BUYYALo, Aug. 14-The managers Of the track
and the good people of Buffalo have big thing in
their annual races They are shrewd men, and
make lots OF money from the thousands who flock
70 witness the trials OF speed over their fst course
The performances this year afforded vast deal OF
SPORT yet we regret to record little dissstisnc
ton to many who came from distance. The 90, 900
purse for one, seemed 10 be managed In the
interest OF the homo market Henry Harley
the hvorite, In q food, game horse. Under my
circumstances lie might have won, but his dt.
yer and owner certainly adopted queer
way to accomplish that end. In the rrst heat he
not only ran into another sulky and spilled his
driver, injuring him severely, but ran the heat out
while Prince trotted out the heat In e2s coming In
winner without interfering with nny other horse
DECLARED "no heat" by the ruling spirits in the
judge stand, who also ruled that .. the running
away OF Henry Harley was an Unavoidable accident.
he was not distanced. lie was therefore permittc cd
70 start again 10 the race Harley won the race and
fret money amer his rnishhp; Prince awarded
second money; and many unbellevers in the doc
trne OF the Inalhbiity OF mer cling to the idea that
Our reporter attaches no blame 10 Rodon, the driver
Of Prince.
The next event in interest was the trot between
capital Was Invested ON the hrst named horse. Hot,
spur won the FIRST heat in 2254, Henry the second
and third In 92S, and the last was awarded him by
the judges IN 2s34 although he crossed tire score
on q run, anu only about half length ahead oil
Hotpur. Buffalo capitalists were again ahead on
this decision, but tine time made shows that Budd
Doble made desperate effort win,t bets lis
own money the result, proving there was nu
throw on his part The decision did not meet uni
yersal approval, for prominent MANAGER lost
heavily. lie was to blame. He should hive con
fded in the Ring, and the matter might have been
managed.
The third event the effort between Goldsmith
Maid and Palmer to beat Dexters 2t1k. TlOrne
did not start. Goldsmith Maid started the third
hest. Tue track was cleared, ana scouts ~vIv seen
ali over offering TO bet the odds ~ aud 30 10 100
tnat she would accomplish the feat. She came home
in 2:2O, while outside watches made II 20h She
broke and ran twice-a long distance both times.
Daring the heat Palmer urged at times 70 .
still run to her ahead, but of avail and old
borsemen expressed the opinion that had she
squarely the mile would not have been made IN less
than 2:22. The last ones seem all awry this season.
and we see no indications that the record will be
changed this year.
Good judges affirm that the Buffalo track Is ~
seconds faster than any track Long Island,
aud base their opinions upon the performance OF
Prince. HOtspur aud numerous other rOtters Sui
the Buffalo park is peeuniary success but We
would suggest to Mayor Wells and the Association
that the carriages be not permitted 70 interrupt tho
view of spectators that another stand be erected,
ard above all, that II possible they relax little Of
their great interest in the protection Of home capital
