- can never appear crowded with. ANYTHING less
.r,n q suburban throng. Expressions of admiration
n6 delight were every lip. The place has been
transformed in appearance and attractiveness since
,st october Members Of the club came out in great
,orce and nut into the waImest words OF praise their
qualification the handsome edifce which John A.
Morris had built for their and enjoyment, and in
which the benignant and gracious Nelson had spread
many inviting things for their deectauon. In all the
arrangements the work of q master spirit and master
band felt, and John A. Morris and his son and
associate. Alfred H. Morris congratulated heartily
on every side for their remarkable achievements With
such grand stand, such clubhouse, such grounds
and such racing, how could the spectators fail to spend
an afternoon OF pleasure. II the air was hot
Colonel Frank Hall on hand fulfilling the duties
Of his Office starting judge, representing the Boau
Of Control. Upon the official programme was the an
nouncement that William II. sands and Frederick Hoey
would go to the starting post alternate days. Mr.
Sands and Mr. Hoey will represent the Jockey club
With this double supervision OF the work OF the starter
and the behavior Of the jockeys, some owners VIII have
less cause for complaint concerning the starting IMAM
they had at Gravesend. David Gideon especially was
treated badly at the Kings County track and is hkey 10
fsre better hereafter. Colonel Hall Is admirably
equipped for the important duties which he has assumed
by his long experience, thorough knowledge OF racing
laws and Of starters jockeys and horses ana also DE
his amiable and judicial temper AS for NJ sahus anu

Mr. Morris's imported FLY L1ntriguante was the

unable to stay ont the mile and furlong, ana
NIasterlode won L'Intriguante second. MasterlOue
was an outsider in the betting. Cassius being second
choice but he plainly IN no condition for hard
race for he showed no speed and ought not TO nave

L. ]. Roses colt Nomad who had been second to
St. Florian twice, and ridden by Garrison was a
strong favorlte for the Harlem Stakes, and won with
plenty in hand. VeStibule gocd-loOking brown colt
from RaDcocas, son of Emperor out of Vestala, was
second and f. J. Baldwins GulindO was third. Mr.
Morris did not start imported Faunvete, OF whom good
reports were aHsat and Prohibition, fine, big sturdy
fellow, by Reform, out Of laquena, did not run up
TO his appearance. Mascot, who was rumored to be
very fast died away to nothing in the last furlong

last FIVE minutes of the betting the fourth race,
Charles Reeds FLY Reilly was first choice. Then such
a rain of money peted the bookmakers that in

for the colt. He could have by twenty lengths.
Rey del Rey has been beating Clarendon constantly in
their work together. and Mr. McLewee has backed him
freely each time that the colt has run this year Some
thing mysterious allied him at Gravesend, but now the
chrysalis has burst his SHE'LL and Rey del Rey will be
looked on thoroughly dangerous in any race until
his measure is fully taken by better horse.
