The regulars at the outi1 W tracks cannot
be scared off by hot weather and turned out
a goods crowd at the Island track
yesterday. The temperature in the betting
ring was at boiling point, but the talent
went bravely to work, anc fter a hard
| days work succeeded in getting somewhat
the best OF the game.
Almost all of the patrons of the track
were OF the opinion that Frolicsonle Lass
was pulled when Watch Cha rm beat her last
Saturday, and the race that the Lass ran
yesterday sustained this opinion.
Andrews had the mount on her on Satur-
day, and she ran a very poor second. She
did not even want this place. but could not
be kept out of it. Yesterday, with
Ncary up, she went to the front at the fall
OF the flag, and leading all the way,
won as she pleased.
SHE HAS BEEN YANKED.
True, she did not have any Watch
Charms to beat, but the difference in
the two races cannot be accounted for by
this fact. This mare has been yanked
and then cut loose with such regularity
to account.
When her owners have their checks down
1t is Frolicsome Lass all the way and when
they don't she is the worst kind OF a
lobster.
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary
the purses at the Island Will be reduced to
500. The reduction will take place, be
ginning next Saturday. The racing at
st. Asaph has. been Just as good with
SiO0 purses as it was when they were
$3.50, and it is likely that the officials
OF the Island track realized that they Were
paying $500 per day more than the st.
Asaph people and not getting any better
racing.
Jockey LohrmaD gave another exhibition
OF incompetent riding and was ruled off by
Judge oyster after the race. While this
boy is a horrible excuse for a Jockey it
nevertheless seems that his punishment was
rather severe.
The opening event was for two-year-olds
at six and a-quarter turlongs, and went
to the odds-on favorite wistruL Murray
wassecoDd with Higbie third.
BAREFACED PULLING.
Founding was a lobster of the worst
kind the first time hestarted and his owners
expected to get good price against him
yesterday. The pulling was so barefaced,
however that every one was on TO ii md he
closed a strong second choice TO Harry
Keister. He led all the way and won
galloping from Keister with MIS- Stewart
third.
Old Belsa rius had the call in the third,
and justified the betting by winning after
hard drive with Tear Drop.
Ataman and Mirage closed equal favor
ties at even money in the fifth. Willie
Hams horse seems to have gone back some
what, and finished next TO last. Murphy
rode Mirage, and leading with him all the
way, won jumping by length from c. o. D.,
who beat Lento three.
The talent picked Jersey TO do the trick
in the fifth, but he was taken into camp
IN grunt style. Eclipse, Jr., made the
running until well in the stretch, where he
quit, and Mclaughlin came on and got
all the money. Jersey was poor third.
Imp. Frolicsume Lass came life, and took
the closing race in easy style from Con
Lucy, who was four lengths before Finn
