SILENT AS TO HIS INTENTIONS
When asked abou, mis- political intentions Mr..
Croker said: Don't, Stop where you Don't
ask me any questions about my political intentions.
Haven't you read in the papers about the fun the
men who engaged in active politics having
with one another? DO not 10 disturb them;
at least. not at present. Politics makes slave out
OF man, and the worry incidental TO active politics
in this city Is too much TO bear. II By any possi-
pleasant subjects"
When asked about his English stable. Mr Croker
smiled pleasantly, as II ne had received cheering
news from his trainer. and remarked: II do not
care to anticipate. but believe that my horses will
win some races. There is nothing TO compla in
about at present On the other hand. there are
many things that encouraging. 50 far the
handcappers are concerned. for one believe that
every American horse VIII receive fair treatmen,

Jubilee Stakes at kempton Park. which is one o.
the most importan:. as well as valuable. Of the
English stakes. II requires good horse win

confidence in them. and expect to them hold VI
