THE WITHDRAWAL OF TYRANT
NEW YORK, June 13th.-A wild rumor
was af1oat in sporting circles this morning
regarding the condition of Haggin's colt
Tyrant He was withdrawn from the
Swift stakes, although everybody expected
he would start and that there would be n
grand race between him and Pierre LO-
rillard's FLY Wanda Your correspondent
called on Haggin at his office, but he had
taken the early train for Sheepshead Bay.
His partner, Mr. Mier said There is
nothing in the world the matter with
Tyrant Haggin told me after the colt
won the Belmont he did not intend to en-
ter him for the Swift stakes, but proposed
giving him a rest why, he is entered for
twenty-five races, and has run only two of
them. Haggin has splendid stables, and
doesn't propose to abuse his racers As to
his being afraid of Wanda, that's all bosh.
Eastern people don't know what Tyrant
can do. He can run two miles as easily as
mile, and that is not generally known.
Wanda will have a chance to meet Tyrant
in both the Tidal stakes and the Empori-
UNI sweepstakes, in which both horses are
entered. The latter race is the event of the
Sheepshead meeting. 1t is for three-year
olds, $3.50 each, with $1,000 added by the
Association, and 81 900 to second horse.
Hidalgo is also entered. l suppose this
law against betting in the State will cause
rush to Monmouth Park, n. j.
4" Have you any idea what Haggin's win
nings were on the Belmont?'
No, sir; never asked him. He wouldn't
tell me if did
The Tribune says: 1t was generally ex-
pected among turfmen that Tyrant and
Wanda would meet i'll the Swift stakes to-
day. There has been the liveliest discus
sion fthe relative speed ofthe colt and filly.
The California colt will not start, but Pierre
Lorillard's will meet Brookwood, Grena-
,iier, Exile, Erebus and Telie Doe When
Haggin was asked why he did not start his
horse in the Swift stakes he said: l" do
not believe in running horse toe much.
As he is well engaged, l thought it best to
save him. There is nothing the matter
with him that | know Of"
At the sale of thorOughbreds Yesterday,
under the auspices of the Eastern National
Horse and Cattle Exchange attended by
the most prominent turfmen i'll the East,
Haggin bought for s., 100 the Alta Vela
colt. There were ten youngsters sold, of
which seven were secured for Haggin. The
ten brought $4,000. prices never before
equalled here.
The Sporting World says: Next spring
no doubt all of the California Youngsters
and many Kentucky and Tennessee-bred
yearlings will be sent to this city, where
they will get better chance than on the
home farms
