RICE WAS uNPLACED.
The attendance at the Sheepshead Bay races yes
terday would have been at least four times as largo
as It actually was II the Copcy Island Jockey Clnb mad
taken more pains at this meeting and at previous
meetings to secure racing which should be at all tmcs
wholly free from suspicion. The card yesterday was
attractive and In spite Of the rainy morning many
more people woud have gone to the track II they lad
not been pcaed by Of the riding on other days
The executive committee OF this club IL made up OF the
most amiable, easy going kndhearted tolerant ana
uns,spicious gentlemen to be found anywhere. If

good-natured to take any action Look at the Major

Tournament case and Numoer OF other cases at TINS
meeting It is certain that the owners In some OK

Tournament case on Friday. for instance. FoXlnll
Keene was, Of course. extremely anxious 10 WIN lie
never runs a horse except with the hope OF winning,
and all his methods on the turf elsewhere are
honorable. But he made the mistake OF employing
Iambcy 10 ride Tournament Now It may be possible
that Lambley wanted 10 win with Tournament but he
did not ride as II that his wish and his purpose.
Every knows by this time that TO win with Tournar

him But Ianb,ev pull d tcrk d. yanked and tucged the
horse for a mile II he wished Ito hurl him to the

IL was not Investigated. And so OF number OF
other cases at tbs meeting. Now. as Abraham

but no one can fool all me people all the time 80
with wicked owners. trainers and jockeys, They
can fool some people part OF the time. but not

poet 8 tremendous falling of in attendance-exacty
what has occurred at this meeting.
Some Jockey club managers refuse TO see the most
obvious facts-but they will realize these truths when
they count up their gate receipts. Only corporals
lnard OF spectators was present at the races yester
day. 1t not the weather which kept people away
SO much the fact that effort had been made TO
investigate The astounding jockeyship which had
been shown In several races at this meeting. Garrison
was set down last year Why has no one been set
down this year, Plenty Of jockeys have deserved
setting down just as richly as Garrison did.
The principal race Of the day was that for the Great
Trial Stakes for two-year ods, worth more than
soo 900. The track deep In mud, and covered
with little pools of water. Gideon q Days colt, DR..
Rice was the favorite and all the faro-banks In New.
York and Long Branch had Grape their doors last
night Dr. Rice was not place at the end He was
very heavily backed all over the ring but probably the
mud did not suit him. DIR. Knapps colt. Sir Walter
winner of the Great American and Great Eclipse
Stakes came second in tie betting although he car
red seven pounds penalty and had 1o5 pounds on his
back Garrison rode him. Next In favor IN the bet
lingering was August Belmont's feet Gly, Lady
Violet. ridden by sims. Colonel Ruppcrts Ajax had
some friends, but he had been coughing all the week
and not conspicuous In the race. James
II. Kecne withdrew the St Blase-Belladonna
colt that had outrun Tournament In half
mile trial. and Foxha Keene started the colt by Mr.
Hckwick ont of Alice Bruce. This colt on June Fl,
ran poor third In the Foam Stakes at five iurlonSs
Lady Violet the Foam Stakes, Don Aonzo second
The Alice Bruce colts only race before that was IN
the maiden race SUBURBAN day, when he was
bad third to the Bliss colt and BelleGarde at hall
NILE His previous races certainly gave him no claim
even to q place in the Great Tfal, but by the con-
diions Of the race he carried only III pounds, whiie
Lady Violet carried 115 and Sir Waiter carried I'D
SO sir Walter giving him fourteen pounds ana
Lady Violet gave him seven pounds. The mud Jus;
suited the Alice Bruce colt and he won easily win
Lady Violet second and SIR Walter third.
Taking the weights into account, Lady Violet ran
the best race Of all the youngsters in the Great Trial.
and dry track, ut even weights, she ought 10
defest both the Alice Bruce colt and Sir Waiter Or.
Knapp's colt Sir Waller early bird, and he
caught the fat of the Great American and Great
Eclipse Stakes by early preparation and by lucky
dukes. He is not likely 10 win any more great
stakes. Neither his appearance nor his breeding gives
promise of further rich trumpbS on his part lie nus
