GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

| oOooIV VI IVC loIu
| The Galway story, printed exclusively
IN The Evening World" yesterday, was
undoubtedly the most surprising turf
news that has cropped out in many days.
1t was the best thing that could have
happened for Mr.. Galway and Mr.. Apple
by and indirectly for the other persons
interested in the affairs OF the Monmouth
Park Association. 1t Is more than likely
that Mr.. Galway and MIR. Appleby will
be reimbursed; that the Monmouth Park
people will pay their just debts, and that
the turf atmosphere, in so far as this
particular affair Is concerned, will be
cleared OF the mia smatic dishonesty that
has hung over It ever since the gates
Of Monmouth closed IT wss shame .
that the rich men who hold stock In this /
| concern did not reach into their pockets |
and settle the debts Of the Association.
When the men who pose as the reforners
OF the turf do not pay the money they !
honestly owe TO their friends and to the |
men who toiled for them their reforming
: efforts are to be viewed with suspicion ,
All those suits against the Monmouth !
Association. brought by Van keuren, |
Gerken and others have brought dis
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 williii gness 10
, pay their share in settling all claims
, against the Association.
The fact that the Monmouth Park As
ISOLATION did not pay stakes which were
, won by. rich men puts q new. phase on

n this affair can do no harm to the turf
