RACE TRACK, JEROME PARK, Sept.
2.-The effect of the miserable sport at
this track yesterday was plainly visible
to-day. Scarcely half the number of
persons who witnessed the opening days
card of the American Jockey Club run
Off carei to come again.
Many OF the regulars have turned
their attention to the Maspeth races,
where they say they can at least get a
chance to bet on the ponies and get
perfect and the track was in splendid
condition.
The Bedford Stakes, for three-year-
ODDS, over the Titan course, was by far
the feature of the card as originally sent
out, but after the blue pencil got in its
work the race was a wak-over for Rubi-
con, the rest being withdrawn.
Before the races 1t was reported that
John Hunter would refuse to act as
Steward on account of yesterdays
trouble, but Philip Dwyer prevailed upon
him to act
Beldemere was an odds-on favorite for
the opening event. After Stonenellie had
cut out the work to the last furlong she
came on and won In a canter. Stone
nellie, the second choice, was second.
Late in the afternoon an extra race
was added to the programme. 1t was a
selling affair at six furlongs.
Midgley and Utica were about equal
favorites for the third event. The race
was a pretty one from start to finish.
After running well punched a furious
drive ensued In the stretch. Utica,
Midgley, Cockade and Romping Girl all
finished heads apart as named.
