ard 8 WI fornjtnhSe - - thae How
aboos s<hss Of the Domino estf Two days
aftsr 0ympisn forced volodyovski to
break the Derby record Cap and Bells ran
the Derby course OF about mile and
half and won the Oaks with such ridicu-
lous ease that her nearest competitor was
six lengths behind. Her time was 2A4 rs.
or SIS seconds slower than the time In
which volodyovski ran practically the
same distance. Who shall say that II
Domino's daughter had been harder
pressed she would not have equalled and.
perhaps, lowered volodyovski's record?
And what shal! be said CT Domino's great
est son. Commando. who Is burning up
the American tracks, has run mile faster
than any three-year-old that anybody
hereabouts has ever heard Of and has been
able to retain his speed and go as far as he
has been asked to 60. distance little
short Of one and half miles?
When, however, the performances Of
American thoroughbreds in England are
recalled. not only during the present year
but in years past. II does seem to be true
that the English thoroughbred has better
staying qualities than the horse OF Amer
lean breeding. With the exception OF the
victories Of Mr.. KEENR's Foxhall and Mr..
LoRII.L.RD's Iroquois. years ago and the
one winning this year OF Mr.. LoRILLARD's
David Garrick. our horses have shown
TO better advantage on the English tracks
In the shorter races. Mr.. WHIrNEY's
Prince Charles was regarded a. one Of the
best two-year-olds here last year. Mr..
WHITNEYs Kilmarnock was regarded by
many last year as the best three-year-old
in the United States. When Prince Charles
was asked to 90 the Derby distance and
win. he made q poor response. In the few
races that Kilmarnock has run this year
In England he has shown little evidence
Of his last years form.
Many reasons may be advanced for the
inability Of our horses when running on
foreign tracks to 20 distance. Ii may be,
for instance. that Prince Charles is not as
good three year-old rs he was two-year-
old. 1t may be that Kilmarnock would
not have been the horse he was last year
under any circumstances. But this is
fact: For several years American owners
Of thoroughbreds have discouraged dis
tance racing. They have protested 10
racing associations against races as long as
or longer than mile and half. The re-
suit has been that our horses have been
trained for performances Of the touch
and-go style Then, too. American horses
are not used to carrying the weight inn
posed upon English horses. When Amer
lean owners conclude that distance racing
is worth their while. and that ability to
carry weight at any age and for any distance
Is an evidence Of stamina. there may be
more American winners Of the English
Derby and the Oaks.

America on the British Turf.

The racing over the Downs at EPSON
during the past week has been OF especial
interest to the citizens Of the United States,
whether they have an acute or mild in
terest in the racing OF running thorough
breds The winner OF the Derby was an
English bred horse to be sure, but he was
owned by Yankee. trained by Yankee
and ridden by Yankee. In tho Oaks,
run on Friday, the Americans had every
thing pretty much their own way The
results in these two important events
on the English turf made the blood of
thousands of Americans course bit
quicker, not because Of their own special
and particular interest in horse racing.
but because Americans were at the fore
in them. The American flag waves no
less smartly over a foreign racetrack
after an American victory than in foreign
sea after the triumph of our arms.
The racing at EPSON. however, had in
terest primarily for the horsempn To the
thoughtful among these The Derby and the
Oaks most Offer subjects for interesting
reflection. SO far Us the Derby is con-
cerned it is undoubtedly rue that the best
horse won. But because he was born
and bred on the other side and only leased
for the occasion by Mr.. WHITNEY. il Is
probably true that great majority of
Americans would have been much better
pleased had the race been won either by
Mr.. WHITNEYs Prince Charles or by Mr..
kEENE's Olympian. Both Of these are
American-bred horses. and had either one
turned up the winner there would have
been real cause for Yankee jubilation.
When 1t is remembered though. how
the race was run, you might be pardoned
for concluding that the real hero Of this
years Derby was the American bred Olym-
plan, half lf-brother to Cap and Bells, and
son of the American-bred Domino. which
was the son of the American-bred Himyar.
We learn from the story Of the race cabled
from the other side that Olympian was
first away at the hag-fall and made the
running for little over mile. For
that distance he was. in ruth, the whrl-
wind son Of his whrlwnd sire. II was
the Domino style Of racing, descended from
sire to sons like Commando and Olympian.
and TO daughters like Cap and Bells. Vol
odyovski. so some Of the reports Of the
race stated. was never made to travel SO
fast In his life before. The Yankee was
setting n heart breaking pace and the
Britisher must follow or take a beating.
When the race was over and the time was
hung up II was known that n new Derby
record had been made and there was much
British enthusiasm over the greatness OF
volodyovski. But II was an American
horse that really lowered that record and
the fact should be Understood.
For some time racing men have been
doubtful about the stamina Of the got Of
Domino and there may be- some who will
point to Olympian's performance in the
Derby as n Justification for this doubt
II may be said that Olympians running
was characteristic ~ his sirr-thai he ran
q mile with the speed Of the wind and then
collapsed. II Is true that Domino was not
invinciblc over a DISTANCE Of ground. and
II seems 10 be- true that Olympian has no
great liking for a long journey. But Oym-
plan is only one Of the progeny OF Domino

OF the vessel until it had worn a hole through

A Few Of senator Mason's Theories.

The younger Senator from Illinois did
not come into this world until his colleague,
the Hon. SHELBY NJ. CULLoM. had lived long
enough to be man and voter. Neverthe-
less. It Is Mr.. MASON and not Mr.. CUILoM
that is now doing the talking.
Senator MASON ID reported a. enun-
ciating on Saturday three separate propo-
sitions concerning the Republican nomina-
ton for President In 1904. namely
I. That the head of the national ticket
must come from Illinois or Indiana next
time. This says MIR. MASON. - a prac-
tical certainty. Ohio can't have the honor
again.
2. That II the Illinois Republicans are
united three years hence. they will present
10 the convention the name Of the Hon.
SHELBY NJ. CULLoM for President
3, That the Hon. CHAUSCEY NJ. DEPEw
was not in earnest when he uttered his
'third-term talk. He had either taken
q No. Is pill" says Mr.. MASON. elegantly
"or was trying to advertise his dining car.
It's one Of his jokes
There seems to be small hiatus in the
logical process by which Senator MASON
reaches the conclusion that II is practi-
cally certain that the next Republican can
didate must be either an Illinois man or
an Indiana man. Ohio has repeatedly
had the honor again. But even barring
Ohio, there are forty-two States Of the
Union besides Illinois and Indiana, with
a total population of not less than es, 1884,
$40. Yet perhaps Senator FAIRBANKS Of
Indiana will agree with Senator MASON, II
nobody else does
Unity among the Illinois Republicans is
very desirable, now and next year and the
year after. and In 1904 also. Moreover.
II the united Republicans OF Illinois should
present to the next Republican National
Convention the name OF Mr.. MAsoS's much
older colleague. they would be doing an
entirely dignified and legitimate thing.
But as Senator MASON delivered this opinion
after conference with Senator CuLLoM
upon present rather than future condi-
tions In Illinois politics, we must infer
that Senator MAsoN's hankering for har-
contemplation OF his own chances for re-
election to the Senate eighteen months
hence as Of Senator CULLoM's chances for
the Republican nomination for President
thirty-six months hence.
As to the third proposition. Mr. MASON
IA all wrong. Senator DEPEw was never
more in earnest in his life. He was not
joking He was merely following heart
impulse. regardless OF other considerations.
II President MCKINLEY has given the mat
ter a thought. he has already forgiven
Senator DEPEw. Let it drop.
