THE AMERICAN TURF.
Three California Horses Victorious at
Latonia.

LatOnla.
by Telegraph
CINCINNATI, May 29h.-It was Califor-
MAS day at Latonia to-day The Golden
State started il three races and won them
all. Two OF them were among the most
important events of the meeting-the Hin
doc, which is Latonias Derby, and the
Merchants stake. E. j. Baldwin started
Silver Cloud with Murphy, and Liiero with
Barnes. Blue Wing, ridden by Garrison,
was the tavorite, 3 TO ). Silver Cloud was
10 l. The Californian took the lead at
the start and was never headed, beating the
Kentucky crack good half-length. The
time was 2:40-fairly good for the dusty
track, but due to slow going for the first
mile Haggin's Tyrant, with Duffy up,
won the Merchants in handsome style,
| beating Freeland, with Murphy, Hopedale
and Editor. Freelands left foreleg, with
its swollen pastern, looked serious after the
race. He will probably never win a great
race again. The time was 1:57I. but Tvrant
won hands down, and could have done the
distance much faster He is looked upon
as one Of the best horses of the year in the
races, as good, if not better, than Modesty
and Volante. Laredo, one of Baldwin's
| two-year- olds, was practically left at the
| post in n long dash with thirteen starters,
and with the top weight, but he came
| through III the stretch and won easily.

GOSSIP ABOUT BAN FOX.
New YORK. May 29th.-The Sporting
World says: The question whether the
favorite for the great Suburban. Ban Fox
will start, has agitated the public mind for
some time, ard an announcement in the
present issue that Haggin has struck out
all his horses from the Louisville engage
ments will go further to convince racing

gin are determined to have their rights.
One of the most prominent book makers at
Jerome Park said " Haggin will not back
Ban Fox for the Suburban unless he can
get considerable sum on him at fair
prices. | think five to one is a fair price
will bet Haggin $4,000 to $4,000 against
Ban Fox for the Suburban" Haggin said
to the proposition Five to one is no
price to accept for horse two weeks before
a race. Part of our horses are going to
st. Louis, and the other division is coming
to Sheepshead Bay. and will be on hand a
few days before the race. Ban Fox is only
three-year- old. The race is run in spring.
and he has always had the worst of weights
We must stand the risk of accident during
shipment, and the danger of his giving
away in that dickey leg of his" Philip
Dwyer the well-known Brooklyn owner of
racers. said Haggin ought to get at least ten
to one against Ban Fox. " l am not
bookmaker, but l would bet him $4,000
against 81 ,0O0 and think | had the best of
the bet"
