NOTES.
Since Mr.. VIM. Conner is no longer with us
as starter and general superintendent, there
Is noticeable lack OF order and discipline on
the track. The number Of starting horses
are not now put on the board, and Jockeys
seem somewhat lax in their attention to duty.
The price to the stand Of 50 is also o
source OF much grumbling. Hundreds would
visit the course and pay 81 who now remain
away. At the North clubs have long since re-
allied that the turf can only be sustained by
81 ne IS o e
the rule. The love Of the turf cannot be in
stilled by making the enjoyment of 1t too ex-
pensive for those Of ordinary means to be able
to participate. Cut down your admission
rates, gentlemen, and fill your stand and
field.
While on this subject it Is well enough to
mention the fact that many gentlemen would
attend the races with their families If the
ladies could have place on the grand stand.
AS it now Is no lady, except accompanied by q
member Of the club, can do 80 unless she takes
her place in the general stand. where the on
Mum gdtherum sit. A division made in the
stand where the ladies and their escorts
might go, would bring out many. We give
these hints in the interest OF the turf and for
It's success here.
The Pools ON T0.Day's Races.
At the pool sales last night there was quite
lively betting. On the first
MILE HEAT RACE
they sold as follows:
Adventure $40, Conrad $43 Jack Hardy $40,
Egypt SIS, Blondeu So, Burgoo So.
On the
MILE AND THREE-QUARTER DASH
Little Reb brought sos, Courier $50, Ambush
$40, Belle Barclay $40, Fred Rice 500.
As there were no weights given for the race
for the New Orleans cup by gentlemen riders
Of that club, no pools were sold on it, The
first race will start at 8 p. m. punctually.
