CHARGES AGAINST THE TRAcKMEN.
Mr.. Lathrop. in tho presence of Hartman, hero
said. Let me tell you what ~e found fault with.
On the first day the track made loose and soft,
all for Iearys benefit 80 as to prevent. according
to our opinion, other specdicr men from meeting

feet arc very tender and the track fixed to suit
him. Mr.. Kelly, previous to this, had bet that
Hartman would not 500 mites, and II was very
evident to then. that it not good track.
OF tho contestants liked IL the way swept IL, but
could not get it swept by Mr. Kelly to suit u.s.. Tho
asked tor in regard to the track and the atmos-
phtre Of the. Garden. then had signs made No
smoking allowed the track but they were not
put up till Friday. too lato to DO of any practical
benefit TO us.
DErEsrBp TOBACCO SMOKE.
"It was tor Hartman like walking through ever
lasting spittoon. as tho people would throw their
cigar stumps right on the track In addition TO tho
volume Of smoke that constantly arose from tho
dense crowd. The whole track. in fact. smct like
huge spitoon. You must remember that tho effect
of the smoke on Hartman quite different from
tho effect the other contestants. Hartman is
taller. and he along the track he the
vile volumes OF smoke right in his fac, the terrible
effect OF which you might possibly better understand
