THREE CUT OF THE FIVE
EVENTS ON THE CARD-ENTRiEs
Fer MONDAY.
The running meeting of the Wheel.
ing Jockey Club has been in progress
for nine days, and the only thing
which has threatened its success has
been the attitude of some OF the horse
owners who, encouraged by the liber-
ties which they enjoyed at Carnegie.
have attempted Che same kind OF dis
honest racing here. They appear to bs
blind to the fact that they are stand
ing in their own light. inasmuch IA
such a course must result IN bringing
the local meeting 10 al end. They ia
not desire such termination or al
fairs. but there Is a wide difference be-
tween their representations and their
performances. MIR. Ed. Waugh, acting
in the capacity of judge, has brokep
up several combinations, and is verf
watchful, but the necessity for watch
fulness should not exist.
The racing yesterday was very good.
The track was in excellent condition,
and the crowd In the betting ring was
larger than upon any preceding day.
In fact, everything is favorable TO the
success of the meeting, except the
doubts which are entertained in some
of the pool rooms on account OF the
efforts of certain horse owners to FIX
races.
Long shots beat out the favoritss in
three of the five races upon yesterday
afternoons card. The first was won
by Scottie s., Is to l, over Fred Munch,
3 TO 5 fayorite. Frances M, the IA
vorite, won the second race handily.
Judge Warren was the favorite at TO
10 in the third race. and the bookmak-
ers offered to l against Worry Not.
Worry Not made the running for al
most the entire distance, and won as he
pleased.
There was another surprise for the
talent In the first of the six furqong
races. Gov Griggs was the favorite &C
to 2. with Frank Hough, to 2, sec
ond choice. Burkholder has been rid
ing Griggs, but was suspended a few
days ago for pulling. and Neary took
his place. Klondyke set the pace from
the start, with Oracle following two
lengths behind. Neary waited until hs
reached the last turn before calling on
Griggs. and his mount responded
nobly. On the front stretch Griggs
had passed Oracle, and half way down
had collared Klondyke. Both riders
applied the whip, and the horses ran
head and head but klondyke finally
showed his nose in front and won,
while Hough had passed Oracle and
finished third less than two lengths be-
hind.
The last race, for horses which have
run three or more times. and not been
| first or second, was won by Taunton
who showed 80 much speed as TO JUSTIFY
| the suspicion that she was not out TO
| win In previous races. Tutor and,

last turn, and Taunton was In the ruck.
