The rains Of the early morning made the Morris
Park track sloppy, and caused many Withdrawals

,,ng was the scene of marked activity Up 10 yes
,erday the bookmakers had been obliged TO take
stands for four or five days not at all, but this
time the Brighton Beach plan Of letting the book
makers so on for ono day only adopted. The
result was that no less than eighty stands were
occupied at 800 each for the afternoon In previous
drawings the number hsd ranged between forty and
sixty but forty-one and forty-two stands had been
the limit for two or threc of the contracts. 1t will
he interesting 10 note how many of the eighty will
remain through this week. Most OF them had a
urohtable day. Only the feebleminded bookmaker
could fall TO make money on the races Of the after
noon. in nearly all of them, not all, sufficient
number of horses was backed to enable the profes-
aonal pencillers to make what is called round

Reckon won the West End Hotel Stakes in canter.
The Monmouth Park book says that 81 500 added,
as usual this stake by the West End Hotel at Long
Branch. This was certainly liberal OIL the part of
the West End Hotel, since the race at Morris
Park and the hotel could get no benefit from it.

Frenzi was beaten at jerome Park by exactly
the same sort OF injudicious riding The result was
that TERRIER won at his ease, English Lady second.
English Lady fell at Monmouth Park last year in
an important stake and has never won race since.
Mr. Buck paid $4,000 for her.
OF course Colonel Hall and Mr.. Sands expressed
their honest convictions TO the start in the Railway
Handicap, but they may be mistaken, like other
people, Certainly the spectators thought it one of the
worst starts seen for many day.
