SPORTS ON LAND AND WATER,


A GOOD DAYS RACING SPOILED BY AN UNJUST DE-
CONGRATULATIONS EXCITED AND INDIGNANT
PAROLE, BELLA, JACK OF HEARTS, FAIR CoUsn
CONSTANTINE, HosPoDAR AND KITTY CLARK TIE
WINNERS.
The Monmouth Park Association is in sad need Of
competent judges 1t has done great deal for tho
American turf, but such affairs as the decision IN
the selling yesterday will certainly make IL
popular. There have been several extraordinary
decisions at Long Branch this season. but that OF
yesterday, by which a race was taken away from q
horse that had it without any other reason than
the inability OF the judges to what las plain TO
every other person on the grounds, caused an out
burst of excitement and disgust the effect of which
the prosperity of the will not be beneficial
| The day was fair and not too hot the attendance
was large, the racing was excellent, and al
| together the afternoon would have been
| joyabe in every way if the judges could
have seen what no one else failed TO see. Pierre
Lorillard was present, having come down from
! Newport again to his horses run. The view
could hardly have given him much satisfaction. for
although Parole in good style, his lncOnstant
and Itaska diSgraced themselves and lghtened tho
pockets Of their owner IL il shTcwdlY suspected
that Mr. Waton's bank account also suffered deple-
tOn. But he cannot expect always to win. The
man who had best reason for dissatisfaction was
Arthur Hunter. On Thursday his Sir
Hugh just barely missed beating Bedouin
| by few inches and making good return IN bets
| to Mr.. Hunter. Yesterday Sir Hugh was great
| favorite in the selling race and it was
he that was actually the winner, although tho
| judges decided against him. But this not all.
| Mr.. Hunter rode Vampire in the gentlemens rsce
| Immediately afterward. Most of the occupants or
| the grand sand believed that Vampire was first as
the end by head but the judges decided in favor
| of Hospodar So Mr.. Hunter suffered by both the
| disputed decisions of the day.
Three ran IN the first of a mile-Paroe, Clara
| ID. and Strathspey. Clara ID. is the property oil
| "Luckyr Baldwin the well-knOwn San Francisco
| lonaire, who was at the course, and she has had
a long and varied racing career on both
sides of the Rocky Mountains. She
has been running we'll of late and found
some support even against Parole. But the condi-
| tons of the race put only 107 pounds on Paroles
| back and il must be indeed goOI horse that can
beat him Just now when he is SO lightly weighted.
1t mere fun for him to run away from the pair.
Of course Strathspey was last. James f.
Kelly now owus him. lie is very much
| ont of place i'll any race with
Parole. In the Camden Stakes three-qulrters Of
mile for wcyear-olds, seven appeared, with lncon-
slant a great favorite. She away before the
race, and was last almost all the way having. for
the time at least lost all the speed which
she has shown recently. The winner very
UNEXPECTEDLY turned up in Mr.. Kellys
| Bella. Nothing that she had done before
warranted the belief that she would win. and she
was so low in the betting that mutual pool tickets
paid 1925 for So. Behind her were Woodhower, Le
Petit Due, Renegade, Disdain, Wilma Ding and In
constant
Five contended for the Harvest Handi-
cap III miles, Jack Of Hearts was
carrying only 100 pounds and did 50
well Wednesday that he was first in tho
betting. The friends of the Rancocas stable, how
ever. put their money freely Itaska He ran fast
for mile, but the finish between GIrole and
Jack of Hearts. The mare was TOO heavily weighted
| and the colt won. Itaska was third followed by
Sweet Home and Volusia.
| The fourth race handicap also with Monitor
the fayorite, although he was carrying 126 pounds.
| The distance was d miles. Fair Count with IL
| pounds less weight defeated him. but only by .
| head after a desperate fnish and Monitor de-
| served the good opinion of his hackers BabcOck
was well thought of in this race, but he
ran like cart-horse with the collie. The other
starters were Malise and Baton Rouge, but they
| had nothing to do with the finish.
The fifth race the scandal Of the day. Four
ran-Slr Hugh Constantine MementJ and Godiva.
Sir Hugh held strong lead up to the last furlong
when he tired badly, and Constantine
almost overlook him. But she did
| not quite get there, and Sir Hugh'S head was in
front when they crossed the line No one outside
the judges stand had thought that the result WAS
| in doubt, and when COnstan, mas number went up
as the winner il caused rs much sur prise and wrath
as the famous decision in the WIthers Stakes
at Jerome Park in 1ss0. when Grenada
beat Ferncliff and the judges beat Grenada. The
crowd glared angrily at the judges while the im-
purturbable Mr. Withers, the unruiilcd Ilr. Carroll
.l,t,. al
Lawrence, who occupied the stand,
bcamed benignantly back at them. But
there was a lively little tempest after the
| Mr. Hunter on Vampire and Mr.. Holmes Hos
| podar made so close finish that opinion was di-
vided as to the winner, but the great majority
thought Vampire successful. When hospodar
was given the race there were hissings
and hootings, reviIines and threats and loud
| cries of fraud. Mr. Withers descended from tho
Judgment seat and bodily 10 the very centre OF
turmoil. Never popular man. he now had the pleas
uro of hearing some extremely uncCmpIimentary
remarks which did not to disturb
him in the least lie followed about
for a time by jeering mob. Probably
| there would have been no such dIscreditabe out
| break ii the verdict against Vampire had not como
Just at the heels Of the decision against SIR Hugh.
The TWO in short time proved too great stralns
Kitty Clark easily defeated Frank ShoG;, no
| Hunt and Mrs Chubbs in the Hurdle race.
