Report that tho Monmouth Park
Association Has Not Paid Up
Some Of Its Stakes.

James Galway, who Is known on the
turf as the Master Of Preakness," con-
siders that he has been victimized IN
most uneentlemanly manner by Richard
Croker Phil ]. Dwyer, Michael F.Dwyer.
John A. Morris, United States Senator
James Smith. jr.. A. F. Walcott, Luz
Glen o. Appleby, and the other turfmen
who form the new Monmouth Park Rae
ing Association.
Mr.. Galway is n sportsman OF the old
school. He has been a member Of the
Board OF Control. has been one OF the
Board of Stewards and has been looked
upon generally as one OF the pillars OF
the turf. At mis- stock farm. Preakness,
near Paterson, N. j.. many good race
..orses have been bred, especially Linden
and Belvidere. The "old man." as he is
called, has his own ideas about racing.
and would rather own a winning selling
platter that he had bred himself than
great stake horse that was bred by some
other person. He Is on the turf because
he loves a racehorse. not because he
makes money out Of the game. AS a
matter of fact his turf experiences have
cost him many thousands of dollars.
Here Is the story Of how Mr.. Galway
was victimized by the Monmouth Park
people. 1t was told by Mr.. Galway to
Pierre Lorillard, and is made public
through an acquaintance of the latter.
The late David d. Withers. who built
Monmouth Park, objected to a part OF
the work done by the contractor and re-
fused to pay the bill for that particular
piece of work. The contractor sued and
got Judgment against the Association,
Of which Mr.. Withers was the head. for
something like $4,000. Mr. Withers in
tended to carry the case to higher
court, but before the time arrived to
