RACES YESTERDAY.
How. the Horse* Ran at Saratoga and
Brighton Beach.
New York. Aug. 2.—An exceedingly
poor card and the heated weather kept
the expected large attendance down to
until figures at Brighton Beach today.
There was but one race on the carl
which promised anythin* like a good
contest, and only four were in that to
start with, while the horse which wa»
expected to give Charade an argument.
Herald, was declared but early In ihe
day, leaving Mary Stone and Lauret to
run against a high class animal. When
the flag fell Lauret took the lead and
continued there till the turn Into the
atretch, where she was passed by Mary
Stone. In the last sixteenth Charade
came ud under the whip and beat them
both out.
Mary Duke was the favorite In the
opening.race and won.
Jerwey Belle was the choice Ip the
second rice, with Half Mine second, but
she could do no better than second,
while Half Mine won. with Wllmar sec
ond. A lot of no account twu-year-olds
weie seen in the third race and they
were dome time at the post before they
got away, which they finally did to an
excellent start Red Top made all the
running and got the first place, with
Van Brunt seebnd by a short nose from
the outsider. Fannie B.
The favorite went down in the fifth
race, Tod Gallant winning all the way
from Watenapn.
In the sixth race Robusta, the favor
ite, fell a victim to Dr. Garnet.
AT SARATOGA.
Saratoga, AUg, 2.—There were seven
races on the card today und an extra
one wua thrown In by some of the
Jockey* themselves. Owing to a pecu
liar error Liza, Dorga, Bailie Wobdford
and iMeecdah broke -away'to a..false
start in the first race. The otfhem were
left standing at the post, and €» fohr
raced nround the entire distance, five
furlongs, the Jockey* apparently* not
knowing that the flags had gone down.
Liza nad been the favorite, but when
t'he horses went to the post -again Hicrt?
was a big hedge, Lux getting mosl of
the money. The wisdom of hedging
was proven by the fact that Lux won
easily.
The chief Interest centered in the
fourth race for the Montana, stakes. An
-vhl'-n \.»mplight«»r, Clifford, Dr. H.’s-
brouck und o-’.her cracks were entered.
Clifford made the running 40 the
stretchwith Dr. HaWbrouck second and

Sol Hoge's corner was enlivened at
2 o’clock yesterday afternoon by a diffi
culty betweenMesar*. T. J. Carling
and K. 6. Collins on one side and Cook
Clayton, Joe and Henry Napier on the
other, and for a few minutes it looked
like everybody on the street was fight
ing. / -* *,
The origin of the difficulty was on
Wednesday afternoon at Ocmulg^e
Park, when Mr. Carling arrested Mr.
Cook Cluytbn for riding hla bicycle In
tine pavitlion, and after bringing him
on me car to the power house turned
him over to a negro policeman with in
struction* to lock him up.
At the recorder’* 'court yesterday
morning Mr. Clayton acquitted of
disorderly conduct, which was the
charge preferred against him, and af
terward he, in company with Messrs.
Joe and Henry Napier and S. A.
Crump, awaited Mr. Carling on Hoge's
corner. When Mr. Carling came along
with Mr. CollIns, Mtu Crump stepped
out in front of him and said to Messrs
NapJer and Clayton: "Here’s the
v whip him/' Mr. Carling
stepped 'back, and throwing himself In
a defensive attitude said: "Come on."
In another moment Messrs. Napier and
Clayton sprang <a& him, while Mr.
Crump sfocal to one side. (Mr. Collins
tfcuw tne attack being made on Mr. Car
ling and grabbed Mr. Joe Napier, anu
the croWd separated Messrs. Henry
Napier and Cook Clayton raining blows
on Mr. Carting, while Mr. Joe Napier
und Mr. Collins had a set'to. After a
few blows had passed, Mr. Henry Na
pier saw hla brother and Mr. Collins
light and left Mr. Carling to assist his
brother. At this Juncture Alderman
Van ran up, presumably for the pur
pose of separating Mr. Carling and
Mr. Clayton, out Mr. Crump caught
him and warned him to keep away.
Other* interfered finally«ind the bel
ligerents were aeparated.
