attendance racing that compared well with the pes
OF previous days II Ia plain that good racing VIII not
ample support in this part OF the country hereafter Inc
difficulty Il that the number Of horses I'm training is ar
too small for the great number OF races in all parts Of
the country There ought to be ten times "a many
racing stables as there to meet the demand
and the results OF the turf contests this year arc uch az

BREEDS The Lorilards and the Dryers and other
extensive owners have not been sweeping everything
before the IN ~ in other seasons The small own
ers have picked up many good prizes especially a. the
sbecpshead Bay meeting The OF Fair Count IN
the principal race yesterday illustrated this At one
time he could have been bought Tor Hmau sum-
but ho must have been worth to his owner in money
and bets then at least $4,000 More horsoS
in training, fewer selling races fewer snort daSneS
and fewer eplechaso and more weight forage races
and hghclass handicaps over good distances arc Wna
the American turf needs.
Yesterday, though tho conditions OF the races were
generous q fault. two OF them had only TWO STARTERS
It impossible understand tho dark ways OF owners
who throw away such chances to make money In
the first race only Lucy May and Blumen ram and
the latter had no chance The short selling
race woa won by Little Phil, OF those mysterious
animals that emerge obscury at long intervals,
show speed capture large spoS for their owners ID
bets and then sink into retirement Colonel Sprague ana
Frankie b. had a vigorous finish ia the third race ana II
Mr.. Burnham had put n boy Instead OF oaoy
on Frankie b. the prize would have been
his Fairview the favorite defeated Antrim easily In
the fourth race Then the stirup Cup one OF the
chief contests OF the meeting EOc, with the hlghest
weight, was overwhelmingly the fayorite. hter MS
splendid race on Tuesday his parsans could not think
his defeat possible lie carried no moro weight but nc
met some better horses At the end he was third and

called laborious "Punger" Walton is said TO have
won $4,000 Fair Count II he wins all he IL cred
tied with winning must be getting very rich But one
thing ia certain lie has scared the bookmakers ont OF
such senses az they had. They quake inwardly
when he goes around among them wi.h MS
littlo book He sweeps their tin boxes
U "a much diligence as 10 sweeps the streets. They
heap UP plundor OF the public ana he shoves up the
heaps and takes them He is rapidly running the
bookmakng business in this country. The bookmakers
sad in dread of him that they do no. dare to give
decent odds in any There are no men among
them of courage and capital enough to beat Mr. Walton
at his game

This race was chiefly note worthy for the industrious
circulation OF reports intended to affect the betting
Il was said that Lucy May was virtually

this way her hackers were enabled to win much more
money than they otherwise could have won
