JOCKEYS RIDING ODDLY.
STRANGE WORK AT sHEEpsHEAD BAY.
THE PECULIAR PERFORMANCES OF PURCELL

sHAUFR AND UNBELIEVABLE sIAhis.
The Coney Island Jockey Club races yesterday lett
bad taste in the mouth of every honest man preseV
There was so much that was peculiar and unpleasant
about them that it will benefit the turf to have them
frcotten "a soon rs possible. In the first place the
starting was nexcusably bad, blunder following
another No such stupid bungling has been seen on
racetrack before this year. But the races themselves
were worse than the starts. In the first Bnghtoh

Glenullen In the second boy called Purcell
rode the DIVER colt Richmond in way that should
make it impossible for him to ride another morse
from that stable or any other third Shauer
handled Aranza in that should insure his I'M
mediate elimination from Pierre Loriliards stable The
steepechasc was so plainly tainted with fraud that the
iudges ruled OFF Lynch the rider of Tom Maven. But
why they felt called upon to be with this par
ticular case when it is matter of common notoriety
that most sccplechases at this and other courses are
conceived in sin and brought forth in niquy does not
clearly appear.

The DIVER brothers put Purcell on their colt Richmond
in the second race. Exile was a strong favoTte why
was this when Richmond easily outran Exile few days

Dryers had money Exile There is no proof oil

lowed Exile to pass Richmond in the homesretch in
most pecular way II may have been merely clumsi-
ness on mis- part but he has ridden well before Tax
inc all the circumstances into account the believer IN
that bows honesty must have the charity which
suffereth long and Is kind.
And Shaucrs riding Of Aranza in the third race needs
the biggest and broadcast mantle of charity 10 cover

isfed with it, il does moi take much to satisfy him.

Mounds sbe WAS beaten at the same distance by
fourtb-class animal in 2:15. That signifies nothing
Aranza might run mile in 1:42 one day and refuse TO
run faster than 1:4S the next day The signhcant
