FOUR CAPITAL RACES. 1
Fin? Weathtr, Fast Track and
Fashionable Attendance.
Donnybrook, Patience, Tom Ochiltree and
Coronet the Winners.
Thoie who left Now York yesterday to witness the >
race* at Long Branch had a double enjoyment, the
Oral being ibo delightful sail tiwu the bay end the
tecond the exciting running that came of!' at Mull
mouth Park. The attendance was uol as large as it
had been on Ibo two preceding daya, but those who at- j
tended were perlectly satisfied with everylhii g they ;
saw in the shape of racing. This was a class who nrg
lecl everything to get to the races, while there wore a
fashionable cia.%*? persons of leisure who are sojourning
at the hotels at the Branch and who were at the
raco course merely to kill time. The admixture of the
two classes is a healthy oue, as they fraternize like one
family around the pool stands and admire good racing
with an equal rrllsh. The meeting progressed very
lat islactorllv, and should ail rome off thnt is promised
Saturday will be a gula day at Monmouth Park
tut first hack

igas, entrance money to the second and third hordes;

attempt to abolli-h or silence touts lies the larger quae

our present purpose la, however, to point out thai
the recant dead beat between Camdlla sod Koguerrsnde
lor tbe Oaks, and the subsequent division ol
slakes between them, have awakened widespread diaaatislaotion
id thoughtful racing circle*. There are
live three-year old racea la tbe courae ol every year,
whicb. in our opinion, ought never to be allowed to
terminate In a dead heal. Theae racea are, ol court#,
the Derby aud Oaks si Kpsom, ihe St. Leger st Doncaster
and the Two Thousand and One Thousand at
Newmarket. Ae<>lt< au ?>n but three ol tbom, and
the five bare never yet been carried off by the same
filly, although tbere is little doubt tbat, II entered,
Quoea ol Trumps would have won there all in 1835 and
Virago in lhAA. They are 10 the aanlring three-year
old what tbe Senior tVranglsrsbln, tbe headship
ol the Classical Tripos aud Smith's Prise are
to the ambitious Cantabrigian undergraduate. It
may, indeed, be urged that it Is possible lor two
torn to be braeketed eq.al In an/ of iho Cambridge
competitions, as waa the case with the late I,ord Lyttelton
and Dr. Vaugbau la the Classical Tripoa ol IMS.
Dm It la not possible lor tlie human dead beat, It we
may so expre-s it, to be run oil; wbereaa the equine
dead beat inviins and even demands tbo Immediate
aolutiea ef a deciding trial. Nothing is more certain
tban that the lunovaiion of dividing stakes lor the
great tbree-year-old races la in direct antagonism to
the bitbcrio received usage and practice ol the British
turf, and wc du not scruple lo aver that the Derby and
It). I.eger would have lost something of their national
lustre it they had been divided belweeu any of the
three pairs of dead-heaters which I he judge was unable
to scpiraie in ISgS, lflli# aud Itsotl. As matters now
siami Cadi* rid, Charles XII. and V'olligeur a?
indelibly registered upon inc Illustrious scroll of
Iierby aud M. i.eger wiuners, whereas Formosa received
much less credit lor tho Two Thousand which
she divided w iih Moslem than lor either ol the other
three great race*?the One Thousand, the Ouks

