RED-LETTER DAY.
Thursday next will be the red-letter day
OF the associations meeting. and an en0r-
nous attendance should be present, If the
track and weather are favorable, To see the
race between Porter Ashes fving mare
Geraldine and T. II. Williams fast colt
Rinfax. NaTvaez viii probably ride RinfaX
and Hart Geraldine Both have shown up
so well at the meeting that it will be hard TO
select the winner and very close race can
be expected. Both sides are very sanguine,
but taking into consideration Geraldlne'S
weIl-known flight OF speed, which her per
Torrance the other day showed that she has
fully retained, the post odds will probably
be in her favor If RiniaX can defeat her

THE RICH BURNS STAKES.
The Buns stakes with its liberal added
money of $500, besides fat entrance and
forfeit fee, will, however. really be more ln-
terestlng than the short scurry between the
above tW0-named rivals. The distance is
one and three-Quarter miles. and as there
will probably be field OF eight or nine
entries. it should be horse race from end
to end. With such horses as tycoon, Mari
gold, Noretta, kylo, Sheridan, Hotspur,
Terry, Naicho B and possibly Livingston,
Larghetta, Blanca, Munster and Duke of
MilDltas to face the flag, the contest Will be
of the greatest interest. There is plenty Of
blood in the list that can 90 the route, and,
although they did not show up so far very
well, what better lOng-distance strains can
be asked for than Mariguld bV Miner KATY
Pease, Tycoon by Reveile- MarGeTy and
NOrettO by Norfolk Ba linette. HOtspur has
Joe Daniels and Wildidle blood to sustain
him, and for staying qualities the imported
Darebin and Mariposa strains in Munster
cannot be exeelled. Larghetta by Jlls john
son is not TO be deSpised, nor Is Sheridan by
Young Bazaar. Terry has shown that he is
as game as pebble. and kylo will not dis
grace his sire, imported Cyrus. II he would
only act decently at the post, nothing has
any license 10 beat the Duke of Milpitas by
Duke OF Norfolk, but his temper is much
against him.
ESCAPED FELINEs.
It is only after the horse has been stolen
that the insecurity of the stable lock is dis
covered. The recent tidsl-wave of adverse
public opinion to the pOol-roOmS that has
swept the country from East to West. COM
Polling such legislation that closed up the
rooms in dOuble-quick order, has had also
the effect of letting large number of cats
out of the betting bag Among the recently
released felIneS, the large Iom-cat that
Superintendent Byrnes of New YOrk-per-
off aial
in the world-let loose, Is quite an interest
ing animal.
Superintendent Byrnes, since the pool
rooms have been closed in New York, has
freely expressed his sentiments concerning
racing as it is generally carried on in the
East
ROTTEN THROUGHOUT.
He has had no hesitancy in openly and
fully declaring that racing in the East is rot
ten from TOP to bottom, and that it is now
not carried Oh only as popular public
amusement but simply as a means for
gamblers to rob the public in the most sys-
tematic fashion. The Superintendent ac-
cGses the well-known racing men, the Dwyer
brothers, of the most questionable practices,
aud gives full details. He also states that
thousands and thousands of dollars have
been used by even the largest and, sup
posed, most honest of the Eastern jockey
clubs, in bribing legislators and securing
such legal action as suited them best he
also gives names, dates and amounts in this
connection. ALI the leading newspapers in
New York, from April l4th on, have de-
voted several columns daily to what In
spector Byrnes had to say, and his revela-
tfons have caused the greatest excitement
not alone in racing, but in all classes Of the
community.
EMINENT HoRsEMEN
He gives the records Of number of lead
ing owners who have been improving the
breed Of thoroughbred horses by racing
their valuable animals at the winter New
Jersey tracks, especially at Gutenberg.
1t is an amazing revelation, and shows what
fearful odds were against those who bet
their money on pool-roOm races. Not alone
did the buok-makers always receive the first
track information as TO odds, jockeys, non
starters, condition oil the track and other
news OF which they could avail themselves
before the public knew anything about
them, all strong factors against the public's
success but the public actually wagered
their money on the mistaken ana idOtic
belief that they would be given an honest
race when such men as Superintendent
Byrnes describes pulled the wires and quite
incidentally the horses.
This is what Superintendent Byrnes says,
and 1t will, or ought to, open wide the eyes
of thousands who WageTed their money in
The poOl-TOoms.
ENvIABLE RECORDS.
Here are few Of the men now running
Tace-hOrses on the turf;
For instance, there is Dick Liddell. He
owns a stable and runs horses, but it was
not so very long ago that this model of So
ciety was q member of the notorious Jesse
James gang. Since the Superintendent
made the above statement Lddell has been
arrested for murder committed by him in
Missouri in 1880.
Then there is Billy Barick. He is another
eminently respectable hoTseman. When |
knew him in a business way he was buncO-
steerer. His picture adoTns my Togues'
gallery.
The Eext reputable horseman is Mr.. Jerre
Dunn, an ex-convict and murderer He
killed Jimmy Elliott, who was a prize
fighter ana a thief.
Then there is "Sheeny" Kahn, a gold
brick crook. Two of my detectives arrested
him few months ago and be was held on
$500 bail He, too, has race-horses at Gut
tenberg.
is offended at what have said about racing
roRuery. He formerly conducted a gamb-
ling den and house Of ill-Iepule ON the east
side.
The next think of is J. II. Cohn. He
was ruled off the Saratoga track, yet seems
good enough for New Workers.
Jimmy Shields is another He was ruled
of at Monmouth for fraud in connection
with his own horses and other mems
jockeys.
Ali these men have large stables racing at
GutteDterg as the daily entry lists will
fully prove. have many more on my list
which you can have If necessary.
These statements Of the Inspector were
published in the New York HERALD, Trib-
une, Times and Sun of April 10th last.
