NOT A BRILLIANT RACE DAY.
A JOCKEY CLUB UNDER A DARK CLOUD.

THE PATRONS OF THE sHEEPsHEAD BAY TRACK
GET POOR SPORT.
Tho Coney Island Jockey Club is encountering
serious difficulties in its efforts to provide satisfactory
racing at slleepshead Bay. Most of the owners and
trainers are a set 4 spoiled children. They must be
coaxed and pctted humored and entreated. coddled
and fondled, in oder TO induce them TO run their
horses for valuable prizes. 1t is an amazing safe OF
things that with many hundreds OF horses stabbed
AZ this track and at the neghboring tracks at Graves
end and Brighton Beach. II should be so dfhcult to
cot .orether respectable number of starters In most
OF the stakes and other contests. Too many owners
and trainers these days want fortunes handed over
:. them without any work or trouble their part,
and are too lazy naughty even 10 stretch forth
their hands in order to fill their pockets.
And II must be admitted that many owners and
.,,ers have iust reasons for complaint against the
management OF this meeting. The handicapping has
mt been nearly up 10 its former standard III Mr.
Iourence sin aots the weights, his work is far In

caps have been amazingly generous to Michael +.
Dwver,s horses Mr. Dwyer knows very well how
10 make money on the turf and there is no reason
why he should receive exceptional consideration al the
bandicappcrs hands. 1t nothing short OF seam

laws? The way in which his two horses Lepanto and
FjdeAo were ridden Monday, without declaration

snaps his fingers at every obligation OF decency and
honor md every regulation Of racing Certain jockeys
have been allowed to play the most outrageous panks
in the saddle without being called TO account. Alto

With a competent jockey up, Sir Francis could not have
lost Spring Stakes. but with Muiphys remains IN
