vosburg n Good Handicapped.
Personally the writer regards Mr.. Vos.
burg as a splendid Handicapped. fair and
impartial. honest and conscientious in
every thing that he does. The Jockey
Club is fortunate in having for a handi-
capper a man against whom the slight
est breath Of suspicion has never beeI
raised.
1t is a temptation to a man occupying
q position like that OF official handi-
capper to curry favor with the powers 1 n
racing by giving their horses the best
of the weights in the rich handicaps.
No such charge has ever been made
against Mr.. Vosburs.
So far as Col. Bill Is concerned Mr..
vosours has not, in the opinion OF the
writer, dealt with that horse harshly.
Mr.. Bells claim hat Mr.. Vosburg waited
until he purchased Col. Bill from John
z. Madden before he put weight on thu
horse, is of hrs true.
Mr.. Bell purchased the horse at a time
when Col. Bill was at the zenith of his
form. As a two year old Col. Bill wal
knocking about at Washington in tho
fall Of 1901 doing his best to win a SELL
ing race. John Madden bought and de-
veloped the horse.
None CIeverer than Madden.
No one is more clever than MI.
Madden at decelvins people who think
they are experts In racing. He won
with Col. Bill, and kept on winning.
and Mr.. vosburg kept on increasing
his weight.

Bells possession he had proven himself

In lone of his early races did Col. Bill
display any of the form he showed last
season, but the Handicapped probably ar

arrived at and that was that Col. Bill
was not At and was simply being run
for the purpose OF fooling the handicap
per and taking off weight.
On July 6 he ran in a mile race at
