Criticism on American WAYS.

London, May 4.-The way the Ameri-
cans are running their horses here has
begun to arouse criticism which prom
Uses to increase. It is impossible to
ascertain in advance what horses they
intend TO run in any event. The Sport
ing Times today says: THE Americans
played a bold game in entering horse
like Banquet to be sold for 900. Four
hundred pounds went on him and the
good thing came off in fine style. He
was bought in for $3.50 and it is I'M
derstood that he would not have been
sold for twice that amount. Simms was
again seen to great advantage. There
is no doubt he is really a fine horse
man.
The plunge on Banquet was the talk
of the day, as we have become unac-
customed to such heavy betting. We
cont say we welcome this return to
sport of racing which has always been
held TO be vicious. The subject of sell
ing races is defeated when. for a gamlOl-
ing purpose. q horse is entered for sale
az tenth of his value with the inten-
ton To rebuy him at whatever cost.
From all we can hear the Americans
have not yet played their great cards.
Some day we shall see their favorite in
the still unfit Stonenen. We hear that
the Americans are OVERRIDING the trial
ground at Newmarket. occupying it
morning, noon and night to the eN-
clusion of other trainers"
