(Special to The Evening World.) CHICAGO, June 2—It looks as if Washington Park ractng was at an end, that is as far as the sport Is concerned at the present course. The black eye that the absence of gambling gave the attendance Saturday when the big derby was run developed into a complete knockout yesterday, when about 1.000 persona entered the gates of the svbell South Side Association's grounds, and out of this bunch. 1,000 were spectators and 500 were coppers, Absence of betting cost the club a decline of 33 1-3 per cent. in Saturday's attend. ce. In money, it ja tmporsible to approximate the loss, but conser- vative mathematictans say $200,000 on the day. There was a dead loss on admission of $25,000; on books, $12,000 on privileges, $25,000, and on the feld books, which were run by a syndicate of club members and generally num- vered from ten to fourteen, of from $100,000 to $125,000, Thon there was the incidentals, such as telegmph toils, Ups, fees to the messengers, &c., to say nothing of the loss to rallronds, hackeys, elevated roads, street cars and restaurants, hotels and grafters. When it became notsed about that betting would be prohibited the rafl- roads took no chances on big excur- sions, and there was a noticeable lack of the country cousin, The only thing that did help fill up the gap was the advance guard of delegates and under- studies who came on for the Republican Convention to-day. fonadles who paraded down Michigan avenue. The old-timers refused to move from corners in caravan series, and even the offer of passes in many instances were tossed off with “what the — ts the use of going to races ff you can't be AN the méney lost Saturday wus lost In the winter books to O'Leary, Yeager and Weller.

BRITT AND “CORBETT” MAY MEET IN ST. LOUIS ST— LOUIS, Mo, June -Ji mmy Britt wants to meet Young Corbett in thelr next match before a Bt. Louts audience as the neutral battling ground. Clenn-cut, unassuming and of gentle- manly bearing, the Californian, who came into the Hmelight by disposing of former Champion Young Corbett, blew into St. Louls from Pittsburg. He came to “do” the fair and incidentally have a Mttle whispering with James J. Corbett as to the possibility of meeting Young Corbett here in their already arranged match, “According to th agreement,”” says Britt, “‘we are to fight in December, but {f an inducement in offered I am sure the agreement could be altered to the effect that the battle could take Place in St. Louis during tne season when St. Louis is full of World's Fair visitors, I will stay as long as I can and then go on West, where I have some business that needs attention. “About Jeff? He must really be in- fured severely or the fight wouldn't have been postponed indefinitely. Young Corbett?

When he paraded of the Harlem NEW COURSE FOR HARLEM REGATTA Local oarsmen are interested in a plan for the removal of the ledge of rock wiiich projects into the Harlem River from the Fronx shore just below the boathouses in Macomb's Dam Park, and which prevents the use of the easterly channel under the central bridge except for boats of very Nght draught. The removal of this ledge would make it possible to lay out a mile course from a point above the Madison Avenue Bridge to a short distance above the Putnain Bridge, which, through the greater part of its length, would coincide with the old Harlem regatta course, which ex- tended from Gates's lumber dock, be- tweeon the Madison Avenue Bridge and tho Third Avenue Bridge, to a point just below the Central Bridge. ‘This proposed new course, though not as straight or as wide as the Speedway course now used, would have the ad- vantage of being much nearer to the boathouses and of allowing the greater part of each race to be seen from the clubhouse floats and balconies, As the ledge is an obstruction to the naviga- ‘ton of the river, itis pR&pned to ovtain Its removal by the United states Goy- erumnent, and steps already have beet taken to interest members of the New York State delegation sn Congress in the mutter, Tt is expected that an official of the National Associaticn of Amateur Oars- men will be present next Monday even- ing to confer wit the local oarsmen regarding the arrangements for trans- portation to the national regatta, to.be held at St, Louls on Friday and Satur- day, July 29 and %, It is understood that the West Shore Railroad has of- fered to run a special train for the oars- men, leaving this city on the morning of the Tuesday preceding the regatta and agriving at St. Louis on the evening of the following day, Some criticism of this plan 1s made on the ground that it would allow only one day in St. Louis previous to the regattta. It is suggested That the start be made on Sunday ov Monday. instead of ‘Tuesday, and It 14 expected that a decision will be reached at the meeting next Monday evening.
