EURUS GETS THIRD PLACE ONLY.
GOOD RACING AT THE ELIZABETH TRACK OF THE
NEwJERsEY JOCKEY CLUB.
The sixth days racing Of tho New-Jersey Jockey
Club was marked, like the nth, By excellent sueno
anoe. good sport and much interest throughout tho
contests- 1t lucky day for Jockey dsrrsoh'
Recently he bought the Maxim colt ct the d. D.
Wlthers sale, and named him Text Text won the
first race at six furongs. and Garrison had backed
him freely. In the nth race Mephsto. the winner
ct an extreme outside price In the betting, was also
the property Of Garrison. Honors were NOT evenly
divided between avorftes and the outsiders, for only
two out Of six nrst choices Justified the hopes Oh
their followers. Volunteer, tho first choice N the
betting, badly defeated In the nrst race, but
Cracksman, The favorite In the secohd race, was
successful. 30 WAS servftor the favorfte IN the
third race. Eurs was the preferred one among tho
spectators for the fourth race but he was beaten
both by Maidstone and Reporter. Wild ana
senseless plunge was made In the nth nee on the
Dwyer Brothers Bush Bolt, but he came In second.
while Aephiso carried OF tho prize. In the last race
Little Jim, the fsvonte, got wretched start, and
was not first, second or third ut the finish.
A woful scarcity Of competent jockeys causes much
lamentation ct the Elizabeth track Taral Taylor,
Berger and some others have gone to Warrington.
Last week Mr. Caldwell set down three jockeys for the
meeting, and yesterday he put both Horton and Moore
the ground for the rest Of the year. Mr. Caldwell
s becoming tyrsnnical Everybody knows that JOCKEYS
are q tough lot, with some noteworthy exceptions
hany Of them such little ruhans that they require
the severest discipline. But Mr. Caldwell not only
cuts them to the bone with the tremendous fogg1ng
that he administers with his tongue but he Is 90
pitiless e. old Rhadamanthus himself In melting out
penalties to the wretched boys. He will seriously
embarrass the racing at Elizabeth II he continues to
suspend jockeys. There far too few Jockeys left
that know the q, b, Of sitting horse In
race and II Mr.. Caldwell does not show more eniency
the size Of the fields will be extensively
reduced In the remaining days OF the meeting
simply because II will be impossible for
to get boys to ride that know enough to stay
In the saddle and can keep themselves from pitching
over the horses' heads.
Volunteer, the favorte at odds In the first race,
ran badly. The finish was confined to Text and DR..
Hasbrouck, while Dalsyrian got third place. II was
reported that Volunteer short Of work. He has
been reported short OF work in a number Of races
this year which he ought to have won easily, and
1t might not be q bad idea for the judges or the
officers OF the club inform his trainer that he ought
to take more pains TO get the horse In proper con.
dton for O severe race hereafter before he starts
him. The feature Of this race was the excellent
