BLUE WING DOWN AGAIN.
EASILY BEATEN BY sANTALENE AND BESSIE
JUNE.
HuxYuM AND BELLA B. SCORE IN IMPRESSIVE


STYLE,
RAce-gocrs are not so bloodthirsty as some peo-
ole mako believe, but for those who backed Blue
Wing In the Stalwart Stakes al Jerome Park yester
day there was large measure of consolation In
Captain Sam Browns statement that the horse
probably never would race again. Nothing short Of
q breaking down possibly could explain with any
degree Of satisfaction Blue Wings crushing defeat
BY second class FLY and thirdratc gelding In
contest the conditions Of which gave them no
advantage Santalene was conceding him five pounds,
while Bessie juno carried the same weight as Blue
Wing less her allowance of three pounds. Yet
Blue Wing beaten with stunning case. Isaac
Murphy rode him well, but not half so hard as
great majority Of the bcst-Inforned betting men
whose money he carried. All manner Of
excuse had been made for the horses defeat by
Frank Ward at Gravesend last week, and the pub
lie were SO certain that he would redeem himself
yesterday that all plunged with one accord, eagerly
swapping up the small bait Of to 3 that the
boohmakcrs dsngled before them AS good as to
could be had against Bessie June, while Santalene
went begging at 10, 10 and 20 to I. The appear
ance Of Murphy, whom the Dryers now have
second call, the rider Of Blue Wing, followed by
the announcement that Garrison would have the
mount on Bessie June, caused no little wonder 1t
that Captain Brown dissatisfied with
McIaughlin's riding of his horse at Gravesend,
and the Dryers were inclined to withdraw Bessie
June, they consented TO release Murphy, at the
captains request Az the laSt moment IL was uc-
cided that Bessie June should start, and Murphy
being already engaged, the mount offered TO
Garrison. The Dryers backed their FLY heavily
for place at TO 5. Blue Wing led fer quar-
tcrmile, pulling Murphy out of the saddle at every
stride. Rounding Picnic HIll santaleDe gained a
lead Of two lengths which he continued TO increase

nation by Garrison, securing 1t by a neck Blue

time in his career, heavily in debt to the betting
public who too blindy followed him. Better let
crippes alone Trainer Rogers has a reputation
second to none this continent as repairer OF
usedup, broken-down thoroughbreds, but all men
fail at times. For nearly eighteen months he has
been at work on Blue Wing end when the horse

dollars by his stable and the public and looked upon

The Dryers and the public did not agree in their
estimate Of Bella BIS chances In the third race,

her run loose. Not dollar OF their money went on
