awho WIN wancnost Of che threc-year-olt stakesT
inquired of Philip Dwysr the other day.
sIt Ioolcs a. II Mr withers has about as good
khsnce as anybody he replied. al reckon Proctor
Knott win win bis share'
aLnke Blaokburn's get VIII probably DO In den"na
ut the yearly sales this seasonf"
haSxaybe so. Most of his colts are TOO snort In
sbssp stride to suit me- Proctor Knott Is long
shsdrr. but he comes by that from his DAM Talla-
pooss, great, big Great Tom mare
@who. in your opinion, is tho coming sireP
aHindoo. But he'll have to hurry up and get
onother Hanover II he wants 10 be popular"
(which was the greater racehorse, Hindoo or Lnke
Blackburnf
morse ever saw. There never was oet'ef tnree-
uear-ohP
But, taking them year in; year out, which was
the betterP
sHndoo. You could place him anywhere and al
ways depend on him. He never went oack on you.
mclaughlin thinks Luke BlacKDurn inc gr0aV0o'
horse he ever rode"
does hef Well, we've had lots Of good ones.
4 think fremont was the greatest twoyearoh the
American turf has ever seen. Miss Woodford was
great wish had another Ike her, thougn
don't take much stock in fllies'
eMr. Haggin sells her daughter hero In Juiy'
ayes. but shant bid high on her. wish she
was colt"
GYou were rather fond Of Dew Drop, think"
@pew Drop was a good hIy. She had burst OF
xpeed that was marvellous, and, when called on IL
tbe rgt time, there few horses that could live
with her'
Coming down to-day, I inquired siter Hanover
ar have great hopes Of his training MI. Dwyer
said $50 far he has not shown the slightest lame
ness I am encouraged TO believe that he VIII stand
,ip from what has been done with Prospect announcer
anoH Ia1f vAaF
nerved about the same time, and Prospect has been
racing half tho winter at Clifton, never, am told,
showing the slightest disposition to favor the doctored
foot i think Luke Blackburn would be racing to-
day Il he had been nsrved You know he gave way
IN the foot
Though Mr. Dryer did not directly say IL, he in-
ttmated strongly that Hanover would be sent Tor the
brooklyn Jockey Club Handicap.
@what of Tho Bard7s asked Shave you good
report Of the hero Of Chesterbrookf"
secrctary Mcintyre, who was busny adjusting
weights and conditions, spoke up: Il saw man
yesterday who had Just como from Mr. Cassafs farm,
and he told me that The Bard Is In fine fettle and
could be sent 10 the post at very short notice"
sYou would Iike TO meet him there, Mr.. Dwyer7'
every much I'D nke to see Hanover try him
nsatn.'
What have you done with your Jockey, Taylori
ds no at works.
9He eoAs down 30 the stable occasionally but there
this week. which, think s good thing to DO as 1t
VIII keep him IN practice
SIT Is said that your brother intends to leave you
after this season and retire from the management OF
rscehorses 10 devote himself to the management Of
race tracksfs
ssI wish % goodness he wouid-that Is, Wssn ne
would Quit betting"
aYou win have the usual weedIng-out sale this
year, supposefs
oh, yes we shan't keep anything like fifty horses;
xouldn't afford It"
The question Of racerack has puzzled for
iopr time It Is easy TO dividends when
ga believe as We told, that $4,000 people were
NJ the track yesterday, 10000 the day before, 10000
on the Fourth Of July, etc., but when we recolect
the facility with which crowds arc overestimated to
ire extent, sometimes, Of 100 per cent by Jockey
club ofcias as wen as by enthusiastic turf WRITER'S
the snri annual division Of spells among the stock
holders grows beautifully less Seeking nght on this
point inquired Of Mr.. Mcintyre;
aTn an estimated attendance OF 1000 people at tho
procklyn Jockey Club racotrack, how many dsadheads
al you suppose there would bel"
svsry sow.s no replied, esreisssIy. Probably two
or three hun6reds
sI,l let you.s said Mr. Dryer, q that nearly half
Of Thorn would be deadhesds; third Of them any
how
. Fifsssu thousand people would be large crowds
ayes. about as large crowd rs ever gees 10 race
IN ibis country. They have bigger crowds at Mel
bourne.s
. II only 5000 people see the Brooklyn Handicap
"a ia suburban the average daily attendance at
our racotacix cannot exceed 5000 That Is liberal
.stiraste. You think Mr.. Dwyer, thatin . crowd Of
5000 thsss would be about 1,6oo deadhsadsr
ssYess Just about.p
II guess we can get 1t IT pretty close nsEi th'ss
