the popular Schneider colors In the stake.
Schneider also has Otis. Sigmund. Crimean
and Buccleuth. but Sigmund is the only
member OF the quartet in first-class racing
condition. and sprinting is not his forte.
BENSONHURST A SPEED WONDER
Johnny Schorr is expected over from
Louisville with Bensonhurst for the Coun-
try Club Handicap. This gelding is a reg
ular speed wonder for six furlongs. He ran
some splendid races at Memphis and Louis
Vile this spring. and should go exceedingly
we'll in the Country Club Handicap. Schorr
also has Ordnung and Rightful In the stake.
but both these horses are in the East with
the principal division OF the Schorr stable.
George Walker is handling the Eastern d.
vision of the SchoTr stable. while the
younger Schorr is campaigning the Louis
vile end of the string.
Tom Hayes's good mare Lady Strathmore
is a likely starter in the stake. TIE firm Of
Hayes & Headly will also in all probability
start 4 colt named Orlando in the Country
Club Handicap. Orlando is said to have
been the highest-tried 2-year-old in the
Hayes stable last season. Tom Hayes ex-

with great severity writes Tom F1elders
in the Daily America. THAT bookmaking
upon the race course will be interfered with
there is among the improbabilities almost.
In fact. there is a desire that is almost gem
eral there. not to discuss the matter. AL
most as much might be said of the situa-
ton here. Racing has achieved SO much
popularity and SO many interests are In
VOWED in its welfare. that hands Off Is al
most a general cry. 1t has been said that
If there were no horses racing there would
be no speculation of the particular kind
which has been much in the public eye of
late. On the other hand. If there were no
speculation there would be little horse
racing. The improvement of the breed of
horses entails much expense. 1t is hardly
likely that any one who Is thoroughly
acquainted with the history of the horse
will maintain that the thoroughbred would
have reached his present condition had
speculation regarding his merits been made
impossible. The law may surround such
speculation with restrictions, but it is more
than a long shot that it will not wipe 1t out.
1t might not be a bad idea to invite such
members of the Legislature as have not
visited a race course to do so. Were they
to see for themselves the fmperfections of
the present system of speculation they
would. 1 think. hasten to rectify them, par
ticularly were they presented with a couple
of good things while on their tour of In
Spection."

ARTICULATE-oLD ENGLAND RACE.
That's a pretty good little horse said
the Metropolitan Handicap. as he moved
from his box to talk to the reporters. Ar

England in somewhat decisive fashion.
And that's the race of the day. con-
tinued Mr.. Whitney. as he addressed Judge
Burke. Ed Cole and other, racing experts.
why, there was real enthusiasm to that
race. Did you, hear the crowd cheer the
winner? There's nothing like a little senti-
ment to make a great horse race"
Before the race there had been mutterings
and sputterings between Bob Smith,
trainer of Articulate. and Green Norris. and
AlCll u an AoSN
there was quite a scene just in front OF the
stand. But it was only a wordy war. AS
Judge Burke put it, with one of those
hearty laughs of his, Those two trainers
are two of the biggest kickers l ever
knew He spoke from his experience while
acting as presiding Judge at the various
points he has odiciated. .
Mr.. Lopez has been asked to name a price
for Articulate. Here is the way he put 1t:
II was asked what I would take for Ar
ticulate; that MIR. Madden wanted to buy
him. l said: My price IS s250, 900: l don't
want any middleman.'
Mr.. Whitney's estimate Of the interest
caused by the race between Old England
and Articulate as a public magnet Is tndi-
Gated by the fact that before the first race
was run yesterday 1900 programmes had
been sold. and many late corners could not
be supplied.
Mr.. Lopez continued to explain that Ar
ticulate was not for sale. HE has been a
good friend to me, and / won't part with
hib,'' he added. As a matter Of fact. Ar
ticulate. by his successes, has stave1 off the
evil day Of toreclosed mortgages on an es,
tate in California. which. is his home and
that of the owner and his family. With
another success or two like that of yester-
day the Merriwa Stock Farm in Alameda
County will be free and clear Of any mort

Jim Griffin of Springfield. Ill, will try to

well in the stake as any of the local divi-
sion. H. R. Bake thinks he has an out
side chance to capture the big end Of the
stake with his fast 3-year-old Happy

Favonius and John Peters in the Country

horse of the two at the distance.
Brewer Lemp's Elastic is about the best
sprinter in training here at present. The

Barney Schneider has always maintained
that Deutschland. by imp. Sain-Derfar-
gilla, was the best race horse ever bred at
his magnificent Woodlands breeding stud in
st. Louis County. Deutschland is, a mag
iificent looking thoroughbred and always
displayed rare speed in his trials. but never
could race to his morning gallops until this
spring. The horse was always troubled
with bad hoofs. Schneider had nearly every
good. farrier in the country try his hand
shoeing the colt. None Of them ever
brought about any improvement in the
Crowley. Of St. Louis undertook to mend the
Deutschland's bad feet. He worked on the
colt for several weeks and finally pro-
nounced him in shape to race.
Deutschland has won three straight races
since and is now considered the best
Splinter at the Fair Grounds. with the pos
stble exception of Doctor Crowley's twn
horse, Elastic. Deutschland is one of Schrei-
ber's candidates for the St. Louis Derby Of
1903. Barney won this stake last season
with Otis. Deutschland is Derfargilla's Sec
ond foal. Her first produce. a tiily called
Companion. did not amount to much. Der
fargilla was the best race mare of her day
on the American turf. She used to belong
to the late Pierre Lorillard Of Rancocas
stud fame.

AFRAID
TO PROSECUTE

For fear OF being held up to public
ridicule as easy marks" the men who
have been made the victims of the
woman who has operated extensively
in Honolulu for two weeks past, hesi-
tate to begin prosecution. The woman
is already alleged to have obtained at
least $500 from confiding Honolulu
men but not one of the half dozen
victims of the Madame Humbert
scheme has complained to the police.
You ought to do it for the good OF
the community" one of the victims
was told.
Let the community take care of
ITSELF have troubles of my own"
was the reply.
That at least two of the woman's
victims have ground for criminal pros
ecutlon is said to be certain, but they
VIII not have her arrested for fear OF
the probability that they might have
to go into court and be exposed to
the public view as easy marks"
The woman has cut wide swath
since she came here a few weeks ago
with a wild story of two $4,000 certifi-
Gates of deposit on California banks,
which she had placed in a sealed en-
Velope. She bought lots and houses,
borrowed money, cashed checks
bought furniture and flowers and Gu
rios and was having a glorious good
time on the strength of her sealed en-
velope until, through some mistake,
1t was opened by r. II. Trent. The
woman Intended to make business
houses, banks and trust companies her
trustees, and claimed to have $4,000
coming on the Alameda. She exhibited
n letter from a firm of California at
torneys saying the money had been
sent, and later displayed a confirma-
tory cablegram.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth said
that the police were never
approached by the victims. and until
they found some one willing to swear
to complaint, no prosecution could be
begun. 1t is possible that the grand
jury may investigate the matter
