There was silver lining TO the clouds
which have hung over the turf fortunes of
Boots Durnell recently when. after many
unsuccessful attempts. ne gut his twO-yesr-
old colt senator Barrett over che plate In
ths second race aC Jamaica yesterday While
Iohn W. Gates was rolling them high during
the summer mouths Durnell was In clover He
had AnsOmobilee. expenslye clothing and all
the comforts OF life. Gates bet thousands
on the horses that ran In Durnell's name
and colorp, and the latter got a rakeolf that
footed up into the thousands. When Gates
went to Europe In July he left $4,000 with
DurneIl as q betting fund. hut during the
Saratoga meeting this money was dumped
into the book M akers' cash boxes with no
recall. while Durnell lost practically all of
HE owe bankroll. Then u was that he was
compelled TO sell most Of his horses. including
the great Nealon. who went for Sc 500. and
sfter that Durnsll. for some reason. raced a
few plnters In the name Of the Burlingsme
stable. He parted company with his trainer.
VIA. Mckinney, who said he wanted to go
Il on his own hook. and for & time Boots
dropped into the background except as the
manager OF Jockey r. DuRan.
Luck seemed to have entirely deserted him
until he won a race on Thursday with st.
Tlsrio. but the colt was bid up and taken
away from Durnel by II. j. Harris for 81 800.
With this fresh start Durnell was able to put
down a bet on senator Barrett yesterday
which netted him about 81. 500. In addition to
the purse DurneL also had some mOneyed
men at the track who bet heavily on the son
Of Ogden, so that he got something extra
70 stun into his pockets. When Senator
Barrett went to the post Durnell took a seat
10 the grand stand He looked as II he was
blue in spirits. but when the colt got away
from the barrier with a world OF speed and
ooDtinaed his spreadeagle flight TO the wire
Durnell awoke from his apparent letharRy
and actually smiled. Then he ran down to
the stewards stand. shaking hands with
several friends on the way, and soon found.
TO his intense satisfaction, that there was ne
bid when Senator Barrett gas put up FJr

II was the turning point in a long lane Of
misfortunes and Durnsll left the track after
the races In a happy frame Of mind. The
best price quoted against Senator Barrett
wa 10 20 I. but he closed at 7, his supporters
atvingtng their bets across the boards. Kid
Mccoy also had a supposed good thing in
this event In Bellwether. reduced from
90 Z, but he WAS only able to cash the place
and show wagers. Miss Delaney was taken
chiefly third for a hunch. But while the books
were separated from much coin on the plac-
ing of the first three they took in thousands

which enabled them to get better than an

by Clwd--Miss Jumbo. after the second
race. Marrone bought Clyde out of a selling
event at Empire City. but did not send him
TO the post until vest erday. The old fellow
was backed from 20 down 10 rs by Marrone
and his II allan friends and for a part of the
race he showed a flash Of speed. But on the far
turn he stopped suddenly. so that Mcdaniel.
Who had the mount, began 10 pull him up.
Clyde finished on three legs. but the moment
he passed the Judges IL was seen that he vas
In a pitiful condition. His or fOreleg was
dangling because of n broken stipeI. so there
was nothing left to be done but to end Clyde's
aufefings with a pistol ball. which was fired
into his ear.
