GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

getaway day" yesterday, two long shots
winning just to give the talent a re-
minier that II was the wind-up. -Four
favorites went down John McCsfferty's
two winners. Bel Lomond and Shadow
Dance colt. were the only fsvorites to
come TO the rescue OF the public. Had
Sims gotten OF with Judge Morrow in
the first race the chances are that Me
Cafferty would have won one-half Of the
card. The meeting. on the whole, was
one OF the most successful ever given
at the ramshackie old track by the
sea. There has been much accom-
plished towards freeing the turf
from crookedness. and the stew
ards, Messrs. Hennessy, Mcintyre and
Bruce, richly deserve the thanks of
both the association and public. Their
work has been fearless and entirely free
from Partially. both rich and poor fall
ing under their axe where anything
savored of fraud IN the racing. Another
pleasant feature of the meeting has
to say that Mr. Flynn has justly won
warm spot in the hearts OF both turf

yesterday, but when he got through he
simply galloped away from his field.
Father Bill DAILY was busy bidding
his friends n fearful adieu at Brighton
yesterday. He is still making strenu-
GUS efforts to get reinstated, but so far
he has not met with any degree Of
success.

on the latter was especially poor.
Trouble was played heavily In tne last

bookits had not nerve and daring enough
to compete with him.
Grammar. by the way, made a series
of dazzling plunges during yesterday ar
terrcon. He won about 5000 over
Crania's victory. and bet the whole
lump back on Salvation in the third
race. Starting in again on Henry OF
Navarro he loaded up every book in the
rirg. Part OF this money he bet back on
Fondoline, and as she lost he quit a
moderate winner.
Salvatore get are not as successful as
one might suppose, when one considers
what n high-c.ass OF mares was at this
stations disposal. No Salvatore have
yet scored In the East, and Sallie Wood

West.
Matt Byrnes must have a hoodoo of
the worst kind with him. His stable

Sadie yesterday, but then "nears" don't
count.
