PIE THINK MONITOR WON.
There are some sad and solemn mysteries
about racing which grow more melancholy anu hPeho

Park on Saturday when the Judges coud noe see "ha
every one else saw that Lena had crossed the ilne
before Bancroft Another descended upon the same
spot Yesterday when the judges could not see Monitor

courses should never give way to popular clamor
OF course Judges decide finishes as they see them
no matter how dstasteful their decisions may
be but It IL plainly the duty Of those In control to take
all reasonable means for securing harmony between
Judges and spectators Something might he done IN that
direction by putting the judges stand ut Monmouth on
the same side OF the track with the grand sandas Is the
case at Jerome Park. The argument is sometimes put
forth sobery that long the upright and honorable
gentlemen who own the stables, run the horses aud
manage the raceoourses satisfied it Is of no conse

and honorable gentlemen want to race without punhc
support they will find 1t extremely costly expermen
To retain public support concessions may be necessa y
