IbpECIAL THE EVENING WOHLD'l
MORRIS PARK RACE TRACK, July lS.-The
rain Just knocked spots out OF the Monmouth
Park Associations fine programme at Morris
Park to-day. The track was converted into
big mud puddle, and nearly all OF the crack
racers were withdrawn as soon as the shower
set in.
Racing in the rain Is not at all pleasant at
Morris Park, though the huge overhangtng
roof made 1t possible for people to sit in the
front seats without fear OF getting wet once
in a while, though, gust OF wind would drive
shower into the front row, but those we're
at rare intervals.
The crowd was avery slim one. on account
Of the storm most OF the crowd came by the
new way over the Harlem Bridge via the
Second Avenue al" road and every one
kicked " himself, figuratiyely speaking for
doing so. There was delay after delay, and
the passage seemed interminable. Vast i'm
prOvements Will have TO be made In that sys-
TEN Of transportation.
Once at the track, however, all thoughts
were turned to the first race and its attend
ant speculation. Chesapeake was the favor
ite. his easy win at jerome Park and his
known liking for mud was the reason OF this
Correction was heavily backed, however, and
his supporters argued that Chesapeake could
not give him nineteen pounds and beating.
Arab had considerable support, and Kirk
over was fancied by many. The fayorite won
easily from Sleipner, who beat Correction Just
as easily.
Before the races at Norris Park to-day Col
=. d. Bruce sold at auction the entire stable
OF ChaS. Reed a. Sons, as well as drafts OF
yearlings from the Rancocas stud, @. W:
Chaplin and Others. The yearltngs brought
poor prices, and didn't average $500 head.
Reeds lot sold as follows: Walcott, ch. g.,
3, by Longton, dam Miss Dance, to J. NC
ester, dam imp. British Beauty, Boulevard sta
bles, S1,S26.
Patrick CHI. c., 3, by imp Mr.. Pickwick,
dam queen OF Hearts, s. A. Mahony 81, 900.
Take Back, b. c., by imp. Auscovy, dam
Emma, Chas. Smith, $4,000.
The Others brought small prices.
The second race was a good betting affair.
Nearly every horse in the race was supported
more or less. Atrplant was the favorite, and
was strongly supported because OF his ability
TO negotiate the going. PatrimOny colt was
a good second choice, with the Cadence colt
close third choice.
Morris's stable had lots OF backing and Hell
Gate was not neglected The race resulted
in pretty finish between Mars, Cadence colt
and Fremont, the three finishing necks apart
as named.
EOn was n hot favorite for the thiru race,
and was heavily played by plungers. The
McLewees' stable coupled were second choice,
and so there was no chance for this stable to
dump the public by winning with the long
shot. Castalia was well played l, ., 3, as was
WoOdcutter.
Eon galloped in and showed that he was a
great horse. The time shows that II was n
fast race, considering the heavy going. The
McLewrcs stable, Judge Post and san Juan,
finished second aud third as named.
Marty Bergen has been suspended indel-
nitely for misconduct ut the post at Jerome
In the soho race on Thursday last.
