GOSSIP OF The TURF.

The Galway story, printed exclusively
In THE Evening World" yesterday. was
undoubtedly the most surprising turf
news that has cropped out in many days.
IT was the best thing that could have
happened for Mr. Galway and Mr. Apple

grace upon the men who refused to pay
the money they owed. 1t Is to the credit
Of the Dwyer brothers that they were
the first to declare their Willingness to
pay their share In settling all claims
against the Association.

won by rich men puts new phase on
