STRAIGHT TRACKS DON'T GO.
The Old-Fashioned Oval Is Good
Enough for Americans.

The racing writer of the New York
Tribune, perhaps the most fearless and
able turf critic of the day, handles the
new Monmouth Park without gloves. He
says: ''Never has race course in any
country been so constant and rich
source of profit to the bookmakers as
the new Monmouth Park, with its won
derful straight tracks. 1t was predicted
with the most conspicuous emphasis
and assurance that when we had the
faultless and altogether admirable Eng
fish courses in this country there would
be no more strange variations of public
form: that horses would no longer be
-pocketed or interfered with; that the
best horses would carry off the pri yes,
and that the public, with united voice,
would join in the heartieSt acclaim
and approval of the plan of start
ing horses at Eatontown and running
them to Little Silver, with the contest
ing ANIMALS out of sight of the specta-
tors for nine-tenthS of the way, unless
these spectators were provided with the
most powerful and expensive field
glasses in the world. But for some in
applicable reason the expected results
have not been attained. There are
more singular and eccentric variations
of form at Monmouth than ever oc-
Gull GU USlOlc VII ally IoCO u dCh III 1ilO
world. The great mass of race-gOers
are mo1e profoundly bewildered daily
in the impossibility of getting the least
indication how horses will run in any
particular race from the manner in

1t may be that the somewhat unsettled
and uncertain condition of the surfaces
of the new tracks at Monmouth may ac-
count for some of these wild vagarieS,
but although there may be soft spots
here and there, modulations of con-

are any more dishonest at Monmouth
than they are at other tracks, but the
stoutest of AnglomaniacS, after the
thorough test which has been given to
the Monmouth course during July and
the first part of August, cannot venture
to claim that accidents and mishapS are
any less frequent, that peculiarities of
running are less marked and amazing,

that running is any truer, or that racing
is any higher or better in any way on
the straight tracks at Monmouth than
on the oval course at Brooklyn or at

running horses OH straight courses will
