Congratulations poured in upon william
Dubois. the veteran clubhouse commits
sioner, when his colt Charles Edward won
the Brighton Mile yesterday. It was at the
sale Of Sydney Paget's horses last week that
Dubois got the son OF Colder Garter for
o., 200. He outbid Boots Durnell, and at
the time II was believed that he really acted
for John W. Gates. But IL turned out a few
hours later that Dubois was the real owner.
for he refused an offer Of $4,000 for the colt
from Durnell. Dubois never lost confidence
In the colt up to the time that he was sent
away on his journey. He wagered o., 500
straight and 81. 500 a place ut 3 to 1 and even.
and as the stake was worth O.. 40 to the winner
he got back practically all that no paid for
the son OF Golden Carter. Dubois has been the
proprietor of the Patchogue Stable for a num-
Der of years. but has never owned a first
class racehorse before. IL was with extreme
deli ght therefore that he saw Charles Edward
win a sensational race In his red and black
colors. while his many friends crowded around
him in the clubhouse to congratulate him.
I've got a good horse at last said
Dubois. with a laugh. 1T took some time for
me to secure the right one. but l made no
mistake when l bought Charles Edward. He
could have run that mile In 1877 fat a. sure as
your alive. and I'm a bit sorry Knapp didn't
rde him out. II only to secure q new turf honor.
believe Charles Edward can beat almost
any Splinter at six furlongs with big weight

Of stamina as well as speed. wish the public
could have cleaned UT with him to-day, for
he was a real good thing
In making his book on the race Dubois
held Charles Edward out and laid the other
starters. He won a bundle on the result, as
he handled large wsgers on DR.. Gardner and

nockburn colt. at that. ran the race Of his
life.
There is no excuse for him. : said Farrell
after the race. He did his best, but was up
against two wonderful three-year-olds In
Charles Edward and Ballot. DR.. Gar dner
was backed from 10 to S down 20 8 to S at the
last moment. while Charles Edward went
back In the betting from 5 TO ? to 9. IL was
Pallot's first appearance this year, and the
Voter colt was perhaps a bit short. As IL
was he ran a great race and will be heard
from again in the near future. Electioneer's
performance clinched the general belief
that he is not the colt that experts thought
he was when he ran second to Peter Pan at
Gravesend. He was very fretful In the pad
dock. and Trainer Lakeland said that he
did not expect much from him.. but never
theless he was backed from s down to 4. The
Brighton mile was run In 1905 for the drst
time. when John A. brakes Ort Wells. a four
ysar-old. won 1t In iss is. Last year Sydney

and had done some fast work since his
defeat by Dreamer at the Bay last week. he
got a strong play at the last moment. when
his price had gone up 10 s. Dave Johnson.

the know backed him down to 4 and cleaned

but so was Suffrage. who forced him to equal
the track record to beat her. Suffrage was
played from 3 down TO IL to s and was In
receipt Of eleven pounds Of the scale from
Roseben. Prince Hamburg receded to 8 and
ran far below his best form. Penarris was
backed down TO s. but was never prominent.
