JOHN HUNTER DOES NOT WANT ADVICE.
OF course John Hunter president OF the Jockey
cub and chairman Of It's Board OF Stewards does
not want any advice. 1t is generally supposed that
he detests and despises newspapers and newspaper
men. and would be glad II all newspapers could be
abolished at word. and a. newspaper men ex-
terminated a stroke. Mr. Hunter is Of the

Keene's colt Domino previously unbeaten. winner
of the Futurity and most OF the great stakes for
two year Odds last year had failed TO get even
third place In the American Derby at Chicago,

can turf. No other horse that had ever run IN
this country had much money In stakes
and purses for his owner. and none had achieved
so impressive a series OF triumphs in the same
length OF time. The American Derby was won
