mentioned the fact that number Of
dark horses had appeared here. It is we'll
known fact thst the people are as rule pas
sionately fond Of sensations. They delight
In surprises, and rejoice over unexpected
turns of fortune. When such events, how
ever, come from sources wholly unexpected,
then the Joy of the occasion is greatly in

Egypt and Bill Dillon. Garry Owen until,
TINS season never had any reputation, rather,
ne mad the worst reputation possible. He
mad IN him the hands of Mr.. William Jen-
nlngs, who bears the name of an able and skill
1ui horseman. He handled Garry Owen as
three and four year old, but he was worth
less, and Mr.. Jennings could not get any
thing out Of him. He did not win race as
three and four year old. Mr.. Jennings
sold him this spring to Mr.. Mentzer, who
changed the horses name and called him
Mentzer, but the public have dubbed him
"Mintzer." MI. Morris took charge of him
and soon showed him in public, at Chicago,
TO decided advantage. He won two races
there, and at this point he has again come to
the front, and nothing but crack like
Bramble can handle him. Then there is old
Egypt, the rejuvenated old veteran, who now
performs SO astonishingly that he is known
as "Green Morris Two-year- old. -
Bill Dillon has always been a horse of
moderate merit. The three have won here,
and it shows that Mr.. Morris has more than
ordinary judgment of horseaesh, AMI is ex-
pert in developing those parts in horse
which makes him valuable. Egypt had been
doing no good for years, and Mintzer had
never done anything, but MIR. Morris hos
made Egypt forget his tricks and bad hab-
Its, and has made q rafting racehorse out of
the son of Glenelg. There is a valuable les
son here, one which should be studied, for
the results attained are not to be attributed
10 accidental management. Skill and sound
Judgment has played prominent part in it,
while prudence, patience and care have been
the controlling elements in bringing out
two horses that in public estimation were
long since worthless.

courses. as che is slow beginner" as Mr.
motifs expresses it, but after he gets on his
stiiue ne Is Doth rapid and steady, and II
takes first-class racehorse to handle him
am looking for him to appear in the Bowie
Stakes at Baltimore, and, if he does, those
who declare the Glenelgs s'short but swift
will probably change their opinions. Egypt
shows all the speed which SO greatly distin
guished him as three -year-old in the hands
OF Mr.. Dan Swigert, and runs, even under
the severest punishment as true and courage
ously as Virgil ever did. Mintzer ran mile
