Harry Griffin must have passed an
anxious night, wondering what action
the stewards would take in regard to
his riding of Mr. Sass. The stewards
are of the opinion that Griffin did not
try very hard on Mr.. Sass, and intend
investigating matters until the truth
is known. Mr.. Sass is known as IA
hard horse to ride, and perhaps Griffin
was unable 10 90 nun justice. Al tne
sume time his riding certainly looked
queer and the horse did not perform
within pounds of his real form.
In IA two-horse race where an out

there will always be found enough back

turbance at the Judges stand. Such
was the case in the Sir Walter-Herald
race yesterday. Though the finish was
close, Sir Walter undoubtedly won.
Racegoers forget that every one else
on the track, save the Judges, views the
finish at an angle. Where a judge Is
competent and honest. his decision
should be accepted without a murmur.
The attention of the proper authorities
should be called to the fact that the
trains on the Brighton Beach Railroad
are dangerously overcrowded The cars
are old and are whirled along at high
rate of speed.
