eagerly sought by many thousands OF people. A. F.
Walcott had ample reason Ia congratulate himself on
The success OF the opening day of the new admin

proportions but the people who went down T. the
course were gatGcd by the diversion which was
nroyidcd and they were enthusiastic over the trans

extent and excellence Of its railway facilities Long
trains Of the most sumptuous parlor went down

Central and Pennsylvania lines and they went through

the Inst race was over, these long trains brought

managers OF other railroads that carry passengers

IT Is well worthy OF their emulation Only one
criticism is TO be made to-day. The Jersey Central

connections with these fast racing express trains apu

But although the surface was dry there was moisture
beneath which made some spots slippery The mum
her of SCRATCHES was painfully large. The fields
were really slaughtered by Withdrawals and yet IN
most OF the races horses enough left in to supply
interesting and well-fought contests. Some OF the
Jockeys were sadly ut loss the long, broad straight
stretches Of the Monmouth tracks and drifted about
with their mounts like rudderless ships at sea Inc
fact that they riding in exactly the reverse oirec

their difficulties but long they will overcome Their