have no manner ol doubt that If llm question of
dividing or running oil tne iaat Oaks had been j>uI to
the vole among all the adult males who worn assent
hieit on ihe course an immense majori'y of voices
would have declared in favor of a urrioiug heat. Is it
not possiule lor tleneral I'eel. Lord Koscbery and their
revising coudjutora to emancipate themselves tor onco
Irom lite lethargic s ecp which has so long held the
Joekev Club spellbound and to convert the unwritten
trudiiion ol llm turt into a living statute. denniug certain
Iliree year-old races in which divis ous alter dead
heals shall be lorlndden lieuoelorth and forever?
It i? maintained, we are informed, on the other hand,
that such a statute as we propose will, in lb a liret place,
milllaie against an owner's lights ol property, and,
secondly, will operate solely in tho interest ot
the bookmakers. "Why," asa our opponents,
"should not the two owners ol dead-heaters be left
to divide if t hey choose, auu it the ground is so hard
that ihey are apprehensive about the legs and stuews
ol their lavorilos?" We reply that, if tho state ol the
ground is to he taken into consideration, tt would I e belter
to lollow the example of our ktusineo in the United
Males, who often deler a race from day to day until
the weather and ground are suitablu lor its celebration.
Hut, in additlou, the popular instinct, which it seldom
wrong, emphatically pronounces thut 'he Derby tad
Oaks are not really won when partitioned b tween two
dead-beaters. The "blue ribbon ol the turf" doet not
admit ol being sliced down tnc centre and aivmea into
two strips, deliverable to a brace of recipients. In ibe
words of Montrose's old love song?
lie eillier tears l)i> taie 100 much,
Or his deserts are small.
Who dares not put It to the touch.
To train or lose It ell.
As for the argument that the proposed enactment
would operate solely in ihe interest of the bookmakers
it Is too absurd to be maintained lor a momeul. 1 he
truth lies in an exactly opposite direction, tor the
interest of the oookraaners prescribes tbnt the exist
ing law shall not be altered Who that was present at
Epsom upon the Oaks day can forget the roar of triumph
which issued Iroiu the riug when the nuinbers'of
Cainella and Enguerrande went up aide by sldof
Tbat roar meant that many bookmakers hau laid double
or treble event nets, which they would have lost if
Catneila bad won the Oaks outright But the truth Is
tbat the sole thing calculated to prevent or delay the
introduction of an all but univeranlly demanded emendation
is the unaccountable conservative torpor which
baa long possessed the Jockey Club. "Men," says Mr.
Disraeli, "are more governed by words than by acta,"
and the mere phrase that some proposed law ''will
operate in tho Interest oi the bookmakers" is sulllcienl
lo induce our mrl legislators to do nothing, even alter
the lalstty o! the said phrase has been again and again
laid bare. It is as impossible to buve two wluners
of the Derby as to hate iwti Prime Ministers with
co ordinate rahk aud equal weight. In the days of
the Koman Kepublic some such compromiso was attempted
in the arrangement which gave supreme authority
to each ol tho two consuls upon alternate days.
Ibe result was that the most crushing defeat ever experienced
by the lormer mistress of the world was her
p< rtion at Canute. Prior to that latal day one of tho
consuls, AJmil us Paulus. was disinclined to give batVie,
but his colleague, Terantius Varro, was equally
bent npon lighting it out. Consequently upon Yarro's
day ol command ttia red ensign, the well knowu signal
lor baitle. was seen flying over hia quarters, and
we all know tnc catastrophe which followed. It Is oar
emphatic hope lhal the Rip Van Winkles ol the Jockey
Club will awake to a cun-ciousness that -omelhtng is
expected from their revising eomraitiee. and that no
reiorm can possibly be more popular than the enactment
of such a law as we have ventured to recommend.

