One Of the best known turfmen, who owns
a big stable and bets heavily, said yesterday in
regard to the starting problem:
1T Is to be hoped that the Jockey Club
stewards will not pay heed to the clamor for
a moving start. There is only one way to
start horses and that Is with the nat footed
lbreak. II a heavily played horse is a bit
fractions at the barrier and Is inclined to
! vhirl, what chance would he have under
such circumstance with the field under head
way and a number OF fast breakers ridden by
such alert boys as Miller. Radtke, Shaw,
Martin and others? Why, he would be beaten
right at the post for he never could maze up
a lost advantage, no matter how small But
with a fiat foot ed break, even II such a horse
did whlrl or prop himself for a moment, the
Others would not be able to get into their full
stride be fore he had been made to break
Then he would have a chance to get up with
the bunch. and the hackers would get at least
' q run for their money. With q moving start
cert ain Jockeys and certain horses would
have an even greater advantage over Others
than at present, and l believe that the SaiUlng
would be even more unsatisfactory thah

years ago, that Cassidy was permitted to use
'the walk up system at Jamaica, you will find
that the starting was wholly unsatisfactory
There was a great howl against 1t then, and
the Jockey Club wisely went back TO first

: should be permitted to use his own methods
and that u he could not make good then
some other starter should be engaged. The
engagen emit OF Dwyer for the Brighton meet
ing will do much toward solving the problem
and at the same time demonstr ating the wis

What is the matter with Lucien Lyme these
DAYS? He started off with some splendid
riding, but of late he has Shown 80 much poor
work that the critics are up in arms. Lyne's
performance on Kcator and Masaniello, both
favorites, yesterday was enough to make
the most conservative critic cry out in protest.

he fell in his previous race. was a distinct
