"A GREAT CROWD PRESENT.
Every year since Monmouth Park was
opened many thousands Of people gone down from
this city on the Fourth of July TO see the races ana
every year the transportation companies have
failed to carry them with prompness, ease
and comfort The managers know perfectly
well every year what TO expect and have plenty CT Time
for preparation. And every year they fall.
Those who took the late trans the allrail route
yeseriay-and there great many of these unior
tunate peopehad the right TO expect that they would
reach the track time for the first but they dd not
supply sufficient motive power, and the en-
CINE OF one OF the trains had to stop ana rest
at intervals and make steam for another enorI
This kept back the other trains. 1t is only iar
to say there had been trouble on previous days
But there should the holiday on the
other hand the managers of Monmouth Park might
have shown little consideration for the thousands oil
people who delayed through no fault OF their own.
II they had postponed the first race until O'CLOCK anu
shortened the intervals between some of the Others no
one would have suffered damage or DISAPPOINTMENT
and great many would have been grained.
Such matters do much to make mar the popularity VI
raeecourses.

suffered sadly But the rain did not prevent admirable
racing, and that small compensation. Inc pe'

The two neatly even in The betting ana the race
show cd that they almost even in merit for Runy
mede only by a head, and it was the most hardly
won success of his life. Every meeting oi these TWO

1t was a favOTites' day. Barrett ran another
of his Barrett first herest nowhere races, although
good field was against him. His marvellous nights OF
