FROM THE BOARDWALK.
Numerous Scratches Brought the Well
Filled Events Down to Fair
Proportions.

the regular attendants had q chance to ap-
preciate the improvements made at the
track during the summer. THE betting ring

northeast wind and rain, the bookmakers
especially being made comfortable There
were four less booxies on the line today.
The attendance was knocked down to small
numbers. The new track took the heavy
rain of the morning very well, and instead
of being heavy was only sticky.
The Pinkerton force got after the touts
and sellers Of tips today. the entire group
being driven away from the boardwalk.
They had been so persistent and obtrusive
in hawking their tips as to become nui-
sance, and the ukase issued today was the
consequence of many complaints from pa
irons.

From Paddock and Track.
The Chevy Chase steeplechase on Sat
urday last turned out to be such a good
event that the stewards have decided to
give a renewal, the second race to be run
on Thanksgiving day. This added event
makes seven races for that day and the
attendance will probably be very large.
Yesterdays racing was something of a.
field day for the beokmakers, not an out
and-out favorite scoring a victory. True
ties, with McWilliams and Glenevis, re-
spectively, and all the other events went
to horses against which good odds were
hung up. Saturdays good results for the
''bookies' brought the penciiers back on
the line with a rush. eleven additional
books being ready for business yesterday
They had evidently been waiting for the
turn, and believing that Saturday was the
turning point swung into the business yes
terday. and their winnings demonstrated
their wisdom.
True Blue got of in front in the third
lengths to the good. In the fourth Great
American shot out in front while going up
the backstretch and managed to hold on
until the finish, winning by a length and a
half from Early Eve. In the fifth all the
wise money went to Fading Light, and on
form the talent appeared to have things
rounded up right, but Sir Faust came from
nowhere apparently and beat the favorite
by length and half In the last race
Cameron, with O'Connor up, looked like
ready money, and the bettors turned to
the Follansbee colt to recuperate their
losses. April Shower. with Redeem up.
was entirely overlooked. He shot to the
front at the quarter pole and maintained
this position till the end, winning by a
length and half from the favorite
More track records were hung I'D yester-
day. In the second race Saccha rom eter
went the five and a half furlongs in LOT 2-5
reducing the figures of los. made by Frank
Kenney last week. True Blue ran the mile
and seventy yards in .45 90 reducing the
time of LAG 1-5 made by Wilful last FRI
day, and in the closing race April Shower
ran the mile and forty yards in AZ On
beating Dublin's time of 43 2-5, made last
Thursday.
Jockey Wonderly made his debut at the
fall meeting yesterday, having three
mounts. On the Geisha Girl he was with
the also rams" but on Benckart he landed
second money and on Sir Faust .'copped"
the fifth race in clever style.
There were great wads of money down
on Jim Clark In the last race, but he was
almost left at the post and the cash was
burned I'M Starfar Cocsidr
