piungers have been suffering grievously. Yesterday
crowned the climax. Every one Of the six favortics
vanquished. and every bookmaker In the ring
went home with happy heart and a heavy pocket.
The professional spectators who occupy stands have

The pet name by which Littlcfeld, the Jockey, Is
known in the betting ring is the favorite killer"

winners Of the first four races. He did not WIN by
any skill or merit, for he is very poor rider But
he had the good luck to be on four horses that were

Some Of the lightweight jockeys induleed in some
wickedy foul riding yesterday. and bumped into the
mounts of other jockeys in manner that should have
brought severe punishment upon them. But this club

and appears to be wholly Indifferent as to how much
foul riding jockeys may do. II has the most serene
