All the Racing Interest Now Cen.
tered in the East.
Large Sums Ara D:sbursed to Winning Own.
ers at Brooklyn-Morris' Great Stable
Of Crack Youngsters.

| the year, of any local racing the main in
| terest of horsemen is directed to the East
ern races. where both running and trotting
| meetings Of the highest class are now in
| progress.
Brooklyn closed its spring meeting last
| Saturday week, and the Eastern turf jour
mails are full of interesting details For the
thirteen days of the meeting the added
money figured up S97,6S5, and the total
sum raced for, including stake and other
entry money, made over S175,0G0, that was
divided between the siXty-fve winning
owners. Seventy-nine races were run and
34S different horses took part in them.
THE MORRIS PLUMs.
j. A. and A. III. Morris were the leading
winners, with S43, $50, mainly won by that
Al two-year-old colt Russell. whose Great
| American stake and other victories alone
brought in S2l,9O5. G. Walbaum won
| $15,310, and the Dryers, whose fiiers once
| once swept the board, carrying stakes and
handicaps off at will. had only S5615 to
offset their heavy expenses. The Hearst
stable received $1,000 for Tournaments S
second. Burllngton's two clever wins re-
turned S7965 to Hough Brothers. and this
good colt stands second to Russell in the
winning list of starting horses.
BOTH ARE BROKE.
| AT this same meeting a curious state of
| things is noted in the same papers, and
| that is that both book-makers and the gen.
eral public lost heavily. The bulk of the
money won went into the hands of a few
| heavy spectators, such as j. 5. Campbell,
| Pittsburg Phi and others, who are said to
| have taken out of the ring nearly S50O,O
| Add to this sum the track revenues, trans
nOrtatiOn and nearly 81. OtO- 600 has
| been taken out of the public,s pockets-the
main source of support of all racing. The
suspicious riding in many races and the
| silly attempt to prevent the public from
| expressing its opinion as to JOBS and roDS
| have made the Dwyer Brothers, who man
| age the track, very unpopular, and the pub
| lie Will probably make them feel how they
| regard their management by heavy de-
| crease in the attendance of the fail meeting.
PROTECT THE PUBLIC.
| II race track managers could only once
| begin to understand that the pubic'S inter-
| ests should be their first and most imp0r-
tant ca Q, they would gain Immensely in the
| end. The public is long uffering and stands
remarkably well to De robbed and incon-
venienced Tor long time, but inevitably
| reaction comes. and then g0od-by TO the
success of the track where robbery is pei
mltted and objections to being Swlndled
| are attempted 10 be suppressed.
| During the past week the racing at West
chester has been, if financially again disas-
| trous to the public, very brilliant. Gener-
| ally speaking, the favorites have been badly
| beaten, and i'll many cases the boOk-makers
! have had clean sheets over good number
| of racers. On the week they should be big
| winners.
MORRIS CRACK COLTS.
| The Morris two-year-olds have kept up
| their reputation, and added nearly all the
| valuable two-year-uld stakes of the week to
| their credit. A fortune could most easily
have been won this spring by following
| this stable, now the leading one in the East.
Russell is the best one shown yet by the
! stable, and is claSSed by good Judges as
superior by from seven to ten pounds to
| any other two-year-old yet. His breeding
| -Eolus- Tillie Russell-is not supposed to
! be of hrst-class staying quality. but he Is SO
vastly superior to his brothers and sisters
! that anything can be expected Of him.
Russell is another example of the old say
| ing if you want good two-year-old buy
! cheap one" He only cost the Morrises S625
as a yearling. Russell is in the great
Eclipse stakes, sweep OF $3.50 each. half
forfeit, with $4,000 added, six furl0ngs, to
| he run next Saturday. Unless the Morrlses
have better one, Russell is most likely TO
win this valuable prize also.
LOTS MORE OF THEM.
The stable, however, has such large
number of not yet shown up two-year-olds
| to draw on that IL is possible Russell may
of the lot has not yet come to the surface.
| A few days ago five fresh ones we're sent to
| Westchester to be added to the string.
They are Key West. brother to Firenzi:
| Westchester, half brother to Fremont;
| Two Lips; Nitroguante; Compassion and
| Fresco Key West, Two Lips and West
| Chester are the pick OF the new arrivals.
HEARST WINS A RACE.
There must be something wrong with the
| Hearst stable. Actually Mat Allen has at
last won a race. On Thursday Cleaning
! won the Elms stakes at Westehester,
one aud an eighth miles. in 1:57
| On Saturday King Thomas ran second,
and Tournament third. Perhaps Allen
| may win another race this week, II
the hoodoo can be averted for day or
| two. Baldwin also has broken the ice, tax
! ing the Ladies stakes at WestcheSter on
| Tuesday, with Sinaoa IL Barnes rode the
| filly, who started at good odds.
GLAD IT is OVER
| Latonia, whose better name should be
| Ladronia or Robbers koost. closed its meet
ing, to the great relief of a swindled public.
| last Saturday. Riley, the winner of the
Kentucky Derby and Clark stakes, owned
| by the notorious Ed Corrigan, was again
| defeated, when such hot favorte that the
books refused to take money on him at to
3. This time Palisade, rank sec0nd-class
| selling platter, beat HIM. IL would be gen.
eral blessing to long-suffering community
| if the Latonia track was plowed up and its
! association dissolved.
| PREFERS THE sTRAIGHTs.
| Pierre Lorllard, the well-known Eastern
| racing magnate, is strongly in favor of only
starting good two-year-olds over straight
| tracks. Hereafter he Will only race his
| over straight courses like Westchester,
| Coney Island and Monmoth Park. He
| believes that true run races cannot be had
on tracks with turn, and thinks that all
| races of mile or onder should be run over
fsvlr H. Ill nr1
to build n straight three-quarters at his
Rancocas training grounds.
UNLUCKY ROYAL BLooDs.
England's aristocracy, including the
| Prince of Wales and one of his promising
sons, fell with great splash into the mock
turtle last Wednesday, when the sure and
| certain winner of the English Derby,
Surefoot, was defeated by Sainfoin and
LIE Nord. A stronger favorite than Sure
| foot has hardly ever before gone to the
! post for the classic event, and the Docks,
Hearls and other high-rollers will have to
slap on further mortgages to pay the jubl-
liant book-nlakers. It is reported that Sain-
foin was tried before the race and found
| wanting by his owners, who were only too
glad to sell him to supposed ;" sucker ="
| "a new titled accession on the turf-fOr
| $4,000 and half of the stake. 1t is said
that SO sure were they that Surefoot would
win that they bet the money they received
| for SainfOin on SurefOot, and so accom-
| panied His Royal Highness and the rest of
the nobility in their souse into ithe soup.
