the Ally and had offered her to him for the

over the two-y ear-olds Horace L. and Com
puter and the three-year-old Sir Wilfred to
william Garth. the well known Virginia

yesterday. He sent his commissioner into
=" the ring with a $1,000 wager on Teacress in
the first race. Then he had a good bet o
Waterbury in the second. After that the
Millionaire went along smoothly until the
fifth race. when he dropped a $4,000 wager
on Taunt. Gates got away from Lady Taran-
teua in the last race and took to his auto
mobile in a hurry.
What was probably the biggest disappoint-
ment OF the day was the crushing defeat Of
Dollie Dollars in the nth race. c. T. Hen
shall paid s., 100 for this hlly last spring, but
she has never amounted to much since. She
IS essentially a morning glory. The other
day she worked five furlongs with the French

Dollars wouldn't run a yard. She threw her
head up and sulked in such a manner that
Rsdtke gave her a good lashing to make her
behave. But she was in bad humor and kept
on with her sulks right up TO the wire, where
she finished out Of the money.
She will never carry another bet for me-"
said Henshall after the race. She is only a
hound and Id sell her now for 5000. Yes, $500.

William Shields has purchased from James
