erberteining programme at Jerome Park yesterday
there had been withdrawals. But Montana was
taken the Bsrnegat, and the hearts of all true
horscmcn sank within them. Montana and Potomac
were expected TO make noble fight of 1t. The air
was filled with surmises. the general guess being that
Marcus Daily and his trainer Matthew Byrles. were
afrad 10 run Montana against Potomac. and were
waiting for path IN the rich Omnibus stakes, in
which Potomac cannot start on account OF Mr. Bel

and trainer Of Montana biting injustice. They may be

up TO the final furlong. Potomac is sluggish, ike
many other great horses. and Hamilton had TO shake
him up and do a bit Of riding. But when the JOCKEY
got fairly at work there doubt of the result

manner Look at the $4,000 Boiere! II Bolcro is
worth s35O-et alone S35.000-Potomac must be worth
somewhere near S350.ooO. What turfmen are thinking
Of when they paw $4,000 for King Thomas, $4,000
for Bolero S33, 800 for Tournament, $2 800 for
Canvass and let Potomac go for only $4,000, passeth
understanding.
Milton Young the noted breeder made very
snrewd and judcious investment yesterday He
entered into a bargain with Michael Dwyer to pay
him $50 900 for Potomac and Longstreet when the
two noble racers are retired from training. In
this majestic pair Mr.. Young will possess Two
SUPERB stations. II Potomac keeps on as he Is
doing, and fulfs completely his magnificent twoyear
old promise, he is worth $4,000 as stallion morse
of his size, shape, action, constitution style quality

penny Of that sum- and in England for service

Isaac has had serious sins of tockeyshp to answer

Handicap be laid his account, because no In
