ii to 3d. The horses that have been rae

Byron McClelland explains Jockey Grif-
fins 'erratic" ride on Henry of Navarro
in the Oriental handicap by saying he
signalled Griffin to slow up, thinking the
pace too fast to last. The joke of the
thing is McCleland mistook Sir Excess
for Navarro, as the colors were identical.
1t was Sir Excess that was racing his
head off, while Navarro was laying back
in an easy spot Griffin, however, saw
the signal to slow up and obeyed it.
At the opening of the season of 1895
there were many who predicted a speedy
downfall for the racing future, and any
man who then entertained the idea of
buying a stable would have been consid-
cred fit subject for a lunatic asylum

royalty. If ever any body of men at
tempted to accomplish what the stewards
of the Jockey club have done in the face
of such adverse circumstances the ma
jority would have declined the issue and
retired considerably worsted from the
game.
If the Jockey club has enemies. and no
body of men deserve to have less, they
cannot do more than to wish them all
success in the future combined with best
wishes for the sport of kings.
The class. or rather lack of class, to g.
year-olds of the present year, is to be
deplored, and is proof positive that gi-
gantic blunders have been made. Judged
solely from a financial point of view the
result would swamp any purely business
concern utterly and irretrievably.
At a moderate estimate there is at |
and raising of thoroughbreds in America.
The 3-year-olds of this year represent |
upward of 1900 yearlings that were put |
on the market in 1898, a great many of |
which brought big prices But what is |
there to show to-day? Not a single g.
year-old that is within 20 pounds OF be- |
ing first-class over a distance with |
weight up.
The Britishers this season are grumb- |
ling at the poor calibre of their 3-year- /
olds. but they must certainly be of a /
much higher class than ours, as on sew /
eral occasions during the season they /
have beaten good class horses at weight /
for age. and have also won several of |
the big handicaps on the other side.

the last of the great au-
tumn handicaps, run for at the Newman
ket on Wednesday last. was won by Mar
CO. a 3-year-old. carrying 1O7 pounds and
defeating a field of 25. AS Marco is by |
no means the best of his year, the g.

OF the number of yearlings raised is now
little in favor of England
Their system of handling and training
must be superior to ours. for year after

In all. or nearly all, of their big events.
There are various reasons for the re- 4
suit being so much In their favor the
first and most important being that they
breed more intelligently and not on the
happy-go-luclSy system that has been in
vogue in this country, where so many
have started I'm to raise thoroughbreds
without experience or the necessary capl-
