An AFTERNOON OF CHEAP FIELDS.
vnnsFs OF HIGH QUALITY RUSNING-SoME
NOTABLY POOR RrnING

NOTABLY POOR RIDING.
"a w,s ANYTHING but cool at Jerome Park yester-
narnoon but in the absence Of other racing
- ,bsn Saratoga and Gloucester several train
-, a, specrators went TO the track. and they
= tra,ns too. IL was fitting programme for
70. which Is additionally day of lean fare. Not
-. horse ran in any of the six that is worth
% nut although the fields were of poor Qcalty.
-, all Of Eiem we're satisfactory In size. and the
N-....s turnished some hilarious incidents
~, instance II intensely amusing almost as
,t,ns as De Wolf Hopper in Wang" or Digby Bell
y am. Tar and the Tartar TO watch the riding Of
.-y ALI the jockeys in the second race excepting
,n,cv the rider Of the winner, and perhaps one
= ,uo others, whose horses had no earthly chance.
or, Bsr-en Oh 'orageuss Taylor on Pagan, A. COvng
-, m Sir George. and one two Others rode their
.onnts with all the Skill grace and judgment of pace
,hat the clown IN the circus displays when he is on
~ hack Of the trick mule. Bergen rode orageuse rs
=, As were Kin gstOn, and was beaten by head as ne
seservod TO be. How this boy, who rides so many
.r-spdged and excellent races, could blunder
rrausely with the FLY. keeping her far be
nnd the leaders, and making his from
40 great distance and too late,
passes comprehension. Pagan IS a difficult horse to
rSe and much straighter truer and faster with
xelter weights, and powerful jockey up, than with
hsh weights. AT Morris Park the Fourth of July,
pagan with 125 pounds up. and ridden by McIaugh-
Nm. was less than length behind LOngStTeet in
1zaI4 and LongstFcet ridden out. Pagan can
DO AZ well any time, If nden by a robust, muscular,
arriving Jockey. but Taylor has shown again and again
hat he cannot get his speed out Of him. II Mr..
roriuard really hoped win the with Pagan. it
Vas folly 10 put Taylor up. Lambey instead OF Tay-
or rode Mr. LorIar1's Kilkenny IN the fourth
nee and got second place. Taylor has been riding
sery far below his previous form since Bewood threw
hin at Morris Park, giving him severe shock.

from Mr. witherss Julletta lly. who was carelessy
