TURF TALK.
The racing at Iron Hill yesterday
afternoon was of a very ordinary order,
with the exception OF the falling Of three
horses, and two of them were very
heavily played choices, but neither
Jockey or horse were hmt, with the ex-
ception of Ioulahan, who received quite
a shaking up, but came around alright
last night.

ceive the $50 prize offered by the book
makers.

Judge May ruled off Dwycr for his ride
on Wexford, as he thinks he pulled him.
Well, he may be right, but any one VIII"
looked at his horse throughout the race,
could very easily see here he was beaten
on his merits. In the first place when
they got off he was laying third, but had
to pull up, as several horses cut across
him, and before Dwvcrcoul get him GO
out OF it, but still! he did not give up,
like several other Jockeys have done OF
arc. but went after his horses, if such a
thing as catching them were possible.
He was willing and tried his best.
Another thing hat looks in his favor
is hat no book in the ring took any
liberties with him, except what they
would with any iavori!r, and then again
is il not possible ne was NOT as fit as he
might have been. Many say his race on
Monday would warrant him running
