replied that it was the amazingly poor
showing made by the horses owned by
Mr. William c. Whitney. the results of
which were more far-reaching than
imagined by most people. To a cor
respondent the veteran bookmaker con-
tinued as follows:
Il am in position to know that the
losses of money wagered by Mr.. Whit
ney and his immediate connections on
the horses sporting the ex-secretary Of
the navy's colors amounted less than a
week go to over $150,000. and consider
ing the continued i'll luck that the
Whitney horses have been running in
since that time, 1 feel confident that
the above mentioned figures now total
nearly 100000.
Nov, as every one knows, Mr.. Whit
ney is the central figure around which
life in Saratoga moves. and considering
the master hand he is in turf affairs
here, people generally have backed his
horses to win. When the fact is taken
into consideration that the Whitneys
have the largest stable here, and enter
more horses in the various daily racing
events than any other owners, and that
so far they have only won two small
purses, and these by the narrowest
margins, it can readily be seen what a
tremendous amount of money has been
lost to the ring by the Inflated Whit
ney string. A conservative estimate OF
the money thus lost here 1 should place
at $750000, this amount including the
100000 wagered and lost by the Whit
news
''Another fact that the newspapers
so far have generally overlooked is
that the volume of money daily wa
gered in the ring is considerably in ex-
cess of that wagered last year when
the most sensational accounts were
sent broadcast about the vast sums OF
money handled by the bookmakers.
Last season only fifty books were doing
business. while a this meeting there
are over sixty bookmakers, all of whom
report larger trade than last year
All the well known plungers and big
betters are here. With several additions
to their ranks. and their individual
wagers have been larger than last year
LAS matter of fact, this is the best
meeting the bookmakers have ever en-
joyed. Winning horses were never SC
hard to locate and about all the
big plungers are out of pocket, as well
as the vast majority of the public
There is not a bookmaker who has not
made big winnings. I don't mind say
| ing that my book is $51, 900 ahead, and
| there are several other layers whose
profits so far are far in excess of that

Fought 20 Rounds to a Draw.

Kansas City, Aug. 25.-Overcoming a
handicap of weight by cleverness and
making practically every round his on
points, Johnny Reagan, of Brooklyn,
fought Tommy Feltz of st. Louis, twen-
ty rounds to a draw in the arena of the
Missouri Athletic Club last night. The
decision of Referee Porteus was all that
could be made, as Reagan before the
fight forced the agreement that II both
men were on their feet at the end of the
bout, it should be called draw, as the
st. Louis boxer had acted contrary TO
the weighing in clause of the articles
and was pounds the heavier Winnie
Feltz had many followers who received
the decision with cheers of approval not
a small portion of the crowd thought
that Reagan was in reality the winner.
F-eltz showed signs of severe punishment
about the face and head, while Reagan
carried only a few bruises about the
body as a result of the Dutch boxer 8
twenty-round efforts to slam in weak
ening blows.
Feltz fought in open ponderous fash
ion while Reagan was shifty, always
inside of the wider swings and deliver
ing three to one the cleaner and more
telling blows. The Brooklynite gave one
of the cleverest exhibitions of blocking
ever seen in Kansas City. It was al
most impossible for Feltz to push in
his mits to the vital points, blow after
blow falling on Reagan's elbows and
gloves, while the slender boxer retal1ated
with swift short punches to the body
and face with comparative ease. Rea-
gan was surer and a better judge of
distances and at times danced away
from swings that went to waste on the
air. Feltz was always mixer and for
the most part the aggressor, but he
was met at every step with a ready
and damaging return, and in his own
style of game, roughing it hammer and
tongs. Reagan at times actually Show
ed UP to the better advantage.

Newton. Kan. Aug. 25.-There was ship

finest institutions of ifs kind In the world.
These exhibits were made up of objects

very distinguished German scientists who
were much impressed with the possibili-

among the Hopis and who saw and appre-
ciated Mr. Voth's work. Acting upon their
suggestions, probably, the authorities of
the great German museum endeavored to
induce Mr.. Voth to send to-their institu-

COLT MAY BE A WONDER. {
Believed That Dr. E. NJ Norwood Has
Future Champion in Youngster.

Lexington, KY, Aug. 25.-In the opin-
ion of several astude trotters horsemen
here DR.. E. NJ. Norwood has in =
year-old black colt by Adbell, 2:3S, dam
AIathea, by Alcyone. 2:27, youngster
with future championship possibilities.
AS a sucking he was a marvellous lot
trotter, as yearling his speed was or
high order and now as a 2-year-old his
admirers claim once when thoroughly
fit and seasoned he will do anything
asked of him. On account of his contin-
ual Improvement it is not likely this
sensational yOungSter will be much seen
in public until a 3-year-old and at that
age even very little will be required of
him, but when he gets to be 4-year-
old, he will be sent down through the
grand circuit and his owner expects then
to see him sweep all before him.
This sensational colt has the pedigree
of a future champion. His sire was the
king of all young trotters and his dam
thought the greatest son of George
Wilkes as sire and grandsire of game
campaigning race horses. As good
judge as the famous trainer and driver
joe Thayer says Alathea is the great
est of living Kentucky trotting brood
mares. She has as many as four sons
and daughters with marks of 2:23 or
better and three that have gone miles
in Ply or better. They are May Bird.

this colt and the other two were sent
to the stud as FLIES and may yet be
heard of on the course.
E. D. Morgan, the New York million
aire. picked up this now great brood
mare for the trif1ing sum of 5000 and Ia
ter in a trade let DR.. Norwood have her.
Her dam is the daughter of Vince, an
old-time Kentucky trotter which scored
a $50 record, in his day considered
quite a feat. Alathea is still in the stud
at the Norwood farm and is now about
10 years old. She was barren last sea
son for the first time in several years,
but is again now safe in foal- She was
bred to The Bondsman this year and al
ready DIR. Norwood has been asked to
price her foal which offer he has de-
clined owing to the present promise OF
her 2-year-old son of the dead Adbell.
Indications now are that Charles Mar

which youngster won so brilliantly at
the recent Elks' fair here. taking a rec
ord of 2:23, will not be a starter in the

to be so sore that let up in her train

Newton, Aug. 25.-Harvey county
school teachers have registered their
protests against the anticourtship rules
that are being generally adopted by
school boards throughout the state. The
following resolutions were adopted at
the close of the normal institute here:
Whereas, Our fathers came to Kan
sas in pursuance of a high and holy
desire to establish the Institutions of
freedom and equality on Kansas soil
and did heroic service in the dark and
bloody days of the border war to estab-
lish constitutional liberty in this state;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we view with alarm
the tendency of school boards in certa in
parts of Kansas to adopt harsh and OPP
preSsiVe measures in restriction of our
sacred and inalienable rights: that to
submit to such tyranny would prove US
to be unworthy children of such noble
parentage; that larger per cent of our
teachers being manageable, we urge
upon all the necessity of vigorous and
unceasing rebellion against this attempt
to deprive us of our right to court and
be courted."
