Monmouth Park was amazingly cool yesterday
afternoon In comparison With the scared scorched
and blistered city. The breezes %S'cb blew through
the grand stand brought comfort on their WINGS ana
the tremendous thunder-showers Which fell In the
oonrse OF the afternoon still further lowered the
tempeiature, and left the track SEE Of mud. II

Med Monmouth truly q place OF refreshing
and healing for those sorely stricken by the ap-
palling severity of the heat.
Kingston had q wakover In the Orange Stakes, as no
owner cared horse against him in his present
form at the weights. But the Orange is not stake OF

yorkytIle BELLE was added as a starter In the Com

his friends as to the exact difference in weightcarry

August and he established the Comparative stakes In
order to throw more light on the subject. In this
race olds carry 100 pounds he same weight

carry only 10, one pound less than scheduled
weight The distance Is mile and quarter

that race did him good.
most unfortunate feature OF Yesterdays racing
WAS the singular riding Of Midgey on Sir Matthew In
the first race and Kideer, In the fifth race. The
hackers Of Sir Matthew were not at all satisfied with
his style Of riding. Midgley did not seem to care
where he came in. and Sir Matthew was bad last
II Is certain that this not Sir Matthew's true
form as a Splinter. On Tuesday, In the last race
Mdaey rode Kirsch who. according to the MONMOUTH
Park timers holds the worlds record at mile made
In an sots,aI race-1 1881 in most extraordinary man.

terday by . couple Of lengths II he had not been
guilty Of the most amazing suphity-a s0lpioNy 80
gross that 1t ought to cost bin at least suspension
for Inconsistency. He took the lead with the lightly
weighted Knceer and was far ahead OF the favonte,
Loantaks, when he entered the homestretoh. linen
he began twisting about in the saddle asau and again
looking behind, as II be anxious that Loantaka
should como mp and give Mdgey chance TO snow
his skiH at q finish In this way he checked the
FLY and threw her out Of her stride Finally through
Midgeys folly Loanaka did get up, and Midgley lost
the race by few inches Bitter was tile wrath OF
Kildeers hackers and their wrath was JUST too'
Careless riding is often seen on RECOGNISES Out s
was wholly inexcusable
Our racing officials ought to reflect on one or two
things They MAKE racing depend on betting. The
Jockey clubs exist their present basis through the
support given to the betting ring by the public lhey
admit this They all say that they cannot Keep up
racing without betting. Then is it not their plain
duty to protect the public In its betting and to take
action when the hackers of a horse are feeced out
Of their money by such stupid riding as that OF
this boy Mdgeley There is something radically wrong
with the head the conscience Of this boy, and
an unspaing investigation ought TO be made:
