Watchers assigned by Deputy Commissioner Ebstein started to keep time at 4.30 o'clock yesterday, and at 1.55 this afternoon the watcherd counted that Nat Butler had been on the track twelve out of the twenty © four hours, Leander had been off the track only ten minutes when he ~ was routed out to take Butler's place. Butler was instructed by the police that he could not go on again until 4.30 P. M., when his twenty-four-hour count would be up. Leander was tired, and it is now believed that this vigilance and activity of the police will interfere with Leander’s chance of winning. Butler will go on <t 4.30_P. M. and ride until 9 o'clock to-night, and Leander will come on for the final spurt. RIDERS IN RAGE. Butler and Leander both flew into a rage when Butler was ordered off the track. They denied that Butler had been on twelve hours in the Sa, last twenty-four, but the police would listen to no argument. Benny Munroe, Walthour’s partner, was also ordered from the track. 7 SOCIETY WILL TURN OUT. 5 Society will be represented in the boxes. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, A. C.
