the Quaker City Jockey Club had some good
horses at the track for a three-day meet

had at Saratoga a couple of months later
for his horse haven meeting, when only
twenty-seven horses were on the grounds.
Special trains from New York brought a
couple of thousand people to Suffolk Park
on that hot June day in 49, said the for

question of supremacy was not settled
until the very last day of the season. This
year New York has been going at a win

cunning somehow or other. Some say 1t

has shown a world of Improvement A

who has proved a very fine all round man
and whose hitting has been especially val

might and main and play as II they were
doing something besides waiting for salary

played their string out in every game they
have played in this city this year.
There isn't a tinge of doubt that the
Athletics would have been at the top of
the American League ladder today had they
not been deprived of the services of Lave"
Cross, although young Knight has been
breaking into the place very cleverly OF
late. Manager Connie Mack has the
highest opinion of Knight and is very con-

goes on.
Here we have had very little of the
weather that enables the pitchers to let
themselves out as they do when the veal her

Suffolk Parks Great Horses.

Aftermath of the decision and the Judi
cial decision awarding the money TO Ward s
fiily, Miss Cotton. showed a lot of discus
sion owing to the unprecedented nature Of
the occurrence
The consensus of opinion, however was
that the judges could not have ruled In any
other manner under the rules, although the
other owners in the race scored Ward for
his merciless shrewdness and quick action.
The starter, Col. Gardiner, was given an
other drum to finish out the day and off,
clally cautioned not to use so much mus
cular force In future.
During this meeting at Suffolk Park In
1854 such great long distance horses as
ldiewild, Thunder, Jerome, Edgar, Black
bird John Morgan, Reporter, Captain
Moore, Lodi Aldebaran and Southerner
took part. John NJ. Clay also ran w R.

bian.
In the early fifties American Minister
Ryan, at Morocco. was presented by the
sultan with four Arabian staIlions-Stam-
bone. kochlain. Tilcadi and Yemen. -aey
were later sent to New York and sold at
auction. Henry Clay, the great commoner,
took the two first named to Kentucky,
While Yemen went to Georgia and Tflcadi
to Louisiana.
From these Arabs some good race horses
descended. Arab Massoud, imported from
Arabia by A. K. Richards of Kentucky
also sired some good American racers.
About the only specimens of the desert
Arab now in this country are at the Homer
Davenport farms, at Morris Plains, N J.,
where the well-known cartoonist has three
