GENERAL, TURF NEWS AND COMMENTS.
Mr. withers will probably be seen at sheepshead !

William L. Scott ,,
sIn bet you hat can name the colt ina. wiz
,ea, FL Rio Rev I'm the White Plains Handicap" SAID
the coal baron to the Sage of Brookdae
none, said the man who never bets on his horses.
Mr. scott named Leighton, one OF his own youngsters
rather clever colt by Rayon dor out OF LArgenune'
Hamilton was engaged TO ride him and ten minutes
before the race Mr. Scott was seen going through the
hating ring presenting bookmaker with 800 bills
in consideration for worthless pieces OF cardboard
which he carefully pocketed Leighton carried only
1Io pounds. well ridden, and finished fourth
half length behind ST. Carlo, and three lengths be
hind the winner, who was conoeding him fourteen
pounds.
This little incident is mentioned only for the pur-
nose Of showing what Mr.. Scott and his trainer think
NJ Leighton Leighton is almost to represent
the Algeria Stable In the race for the Futurity on
Wednesday He will have to carry 115 pounds, and
IL is not at all likely that Hamilton will ride him, as
Senator Hearst viii claim the services of his Jockey,
who is just now the most popular on the American
turf. II, however, Mr.. Scott and Trainer Leighton
for whom the colt is named, seriously imagined they
could beat the imperial Fl Rio Rey with him, they
must feel absolutely confident of winning the Futurty,
for In that fat stake worth some 5000 neither Mr.
winteB's peerless colt nor E. Browns fleet lilly
Rupera is eligible TO start. It is now generally
understood among racing that Leighton is the
best colt in Mr.. Scotts stable Torso is wofnly
amiss and Banquet has never been himself since his
f1ghtful runaway experience at Sheepshead in June
So have eye leighton In summing the chances
pf Futurity candidates.
1t is the writer's opinion that ST. Carlo. with
difference of pounds in the weights, holds
leighton perfectly safe in the Futur1ty. In the
White Plains Handicap Hamilton rode out TO The
end while Garrison certainly made no ehort 10
get the place with st. Carlo, pulling up as soon as
ne saw that his mount had no earthly chance OF
beating the fsvorite In doing this he obeyed James
Rowe's orders. Both Mr.. Belmont and his trainer
thought they could beat Ell Rio Rey. They made
10 secret of that, and Garrison must have shared
their confidence, for he backed st. Carlo to VIM
Being unable to win 1T would have been bad policy
In view OF his Futurity engagement, to expose the
rolt by riding him out for second money. Mr.. Bel
mont who is always perfectly frank when speaking
Of his racing establishment, has not hesitated 10 In
form his club friends that St Carlo has entirely
recovered his spring form. This means good DEAL
the colts easy victory IN tho race ior the "roa
American Stakes IN May capital performance
On that occasion the best colts in the East WIN
the single exception of Cayuga, were behind him ana
he gave every of them a ten pound Deauns
It was feared at the time that St. Carlo was too
case, for he lost his form, descending so low
that hasty people pronounced him a counterfeit
The race Saturday did him good, and II may
he predicted with large degree of safety mat uIe
colt or FLY which beats him on Wednesday VIII VIII
the Futurity.
One Of his most dan gerous opponents IS colt nomi-
mated by Leonard W. jerome. This Is no other uah

hut whose recent dsgacefu defeats at Saratoga place
him almost beneath notice. The writer cannot recon-
Gle his western form with that shown at the springs
THERE'S something somewhere. In the race for

thirteen starters, including FL Rio Rcy Protection

Now is there o colt in the East that give FL Rio

uneS said Of that that Mclaughlin, who rode
Penn p never had chance until the final sixteenth
Before the race Mclaughlin offered to bet 10 to
considerable amount that he would beat FL Rio Rey
His offer was not taken. After the he asked the
owner of Penn P to price the COLT as he contemplated
blydne him. Mr.. Mack said: S35000'l Penn p

On his Chicago form there is nothing in the that

so wetched that no could conscientiously select
him the winner

place.
wyndham and King Thomas great unknowns.
Matthew Allen is apparently overpowered by the
responsibility Of having TO train 10000 colt II
King Thomas had cost % ,0003 he would have run
dozcn races before this. 1t is said, however that he

Great Eclipse. If King Thomas is worth $4,000
y,l Rio Rev is worth 100000. 1t is time for the

his quality.
Another man, who, like Mr.. Allen, believes In
the saving process, is william Jennings, of Mary

taved Dunboyne for the Brooklyn Handicap then
