The Horse Races.

As the "patriots" do not intend
to celebrate the 4th OF July this
year, we will suggest to our friends,
the horsemen, to persuade the man
agement Of the Jockey Club to hold
an all-day race instead Of an after
noon meet, AS now contemplated.
The program now arranged for
the 4th is excellent but it is feared
that the events cannot be comfort
ably carried out during an afternoon
meeting.
There will be no boat races; no An
tiques and Horribles (whatever that
may be), no parading of troops (who
won't go to Manila), and no public
exhibition of sugar stocks, as they
go cup"
There will be no athletic sports,
fake baseball games or idiotic ad-
dresses about Bunker Hill (by Pop
corn). In fact the day is open for
good horse races, and "boys" who
back the wrong horses may as we'll
die for whole day sheep as for a
half day lamb.
The races will be the most inter
esting ever seen here. Derby and
EPSON won't be in it, as far as ex-
element is concerned, when Creole,
Irish Lassie, W. Wood, Loupe and
Our Boy start in the free for all
harness race. There will be some
"tall" betting and every one of us
knows that (290 will win.
