PULLS AT BRIGHTON.
PUBLIC FORM AT A DISCOUNT

have been known in which more bold and ir,nI,-
dent trickery was practised than was seen yes
terdsy. The racing column Of The Tribune has
said repeatedly that Ny. Engeman and Mr. Bayard
want clean sport, but they are hammered nv tba

iroi INTO lts own hands, and then makes the blum

tives who are too soft, too silly or too absent
minded 10 notice the difference between null and
g push One night at Delmonico's last winter a
prominent steward of the Jockey Club was asked
by g friend why he employed a certain notorious
Jockey, who was spoken of from Barnegat to Oak
land as a puller for poolrooms when the bribe was
big enough. What the answer? This: why
shouldn't hire him? Don't they all pull?" This
remark was made in the hearing of several wit
nesses Are those words significant enough for
intelligent Americans who know how many pool
rooms are fourishing under the protection
o. the Croker-Platt Police Department. and
who familiar with the details of the cor
rupt Croker-Platt deal by which General Tracy
vas put up for Mayor for the express purpose
Of electing Van Wyck and preventing the election
Of an honest Mayor? If Seth Low had been elected
Mayor. certain persons might have had leisure for
the study Of the inside architecture of a certain
municipal building. There a political
leader in this town who expressed his contempt
for honest men just as freely as two conspicuous
Bosses have been expressing their contempt for
honest men IN recent years. That political leader
was asked what his occupation Statesman"
he replied The next query was concerning his re-
hgious belief. mo religion the response.
That statesman" drew his last breath in Ludlow
Street But other statesmen without religious be-
lief, without scruple or conscience or self-respect
or sense Of common decency, are now walking IN
his footsteps in this Borough Of Manhattan. VIII

The weather st Brighton was halcyon Again
the air cool and the sky fair. But the
racing under the supervision Of representatives Of
the Jockey Club was not fair. 1t was foul in the
extreme. For the Rising Generation Stakes for
two-year-olds. at six furlongs. only two ran All
Green and Outlander. All Green was an over
poWering favorite. rs he should have been on pub
lie form. and this in accordance with
public form. All Green defeated Outlander very
easily IN the very sow time of ZIG 30
But the Glen Cove Handicap was one Of the most

was second choice in the ring. It is probable that
Lakeland and his friends made a great deal Of
money out Of this revolving affair. Years ago
Lakeland trained Domino As a two-year-old
Domino was never beaten After his two-year-old
career Lakeland handled Domino in such man
that Domino was defeated several times Lake

With everything fair and square and clean and
honest the issue in the G Cove Handicap would
have been between Da;1d Garrick and Sidney