After the fighters were aeparated it
was found that Messrs. Carting and
Collins were bleeding profusely from
injuries about the face and Mr. Van
had in some manner been cut on the
hand Neither Mr. Clayton or the Na-
pp- /ere injured. Mr. D. B. Wood-
run:, who was not Interested in the
fight, was In some manner knocked
down .tout not hurt.
Chief Butner arrived on the scene
about the time the fighting was over
and summoned all 'parties -before the re
corder this morning.
Alter the difficulty a Telegraph te-
portcr sought Mr. Crump and also
talked with the Messrs. Napier, and
their statement of the affair Is in effect
that Messrs. Clayton and Napier rode
their bicycles to Ocmulgee park on
Wednesday afternoon tb witness the
free performance to be given there. On
their arrival they started Into the pn-
villhm with their bicycle.-*, but were
told- by a negro woman, who said she
was in charge of the pavllllon, that bi
cycle* were nbt allowed In the pavll
llon. Messrs. Napier dismounted, but
carried their bicycle* into the pavllllon
and placed them to one side out of the
way. Mr. Clayton rode hlB bicycle Into
tho pavllllon, but sttopped when half
■way across and carried his wheel to one
side where those of the Messrs. Napier
had been placed. The negro woman who
had at first remonstrated said no mt^re,
but sent for Mr. Carling, who arrived
later and asked the young men who*had
been riding bicycles In the pavllllon.
They replied they had not, wherqppon
Mr. Carling said they had and threat
ened to throw their wheels out Thar
defied hlnj to do 8b nnd wordB followed,
after which Mr. Carling called the con
ductor and motormun of a car and In-
strutted them to put the bicycles on the
car. They did so and the young men
followed. On the car Mr. Carling *told
them they were under arrest, as he as
alderman had the right to arrest them.
Mr. Clayton questioned his authority
and Mr. Carling called him a liar und
offered to get off the car and fflght It
out, telling Mr. Clayton that he (Clay
ton) wft* a young man ahtl the (Carling)
was nn old man. Mr. Clayton declined
to fight and the car came on to the
power house, where Mr. Carling had it
stopped and took the bicycles off, tell
ing the young men to get off, which
they did. He then told one of his em
ployes to go for a policeman and the
employe soon returned with Gordon, a
negro policeman, whom Mr. Carling In
structed to lock Mr. Clayton up, he hav
ing previously lold the Messrs. Napier
that he would make no case against
them. Gordon asked permission to sum
mon Mr. Clayton instead of locking him
up, but Mr. Carling said no. Gordon,
however, brought Mr. Clayton to tie
office of Mr. Crump, who accompanied
them to tho police station and put up
collateral for Mr. Clayton’* appearance.
Last night Mr. Carling was seen nod
asked for his side pf the question. Mr.
Carling said that all he had to say was
that he did not send for the negro po
liceman. but told the man who went
for a policeman to get a policeman and
that he never for a moment thought
who the policeman would be. When
Gordon arrived he was mad and never
noticed whether he was white or black
ami he never for one'inoment thought
of helping on Mr. Clayton the Indignity
of being arrested by a negro policeman
and that he had s»o eta ted openly In the
recorder's court. Had he given the mat
ter a second's thought he would not
have let Gordon arrest him. In regard
to the fight on the corner Mr. Curling
laughingly said he knew nothing of it,
oa the first thing he knev several Of
them were pounding on him. He said
he regretted that he did not take time
to think of the policeman being rt ne
gro, but that he bellaved any other man
would have acted like he did under sim
ilar circumstances.
Roth Msssrs. Carling and Collins
treated the fight very lightly and
laughed heartily when telling about it
Neither of them harbored any 111 will
toward the young men, .md in fact com
plimented them on their fighting quali
ties.
Mr. Crump says it was an outsider
who struck Mr. Collin* the first blow,
but he did not give the outsider’s name.
No one seems to knbw how Mr. Van got
cut. as the only knife In the crowd was
a broken pocket knife in the pocket of
Mr. Joe Napier, which he had been
using a* a screwdriver Cor his bicycle
and which he says he never thought t>f
drawing. He gladly surrendered It to
Chief Butner when asked for it.
It is not believed that anything fur
ther will come out of the affair, as the
principal cause of grievance against MV.
