California Horses and Climate.
New YORK, June 11th.-The Tart, Field
and Farm says: The bookmakers will not
soon forget TYrant. They lost heavily on
him on the Withers, and were not lightly
hit by his victory in the Belmont. As the
Tennessee breed was partially reared on
the Pacific coast, we now shall have to hear
a good deal more about the wonderful eli
mate of California. Well, in a few years
we have grown used to this, and the talk is
not likely to prove as Irritating as it once
did. When you have horse with su-
perior turn of speed it is easy to win, if
you have an artist in the saddle.
One hundred thousand dollars is the
amount set down as the winnings of Hag-
gin, owner of Tyrant.
Opening of the sheepshead Bay Races,
New YORK, June 11th.-The June meet
ing of the Coney Island Jockey Club be-
gins to-day at Sheershead Bay, with the
usual enormous list of entries. The prin-
cipal event is the Suburban handicap,
which has been the leading topic in the
turf world during the spring. An i'm
mense amount of money will change hands
on the result. The opening, the five-fur-
longs scramble, is hard race for which to
select winner. Sporting authorities be-
lieye Jim Renwick, in spite of his being on
the verge of breaking down, will win,
though Appleby d Johnsons gelding
Mammonist will make hard fight The
editor of the Sporting World, one of the
best-posted turfmen in the city, says the
three-year-o question as it stands is set
tied so far as Tyrant goes. He is undoubt-
eddy the best three-year-old colt that has
shown thus far. Hitherto the Great Toms,
with one or two exceptions, proved short
coursed. With the turn of speed Tyrant
showed at the end of the three-quarter in
the Withers it was easy to see that he could
outfoot any of the youngsters he had to
contend against. At Jerome Park, he
showed this in the Belmont, where he won
the mile and half in grand style. We
have yet to see whether Tyrant will stand
the drive Thus far the colt has been
of the whip. Now the only three-year-old
able to tackle him is Wanda, and when the
two meet Saturday it will be a race worth
going to see. There will be a test made OF
the law against pool selling at Sheepshead
to-day, and it is probable many arrests will
be made if betting is not confined to book
making.

The New York ColIectorship.
New YORK, June 11th.-The rumor is re-
vived here with great positivenesS that the
resignation of Collector Robertson, of this
I /, l.. r = =.
dent since April, and that the latter has
hesitated about accepting it solely because
of the difficulty of choosing q suitable man
for the position. 1t is also stated as coming
from exceptionally good authority that if
any one outside of the partys garden wall
is to be selected for Collector, Mr.. Tilden
would prefer General Barlow to any candi-
date thus far mentioned. The Sage of
Greystone has not forgotten how manfullv
General Barlow adhered to the right when
he was sent by the Republicans to Florida
in 1876 to aid in fixing up the vote of that
state for Mr. Hayes General Barlow was
a Republican then and the Attorney-Gen-
eral of New York, but he dared to do what
he thought was right and tell the truth,
even though it did shame the devil. This
is why Mr. Tilden will help him if he ever
gets a chance to do it, and it is known that
Mr.. Manning has consulted him touching
this very matter.
