BOLD KNIGHT A HOT ONE
Jockey Morgan Has Gone to Riverside
The June Meeting of the Coney
Island Club the Most Sue
cessful in It's History.

l
Marcus Daily ordered Jockey Morgan
| to go out to the ranch in Montana to-
ward the close of the Sheepshead Bay
meeting. Morgan was one of the best
| jockeys riding early in the season. He
simply did not know the meaning IF
the word fear, and would take any sort
| of a chance to come on and win. In
| betting on his mounts the bettor was
| always sure of a run for his money, as
he never pulled up, even if he did think
he was beaten, but was trying until he
reached the wire, so there was always
a chance of saving the third money.
| Undoubtedly Mr.. Daily has the best in
| terests of Morgan at heart, however,
| and his temporary exile may turn on.
| to be the best thing for him. First OF
| ALL it will give his injured shoulder
good opportunity to entirely heal, and
when Morgan returns later on, as 1T is
presumed, he and his form will be up
| to a high standard
| Bold knight, in the first race yester-
| day, was a good thing of the first water
1t was telegraphed to California and
| back here again. And mint of money
| was won on him all over the United
| property of s. Levy. Just who S. Levy
| is no one seems to know, but everyone
| spoke of the horse as Steve L'Homnie-
deus, although Mr.. LHommedieu de-
| MED the ownership. The colt is trained
by Billy Karrick. Anyway, L'Homme-
dieu won barrel of money on the race
| and put several painful twists and
quirks into the gentlemen who hold
| forth in the ring.

| Merry Prince in the second race. Mer-

where he finished so Koehne saved his
money.
Matt Allen, with former Corporation
Counsel Clarkes string, Jim Mccormick
with l.. V. Bells string, and j. j. Hy-

left for Saratoga yesterday morning.
| Pat Dunno won a large bunch of
money on his horse Bannockburn. He
and his friends thought they could use

drop to earth on Fly by Nights race
| few days ago. -
| The white sand heap in the paddock
| in which the horses roll has great in
| terest for people who are not familiar
| with the ways of the thoroughbred:
| 1t is a fine thing for cooling them out
!
| saying that a horse that could roll
entirely over was worth $1,000, but that
| saying doesn't hold good as lots of the
good horses can't roll over, and lots do
| roll over that are not worth one hun
| dred cents.
| have heard a good many people
| speak of Byron McClellands death as
hard luck for Billy Oliver. 1 suppose
| Mr. Oliver did feel that luck was a
trifie against him, but I don't think it
| was, as genial, good-hearted Billy
| would have gone on paying feed bills
| and ten dollars to start and ten dollars
| to jockeys, and now he is saved that
expense. Personally, don't think it
| likely that he would be called on to
pay a jockey $25 often enough to make
Byron McClelands death real hard
| ship.
In the fifth race. when Starter Fitz
| gave the word go Clawson, who was
riding Buela, called out to Spencer and
| McCue, who were on Lakeland and
| Clonsilla respectively, Come on. you
bum jocks" Clawson was very conf
dent of winning with his mount, and it
was backed very heavily by the stable
and outside bettors.
The largest and best crowd in every
| way since the opening at Brighton was
in attendance yesterday. 1t partook
l
| ness appearance. ! notice the laCleS
| are getting to feel more at home and
| are wandering up and down in front
| of the grandstand, as they used to do
| at SheepShead Bay.
The Spirit of the Times has the fol-
| lowing:
Man-o'-War, sire of the steeplechas-
| ers Manifesto and Gentle Ida, was a
selling plate hurdler when on the turf,
| and on his retirement to the stud was
| available for half-bred mares at two
sovereigns each. 1t is something of 9.
record that two of the progeny Of a
| horse like this should have been sold
| for something like $4,000. Vac \Nictis,
| dam of Manifesto, was thoroughbred
mare, but bad roarer, and Man-o'-
| War was the only horse to whom she
threw anything good.
'Mr. Chamblet," whose stable was
| one of the strongest in the country
| short time ago, has met with run of
extremely bad luck. Moslem struck
| himself in his last hurdle race and in
| jured himself quite severely, necessi-
tating more or less prolonged rest.

seen in many day, when in the lead

! burg, Va, though she was the property
of Robert Neville. Mr.. Neville sold the
mare to Mr. Chamblet." 1t is not
proba BILE that she will ever again start
| in any event between the flags, while
| Diversion, who had already shown him

| and is now in the hands of Dr. Shepard,
| and it is extremely doubtful if he will
start again this season.
The thoroughbred department of the
! famous Palo Alto breeding establish
ment is to be abandoned. In October
next Racine and Flambeau, two well
known stations, will be sold, as will all
| the rest of the thoroughbreds save
those too old for service. Flambeau is
chestnut horse by Wild IdIe-imp

that finished second in the Futurity in
1895. Racine is a son of Bishop and
