THE RACETRACK.,
STRANGE RESULTS AT MORRIS PARK
WHAT DOES THE JOCKEY CLUB THINK OF
BrpNs-

BURNS
At Morris Park yesterday more OF the unpleasant
and unsatisfactory racing which has been so fire.
ouent and so fragrant in this State this year was
eaxed upon with wonder. Handsels reversal OF
form was one Of the offensive seen for long
time On Thursday. october 6. Handsel. ridden by
that amazing Jockey Burns was the favorte in a
selling race over the withers milc. The crack was
sof, and wet and heavy Handsel was nowhere
near place. The time was l;42s4 maXmo Gomez
was very easy nrst. Scotch Piaid WAS second
Fstaca was third. and Long Acre Premier ana
others crossed the line in front OF Handsel In ls'
Handsel won the White Plains Handicap with
marked ease by several lengths on. soft. wet ana
heavy track He carried very light weight, but he
ran well that he scattered the heid-"spread-
eagled" the fed as he liked. Handsel IS iona OF Il
sof;. wet and heavy track
Ridden by that precious Jewel OF western jockeys
Burns, Handscl was nowhere on soft NET and
heavy tract on Thursday Yesterday. ridden by
Corbley -Na rot the favoI1te. as he was on Thurs-
day. Hans. 70, soft, wet and heavy track won
the last race the withers mile in extremely
easy style IN l:42is Behind him were MaH'mo
Gomez. the winner on Thursday in LIZA. Orion.

Is not this plain case for the Jockey Club? II

But that sweet Jockey, Burns, rode Handsei on
Thursday, and Corbley who. comparatively speak

Has the Jockey Club watched the riding OF that
boy Burns sharply? The Jockey Club has I'M
mense resources and a copious income Can II
not AFFORD 10 appoint committee OF investigation
Of the riding of Burns in this State this year. witS
the understanding that the committee shall employ
lawyers Of note and detectives of renown! Inc
task ought not TO be put In the hands OF the
Pinkerton detectives. because tho gentie-natured
Plnkerton detectives have too many friends In the
bettng-rtng They are too kind-hearted TOO sac
eharne, too amiable too ndulgent TOO full OF nip
podos and henbane and hyoscyanuis TO get at the
inner truth Of this matter. When did the Plnker-
ton detectives search out the heart OF the
mystery OF any turf Job? They derive an enor-
nous revenue from tracks Of the Brighton type
Can they therefore ever be unselhshly dis
interestedy and sincerely eager and anxious
TO disclose the truth concerning the frauds
which are practised IN the betting-rngs OF
certain tracks? Last winter bill was introduced
at Albany which. II IL had become law. would
have had a damaging effect on racetracks. 1t did
not become a law Several bills are likely 10 be IN
troduced at Albany in the coming winter which
may affect the turf H. this State almost as seriously
es the turf In NewJsrsey has been affected is,
not possible that one of those bills will become a
law? The people Of this State not fools They
have seen many disagrceable things occur on the
tracks in this big town this year. They may pos
ebly have made UP their minds that such things
are not worthy Of enthusiastic encouragement and
that the n-and-out running Mnlcn naS otrh The S
