ridden in 10 seconds fiat. The watches

Goggles Were Needed Yesterday.

What 'Pittsburg PHIL said about
putting isinglass goggles on race horses
particularly in muddy going and on
jockeys, at any time the turf is likely
to fly and the necessity for adopting his
ideas. was certainly emphasized at the
track yesterday. When the jockeys dis
mounted at the end of the third race
they We're sorry looking spectacles. They
were mud from head to feet and their
faces were so despatched with the
heavy sticky stuff, that they were not
recognizable. More than one Jockey
was compelled to pick the mud from his
eyes so that he might be able to see to
walk to the scales. Three of the little
fellows stated that they rode part of
the race with eyes closed, being afraid
to open them while the mud was flying
and not wishing to be blind before the
finish.
