GOLDA MAXIMS FRIENDS.
Irish Lads prestige among the 3-year-olds
has made place in some measure for praise
Of Golden Maxim. The Golden Garter colts
creCitable performance in the handicap on
Thursday has brought him to the front as
formidable rival among the 3-ysar-olds and
the paddock contingent go so far as to acru-
Brooklyn winner at stake weights. This
seems stretching even optimism a bit too
lar. but there can BE- no doubt that Golden
Maxim IS grand colt. and will bear a
plenty of watching. He is sound and shows
d fancy for a distance of ground He is a
weight packer and generously endowed with

in his first start of the season. and. while
ne beat no such company as Irish Lad van
quished, he made his own running and
gave away loads OF weight to the horses
that chased him home in fast time
AFRICANDER IS A GOOD ONE
Africander was purchased by Charles F.
Dwyer. as 2-year-old from julius F1eisch-
mann for $1,000. Sim Demiel then purchased
half interest in him. At the Demiel &
Dwyer dispersal sale last fall Africander
was bought in by the stable for $4,000. As
2-year-old Africander was known as a
hsrd-luck horse He was ridden by boys
like H. Cochran and usually came strong
from behind. only to be just beaten out OF
first money in races he should have won.
In the last two races Africander has gone
to the front and stayed there. He won the
Belmont so easily that trainers were won
derirg just how good he was. They ex-
pected to get a line on him yesterday. but
they didn't Africander again won with
ease.
o'NEILL IS IN DEMAND.
Since frankie o'Neill rode Irish Lad to
victory in the Brooklyn Handicap Newton
Bennington. who has first call on the
Jockeys services, has been offered a good
round sum for his contract. But young
O'Neill is not on the market While Mr..
Bennington hasn't very extensive string
and there isn't a prospective Suburban or
Futrrity winner in the lot, so far as known.
he doesn't care to take chances on securing
jockeys from the ranks of the free lances-
Wien Mr.. Bennington sends a horse to the
post il is pretty apt to carry commission
from him. And he can always depend on
getting conscientious ride from the ever
wideawake st. Louis lad. Besides, Mr.. Ben
nington takes a great interest in young
O'Neilps welfare and is DESTROYS that he re-
main under the watchful eye of Trainer
Burlew during the life Of the present con-
tract, at least.
