IcA's FOREMOST RACING MEN
The weather Long Island yesterday was de-
lghtful neither too hot too COOL but the racing
al Sheepshead pleased few except the bookmak-
ers James p Keene's Voter / TO ID in the
first dash, but Spencer was so careless that Voter
narrowly escaped defeat Mr.. Whitney's two-year-
old The Rhymer was at a short price IN the big
field in the second scramble, but the starter and
Turner, who rode The Rhymer so derelfct
thar The Rhymer not first, second or third
in the third clash Clawson rode The Kentuchdan in
fashion which should have got him into trouble,
and The Kentuckian came home third behind
knight Of the Garter and Maid Of Harlem
The fourth act the Tidal Stakes for three
year-olds at a mile. ana this was a Picking
curio. Farmer Leigh, the man with a hoe,
sent two 10 the post udrim and Vulcain
but this was the farmers day for hoeing and
not for scoop:ng. Neither udrim nor vulcain took
q place 8IcMeekn, owned by W. NJ. Barrick was
q strong favorite, and the winner. Mr.. Barrfck is
doing well that, It is said he hopes to be elected
z steward Of the Jockey Club. It is reported that
AleKands- s. Williams. former captain of the
Tenderloin viii support Mr.. Barrick's candidacy.
ana will present the records of Mr.. BarTicks
friendship with Verney Barton and with the Fisher
N whose net Captain Williams exhibited so tender
and paternal interest for many years. Some
seasons ego the G. Hastings stable whose
revenues came from Tenderloin minis was
prominent the turf Those minis have
rusted. and of the partners in that stable died
not long ago IN an insane asylum. While the faro
banks and the dives protected by Devery and
Croker open the Fisher stable likely to pros
per, and what reason IS there why an owner OF a
stable protected the turf should not aspire to
the lofty dignity OF q stewardship IN the Jockey
Club? II Barrick is fit TO horses under the
rules Of the Jockey Club. isn't he fit to hold
stewardship II he get votes enough for the
place? And why should not W. c. DAILY ask his
friends support him for a stewardship? II he
and such as he good enough to race horses
under the palladium of the Jockey Club why is
not W. c. DAILY good enough for a stewardship?
Arthur Featherstone and julius Bauer seem to
think that their jockey OConnor Is an inmacu-
late angel descended from heaven especially to
convince the world that jockey can be a fault
less seraph. even If ". c. DAILY had him In hand
for years, and sent him out into the world to
work mischief Don't Featherstone and Bauer
