SCOTT HAS BIT OF LUCK.
The last day of racing at Monmouth Park was
marked by an extremely large attendance and eX
eclicnt sport Perfect weather and good track In
fire condition grstifed all lovers Of racing, and
although marvellous time recorded the thor
oughbreds did smart work in the various con-
tests
McCarty deserves praise for the energetic way IN
which he rode Blue Rock in the first race. lie
did not remit his efforts for instant. If he had
not ridden Mr.. GRATIS colt for every stride In the
last hIrong, Climax, who came with a great rush
al the end, would have caught him.
Mr.. Caldwell missed one superb opportunity in
the Carteret Handicap, when all the running
horses apparently in motion, and on fair terms.
His excuse given afterward that Mr.. Withers's
Cyclone colt not in motion. This could not be
discerned from the grand stand. After this
oversight there tedious delay and Livonia ana
the Fan Fan colt wore themselves out In series Oh
breaks in which both ran long distance. When thc
rag finally fell to fair start Out not nearly so good
q one as that which overlooked Gregory and the
Fan Fan colt did lofty running for five furionss
but both quit badly in the remaining furlong, and
Chaos won easily, with Padshah second and Livonia
third. Mr.. Scott had declared 10 win with Bou-
Quet If he could and chaos was at all sorts
of extrsvagant outside prices. 1t was
ever reported that At one time 100 to could be Cd
80 and 40 against him by little research N the
betting ring. 1t true race, for the long
delay at tho post ruined form and set everything a"ry
Garrison rode Padlshah In his best style, ana IL was

colt that secured second place.
Defauler the favorite at odds on for tho uniru

Jersey Salvador would have beaten them, for he out

Salvador is colt that only runs well when ne IS

never dangerous.
Firenz found the track perfectly TO her liking, and
won the fourth race so easily that Mclaughlin had
20 pull her back to the Others. and she was jumping
all over the course the finish, full OF running
was she. But 1t certainly lamentable error 10

as much muciagc and glue in IL as
ON Champion Day. and one not TO be defended. After
she had shown her total helpessness, her absolutely
crippled condition on the heavy, holding track upon
which the Champion was run. it was surely indie
feasible to start her on the same sort

Now such variations Of form this can never make
racehorse a stable popular. If Firenzi cannot run
except on hard, fast elastic track don't ever start
her on a Deep soft, dense and retentve one.

Old COnnemara sulked like Theirs when the General
Assembly in France opposed his wishes. This vicious
mare ought be retired. Her temper is unspeaksbl>
You all remember De Wolf Hopper's pathetic song

episodes of his remotely resembles the late

The last race for two yearolds, went 10 Sam
Morse and the big crowd dispersed, heartily glad that
1t all over and that they would see no more of
Monmouth Park this year.
So say We all OF us.
