WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
Racing at Delmar Park during the past
week has not been a. bright as during the
earlier part OF the meeting. Not that the
racing was poor or not to form. but the
edge Of 1t seemed to be dull. No doubt the
awfully hot weather had Its effect upon
men and manners as well a. upon horses.
The riding OF the boys operating at the
track has notceably improved. particularly
that OF O'Neill. the star lightweight. The
boys parents evidently made q wise move

has better lot OF horses to ride. yet 1t does
not seem 90. The Hayes stable IN q good

Dale has been doing some up-to-date rid

cleverly manipulated his mount to the
physical disadvantage Of others in the race.
He has repeatedly pulled in and out to

ting long shots In the money. He can get
more good show bets for his party than any
boy riding This is probably due to the fact
that some three or four boys at the track
can outride him a little. while he can handle
the others as he pleases. Outside of Dale,
O'Brien. O'Neill and Gilmore. the riding
talent at Delmar is scarce worthy Of con-
sideration. Patton is q good boy. but has
not yet been on a horse good enough to let
him do his best work.
The meeting has been very clean and
sweet in the form Of the horses. To be
sure, the continued streak Of fast tracks Is
largely responsible for this. Horsemen who
are inclined to triae always like a change
of track right along. The track at Delmar
has been SO much one way and so true that
there has not been any chance excuse for
in-and-out running.
Mr.. Dade's starting has been uniformly
good. 1t is neither overbriiliant nor over
miserable; 1t is that best and safest Of
things, honest and just medium. Then the
public has confidence in him and that Is it
ali. AS long as the public has confidence
in him the track owners must be satisfied.

overdeliberation in putting up numbers In

load seems to be a tribe more than he cares
to pack.
