STARTER ROWE'S POOR WORK.
"a GREAT CROWD AT ELIzABETH'S TRACK.
MAIDSTONE DEFEATED BY ANNIE BIsHoP-1N-
rrcp,ry GAVE WAY TO INDIGO

TEGRITY GAVE WAY TO INDIGO.
The plain people went down to the elizabeth
track OF the New-Jersey Jockey Club yesterday
in large numbers. Most OF them were very
plain people 1t has been for years the proud
boast of the Dwyer brothers that they took no
stock in frills" upon the turf They don't care for
aace embroidery Old point is more to them
than cheap fshline ne: turned out by machinery
in thousand-yard rolls. Mechlin. Naenclennes'
point d'Alencon. all the amazing witchery OF dell
cate device in embroidery put together by years OF
patient toll in Italian. Spanish, French or Belgian
converts do not appeal to the Dryers No friNs
for them. 1t was a gathering of the masses ana
not OF the classes at Elizabeth. And yet some
wel-known racing men were present hciuuihs
James r. Keene. the most prominent and iniueh-
tia OF all living of racehorses John hunter
president of the quavering and wobbing Board OF
Control and the Dryers. Mr.. Walcott president
of the Monmouth Park Association was also pres
ent. but he does not count for much since the
grotesque and ridiculous suit of the Monmouth
Park Association against certain New-fork news
papers was transferred to the jurisdiction OF the
United States courts in New-Jersey Jures are
not packed in the Federal courts in New-Jersey,
md ring rascals do not influence indictments ana
yerdicts In these courts as they 90 IN certain
judicial proceedings under the state system Ill
Hudson County and certain other counties IN the
State which separates Philadelphia from New
York
The railroad service on the way TO the track was
unsatisfactory again. coupling broke ana the
second section of the 20 special train TO the race
course did not reach the track until after the hrst
race had been run. This was unpleasant But
the management of affairs at the track was not
at all gratifying With a little inquiry. the OIL
GERS of the club could have learned that a second
section of tn. 100 train. with many hundreds OF
unhappy and impatient passengers board. had
been delayed. 1t would have been easy to put
off the running of the first TO 215. in order
10 give these hapless wretches an opportunity to
bet on the first race and to witness the running
No one would have suffered any damage or injury
from a little postponement Of that sort Inc
third race was over at 3 O'Clock. The' fourth
was called for $3.50. That gave haf-hour for bet
ting Twenty minutes were more than enough.
All sorts of prizes have been given IN TINS country
for all of shows If competitive eXhibluoh
for the prize idiots of the United States were
opened the managers of American racetracks
would take first second and third prizes, and all
rivals would be distanced What glimmer OF sense
or reason was there in calling the hrst race
promptly at o'clock when so many people were
DELAYED on the road and then giving so much super
fuous time between the races Tor VICIOUS anu
immoral gamblingR
John Kelly. the most popular OF racing men,
was not at the racecourse. Mr. Kelly is not in the
best of health His vast army of attached ana de-
voted friends hopes that he will soon he restored
10 the enjoyment of his finest physical condition
When he is not at the races big. black cloud
settles down upon the festivities. His absence |
leaves an irreparabe gap filled with melancholy
and gloom.
Mr. Rowe was not in good form yesterday
His starting in the fifth race was about as pau
as could be- If Mr.. Rowe did not possess repu- |
tation for impartiay. prejudiced people might |
think that he was working TO give Iormehtor |
that race There was a great rush to back Sirocco.
But Sirocco was ridden by an extraordinary IAN
tasy named Hayden. who did not have the slightest 7
conception of jockeyship. and the riders OF inc
other horses appeared TO have entered mo " /
conspiracy to ruin Sroccos chances by wearing !
him out at the post. Mr. Rowe so far as could !
be observed did nothing to check the success OF !
this conspiracy and fell very iar Del9w noliS i9

found 1t difficult to get them away, and finally
when he did give the signal they were badly
strung out with Tormenter far in front This
