probably furnishing the best material, and
the pick Of these is probably English Lady,
and Ruperta comes next. Riley was proba-
bly, the best three-ycar-old colt IN the Nest
when he won the Louisville DERBY ana
Clark stakes, but as he has been beaten
try and name a great Western three-year-
old colt. Like the sensational two-year-old,
he has yet to come to the 'front.'"
CHANGED TRAINERS.
Theodore Winters is much disappointed
over the showing made by his string this
season, not having won single race yet.
he made great mistake when he let Nc
Cormick 60, and probably realizes it by
now. For a time after McCormick's depar-
ture ALT Estell and Joe Courtney tried
their hands with the horses, but most dis
astrously. Recently another change was
made, and Tom Conley appointed as
trainer-in-chief.

At Morris Park on June 18th A. Bel
mcnts chestnut horse Prince Royal (5l by
Kingfisher, dam imported Princess, carry

mile ami sixteenth in :46la, beating the
previous best record, AN. shared by
Wheeler L 81 So pounds, and Elyton a., JOG
pounds, made respectively at st. Louis and
the Belmont horses seem to be coming into
form it may be well to bear the above per-
Torrance in mind.
DEVELOPED A sPLINT.
1t is now said that the Morris crack two
year-old, Russell, has developed a big
splint on the off fore leg This may posi-
bly, account for his recent poor running.

rite dam of RuperD by imported Eclipse,

TRICKY BoOK-MAKERS.
Lynn 81 Wall, the Washington book
makers, who recently took charge of the
Arlington Driving Park, Baltimore, Nd,
ostenslbly to run races, but really to sell
pools. have been charged by the Grand
jury OF Baltimore County with selling
pools on the WeStchester and st. Louis
races at 81 ticket. This case, which will
be test of the new State law, is watched
with interest by all sporting men. 1t was
understood when Lynn & Wall took charge
of Arlington that their object was to make
books, but that in order to evade the law t
was necessary TO have racing at the track.
Every day couple Of plugs were started
around the track by one of the retainers,
who acted as timer, starter, judge and
everything else. There was no weighing
in. Meantime a thriving business was
being done in the clubhouse nearly, where
pools were sold on all events III other sec
tons of the country. Sometimes there was
not spectator in the grand stand to
witness the alleged race.

QUEER RACE
There was queer race in the 2 "a class
at Denver, Colo, on May 31st. There were
six starters. Sierra la Sale won the first
heat, j won the second and third and in
the latter diStanced Sierra la Sale and
Hailstorm. Then Prince Mcmahon won
the fourth heat aud diStanced G, and also
the fifth heat, distancing Monarch. The
only competitor not distanced was Minnie
Almont, who went to the stable under the
rule for not winning heat in five, and
Prince Mcmahon won a three-in-ive race
in two heats without distancing all the
others. Such complication rarely hap
pens.
Sparkling, the four-year-old colt by Rayon
d'Or, out Of Lucy Wallace. has been ope-
rated on by DIR. Sheppard, and Jimmy Nc
Cormick thinks he will do some good when
fit to start again. He already has twelve
winning brackets to his credit in 1890.
