no MATCH RACE ARRANGED.
BUT SYSONBY AND ARTFUL MAY
MEET NEXT MONDAY.

Harry p. whitney Favors Contest At .
Mile, but 1t 10 UP to Trainer Rogers
to Decde-Thousands Lost on Pagan
Boy, Who Falls In the Steepiechase.
Al far az match race at mile and fur
long between Sysonby and Arttul next Thure-
day Is concerned II may be said that such an
event Ii out Of the question. but there Is stu
q chance Of meeting between the star three
year-ods at Brighton Beach next Monday.

oral mana ger of tho Brighton Beach Racing
Association, said yesterday that Harry Payne
whitney had expressed 10 him Willingness
10 start Artful next Monday In mile race.
providing Trainer Rogers should give his
consent. Artful left with the other Whitney
horses for Saratoga yesterday IN the care OF
Rogers, 30 that 1t Ia up TO him TO say whether
Artful oan come back here for race with
Sysonsby next week. MIR. Fitzgerald wired
Rogers last night for dennlte statement
az to his intentions.
James r. Keene has not as yet made a
positive declaration In favor Of or against the
race. He apparently is waiting to hnd out
what Mr.. Whltney's plans are. Mr.. Keene
asked Trainer Rowe yesterday when sysonby
could be gotten ready for a match with Aruul.
and Rowe replied that the Melton colt could
be put on edge in about week. or moro def
nitely, by next Monday sure. Both Messrs-
Keene and whitney are willing to yield to
popular demand for q match but they must
first place the matter before their trainers.
But as time passes turfmsn are inclined to
believe that obstacles will arise which will
preclude all chance for a test under any cir
oumstanoes. The Brighton management
meanwhile stands ready 10 hang up 10000
purse for a sweepstakes whenever the owners
Of Sysonby and Artful express Willingness
to accept.
Once again the folly Of betting big money
on steeplechases was well illustrated In the
second event. Pagan Boy. who was made
an odds on fsvorite. was sent to the post
lame and soon fell. Sir Voorhees,, another
heavily backed starter. broke down hope
lessly and his rider dismounted, "a the animal
was suffering intense pain. Alamansor. an
other unsound horse, pulled UP in such
condition that 1t is improbable that he will
race again for some time to come. Ihou-
sands were lost on Pagan Bey. incidentally.
