Bros. he consented to reconsider his deter

engaged by the Monmouth Park authorities
to ferret out the raScals. In the meantime .

SIMILAR ROBBERY.
A similar swindle was perpetrated at
recent meeting in Paris, France. IL nap
pened as follows: Mr.. Ii. Say had morse,
Sweetbriar by name, whose chan ceS 70 WIN
one of the events at Paris Nlncennes IN nat
racing were admitted by all indeed, all the
sporting papers had given him SINE PROB
able winner. Well, the horse did not put N
an appearance. The jockey when asked
the reason said he was told by the
trainer not to start the horse. Inc proprle-
tor struck dumb at not seeing his morse on
the grounds. telegraphs to Carter, his train
or. at COmpiegne. Carter Immediately
comes TO Paris and meets his employer with
these words: "Why, you wired me not to
start the horse" Mr.. Say felt struck dumDer
than ever. Carter bands MN teiegtam
running thus: ''Fr0m Paris TO Richard
Carter, at Compiegue: Do not send Sweet
briar TO the races to-morrow.-H. Say"
Useless to say the telegram was base
fabrication. Both owner and trainer went
to the telegraph office and found there the
original of the dispatch scrawled in badly
counterfeited handwriting; but the writer
and sender they have not found, ana PROB
ably never Will.
The only way to avoid such practices is
the arranging of private cipher between
owner and trainer.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
The Morris new two-year-olds Key West
and Westchester were out for the hrst time
last week, but were easily beaten well back.
They we're said to be the superlOrs OF any
in the stable that have yet been cut and
proved great disappointmentS.
A CAUSE OF CONFUSION.
Much confusion exists in local horsemen's
memories concerning the ownership OF
many of the selling platers in the East. They
change hands daily, and what the Chicago
stable, w. c. DAILY and others own one day
somebody else has the next 1t is almost
impossible on the Coast to keep track OF
the changes.
VALUABLE HORSES.
Competent judges placed the value of the
light harness horses recently at Terre Haute
at S., 000,O00 There were $50 head Of horses
there, including Sunol, Pal0 Alto, Jack,
Fausiina, Roy Wilkes and Axtel.
W. II. DOble recently celebrated his
seventy fourth birthday.
1t is reported that Miller i Sibley of
Franklin, Pa, recently declined $4,000 for
a yearling colt by st. Bel.
A. j. CAssATT RETIREs.
A. j. Cassatt has practically gone out of
the turf actively. He is not racing any
horses this season, he never bets and is
about to sell his yearlingS. His position as
Presiden of the Monmouth Association is
merely an honorary one.
Odden Bowie and Edgar NJ. johnson
have resigned from the Board of Stewards
of the Saratoga Association on account of
the reinstatement of the horse Ballston
without their sanction. Ballston has been
running at Brighton Beach during the past
week, winning once.
Four ElectioneerS have already entered
the 80 list.
PECULIAR TRoTTING RACE,
A remarkable incident occurred in the
first race on the opening day of the Wilkes
barre meeting. The first heat was won by
Electra, the second and third heats by Burt
Sheldon and the fourth and fifth heats by
Buckskin Dick. In the latter heat both
Burt Sheldon and Electra were diStanced
AS i've heats had been tr0tted the other
three competitors, Verona, Richard Wilkes
and Stephie, went to the barn under the
rule, and there was nothing left in the race.
Buckskin Dick therefore had a walkover in
the sixth heat
Naiad Queen. 2:2OA, foaled 1875, has been
placed in training again.
