FRENCH PARK AND EMPEROR OF NORFOLK.

FRENCH PARK AND EMPEROR OF NORFOLK.
OWNERS SCARED AWAY BY THEIR SPEED
June is making amends for May, and no more en-

Proclamation may be regarde grotesque specimen
Of Mucyump irony The delicious air and the I'M
cloued sky encouraged great many people to 60 Out
TO Jerome Park, TO the races All sorts ana con-
dtons of men took the trip, including number OF
boobmakcrs, who whied away the hours with plump
and solid bets among themselves. 1t was reported
that Michael Dwyer bet with Of them 10000 to
81 600 that Emperor OF Norfolk would win the Bronx
Stakes This was certainty racing
affords, Raccland and Tea Tray having been with
drawn as both coughing. Perhaps It was only
racing rumor and Mr. Dryer may not have made
any such wager II he did, he without ever
feeling the least anxiety for the Emperor beat his
only opponents. Kentucky Ban and Donald, In
canter in slow time.
The bookmakers and their friends strainng every
nerve TO inture Jerome Park They use every argn-
mcnt which they command TO induce owners not
their horses there, although the prizes offered
arc tempting, all the purses being generous and the
added money for handlcaps and stakes ranging from

to think that they have charter to ravago and ruin
what they cannot control But they Will find out
their mistake, The race-goers class are sup
porting Jerome Park literally and are using the French
pool system freely. The boo)makers do not see that

clubs which prefer conduct their own business In
their way with proper regard for the rights of the
public they would provoke resolute sentiment which

The increased facilities FOR betting warmly
praised by all present. None of the crowdng and
jostllng of Saturday seen, and all comfort
and satisfaction in the betting ring. But among the
thousands in the grand stand much regret
pressed that Oregon could not start in the Sequence
Stakes and that both Raceland and Tea Tray were
absent from the Bronx. But coughing is prevalent
among the horses all the Eastern tracks now, and
few Of them really fit to run The detestable
weather of May sent epidemic Of throat and lung

Mr.. Withcls present and was much disguised

thought this colt fair youngster, but French Park
had him beaten in tho first ten yards and sauntered
home alone. J. B. Haggin, owner of the largest
breeding farm and racing stable in America, has
just East from California, but both he and his
son were kept from the course by pressure of bust

exceptions the old guard were out in force.
