics than Is Tnmmnnv hall
ltsolf. To tho big, plain building on Four
teenth street any good Tammany man could
betako himself with an assured counten
anco. There Paddy'Dlvvcr's toughost cap
tain voters or Martin Engel's shabbiest
henchmen wns In his own element, "nmotig
tho boys," At tho club It Is very different.
Thnt organization Is on Fifth nvonue In It
self a damaging Indictment in the minds
of those who hnvo always been tntlght to
regard tho silk-stocking district as the
homo of tho nroh enemy, polltlcnlly-nnd If
It hns not yot acquired exactly tho Fifth
nvcnuo tone, that Is no fault of the ruling
spirit who long since decreed that evening
dress should bo the order of the night there
and that all things should bo strictly up to
the limit. To tho drawers of fat salaries nnd
accompanying emoluments, the club Is a
pleasant retreat where they can bask con
tentedly In the r.idlanco diffused by greU
ness, Hut the active worker of tho down
town ward, he who has borne the heat and
burden of tho day when the fight has been
on, Is not so pleased with It. No "glad
rags" has herein to play tho gent In tho
now Tammany renter. At the best, he Is
hut nn onlooker from the outer darkness,
n Lnzarua at this feaU of political plonty,
nnd ho doesn't like the part.
This dissatisfaction, combined with other
cntises for complaint, has found, vent In a
very decided sentiment of discontent with
the leader. Croker, say tho workers, Is to
blame, He hns given all the plums to his
personal friends and let tho rest go hungry.
Ho Is too autocratic. Ami In that word lies

OTTAWA. Ont., Sept. 22. The cabinet'
passed an order In council, appointing Sir
Louis Dnvles, minister of marine nnd fish
orlcs. to bo a judge of the supreme court
of Canada. This leaves a vacancy In the'
cabinet, which, It is stntcd officially, will
not ho filled for some time.
Tammany metu nil of them of the younger
element, that groker Is striving to bind to
himself.
In the old "days., If a man had a complaint
to make ho eouhj'flnd the boss nnd tell him
nbout it nnd geF a fair hearing. You can't
got nt tho boas any' more. He's got a body
guard (referring- to "Andy" Freedm.ui.
Croker's handy man, who Is far from pop
ular among the Tammany rank and file)
who shuts you off If you nren't In tho inside
ring. It don't mako nny dtfforcnco how
hnrd you work for tho organlzntlon. If you
don't stnnd In with the circle of bootlickers
thnt surround the boss they'll get you
turned down. And the bots don't llston to
rtnsoti any more. He's hnd tho whole snv
for so long that he thinks ho enn do Just
nn he likes. He's n regular cznr; Hint's
what he Is, nnd some of these days he'll
meet up with n bump that will Jnr him.
Hoforo thnt sort of thing comes to ho
spoken openly, there must hnve been n
vnst amount of grumbling under tho breath.
Hitherto Croker has had the groat army
of Tammany voters with him to the last.
Tholr loyalty hos been absolute, and so long
as It wns. ho could defy tho leaders. It the
present discontent with him and his meth
ods spreads further It may result not onlv
In a Tammany defeat this fall, but the
overthrow of the most plcturciquo per
sonality In American politics and his sun
planting by nnother man. Who that man
may be It would be Impossible even to
guess Intelligently,
Thero Is a new development In tho police
situation furnished hy Uovery himself, and
P Is tho strongest antl-Devery element
that has yet appeared. So long ns tho Dov
cry commissioner kopt his mouth shut, his
enemies were almost helpless. Such Is tho
lognl status of a police officer In this cltv.
thnt he lo practlcnlly, though not theoreti
cally, above the law, and It is doubtful
whether any legal evidence could have been
obtained that would servo art a basis for
turning Dcvory out. Hut public opinion
to which Dovery Is boastfully, blatantly In
different may yot Intimidate Tammany, a
more sensitive clement, Into turning him
down, and a few more outbreaks such ns
tho deputy commissioner permitted hlmsulf
at the trial of Policeman Marrlnon, will
convince even his frlond Crokor that ho
Is unsafe. No such tirade has ever before
boon heard from a Judicial bench. Marrl
nnn, It will be remombered, Is one of tho
policemen who guve testimony ns to the
system of blackmail practiced by the higher
ouictals of tho department upon patrolmen.
Within n week he was brought up bofore
Devery on tho trivial charge ot appearing
for duty In soiled clothing, A reprimand
Is the common result, ono day's pay the ex
treme penalty which has been hlthorto In
flicted. Not only did tho dopuly commis
sioner lino Marrlnau fifteen days' pay, but
without permitting him to put In a de
fense, ho assailed him In terms, somo of
which aro unfit for print. This Is the spec
taclo of Judicial calmness and courtosv
which Dcvery afforded. Half rising from
his seat, and menacing tho accused with
clenched (1st, he shouted:
"You'ro a bum. Now clear out of hero
and keep away from me. (let out, you dirty
hum, you, and r.eo If you can got that fine
remttted. Oo on, you hum, you loafer, you
" and hero tho language of the bench
became too filthy to reproduce.
Thus did Devery give emphatic warning
to all policemen who may be tempted to
tell tho truth about corruption In tho de
partment. "Squeal, and I'll soak you," Is the -way
Devery would cut it.
Trouble Is brewing over tho selection ot
Columbln to defend tho America's cup
against Shamrock. To be sure, trouble
would havo come equally If Constitution had
been chosen, but In thnt case It would havo
been mainly In tho form of outside criti
cism, to which tho New York Yacht club
has always professed ltsolf loftily superior.
As matters stand, society Is likely to take
up the matter and It la whispered that cer
tain members of the commltteo who turned
down Constitution will be made to feel the

wns learned thnt Columbia Is using the

with which It won the trial races at New

until nfter the first rnce Thursday.

It Is snfo to say that fully 20.000 person
visited Shamrock II nt the Erie basin drv
dock today. They stood In rows two nnd
threo deep all around tho edge of the big
stone dock, admiring tho vellow shining
body of the yncht and Its wonderful skv

fully limping, ns a result of his recent In

tho morning In company with Charles litis

he went back on board the oteani vnrht

those who had visited both tho defender
nnd the challenger. Former Commodore
John C. Prague, who has perhaps won more
races with his yachts In the old days th.in
any other, said:
"I like the shape of the Shamrock and If
Its sails are as good ns Columbia's It will
win the cup. Its rigging Is strong and Its

Indeed, It is not Improbable that tholr Ill

"Don't mnke any mlstnko nbout Colum

of the trlnl races may be. Tho committee
Is going to select Constitution. They be
llevo It I the better boat nnd It will be
tho defender, no matter If Columbia does
beat It. Tho trial races are only for the
purposo of tuning It up, anyway."
This was the provnlllng Impression nmong
those who wero "In tho know." Tho out

Tho fact wob, the public hnd mndo up Its

paid little attention to nny report Indi

official bulletins nnd telegrams In tho even

parently It was not until late In tho ovon

tho chief executlvo wns nctunlly dying.
Then there wns no oxcltomont; tho city

Policemen wero everywhere, expecting
som0 outbreak of emotional excitement;
they might as well havo been In bod. When
tho last brief bulletins went up. "President
