OF son aud sire winning it is in the cnse
of Pontiac, who ia given as being the

was bred by James Galway, esq., in

Paterson, N. J. He won the Metropoli-
tan handicap, nine furlongs, at Morris
Park about two weeks ago, with lis
pounds up, which brought his weight

may as well kiss yer hand to that

"For what? He's lots the best horse
in the race"
He is not, by jugfull. He's never
been the same hoss since that fast mile
Cap tell Woods this morning that if
Ramapo had Tsral on his back he'd win
it too click"
Another pair came out into the court
yard just then and one of them asked
the other:
"Waddidyer do wifi him?"
"Blew him in for 20 on Comanche
He'll learn to quit suckin' aigs after
awhile"
"Why. he's liable to win it. Thought
you said you was goin' to down him for

to that 10 to shot the other day."
swell, Comanche will down him all
yers want to know. He will lead to the
head of the stretch and then shut up
like the door of a meetin' house. I've
got him on the fire and a cookin' now."
Tomorrow the richest 3-year-old race
but one in America is to be run--the
American derby at Chicago. Domino,
the brilliant 2-yesr.old of last year, is
not there. and will not be there, his sta

pipe, being selected. Senator Grady will
probably be the favorite, Hornpipe next,
Dorian third, and as good as s to ought
to be had about any such horses as Cash
Day, Despot, Vassal, Lucky Dog or Laz.
zarone; and it is among the
last four that the HERALD's turf
prophet looks for the winner. The race
was inaugurated in 1884 and won by
Mr.. Ed Corrigan's ch. +. Modesty, by
War Dance. In the four years that fol-
lowed. Mr.. K. j. Baldwin of Santa Anita
won it three times and ran second once.
His winners were Voisnte and Silver
Cloud. by Grimstead and Emperor of
Norfolk. In 1889 when that fluke horse
9. II. Todd won it. Mr.. Baldwin ran
second with that great mare Miss Fcrd.
In 1890 he ran second with Santiago but
was first both in the Sheridan and the
Drexel, hence there is q general belief
that Santiago was pulled in the inter
est OF the bookmakers. 1t led to the
discharge OF ''Pikey Barnes" the rider
of Santiago, very shortly afterwards.
