to the press" said a turfman yesterday
Nothing of the Sort" protested turf
writer. Murphy does the work. We must
give him credit whether We like him or
not"
YES" was the reply but the press
backs and boosts him and puts courage in
him and incites him to valiant deeds"
1t Is to laugh. As IL 1t needed any cour-
age to blacksnake a lot of poor, helpless
who knows ne is right. who is quick to act
and who has the courage OF his convictions.
Murphy knows bad ride from good
one, accidental accidents from collusive
accidents. good races from bad ones, etc.
He knows his business, and the men he has
to deal with know he knows It.

to Murphy he is sentenced before he goes
Murphy sees the race. knows he Is right and
acts: A bunch OF phony tickets bet when
the horse ran the bad one and oaths that he
was not bet on when he ran the good one,
He does not seek the motive Of crime
when he sees the crime committed. Ocular
demonstration is good enough for him. Turf

sion. McIntyre's riding at this meeting has
lory's races lead one to shudder when they
think of what George Bennett would have
done to his ancient enemies. Adler. Celia

Jockey Shilling, who was suspended yes
terday. came here with fine recommends
tons to Johnnie Mengel. He rode a race
now and then that would make one think
he was rider. His work on the whole was
miserable. Shilling was riding light weights
