enterprise lberay and energy In the drecuoH vi '"e
affairs Of the Long Branch and the friends Of
highclass racing have had much to enjoy ana admire
in the contests Of the last SIX weeks But Mere Is

ought not to be difficult for the Board OF Control so 70
arrange its meetings that these shall not connect with
the duties Of the stewards Of the racing NO eoou

not meet In the forenoon or in the evening" IL ''ic
Board OF Control should meet hours when their de-
lberatons woud not interfere with the proper super

OF his death was pulmonary consumption. The
Ehret stable withdrew Lidgcrwood from the select

much after his victory the Junior Champion stakes
that he was extremely short OF work. TINS was
serious mistake and If Don Alonzo had not been ruar
by a Jockey OF high class he would certainly nave
