THE STABLES AND JOCKEYS.
The stables at Monmouth Park are admirably
situated, and afford a healthy and excellent place
Tor the booded stock or the owners. AT one time
parts OF the country TO the aggregate value OF
over x50O,000. Glorious old Tom Bowling Is here,
victor OF a score OF fights; Aaron Pennington,
Feliowcrait and others nearly as famous. There
is pleasant little stream OF muddy water az the
back OF the stables, and heard a man say to-day
that the reason for the muddiness OF the water
cannot have any other explanation than tnat the
Jockeys oathe Ia IT. ! Just now saw MISS
MILDLY Morgan, well known figure on race
courses come from the stable OF Pennington, and
she had IN her fingers large tooth, taken rom
the mouth OF Pennington. which the careless
trainer mad not noticed while the horse was champ
ing his food. Miss Morgan an ardent aud en-
thusiastc lover oil the noble steeu, and. besides
being member OF Henry Berghs society, sne has
passed half her lie In the saddle. Tbis lady tO0
me to-day that sne believed that every horse
should be given quart OF champagne or
pint OF MADEIRA. wine before running race.
While the sadding bell Is ringing clearly In the air
the various owners OF horses are seen stalking IN
a moody way over .he green sward OF the quarter
slretcn, looking as solemn as politician VINO Is
trying TO account lor lost majority. The mel
llnuous voice OF Underwood pierces the welkin
shouting out to his hearers. "HOw much am bid

Before the race noticed practice quite preva.
lent on this race track wnlcn l have seen aso
on other tracks, that is more honored
l refer 10 the PERMISSION given to the
jockeys to walk between races on the quarter
stretch, and talk with the Spectators many of
whom would not scruple to bribe the Jockey to
lose race. This is really Outra geOus privilege
to give 10 these lads. and leads to never ending
dissatisfaction among the decent patrons Of the
turf.
The tap of the drum is now heard and the horses
who have got we'll together are Oh and away,
pounding tue well beaten track with their dainty
hoOs, and all the lair ladies' and betting people
rise and stretcn their necks to gaze at tne
struggle, winch Is now assuming the SplendOr OF Q
well contested fight.
