IL Is improbable that Roseben will start, as
d. c. johnson decided recently 10 turn him
back TO the sprinting game. Last night a
well known bookmaker said that Dandelion
would rule favorite at about ? to /. with Merry
Lark second choice.
Trainer Robert Tucker, who seldom loses
sohaloe TO deal the ~bookmakers q body blow.
vas co npletely foo.ei whoa Accountant
won the Withers. Tucker did not bet on the
Filigrane colt and thereby let slip 6 royal
opportunity to take a bundle of coin out OF
the ring. Jesse Lewisohn, who generally
trails with Tucker. bet 5000 on The Quail.
There was a world OF speculation on the
result OF the Withers and the books won
probably Sl5o,oOo on the race. Tyler, the
Hummlng Bird. made a big book on this
event, He took one bet OF 5000 on Clark
Griffith and held out Accountant. although
he did not bet on the latter. Tyler won
$4,000 on the result OF the Withers alone.
The ring broke about even on the meeting,
the winnings Of yesterday pulling many Of
them out OF the hole. After the Withers
had been run James Rowe. Mr.. Keene's trainer,
said that Bohemian might have won II Miller
had not allowed Accountant TO steal away
from him In the stretch, AZ Bohemian is a
big stridlng colt be could not get his speed
soon ea ough 70 overhaul Accountant when
Miller sat down TO ride. Frank Farrell and
his follow ers lost heavily on Clark Griffith.

Dave Johnson did not bet a dollar on
RnSeben yesterday. Tho big horse came
back 10 his own and showed something of
bis old speed. He conceded twenty-nine
pounds to Tommy Waddell md beat tho
latter In time that was a FIFTH OF q second
slower than Dainty's worlds record for
seven and one-half f~urlongs. 1882. In letting
Roseben start III seven and a half furlongs
