Especial to The Evening World,


RACE TRACK, JEROME PARK, Auw.
A-Thls was getaway day at this track.
and 1t was not with any feelings OF re-
sret that the talent turned their backs
upon the winding old course at the close
OF the day.
The racing throughout the meeting has
not been calculated to arouse any won-
derful amount Of enthusiasm. and on tho
other hand many most unpleasant Incl
dents have gone n long way to mar the
success Of the meeting.
The card for to-day however, was q
fair one. and promised some exciting
finishes. While there was noticeable
absence OF hlgh-class horses, the CON-
testants were so evenly balanced that
winners looked hard to pick and the
chance Of the usual getaway" upsets
appear bright. The fields were all fair
in size and the scratches were not heavy.
The weather was pleasant and the
track In fine condition. The attendance
however. was light, most Of the crowd
preparing for to-morrow's opening at
Sheepshead Bay.
Beldemere placed another purse to the
credit of the Preskness Stable In the
opening event, and ALSO money In the
talents pocket. She was almost played
