QUARTERSTRETCH NOTES.

The judges thought that Garrison ought to have
ridden DR.. Hasbrouck out in the race for the An
cpation Stakes, and he called into the stand to
explain why he did not do So His excuse was that
Reckon was running so easily that he had no chance
of beating her, and in Furnishing his
mount. He had bet, he asserted $50 Of his money
on the Doctor and intimated that that would have ip
duoed him to win, if winning were possible
The judges meant we'll in calling Garrison to ac-
count, they probably knew the publics money was
on Dr. HasbrOuck but their right to inquire officially
into the matter is open 10 serious question SO long
as no declaration made by the owner OF Reckon
and DIR. Hasbrouck what difference did 1t make which
of the two finished in front? The stable won both
first and second money and accomplished its object in
starting the two youngsters, and If the public followed
its own nose in selecting Dr. Hasbrouck as the winner
the failure of Dr. Hasbrouck the publics mis-
fortune There ought to be rule requiring an owner
who starts more than horse in a race To de-
clare which he intends TO win with. few owners
with sincere regard for the welfare of the betting
community make such declaration voluntarily, but
the majority never think of such thing.
Garrison's statement that DR.. Hasbrouck could not
beaten Reckon strictly true, but II Is absurd
to suppose that the Doctor could not have won the
race. To accomplish this it was only necessary for
Littlefed to pull up and there could have been no
danger In doing that Hasbrouck had the rest Of the
field effectually beaten.
Park meeting has been the really excellent selections
given by Lander's band each of the principal race
days. The style in which this we'll chosen company

like enthusiasm.

Knott and English Lady are placed IN the Suburban. the
writer knows a that Will eat them both.
