field.

NOT LIKELY TO MEET SCEPTRE.

ERED MATCHING WATERCOLOR AGAINST
SEWERS GREAT THREE-YEAR-OLD.

since r. Sievier. the Englishnan who owns
sceptre. the great three-y -year-old for which he
refused an offer OF sl75.e0 from W. K Vanderbilt
and which will run in the Derby and the oaks
this year. announced his willingness TO match her
against any horse in the world for $4,000 a side-
weight for a mile and a quarter. there have
been some suggestions that J. 3. Haggn might
match Watercolor against her. WatercoIor broke
the track record for mile Morris Park Satur-
day and is the favorite for the Suburban Of this
year. Mr. Haggin has said that he has not given
the question serious consideration.
There Is just one obstacle such a match that
would doubtless prove insuperable. and is the
fact that Sceptre is in England and Watercolor is
in America. Mr.. Sievier would be likely 10
bring his flly across the water and If Mr.. Hagsin
should take Watercolor to England he would be
foolish man. The risks OF an ocean voyage 10
thoroughbreds are notorousy great Everybody
knows how Tommy Atkins died in England after
being sent there by Mr. Keene to run in the Derby.
Next Mr.. Whitney's Nasturtum, sent there for
the same purpose this year. was taken i'll from
the effects OF the voyage, and is now on his way
back. never 20 face the starter again. II is ex-
ceedingly unlikely that Mr. Haggin would subject
the great son OF Watercress to these great risks.
