GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The racing at Jerome Park yesterday
was about as duh and spirltless as could
well be imagined on not II single oc-
casion during the afternoon was there
anything to arouse n suspicion of en-
thusiasm. The crowd sat about the
stand In little cliques and told horse
stories, and incidentally roasted the rae
ing that was then going on. The fields
were small and In n majority of events
prohibitive odds on favorites. including
l to 30. to 4, l to 3 and 1 to 2, were
served up for the talent, much to their
disgust Two horses were started that
were in such bad condition that they
should have been in the stable under a
veterinary surgeons care.
Altogether II was about as poor a days
sport as has been witnessed In many
years. Not only is the public growing
weary of this kind of thing. but horse
men are kicking vigorously. Many of the
races look to be made for certain stables,
as for instance the Fordham Stakes yes
terday. There was nothing in the race
that, at the weights, had chance OF
even making Harry Reed race. The
fourth race also looked like a cut and
to be no effort on the part of the man
agement to improve things, and II is
needless to say that the talent will be
more than glad when the meeting is
over.

There salmon are caught with kind Of

even more. The slightest wind ruffles
the water SO that it is impossible for the
fishermen to see where the lance is strik-

Swedish Honesty.


A point which soon attracts the at
tention ct travellers in Sweden is the
punctilious honesty and truthfulness
Of the inhabitants. This is best seen
in the many little incidents of daily
life. When asking for places at a
theater, for instance, the ticket clerk
never fails to inform the applicant if
owing to the crowded state of the
house a better position would be So
cured with cheaper ticket than the
one asked for. Again, when parcels
are taken out by steamers from Stock
holm to country places in the neigh
borhood, they are just thrown out on
to the quay, where they frequently
remain half the day without being
claimed.
1t never seems to occur to any one
that they could possibly be taken by
anybody but their rightful owners
