that he is q second Proctor Knott. OF course he is

you find people that ever ready to fall down to
worship any idol that their fancy sets up. The
opnions of all such rarely amount TO more than a
uff of air Quarterstretch must have improved
vastly on his form at Gravesend in May If he is OF
any account at all now. Then he was selling

In "Goodwin's Official stake Entries for 1890 his

in one or two important particulars since its second
running. Colts are 10 carry lis pounds, instead of
49, as formerly, and the weight for geldings and
FLIES has been raised from 112 pounds to I'D The
penalties remain the same, but the allowance for
maidcns is now ten pounds, whereas last year and
the year before 1t seven pounds 1t was reported
al Monmouth OH Saturday that W. Fitzpatrick had been
engaged TO ride Theodore Winters's colt Rey del Rey
in the Futurity, bat that impossible as Fltz
patrick could not reduce to 10o pounds to save his
life and that will be Rey del Eey's weight, as he
being a maiden, entitled 20 ali allowance OF ten
pounds. He might get down to 1l3 and ride at five
pounds overweight but it is doubtful If the stable
vould be willing to put up the extra weight Stlll
Rsy del Rev is a strappng youngster and five pounds
might make difference to him. What Of Pierre
Lorilard, thought He has several colts and hnie'

like pretty good one. Wonder what he would TAX