CRUELTY TO TURTLES.
I
HENBY BKBOH S VIEWS ON' THE QUESTION OF
TREATING THE TOOTHSOME CRUSTACEA.
N'kw York, July 6, 1870.
To the Editor or the Herald:?
Your otherwise accurate report of the turtle ease,
In the Court ol Special Sessions, omitted the most important
leature of it, to wit:?the astounding verdict,
' necessary cruelly." Where Mr. Justice Bisby obtained
his legal authority for this decision he would
not even allow me to inquire, but, as you CDrrectly
Slate, relused me a hearing. It Is true that 1 represent
two ol the highest legal offices in the Slate in all mat- j
tern relating to the protection of animals, but I suppose |
he thought be had good and sufficient reasons for commanding
me to "sit down." 1 do not complain, lor I
have bcon so many years accustomed to rebuke (or
trying to do a duty which no one elee will anueruke
to periorm lor the public in my stead, that, like
Smlke, when asked it he was not hungry, and replied,
"no, 1 am used to it," so, likewise, 1 replied to
a gentleman en the occasion alluded to, who inquired
of me bow I managed to endure all the treatment I
rocsived without a murmur, that "1 am uaad lo H; the
cuo.-c id everything; no matter forme" But to the
point
You a.e aware that laws have been enacted (or the
prevention of cruelty to aalmala, and a society chartered
to enforce tbos# laws. New, there is no such
thing as legal, or ueccssary or justitlub.e cruelty. The
| word cruelty iu llselt, like the word murder, imports a
| legal meaning oi au offence. Such la the law, and
i such is tne siiproms authority of the State.
The prosecution produced witnesses lo establish the
overt act, and then put on the stand two gentlemen
highly dist.ncuished for their scientific attainments
and their particular knowledge ol the structure and
I habits ol the animal in question?namely, Professor
Chaualcr ,1'reoident ol the Health Board, aud Dr. A. N.
Bell, editor of the .sanitarian, both ot whom moat cmI
pbuiicaily testified that the treatment described did ocI
casion physical pain und sullering to the creature, and
| was unnecessary, besides vitiating the flesh of the antI
in an tor human lood. Halteviug that tho case tor the
t people bad beeu substantiated lhore rested. For the
delcnce there, was only one witness, a clerical
expert, a "minister ol the Uospei," and, strange
I to any, a Baptist, who slated that ho
1 had been experimenting in a back yard en two turtles,
: one ol wbich he tied in the insnner charged in the complaint,
and the other he allowed to roam about at large.
I I he reault ol this experience was that the one which
! ?raa hrtufiri itnrl laid on ill htr.lc 44 fAlL morn rnmlnrL.
able," in bis opinion, than the one that was enjov tng
his liberty aud independence?a declaration which T
hold to be equally at variance with both physical and
moral law. The only queaiion that 1 lelt aestroua of
, putting to tbo reverend gentleman waa ruled by Hla
I Honor to be tnadmissable?10 wit, bow tar it comported
I with Ins sacred duty as a " minuter of the Gospel " to
| try paiMul experiments ou helpless dumb animals, and
to volunteer his views in opposition to n society whose
sole mission is mercy to the suffering, one ot the most
! adorable attributes ol our common father in Heaven.
| And thus terminated ior the present the third attempt
I to extcud to tbo turtle the same humane provision* of
I law winch have succeeded 111 reforming the cruel praeI
tloe ol binding the legs ol calves and sheep and trans;
porting them >n a paintul manner. With no feeling of
1 malice 10 any one the Society, it i* true, has tailed In
its humane purposes in I his instance.
But one reflect ion I may be excused for giving utterance
to, and that ts the regret I feel that a portion of
the press should strive to make a personal matter of
that which is ol general import, and employ extra
sued type in announcing "tne ignominious defeat of
Mr. Hergh, Ac." Now, mat person has not sustained
{ any defeat whatever. He is but an agent of (be law,
I and if defeat there be It ia rather the law* and the
: cause ol humanity whicn suiter thereby, not be. Kespectlully,
HENRY HERGH, President.
I supplemental to the commuoicaiioD which I have
the honor to tend to you lor publication 1 enclose extract*
irout some ol tne letters sent to rae sustaining .
the buinitoe side ot the question.
Louts Agassn saya:?"to say that tartlet do not suffer
when dragged from tnetr natural place, tied that
they may not be able to move, turned upside down,
Ac., la simply absurd. It I* true that they can live for
a long time without food or drink; but* they do teet
pain, and are indeed very sensitive to some injuries.
1 hat ol turning upside down, among others, is sufficient,
ior instance, to provent their eggs irom natching.
Tbetr sufferings maybe interred by the violent
and convulsive movements to which the perloration of
I llieir tins gives rise, and yet 10 this proceeding dealers
| In turtles generally resort in order to do them mora
, closely and pack a large number In a entailer apace. "
Proteaeor Chandler, President of tbe Health Board,
adds;?"There is no doubt that these animals are
keenly souaitivo to the tortures ol punetured Una and
Inverted position, ana that the flesh of theae as well as
ol all other animals that have been subjected to prolonged
suflering la uuflt lor lood. I fully agree with
tar. Burgh id bis condemnation of the barbarities
practised upon turtles."
Dr. A. N. Bell, editor of the Aoni/arton, says:?"It
la decidedly cruel to pierce their flits, and ought lo be
prohibited Any one who will lake the pains 10
examine the structure of the turtle will become convinced
that it is nm wanting in its nervous portion to
a degree which renders it insensible to pain, but ibo
contrary. Tno position adds to the cruelty, and if long
kept up results in causing a diseased condition of its
(le?h, rendering it unwholesome?a condition common
to ali animals used lor food. A s< re or wound In any
part impairs the quality ol tho meal vl the whole, and
this is rendered worse by leasing, overdriving, continemcni.
Ac, Ac, o! the animals, lor food without exeep
lion. And I have no doubt wnaiever that the flesh of
animals thus treated is a proline source of disease."
Dr. Charles Bern iCki. Irieno and student ol the great
Kokiiantky. ol Vienna, also says'the turtle is an
amphibious animal, and it la cruel to deprive It of
eater It is cruol to keep <1 on its back; and the c?n- i
sequences of this prolonged position ou the back and
of tb.a cruel treatment, are nervous prostration, irrrg j
