in blood. Sunray, also bred by the Sanford
farm at Amsterdam with Tribes Hill and
Worthwhile, was almost as we'll thought or
as either of his former companions, but all

Delph1e Is Consistent.
At the finish 1t was a twe-horse race,
Delphie and Sun Ray having the others
strung out. 1t was Delphie's third win Of
the meeting and the third time that Sun
Ray has been placed. He Is an unlucky.

1t was no race at all for st. Valentine,

race was half over, and came from the ex

an iron horse. Caronal was beaten off and
his California trainer said after the race
that he is not mud runner.
st. Valentine a Good Horse.
ST Valentines sire, Himyar. turf phe-
nomenon as well a successful sire, lost
the Kentucky Derby under sensational cir
cumstances. So superior was he deemed to
the other three-year-olds opposed to him
that Major Thomas. his breeder and owner
said to the starter: Never mind where
my colt is, provided his head Is turned
the right way" The starter, unfortunately.
took the major too literally at his word
and sent the field away with Himyar's
head to the 'front.' but fully twenty
lengths behind his horses. The great son
of Alarm nearly closed up this gap. but
just failed to reach Day Star, who beat
him a head.
Disobedient should prove a than
| useful colt to Tom Mannix this winter or
next spring If he rests the son of Sir Dixon
up during the winter. If he does well he
may year hence be found in the long
distance events at Benning. Owner Mannix
had a good horse. Warrenton, in these
races several years ago, and has always
been fayorably disposed toward races over
a route.
J. E. Seagraves. the Canadian owner is
negotiating for the purchase of Samsar
and Royal Scot Trainer Hughes left for
Lexington last evening to look after Zieg-
Ter yearlings. But he left the two young
sters named in charge of w. A. McNulty,
and 1t is very likely that transfer to the
Seagraves barn will be made Both look
more than useful colts.
New Turf Ownership.
Every day the wisdom of the turf rule
compelling all turf ownership to be reg
istered is apparent. 1t was stated at Ben
| ming yesterday that one of the owners of
the Asbury stable, trained by w. A. Nc
Nulty, is o. w. Doeppler, formerly the ST.
Louis manager of the John ]. Ryan In
vestment Company. Mr.. Doeppler is a
young man. but his initial turf ownership
is starting well.
The great rivalry between the Virginia
stables of BILLY" Garth and PA" Brad
ley at Benning is a feature of the meeting.
So far the Garth contingent has the best
of it, but there are four days yet for Peter
Paurs iron qualities to possibly even up
matters
The rush on Fiat across the board was
feature of the speculation the Ko-
moka race. The well-known handicapped,
w. McAllister, took TO l about the Hogan
horse in hundreds. Layers estimate that he
took $1,000 out of the ring on this play
moral" to show and parlayed'' most Of
the winnings on Delphie for place. James
Mccormick also followed the Delphie
plunger and duplicated this on ST. Yalen-
tine.
Movements of Stables.
Herbert Temple the indefatigable master
of transportation at Benning. said yester-
day that while more stables would remain
north than usual there seemed no diminu-
ton in the number of horses going. to Cali
fornia and New Orleans. From New York
he has thus far shipped twenty-one car
loads of horses to New Orleans and ten
carloads to California.
From Benning he has sent two carloads
to New Orleans thus far, and twelve more
carloads will follow at the close of the
meeting. Three carloads will be sent from
here to San Francisco.
Fred Burlew will take twenty horses to
New Orleans after the close here. He has
one OF the strongest stables going to the
crescent city. and should be heard from
during the winter.
James Mclaughlin will not winter in
California. as last season, but take his
horses back to New York. Race King Is
temporarily out of commission from his
spread hoof. while oxford has been turned
out Both horses will, IL they winter well,
be entered in the spring handicap for 1906
and will no doubt be heard from, barring
accidents. The McLaughlins, father and
son. are natural born horsemen that make
their mark every year.
Mud Larks Will Figure.
Mudlarks will certainly have their innings
this afternoon as while light rain but serves
to pack Benning's sandy course. the last
thirty-six hours downpour Is likely to
cause a heavy track this afternoon
Both Kiamesha and Santa Catalina can
run in heavy going. but as every ounce OF
weight tells under such conditions, the
former may prove the victor. 1t is such
close At between them. however, anyway
one looks at 1t, that the result Is hard to
prophesy with any degree OF certainty.
Old Guard. Montanus and Ingleside are
fair "mudders." while Samson and Ben
Holder are bound to go in that sort Of
going. Copper can go on any sort of
track and ought to leave the ranks of
maidens today If he ever does. While Louis
H. and Komoka look to stand out by them
selves in this kind of track unless the
turned-loose Gambler can defeat them,
ante-post warm-ups will be closely scruti
nized this afternoon. and those who can
light on the winner will deserve all they
get.
