WITH THE HORSES.
Big Match Made in Which the 4Ab- z bolt is Left Out,

8 Boston, March 233.-.A face for. q $5O,OOO purse, made up of $1O,OOO corner and $2O,OOO added by Thomas ". Lawson, between Mir LaWsOn'S Boralma, David Cahill's Charley Herr and George H. Ketcham's Cresceus, is announced by MT Lawson. In state ment issued last night MT lawson says that the race will be decided at Readville in the week beginning Sep tember 16, all the gate receipts to go to charity. The race will be under the ausipces of the New England Trotting Horse Breeders association. MT Lawson said that when the pro- posed race with the Abbott was called off he proceeded to arrange q triangu- lar race.
 The race is to be the best three in five heats, the first horse to take $3O,OOO, and the second horse $2O,00O. Each owner is to deposit $25OO at once, and the balance the night before the race. The gate receipts will be divided equally between the West End Nursery, the Infants Hospital and the Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children Of Boston.
 Mr Scannell called Mir Lawson up on the long-distance telephone yester- day and suggested that as he had con- ceded rything to the BostOnian they ought to get together and make match between the Abbott and Bor- alma, the best four heats in seven. MT Lawson, however, refused to consider the proposition. He said that the in cident was closed and that he would not match Boralma against the Alp bolt under any conditions. He add ed that when the match was declared off he had set about bringing Cresceus, Charley Herr and Boralma together. and that arrangements for this three cornered race had been completed.
 In the opinion of local horsemen. Cresceus will win the three-cornered event. "Now would be good time for the Abbotts owner to challenge the winner of this three-hOrSe race" a well-known driver said last night. with the winner of the Cresceus- Charley Herr Boralma race trotting the Abbott" he continued, i've would have q real championship race. The horse that can beat the winner of the Readville contest-well it will be no use looking beyond hlm for the cham pion. I have an idea that Cresceus will trim Boralma and Charley Herr. If he does a race between him and the Abbott would be the biggest thing in the trotting line that this country ever saw"
 The London Daily Mail says it un- derstands that the application of | "Skeets" Martin the American jockey, for a license for the coming season has been refused.
 According to the same authority an arrangement has been made whereby William c. Whitney becomes the lessee of the Derby favorite, VOlodyov- ski. and also Of Petronius for two sea- sons.
 The Daily Chronicle asserts that the lease scarcely had been signed when Sir Thomas Lipton made an offer for Volodyovski.
 "Skeets" Martin is a product of the California racetracks. After gaming a reputation in the west he came east and protege of Tod Sloane. who then was cutting wide swath on the turt. That was in 1898. He had no trouble in obtaining mounts and made a good record He was not burdened with sense. but he was quick to get away from the post and was successful with free running horses.
 In 1899 he was engaged to ride the horses belonging to Dave Gideon ana John Daily, but his riding was so un- satisfactory to them that they stood him on the ground early in the sea son. and engaged other boys 10 rlde their horses. Then Martin went to England. and there he has been riding for Sir Waldle Griffith ever since. No reason is as signed for the refusal of the English Jockey club to grant license to Mar tin. but it would not be surprising 10
 find that the reason is similar to that
 which influenced the club in refusing
 to grant a license to Sloane. Martln | initiated Sloane closely. and. like
 Sloane lived in the Hotel Ceci When | in London. With Volodyoski carrying MT Whit
 ney's colors-light blue and brown cap this years Derby will possess more | interest for Americans than any DerpS l run since Pierre Lorillard's lroquols placed the far-famed race to his credit | In addition to Volodyoski. MT w mt l ney will be represented in the DerpS
