RACING NO LONGER POPULAR
The tempest OF yesterday morning did not work
extensive or serious damage at Morris Park. but
Of course the track deep in mud. small
number Of spectators was present. Racing is no
lcnger q truly popular sport, and gambling on the
races is no, IN public favor. Most Americans have
learned by This time that Il is hopeless underiak-
ing TO try TO win money in the long run from the
hookmakers In the bettinG-rinG and they nave
abandoned the Impossible enterprise. The book
makers the eagleeyed. foxnosed element OF the
American turf They are keen and smart ana
shrewd. As rule they know a great deal more
than most trainers know. than most jockeys know.
and than most owners know. They certainly know
much than most managers OF race tracks
know. The race-jrack managers have Killed the
goose which laid the golden eggs, ana nave ruined
the popularity OF racing in this State and in New
Jersey. Two of the most unpopular men who were
ever Connected with race-track management in any
psrt Of tn United States were in the stewards

The LITTLE BOY FROM THE PROTECTORY
|, cannot be possible that David Gideon, who has
IN agile Intellect. and John DAILY. his shrewd and
asacious partner. have consented to pay little
Jockey Griffin the grotesque salary OF $4,000 for
his services in 1885, when it is probable that there
will be no racing in this State in 1895. Mr.. Gideon
and Mr. DAILY have too much sense 10 fall into
such absurd folly Racctracks are full OF the wild
est tales and the most absurd exaggeratons. Grif-

saleids who il IS reported. puts In his own pocket
nght to do under the articles of apprenticeship.
sneids probably spends most OF his time in chuck
ing over his good luck in having secured Griffin as
AZ apprentice.
But the idea OF a $4,000 salary-a far highe.

uy-seems preposterous II Grifln-a mere boy
