ed burden bearer. the absent minded beggar
Tommy Atkins, that somewhat hashy but
fairly rapid colt Olympian. And that blunder lost
the Futurity.
CRUMBS OF COMFORT.
Mr. Keene, however can console himself with
these crumbs OF comfort: He owns the sire of the
winner: he owns the second and third horses he
bred the second. Olympian. who sired by his
idoliZed horse Domino, out of Belle of haywood;
he will be expected to give HIS trainer 5000
or his Jockey 5000. Mr. Whitney will not only
pay Sloan 5000 and his expenses. but in his JOY
winning the Futurity, he will probably pass
over certified check for $4,000 John E. Madden
Mr.. Keene Will not hand $4,000 check to Mr.
It was odd that Mr. Whitney WIS on steamship

side of the ferry while his colts were getting

Clawson fell sick and could not ride 1t was origi-
CIawson should ride Tommy Atkins. and OConnOr
should ride Cap and Bells. Had Clawson not been

Keene colts would have been first and second IN

The gIaddest and merriest in America after

WILL THERE BE A RECONCILIATION?
It is possible that the victory of Mr.. Whitney
il the Futurity will lead to a reconciliation with
Mr. Keene Last December the bear operations
Mr. Keene with his allies associates and friends
in Wall Street Mr.. Whitney's allies. asso-
ciates and friends several millions of dollars. No
doubt they have recovered those losses since De-
eember but of them were wrathful and Bit

SOME TURF FEATURES AND INCIDENTS.
Ballyhoo Bey winner OF the Futurity. is hand
some symmetrical brown colt by Kingston out of
BaIlyhoo. He takes the eye and he has smooth
easy action. No doubt he possesses genuine merit
in his way but he must outrun Commando and
Tommy Atkins and Bonnibert and some others at
weights a dry, fast track before he proves
himself worthy to rank with the best of the Fu-
turity winners of past years. As matters now
look his success yesterday was due solely TO
Sloane's peerless riding.
The attendance was enormous, the betting was
furious and the gains OF the bookmakers were pro
digious. In most OF the famous and popular races
this year the favUrites were vanqushed, and the
public has lost large amounts. In the Metropolitan
Handicap it is true Ethebert won first place fairly
and squarely on his merits. and the public was
popular races the Brooklyn Handicap, the Sub
urban Handicap, the Brighton Handicap and the
Futurty, the public favortes have been conquered,
the public losses have been heartrending and the
profits of the bookmakers have been stupendous.
