HIS RICHNESS OUT AGAIN.
WINNING THE FIRST RACE AT MONMOUTH.
LoCoHATcHEE SUCCESSFUL IN THE PALsADE
STAKES


, considerable attendance Monmouth Park
Yesterday and close finishes were observed with
excitement and delight by the spectators. Monmouth
above all other acccOur,cs in the ry become
the track OF close finishes, and in marvellous number
Of races hackers kept in state of agitation and
uncertainty until the judges order the numbers up
In the Red Bank Stakes for twO-ycar old,, Uncle
less Spartan, It. Michael ard Tom Watson crossed
the line with 50 little space between them that
no one outside Of the judges stand could declare with
confidence In what order they got home. But The
Judges gave the race to Bayard Thsyer's colt Uncle
less by sir Modred out of Prcciosa (Prcci0,a
mare Of merit. but mos, Il the sons and daugh
ters of Sir Modred are uncertain creatures while they
awarded second place to Walcott & Campbclrs colt
spartan and third place to the favorite, Sir Michael
Uncle Jess was only few inches before Spartan who
WIS only a few inches before It. Michael, who was
only few inches before Tom Watson. Hence 1T was
impossible to determine from this race which one OF
the four was the best colt. Ajax added
starter at the track. but this was most In
iudcious and unwse step the part OF Mr. Leighton
Colonel Rupperts trainer, for the colt was In no
condition 10 run a race, and beaten thoroughly
and sounay before he had gone half mile. 1t i
certain that Colonel Rupert does not wish to have
bs good name defaccd by the running Of horses carry
ing his colors when they are not tit To drag horse
car and he ought promptly TO caution his trainer
not to bring disgrace upon the reputation Of the
Stable by starting his horses when they are deploaoy
out of form. MilltOnalieS really cannon Anpru u
nit their trainers their horses after the William
r Daly STYLE and Colonel Rupert has something at
stake in turf enterprises. The turf In this country
Is not easy avenue to social distinction as
II IS in England but whether not running thorough
breds helps a man over the hedges OF the fOo'
II is certain that running horses when they are
wholly out OF form cannot promote any owners
interests In any sort Of business enterprises or aid
him in ascending the somewhat PERCEPTIONS slopes
Of Murray Hill.
The success of Uncle Jess Bayard Thayers
second turf victory since he started a stable. lie
ought to feel encouraged TO buy more hOIses' ana
race on an extensive scale
In the Pallsade stakes for three olds at mile
and q flronC only three ran-LocOhstchee. Pick
pocket and Adcbert. As the weights we're sent ont
on Monday. these three were to carry 1"2 pounds
each but careful study of the somewhat obscure
Conditions Of the xace showed that their proper
weight should be 115 pounds each. One Of the most
Ridiculous things about racing In America Is the p9z
,,nr and doubtful language In which the condiions
NJ many races are drawn up. especially AT SheePS
head Bay. ANY competent newspaper man' "hose
assistance was called III could frame the cohuluon'
NJ any race in language which child In primary
school could not msunderstand But the conditions
NJ many races on American courses are drawn UP 50
o,scurey that they might give even Phlladelphla
LAWYER a had dream. These conditions ought In all
cases 10 be sent 10 newspaper Office, and revised
with a vigorous blue pencil and brisk pair u
shears. ,., ~
