full II the horse will ever be able to start
again, although he will attempt to train
him next year. / asked Mr.. Dunn II he
thought the horse was anything like as
good as he was year ago. mot by Is
pounds" was his reply. He said Flying
Dutchman was as fast colt as he ever
saw, but was unlucky. At two he was
as good colt as showed in the west, but
got colt when he came east and could
not run bit. Last year he thinks for a
mile he was as good as almost any colt
except Rey Del Carreres. I think the
colt showed the effort of his hard racing
when he arrived east, although he was
complaining then.-The Horseman.
The following is from the statutes of
California, chapter CLXXXV:
Act of making it unlawful to refuse ad-
mission to place Of amusement, approved

any corporation, person or association,

person over the age of twenty one years

! The selling race is mighty good thing
| for some people, but the better class of
| turfmen think it should be abolished
| or at any rate to curtail the number of
| such races. A correspondent recently
| asked the Breeder and Horseman to
| explain to him what selling stake was
| A selling stake is a selling fake. This
| is the best explanation we can give. The
practice of entering stake horses for on
| ly a fraction of their actual value in or
der to secure light weight and thus prac-
| tically giving them the race should be
discouraged. Formerly it was consid-
cred unsportsmanlike to bid up the
winner Of a selling race, but tits not so
| regarded in England, and even in this
| country the man who bids UP a horse
| over his selling price is no longer Cooked
| down. upon. M. r. Dwyer lost Banquet
| and other horses in England last year
by having them bid UP over what they
had been entered for. At Gravesend,
| the other day, in the Youthful. a SELL
| ing stake" Mr.. Dwyer entered Cleophus
to be sold for $1,000, price far below her
| true value. She was allowed to carry
| 95 pounds. She won. of course. which
was pleasant, but she was bid up to
| $45O0, which was not so pleasant. Mr..
Dwyer bid the extra amount and kept
| the filly. Those who bid on Cleophus
were r. Thompson, owner of the Brook
| dale stable and M. Murphy. AS is well
known Mr. Dwyer does not own the
filly, only her racing qualities, and he
| was bound to protect her at any cost. 1t
may be thatMessrs. Thompson and Muir
ply knew this, but whether they did or
| not they are not to be blamed for what
| they did; on the contrary, they are to be
commended.-Breeder and Horseman.
| THE RING.
George Green, the San Francisco well
ter-weight who recently defeated Tom
Tracey at Woodward's pavilion in San
Francisco, is now open to fight any man
in the world in his class. Green's best
weight is 145 pounds. He has been chal-
lenged to return match by Tracey, and
he will probably accept. At present ne
is awaiting the arrival of an important
letter from London, which he under
stands contains an offer OF some klho
from the National club.
w. w. Naughton, the pugilistic. ex-
pert, thus writes in the San Francisco
Examiner:
ut is the excitement of the political
campaign, no doubt, that prevents peo-
pie from enjoying Thoroughly all the
| twists and turns of the Corbett-F1tZ-
simmons -Sharkey comedy. 1t may be,
| though, that the farce has dragged
along, like Chinese drama, for so many
years that the production has lost its
| power to either amuse or interest. we
all thought a few weeks ago that Bob
and Jim were nearer to a mill than ever
| before, but now we learn that there Is
no money up; that the articles have not
been signed, and that the two most IA
| nous actor champions of the world are
"out on the road" intent on making hay
| while the footlights shine. AS for Shar-
key, he evidently wasn't cut out for the
| business He deserves to be disciplined
by the Bruisers' Protective association
for wanting to fight.
