RACING AT GRAVESEND.
SECOND DAY OF THE sEoRETIvE POLICY.
BUT PIERRE LoRILLARD is FRANK AND CANDID
TO THE STARTER

10 THE STARTER.
II was not remarkably lively and exciting day
Gravesend but there were some agreeable features
The weather OF the finest the stariing was salts
factory incidentally better than en- the first two days
of the meeting and there much less njudlcious
and idiOtlc riding than Monday and Tuesday. In
fact most Of the jockeys their good behavior
both at the post and in their riding throughout the
races. SO much pointed criticism had been published
of the performances of a number of the riders that
some of the boys evidently in fear of condign
punishment, either from the starter from the officers
OF the club.
One unpleasant incident occurred which was wholly
the fault OF the starter, who lost his temper loss
which happens frequently. He went up to Pierre
Lorillard and asked him If 1t was true that he had
said that he intended to take his horses away from the
track 4 he could not get fair starting. Mr. Lorillard
told him emphatically that he had said Then,'
reioned Mr.. Caldwell, you can take them away II
you like. We don't need them here. We can get
along without your horses"
This was an amazing remark for paid employe
of the club, not an officer Of the organiza-
ton, clothed only with authority to start
horses and having voice in the management to
OF the foremost turfmen who ever lived, the only
American owner of a winner Of the English Derby.
Mr. Lorinard naturally incensed and he did not
his opinion of him (which not fatering one) and
assured him that IL he CaldwelD desired to mahe an
Issue with him he Caldwelll would find him prepared
for it, He added that he intended to his horses
at the track both that day and oday. and deed Cald
well 10 leave any one Of them at the post. He said
other things that 1t could not have been pleasant for
Mr. Caldwell 10 hear but the starter appeared TO be
conscious that he had already been most indscreet in
his utterances and received the verbal noutlng with
some show Of meekness
Later President Dwyer apologized to Mr. Lorillard
for Mr. Caldwels language and said that the starter
wf..d 10 raaEf FOR Tho nnh
1t is certain that starter but this would ever
have ventuIed to address such Language gentleman
of Pierre LoHllards Importance and influence on the
turf But we all remember the magnificent assurance
with which Louis the XIVth remarked Il am the
state and there appears to be to suspect
that this starter is filed with conviction that might
be put In these words, " am the Turf"
Not nearly so many people were present as on Mon
day. and more serious and general dissatisfaction
was expressed with the holding back Of the entries
The poolrooms have been completely crushed by this
plan but IL is crushing nearly all the pleasure out Of
racing II it is continued long fail to ALLEVIATE
