an Official statement that the Russians

government as sufficient basis for such
important action as the withdrawal oil our

NOT SATISFIED.

to which Was the Better Horse,

New York, September 4.-Willlam c.
whitney, owner Of Ballyhoo Bey, has sent
the following letter to the secretary II
the Coney Island club, in which he ex-
presses his desire to have a race arranged
between Ballyhoo Bey and the Keene colt.
Tommy Atkins.
The running OF the Flatbush stakes re-
Gently was unsatisfactory TO nearly every
one. AS the winner Of the stake was es-
pecially so. The circumstances OF the race
left in doubt the question which horse
would have won in a true run race. il
would be agreeable 10 me II you would
retain from the winnings of my stable at
this meetings the amount won by me in
the Flgtbush stakes and arrange for a
meeting between Ballyhoo Bey and Tom
my Atkins and add this money for me to
such a stake as may be put UP by the
Westchcster association, the race to be at
seven furlongs and equal weights.
IL the event does not occur by reason OF
the non appearance at the post for any
cause of Ballyhoo Bey, you may retain
the money for such fund applicable TO dis
abled Jockeys as we may agree upon
This proposal does not call in quest ON
the decision of the race by the stewards.
1t simply assumes that the race was not
truly run, which all admit. Very respect
fully, William Q. whitney.
The amount won by Mr. Wkitney in the
Flatbush stakes was $4,000.
