HARlEM RACING. Yesterday at Harlem tbe crowd got up and howled like so mt-ny dcg3 over judge Hamiltons decision in the third race. He placed Gold Fox, who won by a lengtby neck, first, but these who bad bet on Bishop Reed, thought he bad won and took exception to the "Colonels" decision. All this noise was raised simply because Gold Fox was on the extreme inside and Bishop Reed was away on the outside. This .made a bad angle for those who wer i not directly under the wire to see and they unreasonably thought the horse on the outside bed won. That BiBhop Beed was tho best and should have won is beyond a doubt, but jockey Mitchell, who rode him, threw the race away. On the stretch turn he was far in front but he foolishly went to the whip. This had a tendency to make the Bishop bear out and in doing so he lost a lot of ground and also 1-ft plenty of room for Gold Fox to come up on the inside. Knight, on the latter, took advantage of this, and coming with a rush, he beat BiBhop Reed by almost a half length, but when his number wa hung out the crowd surged violently around the judges stand, and for an instant a riot looked possible. Capt. Foraee, however, was "Johnny on the spot" and soon dispersed the crowd and also quieted the noise. The way in which Sam Fallen won the three-quarters race for two-year-olds won for bim many new friends This colt did not carry much we ght, but he set his own pace and stepped six furlongB in 1:14 without the least bit of trouble. George H. Eetcham, who belongs to oca of the Foster Brothers, cleverly won the first race from Bitter Root and Contessa. He was a 7 to 1 shot, and was well ridden by Rose The latter is a very rough rider at time3 and in this rce he sharply interfered with Vanduoen on Bitter Boot. The winner was entered to ba sold, for 00, but "Cass" Sloan said "00" and George Foster let him go at that price. The fourth, fifth and sixth races were very-tame affairs. Crocket had only John Baker and Algareta to beat in the fourth and she did that very easily. The filly was a i to 5 favorite and Nutt rode her. He trailed in behind the other two to tbe stretch and then galloped over them as though they were tied. Tha fifth was at six and one-half furloDgs, and what Maceo did with Canova and Kensington was a caution. He was a stanch favorite at 11 to 10, and after waiting on Keneington and Canova to the Btreich he passed them at will and won under gentle restraint. There were thirteen in the last, a five-furlong scramble for two-year-olds, and In Debt heavily back- d by handicapper Ed OMalley at 15, 6 and 3 to 1, won very ealy. j Over Jockey Everett being ruled off for his ride on Lord Z-ni Wednesday, there was considerable talk around tho grounds. It eoems to be the opinion of many of the horsemen that the judges picked a very bad spot in which to land the b y. Still, they may possess some fucts ihiit have not been made public. That Lord Zeni ran his race is a certtinty. He was tiyingtogivo Bishop Reed nine pounds, and both at their beBt, tho latter is the batter j horse of tbe two. In the race that ha beat Lord Zeni he equalled the track rec rd, and at no part f the journey did Lord Zeni ever have a chance to got near him
