C. L. HAINEs can boast of one of the
finest road turn outs to be- seen any
where. -iS-t aftA
DR.. II. J. RICHARDS has entered the
bicycle field, his pony Star arriving Fri
day last.
H1ENAU has at least got his hands on
very promising looking colt. He
is good-looker, and is reported as hay-
ing speed.
]. K. GILLESPIE is jogging Tommy
Doid on the road. His condition seems
good, and Jim thinks he is compar-
atiyely sound again. E &
a. PURcELY has beaten his record of
running hop, step and jump, doing
fcrty-seven feet and seven inches, rum
ming two hops and jump.
OSBORN ANGEL. received his ffty-six
inch Victor last week, through the
agents, Evans & Spencer. 1t is good
locker, and the gentleman pronounces
it daisy. istl = AZ
a VERY INTERESTING race comes on on
the 24th of this month between Phallas
and Majolica 1t is for 81 500 side, and
a purse added. This will be a horse
race sure, and all Gotham will be there.
THE ROAM gelding9 owned by Jake
Moritz is puzzler to down on the road.
Jake insists he is trotter, but the man.

THERE WAS a good deal of talk yester-
day of shooting match which was to
have come off between Brim, Denhalter
and Hoffman, ten birds, for a purse of
$50. The grounds were reached but
Brim says the other two backed unac-
countably out.
MAUD S. 1s still at Belmont Park,
Philadelphia, and doing finely. Mr..
Bonner will have Bair trot her this sea-
son to beat her record of last November
at Louisville, Kentucky. That 2:09L is
not her mark. and that Jay Eye See will
not get the best on record this season,
all horsemen are willing to gamble.
L, c. LEE Is doing finely, and Harris
seems anxious for match with the
Cullen side wheeler. There has been a
great deal of talk lately, but no money
Forthcoming to make the talk interest
ing. 1t seems a shame to see so much
speed lying dormant. and so much blow
getting its regular work, but the races
for the 24th will liyen up this tagging
interest in turf matters, and give all the
bows a chance to down the pools.
THE Spirit of the Times says: "To
Widnes L. E. Meyers and ]. NJ. Cowels
journeyed last week and Saturday took
part in the sports promoted by the Ath-
fetic club. Neither of them came away
empty handed, and both did good per-
formances, notably the American. In
the haIf-mile handicap the Yankee
worked in and out of the big field of
twenty-five and eventually finished first
by ten yards, in the wonderful time, tor
a grass course, of 1:57H." Meyers was
scratchman, and conceded to the
Englishman starts ranging from 80 to
60 yards.
PRIOR TO starting for Cleveland, John
Murphy, the driver of Maxey Cobb.
offered to bet $500 to a 81, 900 that he
would take three straight heats in his
race against Phallas, on July 4th. That
he considered his condition and chances
good is beyond question, and as Muir
ply is the foremost horseman of Amer
lea, it seems strange that his judgment
so erred. From report. Phallas had an
easy victory, and the last heat in 2.2o
plainly shows Cobb's lack of condition.
His record of 1917 and half in 1,0514
late last tall shows him to have world
of speed; and New Workers felt secure
as to his staying qualities, all feel conf
del it was not true race and look
forward to another match between the
kings of trotters.
