A. Jackson Joyner and ]. James Hy-
land are in a peculiar predicRment about
bet made last summer at Saratoga. Mr..
Joyner bet Mr.. Hyland 500 that a certain
colt trained by him I'm August Belmont's
stable would vanquish Eakins, the Iro-
quois-Carlotta colt owned by David Cid
con, the first time they met I'm a race.
The bet caused much chatting at the time.
as John Higgins contended that such
bets were never paid when made so far
ahead of a race. The result was that both
Hyland and Joyner put their money up
and Higgins holds the stakes Later in
the season Mr.. Hyland was employed by
August Belmont and Mr.. Joyner took IIy-
lands position as trainer for Mr.. Gid
con; consequently they are training
horses they have bet against John Hug
gins is in England with the stakes, so IT
Is likely that the bet will be declared off
Chicago Post.
In the matter OF the entries made by
roster Bros. OF the horses DR.. Rice, Ell
ORGY and Sullross. the stewards of the
Jockey club found that there is no disa-
bility attaching to these horses, and that !
they are qualified to be entered TO run
on courses under the Jurisdiction of the |
Jockey club.
Fred Foster thinks DR. Rice stands n |
great chance of winning the BROOKLYN
handicap this year. He saws the Doctor /
was a better horse in every way last fan /
IMAM at any time in his career. He work
Cd over the Fair grounds track when II |
was only in fair shape I'm 1:40 and a frac-
uon. roster entered him three times.
but the other horsemen were aware of
the great shape the Doctor was I'm. and
scratched out. After these three attempts
10 race him, Foster turned him nut. He
says II Rice trains on favorably, he will
win the Brooklyn again.
Richard Croker sailed for England on
wednesday. In talking about his horses J
Mr.. Croker said: II have received a list
OF the weights assigned for the early
spring handicaps and am well pleased |
with the allotment. The scale of weights
In England is higher than in this country
NY horses have been treated with the ut
most FAIRNESS, consequently l shall have

Morton, who has charge of nv horses ~
