urEvEuR. IDLER. Una, KRYNEY AND CoRONET TAKE
THE PRIzFs--A REMARKABLE sIEEPLECHAsE.
With n grand stand abundant in charming
faces and retty dresses with eager crowd around
the be boards with varied collection OF Vehe~s
in the field with excellent racing and with general
hilarity and satisfactOu-eXcept among unfortunate III
vestors in pools-the COney Island at Prospect
came to an eud yesterday. But only for time They
are to he renewed in September. Tie association
has 70 prospered and much interest mas
been shown, that il is proposed TO giye hereafter
regular meetings in June and September OF each year
One element in the popularity of these races Is the pool
selling 1t painfully evident that the average atehG
ant on races wants "A chance lose his money Ana ne
prefers TO lose it in French or mutual pools DooA
making" with its "play pay provision, not being

the voice bookseller is heard and makes haSte 10
deliver up his treasure TO that professional manipulation
of wagers. He exults loudly when his horse WINS ana
he goes about slowly and sadly when he finds MS conn
dence misplaced.
There were many slow and sad footsteps yesterday,
for all the ayortes were beaten One after another
five of them went down. Such slaughter very rarely
occurs in day. c. l.. Lorlllard won Two races III
which horses not the leaders OF the betthg'
and lost two in which they were. His entries nave run
very oddly this meeting. Balance All won admirably
the first day. but made wretched show OF herself Tues
day and Yesterday WuIul dsgraccd himself Saturday,
won brilliant victory Tuesday aud did fairly wen yes
terday Una appeared TO advantage IN two races satur
day though did not win either, was defeated easily
by much inferior animal Tuesday but covered herself
with glory yesterday. Ider was slow and splrtlesS
saturday but Yesterday she won race. 1t has been
repeacdy remarked by the sages Of the turf since the
DAYS of Jehu the son Nmsh the first fast jockey OF
whom there is record that racing Is very uncertain
but not often las this impressive trath been more
clearly illustrated than in the performance oil IT, L.
