State, but the management was something
dreadful 10 think of, and race after race

IN AND OUT RUNNING.
The weeks racing at Saratoga and Mon
mouth las been more uncertain than ever
even in such contradictory racing year as
this has been. Every Eastern paper OF
note is very outspoken about the in ana
out running and freely riddles the jobs and
Iobs that have been perpetrated. with the
present era of rampant dishonesty, most OF
the reputable large owners OF stables ID tie
East are SO disguised that il is stated most
OF them intend retiring from the turf ana ana
leaving such people as w. c. DAILY ana

racing men of the country. The cry Tor
reform. honesty and justice is raised daily
and n. Y. Spirit Of the Times writer asks:
Are the Turf reople great readers? Are they

about the burglar work that is alleged 10 be
going on at the various tracks of the country?

WILL RACE SEPARATELY
1t is announced in the East as positive
fact that tie famous racing firm of the
Dwyer Brothers Will he dissolved this fail.
All the best horses will be divided between
the brothers and the rest sold. 1t is stated
that the heavy and unsuccessful plungjng
Of Michael DWyer caused the dissolution,
and Philip fearing financial ruin thought
II best for separate racing stables to be
started. Eatrles in the brothers separate
courses have been made by them for the
coming seasons racing The brothers
have been unexceptionally unlucky this
year. Not one of their horses, except Sir
John, has proved of any value. 1t was
very different in former years, for then
race after race was won by them. In 1876
the firm commenced racing, and up to last
year had the most phenomenal success
They owned The best horses on the turf
and barely knew what defeat meant. But
the only sure thing about luck is that it
will turn, and this year has fully demon
