Payne whitney Tor $4,000 cash. The deal
was practically closed last October. but
OurneIl blocked Il at the last moment by
demanding . bonus OF S3S. 900 for the crack
lightweight. Mr.. whitney considered the
pEib0 sHOrbltant and the negotiations ceased.
althouRh Trainer John W. Rogers sRid at
AhG time that Dugan would surely ride for
che whitney Stable In 1903. Before Durpell
left here for the coast he said that unless
Ms terms were accepted he would retain first
an on the boy. next year. but the fact that
Durnell has since been ruled on the turf prob
ably forced him to make the best terms
ponsibla with Mr.. Whitney. r. T. Wilson.
Ir. will have second oRll on DusRR. while the
Htchcocks and John r. Madden will have
third call. IL is said that in retaining fees
Dugan will receive from these big stables
cioaS to $780, 900 alone. and a. his services will
be In constant demand when not needed
by his regular employers he may earn a total
Of nearly $4,000 next season.
Durnell will sover all relations with Dugan
Immediately because OF the recent ruling Of
the Jockey Club. Just who will make the
boys engagements here In 1908 nobody seems
70. know Just now. but II is possible that
John W. Rogers will assume the task OF some
man closely identified with the Whitney
Stable. With James r.. Keene having a call
on the services OF Joe Notter it looks as II
waiter Miller would not have much work to
do for the Leading turfmen here. He will
come East under contract to Thomas II. Will
Jams and II. L. ROwell will make all Of his
engagements. Miller will probably ride for
thediminished Newcastle Stables string and
will also be in general demand among other
owners. but Dugan and NOttsr will probably
ride all the stars OF the turf bearing the Keene.

Derby az New Orleans yesterday. was bred
by Dir. Whitney. who believed that the young
rter would develop into a sensational stake
winner when he was ready for the races last
spring. Angolus is by observation-disclosures

Bundle Bee. whose racing qualities were
leased tor Mr.. Whitney by n. B. Duryea In
1907. AuRelus. however. proved a disap-
