With all due Difference to the judges, we
would suggest that more promptness in start
ng the horses is called for by all who visit the
Park, The owners and drivers of the horses
mould be made to respond promptly to the call
d the bell, and less time should be allowed for
ooNeyihg. Spectators get tired out with such
ons oeiays, and, as was the case yesterday af-
very often the races marked ont for
ne day cannot be finished 1t ia only, Far +ho
Judges to be firm in this respect. and as .soo,,
IS the heat of one class is over TO bava, .ho
lorses OF another class brought upinmed;ota-
y, and not to allow the drivers to take their
