EBB TIDE AT MONMOUTH.
DAYS OF GLOOM FOR THE RACE.rRAcK.

UNCOMFORTABLE FIELDS AND POOR SPORT
THE MELANCHOLY EFFECTS OF
FIGHTING THE NEWSPAPERS.
My forty-thrce bookmakers IN the betting ring Mt
'lrmouth Park yesterday There we're eighty-six
osmakers at the first drawing on July g. SO the
y revenue Of the association from the betting ring
las been reduced me-half. from SO. 900 to $4,000.
How do the stockholders like the outlook for dividends
It IS certain that unless the number Of boohmakers
Is increased largely at tho next drawing and the
drawings which will follow. and unless the gate re-
cipts. we'll the from the betting ring
reach much higher figures than they have been
reaching. the racing at Monmouth Pnr, this season
VIII show an actual loss to the stockholders and not
profit II the intudoious policy OF racing six days
each week Is persisted IN to the end.
How Will the stockholders relish the results Of
foolish fight waged by their executive committee
against the press and against the pblic1 The hot
headed and impulsive members OF the Executive COM
mitee must realize by this time what silly blundor
they made In trying 10 dictate IN the newspapers
what they shall publish in regard to the racing ut
.sonmouth Park. Their action has been criticised.
cnsured and condemned IN all parts OF the country.
They have stirred up a serious. extensive and
intense hostility against racing than that which
existed before. They have encouraged all the ac-
verearies OF the turf 10 assall 1t with more acrid
and vtriolic attacks than before. They have cast
suspicion upon their motives. They have pro
voked In many quarters an active ana dangerous
c,mity which had been dormant until they took their
i.adviscd action. When the hasty and hcry-tem-
pered members Of the Executive Committee decided
10 exclude turf writer's because they had written
articles which these members Of the committee did
not like, they stirred up strife which is likely to
ove very injurious In its effects upon the reputation
and prosperity of the association and they took step
which must materially damage In the long run the
property which IS in their hands.
The total number Of starters In the SIX races
Yesterday twenty nine, feeble and scany array
and the afternoon passed without even ripple OF
enthusiasm 1t was one OF the poorest OF the many
poor days Of RACING which the patrons OF monmouth
Park have been asked TO endure.
The first affair was a dash OF five and half ftr.

Penny and told his friends that the colt was likely

second race dwindled down to match between
stonencll and Reckon. Tho former was a to 10

book as much as 1t would take. When this COM
mission was on Mr.. Dwyer began backing Stoneneii

even money under IL. Lambley must have been
Informed OF these BETS for he rode the colt every
foot of the Journey, punching him hard with his heels
all through the last quarter. The time madc was
