THE RACING.

The track at Jerome Park is undoubtedly faster
at the present time than BEFORE AZ has been
demonstrated by Springbok running second heat
In :44k on Tuesday, and 10 Daniels making the
same record yesterday afternoon. The weather
dangerously hot during the day, and this
together with falling on IN the number ofraces, put
the best natured visitors to the course in condi-
ton bordering on lever. Two races and q walk
over were all that was gwen; and yet the American
Jockey Club not to blame for the latter event,
as they offered money enough (sl,oO0 for q good
Hed of horses for the two mile heat race. The
truth is the public like heat races, but the owners
Of good horses will not let them run heats in the
early summer particularly when there are plenty
Of Cup events and dashes to run for that do not
wear and tear the horses as much as heats do.
And probably 1t would be well in the iu-
ture for the American Jockey Club not to
give purses Tor heats In the Spring, but
give the money for plenty OF short dashes. We
would, however. advise them to make one i'm
provemcnt to their present rules. and give any
money tor a walk over IN the future, and then the
game that was played the day before yesterday OF
getting a rumor well circulated that Mcdaniel in
tended 10 run Springbok In the two-mile heats de-
TERED the owners OF horses that are not engaged
In the cups from entering. Sanford and other
horses undoubtedly would have entered, and a
good race would have been the result had not the
game OF blun been played by the confederacy as
well as 1t was.
