When Tom S~tevens's colt Berkeley won
at Delmar last week, rutAlessly beating
a 1-to-4 chance, history only repeated it
self. 1t is a way these good maidens Of
the old trainer have.
More sensational. however, was the way
his good wadsworth colt. Wyeth, who
the following year won the American Der
by in the colors of Job A Drake. broke
from the maiden ranks.
He had run a very clever race at Mem
phis earlier in the spring. but John W.
Schorr had a colt that spring hat came
to st. Louis with an unbeaten record.
This was Charles ". Meyer. who was
heralded as one of the greatest young
sters Schor had ever turned out He had
also been the central figure in a tur SEN
sation at the fag end Of the meeting.

which he would have been q pronounced

Just as Strader beat Flying Torpedo at
Delmar after Barkley had run the heart

The racing war continues apace. When
Mr.. Rountree. one of the chief stockholders
Of the Union track. visited Delmar last
Thursday and greeted President Chew of
Kinloch and President Titles of the Fair
Grounds 1t was Immediately reported that
was no evidence to show for anything OF
that sort.
Mr.. Rountree was not averse to dis
cussing affairs Union. and stated. while in

that Senator Collins had been chosen gen.
erai manager. vice Mr.. Carmody. the d.
rectors had made several changes in the
methods in vogue there. making a saving
on one item alone. aside from any reduc-
ton Of the purses. a matter Of $500 n day.
Just where his enormous retrenchment
was possible he would not say. but insisted
that It had been actually accomplished. He
said that further saving still could be
made. and minated that there was a
chance OF q reduction in the purses.

The Ease with which he turned the mile,

Of the form which made her such q great

Nearly all the good horses At the Fair
Grounds are still kept in their barns BY
the unsettled weather n consequent
poor track conditions. J. W. Burnett has
his popular gray, Taby Tosa, in fine
shape and is anxious to get him to the
races. but he will not start him until the
track gets good. Orb. Haley thinks he
has a sweet Ally this year In Maxnolin,
but she. too. is being reserved for more
favorable footing. Scores Of other horses
are being merely logged when they
should get sharp work. while their OWN

Two OF h big events Of tho last week
had a direct bearing on the Worlds Fair
Handicap. the Metropolitan Handicap,
won by Irish Lad last Thursday, and the
Clark Handicap at Louisville, won BY
Colonial Girl the same day.
Both OF these horses are eligible to the
great $4,000 event, n both have larKe
foilowings. to which their victories are
very encouraging.
Colonial Girl is considered . certain

to expect them to send him after II.
Stakes Of this value don't happen very
often. and the horse which wins It win

per cent Of the horses bred do In their

JAMAICA TRACK JorTINGs.

No wonder E. E. Smathers and his
small coterie OF friends. who were at the
Jamaica track. went for the gloves on
Witchcraft in the first race yesterday.
The FLY was one Of the best 2-year-olds
OF her sex in the West last year. and at
the close of last week worked at Sleeps
head Bay in company with McChesney, a
half In Ash. five furlongs in los 3-5. And
she was fighting along at his neck, too,
when the gallop finished.
E. E. Smathers was not equally fortu-
nate with his grand 5-year-old McChes-
ney. who was the public's favorfte for the
handicap. and likewise carried a large
portion OF Mr.. Smathers's Witchcraft win
uings. He was left at the post irretrfev.
ably. and the spirits Of his hackers f6I

They assert that on the strength OF
what they have already seen at tn,

seen the youngsters. there run like stake
horses. and they know that these 2-year,
olds are merely the cull9 Of the grea,
racing stables
II the youngsters that have shown a,
the Long Island tracks are merely
"culls' ana the poorest Of tho stable
then tho estimate Of the turfmen who
mako the above prediction must be
correct for the youngsters thus far
shown are far above the average.
John Madden's great string of young
sters arrived at westchester a few days
CO.. and on Sunday they were given
good smart work. The quality shown by
these youngsters amazed all who saw
them. They reeled of half miles In al
most record time with surprising ease.
Mr.. Madden's string was sent to Wash
ington early. and It was q good move on
his part. He was not only able to &C
quaint his hoses with the noise and bus
tie Of the race track. but work them in
races as well. He picked up q couple OF
purses and paid expenses.
After the races were over Mr.. Madden
lad = couple OF weeks to himself. dur
ing which the Bennings course was
practically his private training ground.
and he has fitted his horses without sub
hitting them to the pryinE eyes of the
checkers"
OF course. II Is not known which are
the stars Of Madden's string. Some say
that Margrane. by Top Gallant out OF
Cinderella, the dam of Hastings. Plaudit
and other great horses. is the pick.
Others fancy Linda Lee. by Hamburg,
dam Myrtle Hardness. Laite and Court
plaster are highly esteemed by others.
Most Of Mr. Madden's youngsters are
by Plaudit. his premier stallion since the
death Of Mirthful. It is q tribute to Mr..
Madden's prowess as . breeder tina he
was able to make Piaudit take the place
of Mirthfui and produce such excellent re-
suits.
Mr.. Pagets youngsters are nearly al
from the farms owned by ]. 3. Haggin.
Just who may be the stars of his string
is hard to Judge. A clocker. in speaking
Of them. said they were all about in the
same notch. but that that notch would
be hard to beat The remarkable src-
cess Of the youngsters started at the
early meetings by Mr.. Paget is a guar
antee that his reserve stock is Of hlgh
order.
Mr.. Leeds's string consists of young
tiers purchased at the sales and are by
various sires. h selection was re-
markedly well made. judging by the re-
ports of the work of these youngsters.
Some Of them are very classy and likely
to make a mark during the season.

The question of who has won or kept
the money is now vexing racegoers at
San Francisco. The meeting reached its
close yesterday. and It is estimated that
the year has been most successful.
The new California Jockey Club has en-
joyed a prosperous season and has cleared
at least a quarter of a million dollars. It
has not been touched" and held up. as
Chicago race tracks are by a variety Of
politicians. Never has racing in Caifor-
MIA received such support from a Fran
cisco's public as during the last season.
and 1t is estimated the sum Of 100000
has been handled in the ring. Hence the
queries as to winners and losers.
Before figuring on winners and losers It
is pertinent to call attention to the
kitty" Of the betting ring. as the fee for
cutting in may be designated. The New
California Jockey Club charges SD a race.
The daily average Of bookmakers has been
twenty-five. The daily number OF races
has been six. Wherefore the daily rake
of Of the kitty was $3.50. which. COM
puted for 15o days, means $ss6.ooo. which
again is 10 per cent OF the millions the
ring is figured to a handled during the
season.
OF those bookmakers who have been on
continuously, English Bill Jackman.
who cut in about Christmas. undoubtedly
is the largest winner. His profits are said
TO be $4,000. and probably are all Of no.-
