RACING AT. JEROME PARK.
A COMFORTABLE DAY AT THE TRACK.

AND HORSES.
1t decidedly more pleasant and comfortable
Jerome Park yesterday than heretofore. The
rain caused the trees and meadows to look fresher
and TO wear deeper green. There was no aust
The track not muddy, although there were
wet places at the clubhouse turn and TT the head
OF the homestretch There was marked falling
off In the attendance. as many persons were u.s.
gusted with the racing on Wednesday.
There many remarks made about the start
given to California by suspicious persons VINO
have confidence In racing or the men VINO
thrive by the game Some Of them 20 so far as 10
doubt the stewards and the starters desire Tor
fair contests. However. there are many persons
who are always ready and willing TO defend racing
officials and horse owners, that the walls OF
few bcttors are not likely TO cause them much
trouble.
There was nothing to rufie the calm at Jerome
Park yesterday. The only excitement was caused
by n quarrel between two brothers, when WAS
quickly suppressed by the police
Some of the reports about Michael F. Dryers
losses on Stonenell were exaggerated, as ne ohy

Some of the horse owners maintain that. II the

would go TO the pos in every race The rea-
son given is. that only three good Jockeys are rih
ing AT Jerome Park and that II is madness to start
n horse with a moderate chance to win against
their mounts with n stable boy on his back. III
there were a chance to bet the horses chances
to finish third and TO obtain fair odds. that many
horses would start that now avoid the issue. The
1-2-3 betting might cause larger fields To go TO the
post In many OF the races. but II would also attract
some of the boobmakers who made speciality Of
that kind OF betting in former years.
Everybody predicts great meeting at Sleeps
head Bay. When the horses from Saratoga and
the West are united with the large number in re-
serve at the tracks in this neghborhood nearly
900 horses can be drawn upon 20 form the fields
to for the liberal purses and stakes on the
programme. The question Of starting the arg"
