GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Those who suffered the perils of the
tunnel on the New York Central and
journeyed to Jerome Park on Saturday
in anticipation of witnessing anything
like good racing. were a long way from
getting their moneys worth. so far the

the United States Hotel Stakes, Is re-
garded by the racing public as about as
small piece OF business as they have

not take the matter into court, and
force Walbaum to settle. he will not
