VARIETY DEMANDED.
During the pnst two years TUE Tn1nUNE has
perslstenty and repeatedly chilled the attention Of
track managers to the fact that they were conduct
ing their business in a rut made by the custom Of
years ago, aud that bY so doing they were keeping
AWAY class OF patronage that they Id i'll afford
to lose. There is no necessity for again repeating
the facts and arguments heretofore presented.
Variety is jnat much needed the turf as it is
in the theatre. md the managers who soonest ap-
pFcelate and take adEanlagc o1 this fact will reap
taa hs f't csd,9s :RS s5s'fs 5 benefits A. in Is Other

and Variety" as its watchwosd. The lead having
been taken by this city. others are following 1t,
and from present appearances the Board Of Stew

JUDGE GARY on R4CE-uoRsEs.
Not long ago there was case tried before Judge
Gary, Of this city, in which it was sought to re-
cover damages for the loss Of horse, the an
ial being valncd BY different experts ut from $500
and registered in the Stud Book, from which facts
the attorney for the plaintiff endeavored to show
that by reason OF its choice breeding, and the fur
ther fact that it had won during its racing career
several valuable stakes, the animal was of peculiar
value in the stud and that therefore. no ordinary
price sonlo recompeuse its owner foF the loss sus-
tanned by its death. In his decision Judge Gary
upset all this argument in very lively fashion,
saying that the Stud d-Book was merely hcareay ey~
ideucc. and that race horse was gam bling in-

He stated that the plaintiff could not recover. and
that the horse should be valaed for That he was
worth on the road. Commenting on this e1traor-
