Have you anything to cay regarding

Mccarthy, the California running chau.
pion.
well, no" said he, and he appeared
very retlcent, indeed, about the late race
and its surprising result.
What do you suppose was the cause
OF the mares being distanced2'
We'll, the heat was intense, the at.
mosphere close and the mud which COW
cred the track was frightful. Ten Brock
has the reputation of winning every
race that he uni in the mud. Ny little
mare could not do anything in sach a
mud, when the heat was as oppressive as
it was. | wa surprised that she did so
well under the circumstances. There ia
an inside track there which was perfect.
ly dry and clean, but no amount of talk
ing on my part could induce the man
agement to allow it to be used"
What was the cause Of that, do you
think2'
Arbitrary management"
DO you think that money had any.
thing to do with it2'
WELL have my doubts about the sub
ject, and don't like to say anything on
that score"
Don't you believe that some one
tempered with the mare2"
No, | do not. l do not remember
ever having seen the mare in better con-
dition. She was just as fac as she could
be-"
Where is the mare now2'
II left her in Kankakee."
What do you intend to have her do
during the remainder of the season2n
II sold her to Bud Doble on the 22d
Of last May, and have no further interest
in her. Another reaOon for the mares
losing was that she was badly ridden and
badly managed by the Jockey who has
always had charge of her heretofore. 1t
seems that he lost hio head entirely from
the excitement"
