WESTERN HORSEMENS RECORD AT YONKERS. New York, July 27. The management of the Empire City meeting have western horsemen to thank for the enlivening of the racing at the Yonkers course. Much of the success that has attended tlie running of the meeting must be credited to the visitors. The westerners have been deservedly successful. Of the sixty-six races that had been decided up to today, thirty-four were won by western horses. II. G. Bedwell continues the most conspicuously successful of the westerners. His stable record to date was eleven firsts, three seconds and four thirds out of twenty-six starts. This average of a race each day is certainly a remarkable showing. His stable winnings for tlie meeting are in excess of ,000, and undoubtedly would have been materially more bad not the Bedwell nominations for the Empire City stakes been voided by the existence of a forfeit against one of ids horses, of which Bedwell was unaware when he forwarded his entries.
