HIS SERVICES IN EAGER DEMAND-THE MISTAKE
MADE IN SENDING HIM TO CHICAGO.
Tara was again In the saddle I'm the East
terday His from his exile In Chicago is hailed
With satisfaction by all friends Of high class racirg
on the Atlantic Coast he is by far the most salts
factory Of American jockeys. He makes fewer mis-
takes than any other rider and he has more persistence
than any other. He never RENTS his exertiors
m q horse until 1t Is absolutely certain that his
mount is beaten hopelossly. Racing at Monmouth
Park would have been decidedly benefited and wonld
have been favored with larger measure of public con-
Gdence he had not been sent to Chicago Every person
interested IN racing knows that when Taral is riding
the horse which carries him will carry off the prize, II
Il Is in Taral's power to send him to the front
A. F. Wacott Is the president Of Monmouth Park.
lie Is also the head OF the racing firm Of WalcOtt
Campbell, which has Taral under contract. As
president Of Monmouth Park, Mr.. walcott is nat
urally supposed to be interested in the prosperity Of
that track Yet he dealt Monmouth damaging blow
in sending his stable to Chicago, to remain there
during the first three weeks of the Monmouth
and in deprivng the at Monmouth Of IA
opportunity to engage Taras services at any time in
those weeks. He also injured the popularity Of the
racing BY keeping Taral IN Chicago as Taral is now
beyond question the most popular jockey in the United
States and has larger personal following than any
other rider.
James r. Keene has second call on Tarals services.
wacott g. Campbell have no stake horses Of high
class In their stable. II they had allowed Taral
10 remain In the East Mr.. Keenes second call would
have secured Tarars services In a number Of i'm
portant stakes, in which Mr.. Keene was compelled
by Tarals absence in Chicago to make use Of other
Jockeys. The army Of admirers and followers OF
the Keene stable prefer to see Taral wearing the
Keene colors above ali other jockeys. Mr.. Wacott
certainly did Mr.. Keene no kindness In Keeping
Taral in Chicago. He would have secured larger
attendance at Monmouth II he had kept Tara in the
East he would have stimulated betting by the general
public in the betting ring he would have do:e much
10 prevent disrust and to encourage confidence, and
he would have put money in the Monmouth Park
treasury Thus he would have chosen the better
part. But some men stubborny shut their eyes 10
the wsest policy for them to pursue.
The members of the Executive Committee at Mon
mouth Park have not yet recovered from the shock
given to them by the Chancery Court. They are
an extremely gloomy body Of men. john A. Morris
and A. F. walcott spent much time together on sun
day. Yesterday Mr. Morris held frequent consulta-
lions with John Hunter. They begin TO realize that
the public Is not in favor Of their hghanded methods
