UNPLEASANT READING FOR MEssRS.
DIVER AND CROKER.

RUNNING OF FLIRT-YEsTERDAf's WINNERS.
Yt,s on extremely rare occasions that all the TURF
,,ters OF this city criticse the running Oh
,,.r,icuIar horse In such scathingly bitter man.
Mr. as that in which the form OF Richard croker My
rn. wos criticised yesterday. II Michael F. Dwyer
a p,chard Croker read the racing columns or yes
s.,,s napers they certainly could not have en-
..d the biting sarcasm and the cutting references
IN regard to the recent performances OF Flrt 1t Is
extremely unfortunate that such in-andout running
.bould occur this time, when the very existence
NJ racing trembles in the balance of public opinion
The turfmen who talked hippantly OF recon-
alteration OF the anti gambling amendment TO the
Constitution are aware by this time that the Con-
stitutional Convention yesterday by an overwheim-
Ing vote readopted one OF the proposed amend
ments including the anti-gamblng one 1t now re-
mains for the Convention to decide as to the ad-
visibility Of submitting the proposed amendments
to the vote OF the people as whole or separately.
Suppose that the Constitutional Convention shouid
adopte the practice of racing officials OF working
"cinch" for all IT is worth by adopting the amend
ments to the Constitution without submitting them
TO the people at all for their approval through the
ballot box The Constitutional Convention can 90
so II the members desire without Violating any
law The leading lawyers OF both poiiticai PAL .ieS
agree on the question. Suppose that the racing
stewards had the decision In their power does any
body think that the amendment would be submitted
10 the people? There many turfmen VINO hriniy
believe that the amendments will be defeated py .he
popular vote, but they will probably ma IN NO
yember that the followers Of racing as a Gaming
are a mere handful when the opponents OF gahohhs
aroused
In the Flrt case all Of the turf writer's criticised
both Mr. Croker and Mr.. Dwyer more or less Sc
verely on account Of the vast change IN her FORM
from one another with only rev Gays
intervening Such unanimty Is almost unprecedeht-
ed as In a majority OF cases some one OF the turl
writers finds redeeming feature. out IN the rhr'
case not a single apology was made.
Even the tips the weather were wrong yester-
day. as the predicted cyclone and heavy rains failed
TO materialize Although the air was humid ana
uncomfortable in the bettng-ring the weather at
Jerome Park was pleasant and a fair crowd assem-,
bled to witness the races There was quarrei J."
the paddock before the first race between we'll
known trainer and turf correspondent COM
plaint was made TO the stewards and the trainer
was asked to report to them at his earliest con-
yenience The case Is likely to be dismissed as
there were no blows struck. and all that Is TO be
done Is 10 apologize to the officials OF the club ac-
cording to the precedent established at Sheepshead
