They shoah have time beatin' him Well
| they got OF and ran the first six furlonSs
| in lbs on lightning track Siddons was
whipping to keep up. Wall, with lib up
| beat him. and Wall could not win Siet
1 selling race before or after.
| Siddons did win stake over four miles
| in California. That does not get him any
thing. He is just one no account race
| three miles and LOO yards. then run
away from him in the last sixty yards.
| It seems that the owners Of the New
| Orleans track are going to make a hard
| fight against Hot Springs getting racing
dates next winter.
The report is being industriously cir
culated in Chicago that the new track at
| Hot Springs is being backed by John J.
Ryan. the turf-investment promoter. Ryan
| is said TO be the man with the money.
| This may or may not be true. AS long
rings at Saratoga and Washington Park
it is not easy to see why it should be
Disseminated against at Hot Springs
There does not seem TO be any good rea-
son for the Western Jockey Club going
behind the scenes. AS long as the Stew
ards, Judges and starter are men OF re-
officered by men Of commercial and social
value, that ought to be enough for the
W. }. c. No one ever accused Mr. Bush,
MI Renaud or Mr.. Bennett of the New
ey by preaching the gospel.
When the little pickaninny c. Davis
was riding Falkland second to Ailyar some
days ago at Deimar. Ailyar bore in a bit
and impeded the small carky's whip arm
y bystander with an interest in Falkland
advised Davis to claim a foul.
Davis said nothing until he got on the
scales Then, instead of appealing TO the
1uages' ne @ addressed Mr. Hachme,ster;
oey done fouled me out yander."
Iei 1t TO the judge" said Mr.. Hach-
That yer gemman de judge?" asked
Days, indicating Mr.. Brady
Say. Mistah." said little Davis. uncere-
monlously. plucking at Mr.. Brady's sleeve,
''dey done fouled me out yander."
There seems TO be an idea prevalent that
Siddons can do something besides eat oats.
They say that he is quite a distance
horse. II VIII Cole would part with Miss
Guido il would be good Idea for some
one to buy her and make matches to
run four-mile meats with Sidu0nS every
day.
The Fair Association is fairly over
flooded with requests for stalls for the fall
meeting which commences next week
Tom Kiley came down from Chicago
with all his good ones including the
crack mare Bessie Mccarthy. W. W. Dar-
Sidney Walker, Mss Crawford Mamie
Hodge and A D. Gibson.
Barney Scnreiber has wired for twelve
stalls for his Chicago string, and Doctor
H. Z. Rowell also asks that twelve stalls
be held for his string. Many valuable
stakes will be decided at the Fair Grounds
this fall. Nearly all the owners Nl are
coming for the meeting have horses en-
gagged in these stakes.
Willie Buchanan, who was recently Ii
censed by the w. ]. C.. has been riding
for Barney Schreiber since his reinstate-
nlent. Buchanan won two races for
Schreiber the first day he rode for the big
Dutchman.
Buchanan was the star rider at New
Orleans last winter. He was suspended
for a suspicious ride on one of Sam Hill
dreth's horses. Buchanan rode for Schrei-
Der at San Francisco some years ago.
Schreiber sold his contract on the boy
for $4,000 to an English turfman Bu
chanan probably will come here with the
Schreiber stable. He is first-class jockey
and will be an acquisition TO the local
riding talent.
