the Futurity by a boy named Henry, who once
rode pet coyote triumphantly IN Petaluma but
who has as much grasp OF the genuine elements
Of high class jockeyship Mayor Van Wyck has
Of the initial principles Of common honesty. 1t is
conceded everywhere that the average voter who
casts ballot for Mckinley and Roosevelt can file
claim for full dinner pail for four years. unless
he puts a bet of Henry's mounts The
hacker Of Henry's mounts will find that his dinner
pail has nothing in it
KEEPING KEENE COLTS IN THE STABLE.
Even with Henry in the saddle Olympian not
far behind Ballyhoo Bey in the Futurity- Then
Ballyhoo Bey and Oympian carried III pounds
each. BY the conditions of the Flatbush Ballyhoo
Bey was required TO carry 120 pounds, while Olym-
plans weight only 105. Why was not Olympian
started Why Commando started? Was
James Rowe, trainer Of Tommy Atkins, DESTROYS
that the Keene colors should be overcast in the
Flatbush? After the amazing which lost the
Futurity for the Keenes and handed it to William
c Whitney. why a similar error, equally
amazing committed yesterday? Why does not
James r. Keene return to New-York and take
hold Of his stable instead Of leaving it to be mis-
managed by dolts and dodos? Or why does he not
order every horse Of his TO be shipped abroad and
raced abroad under his eyes?
FoxhaH Keene told the truth when he declared in
the hearing Of many persons that Tommy Atkins
the favorite had been used unfairly and fouled out
rageousy in the Flatbush. The colt fouled
over and over again by the Louisiana Lottery colt
Smile. who probably started for the express
purpose Of fouling the favorite and he fouled
mere than once by BaIyhoo Bey But James
r Keene and Foxhall Keene altogether sure that
certain persons who draw money from the Keene
bank accounts are always leal and loyal in all
things? TITS is one Of the most sickening scan
dals known the turf for a long time. An in
innate friend Of James Rowe says that Mr.. Rowe
has fortune of AT least $4,000 above every
liability. Where did he get It? By sending comic
opera companies on the road? Isn't IT about time
for Rowe to send out another comic opera company
make tour Of the country with one OF his
big troop Of favorite singers the star?
Before the Flatbush was run talk in various
groups was fiery and denunciatory. The prevalent
feeling is that the Keene stable would have
the Futurity had II not been for treachery in
tain quarters in which loyalty and fidelity might
have been expected. The prevalent feeling is also
that the Keene colors would have been first in the
Flatbush but that more treachery gave the race to
Ballyhoo Bey.
CRIMINAL FoULING IN A SMALL FIELD.
Only four ran in the Flatbush. although the
Keene stable had at least half dozen eligible and

Spencer; the Whitney colt Ballyhoo Bey ridden by
