LIST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE FIX.
EcUTIvE COMMITTEE.
cry Of distress goes up from Monmouth Park
and the wall Is heard over the land. 1t has been
decided that the Board Of Control tracks shall reduce
the amounts OF their night purses at the autumn
meetings. 1t is reasonably certain moreover that
the sums OF money added TO stakes which have not
vet been closed VIII be cut down heavily next year
one Of the chief OF the serious depression In
racing the senseless warfare against the press and
against public opinion which has been carried on by
the Executive Committee Of Monmouth Park. The
members Of this committee have done n great deal
10 bring racing into disrepute. and to ALLEVIATE the
public from the support OF the turf 1t is generally
believed that the losses Of Monmouth Park this
have been serious. "The Commercial Advertiser
prints report that these losses already reach total
Of sl5oOo0. but this is probably much too high an
estimate
II is extraordinary with what the stockholders
Of Monmouth Park conceal their names. When
Thomas NJ. Croft, manager for the Executive Com
nittee was asked In the legal proceedings before
Commissioner Harvey to give the list OF stockholders.
he refused TO mention them. II. G.. Crickmore the
secretary OF the association was also examined be-
fore Commissioner Harvey He. too, was asked TO
furnish the OF the stockholders but he assumed
ignorance the subject III fact, the extent and
variety OF the ignorance which Mr.. Croft and Mr..
Crics-ore prDfessed In regard The affairs OF the
association amazing. Are the present stock
holders of Monmouth Park ashamed OF themselves,
and ashamed of holding stock In the association
II thev are not ashamed. why do they skulk behind
the coatails of their salaried employees and why
are these saaried employees forbidden to recount
IN. names OF the stockholders when they are asked
10 furnish them in q legal proceedingl
Mr. Crickmore did. however supply one unex-
pected bit OF information in his testimony. 1t has
been generally asserted the turf that the members
Of the Executive Committee OF Monmouth Park are A.
T Walcott John A. Morris Philip J. Dwyer and
John Hunter. These four men have been named IN
many newspaper publications as composing the fAeou
tive Committee, which has attempted TO put stop 10
criticism Of racing methods and racing management
But Mr. Crickmore testified in the legal proceedings
that the Executive Committee was made up OF a. r.
Walcott John a. Morris, Philip J. Dwyer' Mchaei

criticism he has been unjusty apd Improperly Drought
into the matter, and ample apology is due him
Eu IL Is passna sSrapge that the repeated publication
Of the name of Mr. 1;,nter as a member OF the com
mittee In many different newspapers mas Drought No
explanation or correction from him or from any vi
his friends. A..
There can he no doubt that Mr.. Crckmore oio
testify that both Of the Dwyer brothers are members
