MIR. CROKER WINS AGAIN.
DOBBINS GETS THE BARLOW STAkES.
BUT PRINCE GEORGE IS UNPLAcED IN THE
wITuERS

WJIHEkS
The heat was binding and bllserng In the city at
noon yesterday, and thousands Of people went
to Morris Park chiefly to see the racing. but IN
part with the hope Of finding cooler air. Pleasant
breezes played about the clubhouse ana grand stand,
and men and women who drank nothing Win ncOhol

the glass, but which in reality Increase Instead OF
reducing the bodily temperature and who did not dis

the Gideon d DAILY stable, plunged his way homeward

The wen.known and popular owners Of the oncck

Walter. Fortune has been nlsgardly 10 them this
season. But the race may do sir Walter good. and
he may win n rich stake later. II the track had
been dry the pace would have been much fasicr

Prince George Is a small colt. and dos not farcy

power even for n mile. IlaTdy Campbell has not
been successful In getting Y,rkvilc Beic to show any
staying qualities this season, and be may be equally
unlucky with Prince George. Few trainers In this
country. or any other. can handle at once so many
