Of the topics at tho track all thr afternoon,
The death Of Svsonbv was aAother subject
which was discussed with n universal feeling
OF regret. Neither James n. Keene nor his
trainer. James Rove. was at tho track. so that
nothing definite could he learned relative
to tho disposal of the great horses remains.
II was said that Ne would probably be
buried at Castleton stud. with a monument TO
mark his last resting place. There was
also an unconfrmed rumor that Sysonhy's
dam, Optime. would be shipped to England
TO be remated to the stallion Melton. with the
idea that another famous racehorSe might be
produced. but this is hardly probable.
Lucien Lyme was suspended for two days
by Starter Cassidy for misconduct at the
post with Roseben. Lyne's ride on the great
eprinter was Of such a nature that a great
howl went up from those who had backed
his mount. Roseben had not started since
the Brooklyn Handicap, in which he went
on Friday he worked six furlongs in
! Is and a fraction. while on Sunday morning
breezed hve-eighths in 1907, Handicapped
vosbure put lac pounds on his back, the
impost ever allotted to Roseben. and
probably for that reason he went I'D In tho
betting. His owner. Dave Johnson. wagered
81 900 straight and $500 third on the Ben
Strome eelding. just taking a gamblers
chance. he said. But at that he expressed a
belief that Shot Gun might beat thin. Rose
gave 2? pounds to Shot Gun. a to Monet. |

Before the days proceedings ended another
sure thing copper lined killing went by the
board. Sam Doggett, the former jockey,
a colt named Little Minister. by Prime
Minister-Queen Vic. in the last race. and one
Of the biggest plunGes OF the year resulted.
"He cannot loae. " said Doggettt to his friends.
at will be a gallop for him"
Doggett was so confident that he unlocked
tank roll for a $40, 1000 wager. John A.
Drake also put a small bet down and so did
all the clubhouse players, the commission
from that enclosure being close to $40. 600.
The colt opened at 3 to l.. The money fairly
flooded the ring until the price dropped to q.
then to 4. and finally to ? to l ~favorite. In the
ring there was a panic. The plunRers who
operate there were plling on the coin by the
III iii the layers were bordering on
distraction. Then. with the checks all down.
the hackers Of this good thing got their glasses
out and watched the proceedings at the bar
rier. Perrine had the mount and he got the
colt CT fairly we'll. But he was quickly out
run and then dropped into a pocket. At the
head of the stretch Perrine took his mount
very wide and then finished a lenIth out OF
the money. 1t looked like a bad ride and
the u~ooknakers went wild with delight
{. F.. Rowe did not bet a dollar on his colt.
Allowmaise. who won this race at 20 to /.
Char,ey Hughes, who trains for H. NJ. ZeigleT,
had 81, 100 three ways on the latter's colt
halGcta, who was backed from. 10 down TO 5
and was as good as left at the post. only to
run second. There was another unsuccessful
coup in this race with the Delaware Stables
Gen. Sherman, by Sir Dixon-Duchess OF
who was backed from Is down 10 8.
and came home absolutely last.
II was announced that the noted stallion
Adam. a son of the great Flying Fox. who
was recently purchased in France by F. C.
Bishop for s75, 900, would be shipped to this
country on Saturday. He will be sent TO the
breeding farm owned by the Newcastle Stable. !

George Wheelock. Senator McCarren and
others won big money on the success Of Far
West in the handicap. Wheelock went all
over the ring betting $500 at n clip and prob
ably won s25 900. Far West always liked the
mud He was In receipt of twenty pounds
from Bulls Eye. The latter's defeat was
evidently anticipated. for he went up in the
betting. The Clown was literally played in
this race.
The ring had another profitable day, The
LAYERS lost something on the first race. but
Jennie McCabe's victory in the second was
a gold mine for them. as big bets were lost
on James Reddick. Palette, Aurumaster.
Bragg and Ostrich. The third race wns about
an even break, as the money bet on Cedar
strome, Bulls Eye and The Clown probably

backed In the place books. Glenecho and
