| lnstating the outlaws and it begins to
| look as if the matter had been dropped for
| good and all This is hardly probable
| however, as there is to much money aud
! influence back of the movement for it to
| die natural death, aud those most in
| terested viii come back with renewed force
| aud energy.
Not only the owners and trainers would
| beuefit so much in a financial way If they
| could return to their. old hauuts but the
| boys also would: Many Of whom would give
| worlds for chance to put winner over
! the plate at Morris Park or Sheepshead
Bay not TO mention Gravesend and Sara
! toga
1t can easily be seen that, in addition
/ TO those in favor of the measure, there is
strong contingent who are Just as anx-
! iouS not to see the outlaws get 4 chance
| at the purses that they already find diff
| ficult enough 10 get piece of These are
| the o owners who only have one or two half
way high class horses in their stables, the
rest or them being third-rate selling plat
| ers. They lind 1t hard enough to win
cheap selling race as it is aud how much
harder it would be with the outlaws aud
their skates on haud to help them out can
| be readily imagined.
These same men are, however, Just the
! ones who want the outlaw jockeys TO be
reinstated- They realize that the material
/ on the big tracks is a disgrace to them and
! they also know that maEy of the outcasts
| can give them pointers in the art of how
| to win"
The lack of good material in the North
| is something that has never given the
| Northern horsemen much trouble until this
! year, as they heretofore have had all they
! could well make use of. This year how
| ever. this has been the great trouble since
| the season first opened. Many Of the good
| boys went West early in the season, thinking
! that there would not be any racing in this
| section aud when they succeeded in getting
| good positions out there, as many of them
did, they did not come back
Then again several of them have not
| been seenin the saddle this year. Snapper"
| Garrison, who was often in the saddle last
year, has only had one or two mounts so far
/ this season, and his riding days are
| practically over.
The Jockey Club viii sooner or later find
that they will have TO succumb TO the
pressure and give the outlaws one more
chance. When they do il will be a case
ofgetup and run, ,andt then see what becomes
| of the racing around Washington.
The little Englishman who has been such q
] SOOu NniLS lOI Tue HOIStIitn dU lIS TWO
| outlaw tracks during the past few days
got 1t in the neck in the worst kind of
| way on Saturday. He found that human
nature, and more especially that of the
| ''hOrsey" kind is not tempered with the
milk OF human kindness to the degree that
| he had been led to hope he would find
| in this country. He was thrown down in
the worst fashion possible and not only
thrown down but jumped on and then
| kicked q few times for good measure.
When he struck this vicinity he had
| money. Not only some money, but money
to burn and throw away. The horsemen
| at the across-the-r tracks soon found
| this out and his life has been made
burden to him by every owner who could
| for moment get his ear and induce him
| to put bet down. He has placed more
| large sums on skates that did not have a
chance in the world to land the money than
any good thing that has come this way
| for q long time
He was in the realms of para disc so long
| rs a few Jerseys, BaGca rats, DUsc Gi=ls,
Harris and DartScould win, Ind did nOtmuCh
mind the loss of the thousands he bet on
| Trumps Can't Tells, Eondas and others, so
| long as they had q chance to win and were
| trying but when the owner of Camden, who
| runs under the name of c. Douglas, came
to him with a double -barreled, copper
bound, lead-pipe cinch and told hll that
he couldn't lose if he tried and then gave
him the double cross, he scratched and
skipped to the strongholdS of Philadelphia.
1t came about in this way. The owner
| came up to the good thing" Saturday and
tipped him off that he could win a bet if he
followed him and let the pikerS alone who
| had been touting him. The good thing"
took the bait. and rushing into the ring
put down a snug little bet for the owner,
handing the tickets over TO that worthy.
| He then returned to get his own 'Sweller'
| down and had succeeded in placing nearly
all of it when some kind friend gave him
the tip that he could find Mr.. Douglas get
ting the money back for his tickets behind
| the boxes He found out that this was so,
| and then came the circus. He may be a
good thing but he is no fool, and the
| roasting be gave that owner will last him
until the end Of his days.
While the card at st. Asaph is not very
high class, it is well filled and gives
promise of some good sport, and also
looks as If it might serve to break the
run of winning long shots that has been so
| disastrous There are some three or
four what the handicappers would call
lead-pipe cinches, and even Jockey Joe
tip, and if the truth must be told, they
| will come very near winning: AS they
look so soft, they Will probably be made
| favorites and will at least serve to keep
those awful 20 and so TO / shots from
breaking the punters.
The opening race OF the day is the big
gest pipe of the day. If Lumberman does
not win it, then there will be something
