he agreed and that he got $500 in ad-

Later in October and prior to the
Gold Cup race. Sanders says he met
Smathers In the Gayoso Hotel. in Mem

the balance OF the $4,000 in the same
hotel on the night after the race
The cup Is nov held on a bond Of
$1,000 furnished by Mr.. Smathers.
Mr.. Billings is on his way here from
Chicago, presumably to take some part
in the case against Smathers.
His secretary. W +. McCrea. said to-
day in Chicago:
Lou Was in Bad Condition?
1T has been asserted that Lou Dillon
was not IN good condition on that day
a week before that race she trotted
two heats in 2.03 and 2;011z. two of the
I&SteSN meats ever lFotteu CohsSCHliNFlA-
Major Delmar won his race from her
I'm 2:o- for the first heat. and 3:1s1z for
the second heat. One week after the
race was run. Lou Dillon went a mile
in e:01S4 Why was 1t that she was un-

'On every attempt after that she went

queer at the time. \ few days before
the contest it was 10 on Lou Dillon.
That looked 10 be a fair price. Just
previous TO the race-a few hours be
fore .t was called-it was at even
money.
1T was at AR. Billings suggestion
that there DC no betting on the event.
but Of course there was a great deal
throughout the country. The change
showed that some one knew OF the con
dition Of Lou Dillon.
Thinks Race Truly Trotted.
n. H. knight. secretary Of the
American Trottfng Association and also
secretary OF the American Trotting Reg
lister. is one OF those who believes that
Lou Dillon may have been out of con-
dition on the day OF the race. II saw
her beat Major Delmar the year be
! fore he said. He was not then in
good condition. She was the one out
OF condition at the time Of the second
meeting. ! believe such charges against
Mr.. Smathers are without foundation.
He is a man Of excellent standing as a
sportsman.
Since the race in which Major Del
: mar defeated Lou Dillon Mr.. Billings
has purchased Major Deimar and now
owns him
Mr.. Billings, besides being socially
prominent and a multi-miliionaire with
various commercial interests, principally
| the Chicago gas monopoly, is undoubt-
edly the foremost trotting horse man in

and not FOR stakes. purse, or money
