THE RACETRACK.
THE MULTITUDE OF SCRATCHES IN THE
RAILROAD HANDICAP INTERPRETED
WITH INTEREST IN THE CONTEST.


What promised to be a contest OF considerable
interest VAS spoiled at Norris Park yesterday
when fifteen out OF eighteen horses named TO start
in the Railroad Handicap, for three-year-olds and
upward. over the Withers Mile. were scratched by
their owners who for various reasons declined TO
accept the conditions. This probably establishes a
record for scratches. Especial attention had been
drawn the race because of the fact that no less
than six Of the thorouEhbreds which raced in the
Metropolitan Saturday were entered These
were Hclobas, ogden. Motley. knight Of Rhodes.
