DECLINE OF POOL-ROOMS, Only the Initiated Can Gat Entrance to Them Nowadays, " BREAT SECRECY OBSERVED Volts, Bars and Watchers to Pre- vent the Entrance of Unde- sirable Customers. SEVERAL KEPT OVER SALOONS. An Evening World Reporter Manages to Get Into Many and Describes How They Are Run. While it 1s certain that there are Just as many pool-rooms running today as when the proprietors were allowed to do business openly, atill the unini- tiated have a hard time trying to bet on horse-racing There is something in the present manner of conducting pool- rooms to remind the gambler of the time when before the passage of the Ives bill every proprietor had to pay a dozen or more watchers, and raids from Headquarters detectives were of fre: Quent occurrence. Zo get into a pool-room in these days tae would-be bettor must be vouched for ‘by some one who Is well known to the proprietor or the watchers. Bcout out on every corner, The appearance of ward men and detectives fs signatied, and even if raids are contemplated, the difficulties of making successful captures seem almost insur- mountable. Neither is there the same profit in the pool-room business. The expense at- tached to the running of each establish- ment is much greater, while the fear of being betrayed necessarily means a Aight business, Pool-Rooms Preferred to Track. ‘There was a time when hundreds of men would prefer going into a pool- room than to a race track. On the ‘walls were the big blackboards showing in large letters the names of the horses entered in the different races, the weights Jockeys and the track betting, Inside the railing a telegraph instrument cliéked merrily, and as the race wa: being run at the track a deep-voiced man described the positions of the horses at various point: All that ‘s changed, There are few Diackboards now. Neither is there any man to call off the race. Instead of the bustling rooms of other days men speak only in whispers, Then there is always fear that ype police might drop In at any moment. Several Close Together, Within a stone's throw of the Grand Central Depot half a dozen pool-rooms are in operation, and to nearly all of thes an “Evening World” reporter managed to gain admission yesterday. All of these rooms are located over liquor stores, through which entrance must be effected, It was almost laughable to see the recy observed about James R. Keane's saloon, 677 Third avenue, be- tween Forty-second and Forty-third streets, The saloon itself {s small, scarcely more than twenty feet long. having one bar and one bartender to ispense the drinks, Overhead is the pool-room, to enter which, unless well known, is next to impossible. A door leads from the saloon into the hallway at the bottom of a filght of stair A man who is a perfect giant: in stature stood in the saloon beside the oor. When the reporter tried to pass tim the watcher slammed the door, and before asking any questions gave two distinct knocks on the panel. In- stantly there was the sound of bolts and bars revolving, and all was silence, Questioned by the Doorkeeper. The guardian of the door then put a number of questions, concluding with the declaration that as the reporter was ‘t known he would not be permitted to patairs. can't ‘be ‘too strict he added, the papers got onto us there je the mischief to pay. 1 am out these are my instruction: then one of the habitues of the volunteered the information that Fisitor was “straight,” and after fe Toad was easy. + giant knocked On the door again, b was followed oy the sound. of idrawing bolts and chains, Then ‘the doer swung open another man found seated in the hallway. flight of narrow stairs led to a n alxteen by seventeen feet, and on tring the contrast between that and pool-roome of former days was ent.

Joseph R. Thompson, a member of the Hackmen's Union, has brought sult in the City Court for $2,000 damages from W. H. Seaich, a livery stable keeper, of East Thirty-second street. ‘Thompson was arrested last June on Seatch's complaint for keeping his hack fanding on the corner of Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue, in violation of the law. He wap taken before Justice McMahon and held for trial in Special Seasions, where he was convicted and flued $5, Through his counsel, Charles and Al- fred Steckler, he has brought the sult on the ground that the Court of Special Sessions had no jurisdiction in the mat- ter. The law provides that In an of- fense of that kind the fine to be im- posed by the Mayor or his Marshal, and and is to be sued for and recovered by the Corporation Counsel. If the Court decides for Thompson, the Relicenian who arrested him, Justice McMahon and the "Judge of Bpecial Sessions are equally lable for acting without authority. Thompson's offense was not one for the criminal courts to take cognizance of, it is held. The case is the first of its kind to be tried. All suits for damages for arrest are based upon the acquittal of the suitor; in this instance the party suing has been convicted. The Court of Ap- peal will probably have to decide in the matter. —___—.=—__ A NAUGHTY PHONOGRAPH. Anthony Comstock Has the Owner Arrested and Held.

The colored boy rode in masterly style and won with com- parative ease. At the drop of the flag Sims was first away and was never headed. Erin, the favorite, ran almost even with the American horse, and the latter seemed to tlre a bit coming up the hill, and towards the finish it looked dangerous for the son of Iroquois, Sims applied the whip just in time, and Eau de Gallie responded gamely and fairly Jumped ahead and captured the prize, The other starters were Prince Solty- kof's Woodthorpe, Baron de Roth- nild’s Harfleur 1, M. R. Lebaudy's Acrobat, Capt. Machell's Erin, Mr. Dan- lel Cooper's Paprika, the Duke of Ham- fiton's The Nipper, Sir J. Blundell Ma- ple's Estar, Mr. T.

Croker and Dwyer and Hardy Campbell, their trainer, were congratulated on all sides, When Simms rode into the paddock after the race the cheering was renewed, and the unsaddling was witnessed by a great crowd of people, the majority pasaing favorable comments upon both and rider, In the jockeys’ dre -room Simms met with another re- ception, the Jockeys crowding around him and shaking hands with the winner of the race, During an interview Simms said: “Yea, we have made a good beginning, and I only hope we can keep it up. I thought at one time that Erin might Prove dangerous, as my mount found the hill tiring, but Eau de Gallle wa: there when I called on him, The courses are very different from what I have been accustomed to, but I must say that I like them better. There was plenty of room and it was all straight running to-day. In the meantime, in the paddock, the crowd witnessed Hardy Campbell eu- perintending Eau de Gallie's rubbing down, There was much curlosity as to the nature of some preparation which was poured over the horse's back from a long bottle. “Why, it is whiskey, said another, him an American better do the same fit as that one was I can only say that I am greatly pleased,” sald Mr. Croker after the race. “We really did not know how our horses would show up under such differ- ent conditions, I greatly appreciate the kindly and sportsmaniike spirit with which we have been treated by all.” Mr. Croker emphatically contradicts the report that Simms was in Paris, and that he had to raise the jockey’s salary in order to prevail upon him to come to England. Harry Reed and Stonenell were also entered for the Crawford Plate. It wai said that the former was off his feed. It was the first race in which any of the Croker and Dwyer string had faced the starter. Banquet was entered for the Mid-Weight Handicap yesterday, but was scratched at the last moment.
