TAMMANY is IN FINE FORM.
AN Effort TO MATCH HIM AND LAMP.
LIGHTER.
MR. wALBAUM, HOWEVER, WOULD NOT AGREE
TO THE TERMS oFFERED-YESTERDAY'S

RACING At GRAvEsEND.
r,mmany. Marcus Days peerless Of 1ro-
ros and Tullahona. made his first appearance
=, the year at Gravesend yesterday. His work OF
late had been hattering that his trainer De-
clded to give him easy race before pitung MN
against the cracks" The chance came yesterday
an the second race. in which the conditions let
him in at 100 10 against a rather ordinary lot
none Of which had won race of the value OF
1900 in 1893. His showing was so fine that his
trainer at instructed friend 10 telegraph TO
Guttenburg, saying that II the offers OF Mr.. wal
baum for a match with Lamplighter were genuine
Tammany would meet him Saturday for $4,000
a, Guttenburg or any other track that could be
settled on.
Every one expected that Mr.. Walbaum would
eagerly accept the offer. but the reply from Mr..
Walbaum turned expectation TO disgust The
answer that he would run 1nmplighter against
Tammany on Thursday. September 2s. for 500
side with s. 800 added by the association; If the
track should be bad on that day. the race to be
run the first day thereafter that the track was
good When NJ Byrnes the answer he eX-
pressed himself in pretty plain language, ana OF
course said no such offer could be countenanced
There general regret expressed when 1t was
learned that the match had fallen through. 1t Is
surprising that the Gutenberg people did not see
the great advantage such a race would be TO their
track 1t thought that they would jump at
the chance even at $4,000 side. but their ofer
al 800 makes IL look as III some one ndu Wtdheieu
The two colts are booked TO meet tomorrow at
Gravesend, in the First Special, but the chances
are that Lamplighter will be withdrawn, for to run
him would give Gravesend the attraction that
t;uttenburg has missed. and this Mr.. Walbaum is
hardly likely to do.
The opening contest yesterday was conceded to
Fairy If the betting could be used a criterion. as
she was plunged at to T. and even TO .. she
rewarded this confidence by winning but 1t was due
more good luck than to superior speed AL the
betting-ring Topgallant. who had been trailing
started to close In way that must have landed
him the winner but he had just begun his run
when he stumbled and all but fell Luckily ne ala
not go down. and Midgeley went at him
again. and so we'll did he \respond. that
in furious drive Fairy beat him only mead
Roslyn was third. three lengths further back.
The second race was Tammany's He looked
,rine big as he out for his preliminary
eallop but moved in way which showed ms long

sIong easily for six furlongs then moved up WI"
