The only horses that seem to be over
looked in the handicap are Susie Howe
and Medca. But otherwise it looks to be
very even race. Our selections are
Mcdica, first PangeS Best, second
Monroe Doctrine, third.
"Tip' Mcintyre is in great demand
just now, as most Of the good boys are
down. There is no use talking, he is a
riding Irishman when he has anywhere
near Il fair horse. His ride on Our MAJ
gle, at Singcrly, last fall, will long be re-
ncmberrd. In that race he rode like a
Garrison the la half mile and beat
Cake Walk by ii head.
Ex-jockcy FitzSimmons was kept busy
cushing tickets as he won on every race.
sam Hart had good bet on Bcs sic
Browning as he thought her good
thing.
II. Conners had good bet ON Llccttc,
but lost it back on Ilumming Bird.
Many Elktonitcs were disappointed at
the failure OF not seeing the match race
which was supposed to come off there
/ yesterday morning. The reason for their
being disappointed was on account OF
Mr.. Goldbatt forfeting his forfeit rather
than take any chances, for reasons of his
own.
Arthur WorIey had good day, as he
played Mohawk and Lucettc very
heavily, but lost part OF it back on Sira.
Old man Gray had a swell bet on his
mare lIumming Bird, as he thought her
good thing.
r. f. Cooper has been in bad form Of
late, but he says the hoodoo will leave
him in Il few days, and then you dice
shooters better look out, as he will skin
all such gamblers as Fcnall Charleston
Mr.. Polite and Tom kimbaI with one
turn of the dice.
When the weights were announced for
the handicap, Tommy seen such light
weight on Sandorme that he worked
him just to see how good he really was,
but don't think Underwood, Pangle or
Weir need have any fear of him beating
them.
Patton won Il race un Salesman, ycsler-
day. but he can thank Mcintyre for not
shutting him off on the turn. Mack is
not quite 50 desperate as he used to be, ,as
he let Cake Walk come up on the inside
of him the other day.
AirpIant Casey wishes it understood
he is not going t" the klundkr, but will
stay right here ~. lic thinks the races are
very easy to beat; his only trouble is he
can't get his money down, but then he
can telegraph t" Dawson City and get on
what lie likes.
Old Papa Jerry ConkIin is killing the
Albany rouI rooms, as he has ca-hed on
several good things of late. All right
Jerry, U>t 50 You don't win the capital
We don't care. Any OF his friends can
write him to the White House Pool
Ron,n, Albany. lIr would hr glad to hear
from them.
Bill Beatty ha,l two hundred on lu.
ccttc will the noughts.
Mackcssy lost Il good bet ON his in-and-
outer Mr.. Wavcrly. think he bet
about S3. - on him. Now, that's II very
good bet for the stout gentleman.
Johnny Pangle shot at the moon, but
missed. He got 10 to ! third on Bert
Never mind, he got even on Gould and
Bessie Browning.
McCauley would have beaten the card
yesterday only he was too busy talking
Jockey IIiggin is doing as well as his
doctor can expect, but he is still unccr-
tain as to the outcome of his trouble.
lie does not feel as confident as he did
yesterday, although he expects he will
recover.
Rcqutal threw load of disappoint-
mcnt at the feet Of his followers at New
Orleans on Wednesday. His Eastern
friends "fcll'' to him in great shape.
Trainers even came from Morris Park
and G;ravcscnd to have small wager on
the Thompson cast off. They went home
disappointed and disgruntlcd Some
blamed McCaffcrty for II poor ride, and
others the horses. He was defeated, any
how.
Again TIE Sun has to call attention Of
players of horses to the good work of
'Tom,ny' Burns at New Orleans. No
''dope' is necessary. The owners Of
horses are "doping' for everybody by
putting up "Tommy' Burns. This
Jockey is the best tip that ever went over
Il wire. Three winners and a second yes
trrday out Of five mounts, and all at
good prices.
