tween this mechanical exchange" and the
regular exchanges is that.you cannot re-margin.
If the market goes one point against you, you
are ''scooped," and that settles that deal. II
you wish to continue the grain business" you
can do so by making new deal" If the margin
should happen to go in your favor, every point
doubles the original amount invested. You can

missed at the Washington spring meeting this
year is Father Bill" DAILY. The management
of the Clifton track are giving six $500 purses
each week in order to induce horse owners to
not come here, and to some extent have accom-
plished the desired end. 'Father Bill" thinks
he can win more races at Clifton, and you can
always find him where he can catch the most
fish," He had horses engaged in all the stakes
here. but forfeited IN all OF Llem.
The Dwyer Bros. of New York, have been
attending the races here. They will not start
any horses until the Brooklyn meeting opens.
Mr.. Mike Dwyer thinks Hanover will have no
trouble in winning the Brooklyn handicap if
he trains on well. The best looking old horses in
the stable are Fordham, Belle b and Inspector
b. Kingston so far is training well, but if he
has any trouble in his foot he Will undergo the
same operation as Hanover. In the 2-year-
olds the Dwyers have grandly bred lot. Just
think of a brother to Hanover, brother to
Firenzi, brother 20 Blue Wing, brother to Dry
Monopole brother to Kingston, brother to Jim
Gore a black colt by H1ndoo or George Kim
ney, out of Uproar; sister to fremont, sister to
Lizzie Dwyer, half-brother to Romp. This is
Certainly the grandest bred lot OF youngsters
ever owned by any one stable, and ought to be
heard from before the season is over
The opinion here of the talent generally is
that Mr.. Withersi 3-year-old colt Favorable will
win most of the early 3-year-old stakes in the
East, unless some of Mr.. Browns should upset
all calculations. Favorable is in grand shape.
ABOUT PROCTOR KNOTT.
Proctor Knott's race in the Two Thousand
sweepstakes at Nashville on Thursday has
started the gossipers. They all say that Knott
will be greater prize as a S-yesr-old than he
was last year.
The steeplechase here, on Thursday last,
for gentlemen members Of the club, was the
event of the day. The riders had all practiced
the jumps, and their many admirers were
present to cheer them on. In the Senate
steeplecl-dse, on Tuesday, every rider or
horse fell save Hercules, the winner, and
many predicted that none of the gentleman
'iocksh would get over the water-jump, but
the gloomy fOrebOdings proved to be illusiYe,
as only two fell and they quickly remounted
and went the full course. Mr.. Hayes the rider
of the winner, Venus, rode an excellent race,
and was roundly cheered by the ladies when he
finished first. The odds were 10 to ] at the
close against Venus
The handicap steeplechase on Friday was
another disastrous affair for the professional
jockeys AT one time every horse in the race
was riderless but Mara, the rider Of Jake Ship
sey, caught his horse first, remounted and won
the race amid great excitement and applause.
Updyke. the rider of Killarney was trampled
upon by ElphIn and had several Of his ribs
broken. Smith, the rider of Lighthouse, was
also pretty badly bruised. The sooner steeple-
chasing is done away with the better it will be
for the turf Most of the horse owners are
averse to it on account of the great danger to
human life, but as long as racing associations
hang up good purses someone will take the
risk of having horse and rider lose their
lives. It is singular that steeplechase will
always insure a large attendance of ladies, it
appearing TO be an amusing sight to them to
see several horses and jockeys come tumbling
over one another at the water jump or at the
stone wall.
PIttsburg Phil did not attend the Washing
ton races this spring. He is a little supersti-
tious and as long as he is doing well at Clifton
he will keep away from Washington and Balti-
more. He got little the worst of 1t here last
spring.
Washington baseball enthusiasts saw that
the Senators win not get into form until the
warm weather sets in. The Senators are warm
weather players and some get consolation in
fthe fact that warm weather must soon come.
Garrison had his first mount on Young Duke
at Clifton last Wednesday. The best he could
do was to get second place. JUNE.
