statement that in spite OF the fact that

and the weight he had 10 carry was COM
paratively light for a horse Of his speed
Although he was pounds the best horse
in the race, he only succeeded in making
a dead heat Of the race, dividing honors
with Race King. His poor showing was
due mainly 10 Shaw's poor riding and
partly to lack Of physical condition.
James r. Keene. the owner Of Sysonoy,
never was satisfied with the result OF the
Metropolitan Handicap, and time and
again has shown his disappointment over
the result by his criticism OF Shaw's jock
eyship on that occasion.
But this is not all that has caused Mr..
Keene 10 map out late campaign by Sy-

noon the sun began to beat down In n
manner which was far from comfortable.
At 3 o'clock the limit was reached, when
the temperature climbed TO "a.

was Stephen Hymess Of Mingo Junction.
