Monday with a vengeance at Jerome
Park. There were less than 1000 per-
sons in attendance. The feminine race
goers were huddled together in the
stand, and the men sought the protec-
ton of the betting paddock. The sloppy
condition of the track caused wholesale
Withdrawals, and resulted in compare
lively small fields.

Lemon. Deception. Bill Barnes. The jockeys
guyed the starter, j. B. Ferguson, and acted
disgracefully towards him. Finally he be-
came so indignant because Of their conduct
that he dashed the flag in front of the start
ing post while the horses were strung out tor
NEARLY 100 yards. The start was, Of course,
Illegal, and had to be made over again. De-
eeption came in first in the technical break
away. but Refund won the legal race with

almost dark, and there was no lack of eX-
element among the spectators 1t Is under
stood that the executive committee will take
action against some of the jockeys to-mor-
row. Starter Ferguson discharged two Of
his assistants.
