SPECTATORS MADE SICK.
They Could Not Bet, But Saw Fine
Racing at Jerome Park.


Racing at Jerome Park.
Special to the Globe
New YORK, June There was
tremendous crowd at the Jerome Park
races to-day. and the mutual and auc-
ton pool system was found wofully in
adequate. At least half the people were
unable to bet at all, because they could
not get their money in, and those who
had betted and won could not get their
money out. The few ScalperS who were
present charged all the way from %
cents to dollar for caShing tickets, and
thus lot OF money which would have
been betted remained idle. The indig-
nation and the disgust of the public at
being unable to speculate was intense.
The weather was fine, the track good
and the racing excellent. The feature
handicap. The PreakneSS stables
started two horses, Linden at 122
pounds and Belyidere at lis. Hayward
rode the former and Slayer the latter.
The stable declared to win with Belvi-
dere. The pair finished first and second
running away off, Linden being held in
to let Beividere win. The other start
erS were Exile, Richmond and Volante.
Inc latter was very highly thought of
by his stable, and lot OF money was
bet on him; so much so, in fact. that in
the mutuals he sold close up to the
PreaknesS pair. With the fall of the
flag Linden set out to make the running
for his stable companion, Belvidere, and
IN the first quarter gained lead of two
lengths, NOlante and Exile coming next,
running Tapped. This was the order
till the horses disappeared behind the
club house bluff. When they came in
sight again Linden had increased his
lead to three lengths, with Belvidere
second, three before Volante. They en-
tered the stretch in this order when
there was no danger for Belvi-
dere and pulled up. The result
was that Belvidere won by
a length, Linden second, six lengths in
front of NOlante, who beat Exile head
for third place and third money, which
was worth $50. For the opening dash
of five furlOngS for two-year-oldS, Miss
Cody was ii red-hot favOrite, Oregon
having been drawn on account of lame
ness. The filly could not run little,
but Diablo, who was the rank outsider
OF the quartet that started, led from start
to finish and won easily by length and
a half, with Miss Cody second, eight
lengths before Peregal. For the handi-
cap, at mile, Lady Primrose was the
favorite and won handily. though
Bigonette and Little Minnie were we'll
supported. Minnie made the running
for the first quarter when Bigonette
took 1T up, closely attended by Lady
Primrose, Golden Reel and Clay
Stockton. In the stretch Lady
PrInroSe came away and won
easily by half length, Bigonette
second, the same distance before CLAY
St0eHtnn who or 49,
end. Isaac Murphy did a magnificent
piece OF riding by winning the mile and
furlong by a head with Emperor of
Norfolk. Ordway made the running
with Brown Duke second. In the
stretch Murphy sent the Emperor I'D,
and through Brow II Duke swerved in on
MN, he won with the utmost ease by a
neck, Brown Duke second, three parts
of length before Ordway. Marsh Red
don was looked upon as good thing
for the selling race, but Ernest. who Law
we'll up with his horse and came with a
rush at the end, won cleverly bv a
length from the outsider. Nettler. The
Steeplecilase over the short course was
won cleverly by his stable companion.
Little Fellow, thanks to Mars good rid
ing.
