boxes in the endeavor to take in the money.
Every cent of the thousand went in at
Z twos, and the pencilers We're a sick-loOk-
ing lot when 1.-The man with the whiskers"
fell into line and started to cash.
Mr.. Sporl hveDed things up considerably
and il is to be hoped that lie will pay the
outlaws another visit in the near future.
The fact that some of the more prominent
owners at the outlaw tracks have deserted
and are now running on the Jockey Club
tracks has not had much, il any, effect upon
the game across the river.
Things have gone very much as they did
before the owners took their horses and
their money way and the game is the same
that it has been ever since the big tracks
ip the North opened.
There is not quite as much money in the
ring as there was, but the bookies seem
10 be making living without the help of
the deserters and il certainly does not make
any difference to the talent.
Things that are most missed are the
familiar ''outla W cracks" and the boys who
applied for reinstatement. Willie Ham
and Murphy are missed more than all the
Very few Of the outlaw horses went away
as the owners realized that the ones who
could win purses were few md far between.
Key West, who was all but invincible
down here, started ON the big tracks
Saturday and was not placed. II he had
been, the foreign book at the Island would
have known that a race had come off, as the
Island talent was down to a man.
When Murphy won on Pa. Daily s V olley on
Friday the shout that went up from the
pikers at st. Asaph shook the roof. Murphy
did not get a call until the finish and when
he was announced as a winner every piker
on the track fell into line.
The lack of good riders at the across the
river tracks is a very bad thing for the
talent. Time and again during the pasttwo
weeks races have been lost through no
other reason in the world than incompe-
tent riding.
Neary, Parsons, Delehanty, Brown, Glea-
son, Paisey McDermott and George Taylor
are the only boys who have any claim at
all TO being decent jockeys and some OF
them are not cracks by any manner of
means.
Patsey is probably the best boy now riding
on the outlaw tracks When he starts
to finish and is anywhere within striking
distance of the leader he can ride rings
around the other boys. Parsons is riding
in good form, but he has been doing his
share of crooked work of late and SO cannot
be depended upon.
Bender is n good boy, but he is laid upon
the shelf with a broken arm, just at
present and will not be able to ride for
r,nc hna n
for the past week, but will be allowed TO
ride to-day and will make the other boys
jump up and hustle to get ahead of him.
The card for to-day is an unusually good
one The events are all well filled, without
being So crowded that the delays at the
post win be long
1t looks as If it were an easy card to
beat, but as those are just the kind that the
talent fall down on the hardest, it does
not do to bank upon beating them.
The opening race appears an easy one TO
beat, as Marguerite II outclasses all the
other contestants. Meteor is the only one
of the others who has possible chance, and
he will have to be satisfied with second
money. Della NJ. should be third.
There are twelve entered in the second
race, andift three or four of themarescratcbed
