HORSE RACING 18 NOT A LOTTERY Justice Ingraham’s Decision Regard- ing Morris Park. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES ‘The chess players met in another round of the international chess tournament at St. Petersburg Tuesday, the result being Lasker Qvhite) and Pillsbury drew a Petroff after thirty moves. Steinitz (white) beat Tschigorin in a queen’s gambit after thirty moves. ‘The record—Pillsbury, won 5 1-2; lost 21-2; Lasker, won 5; lost 3; Steinitz, won 4; lost 4; Tschigorin, won 1 1-2; lost 61-2. The New York Herald correspondent writes: The rumor that Lasker had especially prepared a continuance for the white forces that would overthrow the Russian counter attack which Pillsbury has hitherto played when conducting the black figures lent an add:tional air of excitement to the atmos- phere of the St. Petersburg Chess Club yes- terday, when the second day’s play for the third round commenced. ‘The club members rallied to the support of Tschigorin, whose recent illness created for him the greatest sympathy. As was expected,Pillsbury played 2—K Kt B3 in response to Lasker’s opening. The battle chiefly was notable for Lasker's steering clear of the Petroff pitfalls, rather than for any offensive operations on his part. So well, however, did he play de- fersively for white that the Brooklyn lad could not more than draw when thirty Moves were made. To the surpise of all Tszhigorin accepted the quecn’s gambit offered by Steinitz, abandoning the pawn, and developing as *| rapidly as the attacking tactics of the vet- eran would permit. The game was consid- ered even, when the Russian master, whose health is not yet fully established, made an unfortunate slip and straightway lost, Steinitz scoring on his thirty-fifth move. RACING MEN WIN. Justice Ingraham Decides a Horse Race is Not a Lotte: Justice Ingraham in the court of oyer and terminer in New York has handed down a decision ordering the discharge of Col. Lawrence, president of the Westchester Racing Association, who was charged with violation of the racing laws at the Morris Park track. The complaints charged Lawrence with Men’s Full Dress Necessities at Half Price. ‘Whatever your costume lacks in com- leteness you can supply from our stock of nian half the usual expense, Full- seta, Dress ‘ies and Gloves, | Silk fs and Mufflers have been red fabalt peice ae peeee and Fine Collars and Cuffs P.

Ave. jal-lia contriving, proposing and drawing a certain lottery, the lottery being a horse race called the Withers’ Stakes. Another complaint was pool selling and recording bets and wagers on the race. The other complaint was being manager and director of a certain horse race, the same not being allowed by any special law. “It seems to me entirely clear,” said Jus- tice Ingraham, in his decision, “that th! horse race could not come within the defi- nition of the lottery defined by the penal code. If a horse race would be held to be a lottery, so would every athletic competition for a prize. This would be absurd. “Nothing is alleged to show that Law- rence was engaged in pool selling or book- making, or kept any paraphernalia for re- cording bets or wagers. “I think it may fairly be said that it is apparent that a distinction is drawn in the statute between a horse race when the suc- cessful horse fs to receive a stake or premi- um, and selling a pool or making a bet upon the race.”” Justice Ingraham also granted an order for the discharge of Joseph Sturgis, clerk to the bookmaker, Orlando Jones, who was charged with violating section 852 of the penal code by publicly registering a bet. He said that Sturgis was not guilty of any crime. Cyclist Lenz’s Murderers Esenpe. Another letter has been received from W. L. Sachtleben, dated at Erzeroum, Asia Minor, saying that three of the four Kurds arrested for Lenz’s murder have escaped from jail, and that hope of apprehending them is vain. This means that his mission has failed so far as bringing to justice the murderers of the American cyclist is con- cern Corbett to Whip “Fitz.” “T'll get a chance at that red-headed fel- low some day,” said Jim Corbett last night in a conversation at the Columbia Theater, in Boston, while waiting in his dressing room. The red-headed fellow referred to is Fitzsimmons. “I can tell you,” continued Corbett, “if Fitzsimmons should whip Maher I'll go and whip him in a minute.” Harvard is Chess Champion. The intercollegiate chess tournament has ended and Harvard comes out victorious. Yesterday's playing resulted as follows: Seymour, Princeton, beat Price, Columbia. after 47 moves; Ryder, Harvard, beat Mur- doch, Yale, after 53 moves; Southard, Har- vard, beat Arnstein after 38 moves; Ross, Columbia, beat Elmer, Princeton, after 50 moves, On the final record Columbia won 8 and lost 4, Harvard won 81-2 and lost 81-2, Yale won 31-2 and lost 81-2 and Princeton won 4 and lost 8.

It is stated that John Ward will appear before the national board of the National Basé Ball League this month and will try to have his name stricken from the list of New York’s reserved players. President Freedman says that as the club paid $6,300 for Ward’s release from Brooklyn it must become satisfied that Ward will not re-enter base ball anywhere else without the New York club’s consent in case the release is granted.

BROOKLYN ABSORBS KINGS. |The County Practically Merged Into the City. At midnight of December 31 the limits of Brooklyn became coterminous with the coun- ty of Kings. The government of the two divisions merged and the county of Kings, for most purposes, passed out of existence. The legal title of the new corporation is “The City of Brooklyn.” Kings county has been in existence for years. The legislative body of the board is now extinct, the board of aldermen taking up its work. The county auditors’ functions will be assumed by the city auditor. The county treasurer has been retained and will be known as “treasurer of Kings and treas- urer ex-officio of Kings.” The treasurer’s office is abolished. The offices of the county clerk, register, surrogate, sheriff and cor- oner are continued as co-offices. Another co-institution that had existed over 200 years, the court of sessions, died with the old year. That court had continued the organization given to it in colonial times. It was presided over by the co-judge and two justices of the peace, called “side judges.” ‘The new court will be simply the “county court.” It will sit in two divisions, will be conducted by two judges and will exercise original jurisdiction in both civil and crim- inal matters. The city court of Brooklyn merged yester- day into the supreme court, its judges be- coming supreme court justices. The court of oyer and terminer gave way to the new criminal division of the supreme court and the general term to the appellate division. All these changes have been wrought by the Tew constitution and statutes passed in ac- cordance with it. Cincinnati Takes a Big Jump. Cincinnati received a New Year gift of twelve square miles of territory yesterday, increasing the area from 24% square miles to 36%, ard increasing the population to 355,000.

There was a novel feature of the per- formance given at the opera house at Terre Haute, Ind., Tuesday night.
