The reaction in the way Of attendance
after holiday was very perceptible at the
Island track yesterday A mere cor
poral's guard was on hand 1t looked in
the morning as if it would be clear, but
shortly before the first race the rain com
menced to come down and dismal after
noon with a slippery track w as the result
The betting was very light and the book
makers managed to quit about even with
the talent as three fayorites and a well
played second choice managed to land the
money.
The system OF easing up on horses that
apparently have no chance OF being among
the first three is entirely too common at the
Island track. There are enough "joOs'
put through and enough crooked Jockeys
without adding careless rides al the finish
on horses that are really out for the
money but are pulled up because the boy
thinks they have no chance to win
SHOULD RIDE OUT.
There were several such cases yester-
day and they should he looked after aud
the boys warned to ride out for the money
AS in everything else, however, no at
tentiou is paid them, and the public who
play place aud third horses are often
heavy losers.
Morris rode very poor race on Belwood
and seemed to be riding the horse for an
airing more than anything else. He did not
nuke pains to get off any too well and, when
IL did start, let his mount run up to it's
own courage throughout the entire race
without pushing 1t at all.
The opening race went TO Vennsburg who
was an outsider and was ridden by Neel,
oneoftheboys who hohasbeenlately reinStated.
Columbus did all of the leading until will
a., 4
finished fifth. VcnusbHTg then went to
front and won easily by four lengths
Bronston was hot tip inthe second race,
going to the post al l to 2 He could
not do the trick, however, as Allan l.
10 to | shot, took command at the start
and getting a lead of four or five lengths,
held it to the end, winning pulled up.
BronstOn just managed to beat Sharon one
half length for second money.
WON ALL THE WAY
Woodchopper seemed to have an easy
thing of it in the third race, and closed
a prohibitive favorite at 7 to 10. Sa-
martan, with Patsy McDermott in the
saddle, was also played, being backed
from fives down to threes. Neel beat the
flag with the favorite, and leading all the
way, won with ease from Samaritan, with
Glenall a good third
Despite the fact that she was still sore
Charna was started in the fourth race and
was made a hot favorite, going to the post
at even money. Sir William, the second
choice. made a show of her and won, pulled
up by two lengths from Giggle, who was as
much before the favorite
Dwyer had no trouble in winning the
fifth race with Traitor, who went to the
front. and won in a gallop from Blue Bird,
with Son Malheur third
With both Tancred and Kazan out, FaGin
was made an odds.on favorite for the
closing race. AT post time he was a 3
TO shot, with RoSita second choice at
threPS
Murphy took great chances with the
favorite. He opened up a big gap at
the start. but when he was some five or
six lengths in front going down the back
stretch he jerked Fagin back to his field
and kept him there, only winning by half
q length.
