and that II was useless to continue. Two
years ago the combination Of Newton Ben

most powerful on the turf. Many races were
won. including some Of The richestsstakes. but
recently Bennington decided TO sell out nearly
all Of his horses. and with the withdrawal Of
O'Neill the combine tion now passed out Of

to be seen how Burlew and 0'Neill will prosper.
for a crack rider is half the game nowadays.
How muoh weight can Lady Amelia pick up
and winf The famous mare was never better
than at present. She has won four oonsecu-
tive rae es under all kinds Of burdens. On
May 81 she camo home with $50 pounds. Two
days later she scored with 1877. while on June 7
she was an easy winner with 1873. Yesterday
abe handled l42 pounds and won Just as easily
as In the other events. In yesterdays race
the Ben Strome mare conceded ~twenty-one
pounds on the scale to Prince Hamburg. TWEEN
ty-three to Handzarra. thlrty-seven to Monet.
fofty-four to Bohemia. thirty EIGHT to Zienap.
a fty-three to Merit and Diamond Flush.
There was so much confidence in her ability
to win again. even under this crushing impost,
that the public and the p~luneers literally
backed her Oh the boards. The ring lost
heavily on the result Of the race as Prince
HAMBURG was also plunged on Ia the place
books. Sim Deimel and Alex Shields bet
heavily on the winner.
The first four races. in fact. were body blows
for the books. Benevolent was backed by
the public In the second race. while Klingsor
who ran second. was heavily played both
ways by the smart set. The Western crowd
picked up O bundle on Lancastrian to show.
In tho third race a fortune was wagered on
Logisttla, but the books paid of with some
Of the money placed on Miss and
Coy Maid. The latter was said 10 be ready.
and the wise crowd In the clubhouse pro-
decided TO back her from 10 down to 1, But
the Kin gston mare ran as II she needed a
couple OF races.
The books were hit hard when Alteration
won the Glover Stakes. The Ornament flly
carried so much money that the books wiped
of tho price from their states entirely when
he buRle sounded, and some OF the betting
agents could not get their commission on at
all. KlHiecrankie did not attract the fancy
Of the big operators, but the public dropped
q lot OF small wagers on her.

went In on both Angler and Ostrich. the for
mer closing the choice at 7 to 5. while Ostrich
was beaten from 3 down to 10 to S. But this
time the book 6 hung onto this wealth. for
neither Of these horses was placed. Red
Friar went begging at S to /, because OF a
wild rumor that he was on the verge OF a
breakdown. II was about an even break
for the books In the last race. There was q
plunge on Oran, the clubhouse and the New
castle Stable combination backing him to
the extent OF thousands. Yet there was
enough OF a play on Bat Masterson to eat up
the money bet on Oran. Oran might have
won at that, IL he had not run out on the turn.
Jesse Lewisohp cinched matters by playing
Masterson a place. The Schwartz brothers
wagered $50, 900 on this colt, who was recently
purchased by them from John E. Madden.
The stewards OF the Jockey Club have sent
a notice to each racing association calling at
tention to the rule which prohibits collusion
and intimidation In bidding UP Ind claiming
horses In selling races. At Belmont Park
q certain horseman who has made a business
OF claiming platers closed an agreement
with a prominent owner to leave his horses
alone in future for a consideration. This
case was brought to the attention OF the
Jockey Club. with the result that needed re-
forms in this direction will be put into enect.
1t Is a common occurrence that persons with
a private grudge take pleasure in bidding up
the horses Of rivals to square accounts. 1t
has also been a custom to put In friendly

variance with tho rules governing selling
events.
