GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

1t Ii a pleasure to race goers to note
that the stewards at Brighton are alive
| and earnest in their endeavors to keep
| racing clean at the track. At other
tracks. though there were many sus.
picious reversals of form, the stewards,
being figureheads only and incapable OF
judging a race on It's merits, made no
inquiries, and the result was that
towards the close of the sheepshead
meeting certain owners had become
bold In their manipulation of
horses. Palmers punishment at Brigh-
ton on Saturday was we'll merit ed.
The boy did not try to get away, and IN
the race he was apparently content to
act as whipper-in. He could not give
any reasonable excuse for his actions
and even the interview of Father"
DAILY failed to save him. w. Lynch was
also warned that such exhibitions as he
gave on Ecarte would not be tolerated
in the future. 1t seems strange that
this animal Is continually getting boys
into trouble. Harry Alonzos running
was peculiar. but the jockey explained
that the horse sulked and the excuse
was excepted. The meeting will be very
| successful II the stewards continue to
keep their searchlight on all bad-lookins
| races. The fact that strict measures
are taken gives confidence to bettors
and keeps owners and jockeys right up
to the mark.
The future of the Turf Congress and

Corrigan has come out with bold def
| and breeders are getting uneasy because
they fear that their interests are going

yearlings have this year brought small
prices: Cast-off sales have been failures,
ridiculous prices being offered for, fair
ever. for these cast-offs, and conse--
quently the owner and the breeder must
suffer With Gloucester and Gutten-

cast-offs, and colt or a filly that could
