KING Is SORE ON
RICHARD CROKER
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
I ONION, Jan l9--I am told ON
the best OF authority that King
Edward himself Is responsible for
the English Jockey clubs recent
action In refusing 20 allow horses be-
longing to Richard Croker 20 be trained
on Newmarket Heath. IL Will be re-
membercd that when the late w. II.
Whitney gave up his racing stables
here and took an his horses back 10
America, he complained OF questionable
methods on the part of certain English
C"ners and trainers with prejudice
against American sportsmen-aud IL
seems that the king, who is Intensely
Jealous OF the regulations Of his rae
ing friends--was greatly annoyed over
the matter. when Mr., Croker closed
his stables at Swanuge, Berkshire, a
while ago, and removed his stud 10
Ireland, he made no secret that his
reason for doing so was similar 70
Whituey's, and thus got the king down
on him, too / ann told that Lord Mar
Gus Beresford acted ON behalf Of the
King iu getting the Jockey club to in
form Croker that his horses could not
remain in any quarters under It's iuris-
diction. 1t is the first time that the
organization has taken so severe a step
against an owner who has committed
no breach Of racing rules
The horses which Croker sent 10 New
market were three yoarliugs, for one Of
which the boss paid $4,000 last year,
and his object In doing go was / am
told, to have them specially trained for
fat-racing by Brewer, the Australian,
who is better at such work than any
one I'm Ireland.

strenuous days monarchs could take
