The result of all this lot of grumbHhg from
the owners and trainers who are still quar'ereu '
the track. Their complaint is that races are ~
conditioned that they are compelled to run against
horses which il is almost impossible TO peat WIZ"

delegation were highly disguised, ana 'n'e"'''N

The time betting on the was to over l5s

this style Of betting took the upper side OF IT, Out
the figures hung out We're l:o1r,.
Ten two-year -olds made up the field for the third
race and as several of the lot were making thelr
debut the result some fairly good betting, with
Black Hawk always the choice. He failed to win,
however Mamma leading all the way and winning
easily. Black Hawk got the place.
When the odds were first posted for the fourth
race Hammie was an even-money favorite. but
the price against him steadily declined until at
post time 1t was IL TO D. Balances odds also went
back while those of Wormser and Sam Weller
came down a couple of points. The race had an
ugly look. Perrier Jouet, the outsider, was in front
winning but he tired badly in the final strides, and
HaInmie beat him Balance was last. The
winner was entered TO be sold for N,iOo but Jeter
Walden who trains the second horse, bid him up
TO $1,000 His owner bid an extra s. and retained
him.
Diablo practically had nothing to beat in the fifth
race, and it was no surprise to see him a to
favorite. He won but hardly easily his people
expected, Taral had to ride him hard before
half the journey had been travelled, and at the
end he was still at him with hands and heels
The closing contest of the day was a handicap
for two-year-olds. Terrapin made the favorite,
but the best he could get was the place, Prig at
the comfortable odds of TO /, leading all the
way and winning handily
Here are the comments Of THE New-York
Herald" of yesterday. on the closing days OF the
Monmo- tn Park meeting, meeting which has
provoked more ill-feeling and excited more CEN
sure and denunciation than any other meeting
THE racing at Monmouth Park will come TO an
end on Thursday next, and 1t is safe to say that
the managers and stockholders of this associa-
ton will be glad the public that the racing

TRACKS where the races can be seen from end to
the straight course at Monmouth and the people
who go 70 see the races see nothing for the biggest
part OF the journey but cloud of dust and black
swerving objects mixed up in il.
Playing the races on form at this track has been
anything but success for the bettors. The in-and
a regular broke during the last six weeks, and
all are anxously waiting for the meeting to begin
at Sheepshead Bay where they expect to recover
their losses This track will open its gates on
Saturday next for its fall meeting and it is TO be
deplored that IL will meet with the same opposi-
ton which it experienced during the month of lime
