AN IMMENSE CROWD AND EXCELLENT sPoRT-LITTLE

MONROE ErIIOMPIAY. GIROFLE AND REYKNGE

Yesterday was in many things remarkable
racing day at Coney Island 1t was
remarkable for tho great number present,
tho crowd being almost equal to that on
any racc-day this year. 1t was remarkable for tho
bad Judgment on the part of the Jockey club which,
when such a host was 10 be carried home in tho
evening allowed excessive and tedious waits be-
tween the races thus keeping the many thousand
people at the track until nearly half past
o'clock and overwhelming the transportation
lines. Tho consequence that there was
the greatest discomfort and annoyance from
pushing. cr0wding and long delays. whereas II
The races had been run oil promptly everyone
might have left the course by 53O, and all have
got their dinners at a convenient hour and without
undergoing torments on overloaded trains ana
steamboats,. The day was remarkable tor the eX-
celcnce, fullness, variety and interest OF
the sport, and also for the stupidity
Of the starter who fell INTO almost
every fault OF which starter can be guilty,
ana escaped almost every mellt which starters
sometimes show. 1t not good day for Pierre
Lorllard. PInafore and Tom Plunlctt were re-
Gently bought by HIM for high prices ana were
thought to be animals OF rare worth. Both We're
diSgraCeiully beaten IN races which they Ought ID
have won with little effort If their powers had been
AT all in proportion to their regulations. Then Mr..
L0rlard's sulky and eccentric colt Barrett WIS ont
run by CIRCLE IN The special sweepstakes. B0ouack

for ornament and not Tor use. lie was absurdIy

But Ii il was not lucrative day for Mr.. Lorlard,
