Not so the layers. They will be glad to
see the boy on the ground, for his pres

hard one for them to book to. In other
words, much support is given Millers
mount that they have to either take the
Miller money and give up any attempt
toward a conservative book on that race,
hold him out themselves.
Now, with Miller out of the way for
week. the layers will take more chances.
and racegoers may expect more liberal
prices against the horses that Miller gen

many of these mounts, and he will have a

speaking of the two boys, their duel In the
Dinner stakes, and Miller's week off: Both
good boys, and close thing between them in
finish. But Miller Is the quickest post

Gen. W. T. Townes. however, owner of
the speedy FLY Workmaid, is not certain
that Malacca is faster than his filly and
said yesterday that he would not be averse
to a match special race with Malacca
and Lord Boanerges. Certainly the sister to
Workman won her race last week just as
easily, If not more so, than Malaeca has his
two, and Workmaid ran her six furlongs
in 1.15 to Malacca'S lis S-5.
Horace E. for the present Is q dethroned
idol Both Trainer Garth and Owner Rainey
were much disappointed over his ignomini-

Bannockburn until he shows them some

great mother. Imp. While not the color of
the famous mare, he gallops just like she
