tural Park stakes. Had there been no
books, the amount would have been so
per cent larger.
David Eismann officiates as pool seller
in the auctions, and has a harder job
than he bargained for, as he sells both
afternoon and evening without any re-
lief. He tried to coach new man, but
the novitiate only lasted five minutes,
although he had had considerable sue
cess in crying bids on real estate. Davie' S
work has given entire satisfaction, ss
pecially as he displays no favoritism.
George Rose has three books on, and 1t
is a poor day when they fail to clean up
$1,000 each, 5000 to the good on heat
being an ordinary occurrence. The odds
they gave are of the field book variety,
except when George has something up
his sleeve" when he becomes suspicious
ly generous. An instance of this kind
was the first heat of the STAN b. race on
Friday. He posted up 3 to on STAN b.,
and after taking in hundreds of dollars,
raised the price to to 5, and afterward
to as high as to 5. All this time he re-
fused bets on Toggles. Togges, Of
course, won, while STAN B., who out
classed him by four seconds, was third.
When the judges inspected the sheets,
they learned that Rose stood to lose
$4,000 on STAN b. had he won, while he
had practically clean sheet on Toggles.
No wonder that the judges declared bets
off. One would suppose that Roses
knowledge was confined to the gallopers,
but it seems that he has a better knowi-
edge of the harness brigade than those
who have been with them for years.
After Hazel II. had won two heats on
Saturday he marked up even money
against her. and the crowd nearly car
ried him off the block Georges opinion
of Hazel was not very high, for instead,
of cutting, he posted to !, while he
offered no odds whatever on Belle is
it any wonder that the dislike against
the bookmaking fraternity is becoming
deeper every day?
The announcement that Mr.. William
Simpson had decided to sell John r.
Gentry, 2:00H at Messrs. w. B. Fasig
& Co.'S sale, the week after the horse
show at Madison Square Garden caused
universal surprise. He will certainly be
the star of the sale. Mr. Simpson decid-
ed that he would not campaign him next
year, and as he has great faith in his own
sires of the Empire City stud, decided TO
sell him. His gift to Trainer Andrews of
a gold chronometer and diamond stud
is graceful acknowledgment of the
trainers services, which expire Novem-
Der l. Mr. Andrews will have public
stable in 1897.
Ranger" in the illustrated Sporting
anu DTdlildtlc NEWS, has the following
to say in regard to American horses on
the English turf:
"One of the chief features of this sea-
sons racing has been the continued sue
cess of the American horses. They We're
not supposed to be very wonderful lot
when they left the United States, but
whether it be Yankee methods of train
ing or their fashion of race riding that
these successes have been due, the fact
a la
without seeing one or more of them in
winning form. 1t is no wonder then that
there are more coming, and it is sign
of the times that Mr.. Lorillard's string
in England has just been strengthened
by the arrival of twelve youngsters from
the Rancocas stud farm, Jobstown, L.
S. They are all twelve yearlings. three
being by the sensational Cambridge
shire winner of 1886, the Sailor Prince,
the sire of Sandia and Diaklxa; eight by
Sensation, sire of BerZack, and one by
Simon Mangus, so that we shall see more
of them than ever running next season.
There are some fresh arrivals from Aus
tralia as well, including the mare Ma
luna, who has a great reputation in
that country, while I happen to know
that several prominent owners mediate
importing race horses from the same
source in the immediate future"
