GOSSIP OF THE TURF.
The racing at Jerome Park SO far has
been but a parody on the sport of
kings, and on the public is fast growing
tired Of the well-intended, but misguided
effort. The patrons have gotten de-
cidedly the worst of the game in more
ways than one, and each day adds to
their discomfort. Jerome Park at best

racing was tame and uninteresting, and
the talent grumbled accordingly.
