Riley and the PIuGky
Maidstone Made a
Great Finish.
DENUTH'S LITTLE SURPRISE.
Racers tha! Pulled Up Lame
Tenny at ShespShead.

The racing at Morris Park yesterday was
interesting and exciting enough to please the
most eXacting person who ever visited race
course. The main feature OF the sport was the
desperate nnish between Maidstone and Riley
IN which noth horses were on even terms from
the last sixteenth unil the last jump, and
harder battle was never seen on a race-track.
Each jockey rode as II life depended upon his
getting to the line hrst, and with wnIp and
spur they urged the nying steeds on. Riley
got his nose In front in the last jump, but 1t
WAS as hard a tusse as that Western colt ever
had, and It stamps Maidstone as good enough
to be run IN any company.
The addition OF Morriss pair in the selling
handicap was severely commented upon by
| owners VINO had entered their norses thiuking
they had a cnauce Of picking up fair purse,
| AMI they showed their displeasure by scratch
ing their entries until there were but two OF
the original ten left to take the dust from
Ilntnguante and Terrlner.
There was also some grumbling among own
| ers over the announcement made by Secretary
Crickmore tnat the d lth race on the hook pro-
