'"The king is dead; long live the king" What some of the London sporting papers are saying about Tommy Burns since he got his from Jack Johnson is little short of scandalous. Here is what the fight man of the London Sportsman has to say about the one-time champion:
 Tommy Burns had had the fear of Jack Johnson on him ever since the black challenged for the championship after Burns had beaten O'Brien. He came to England to escape the colored man and pick up what he could in soft things Barring the match with Moir. he practi- cally selected his customers long headed fellow, with ever an eye to the main chance, Burns got on the blind side of a certain section of the press, who held up the man as the god of everything Placed by the friends on a lofty pedestal Burns was good enough to tell us-and in print, too-that we knew absolutely nothing about a game which is, and al- ways has been, essentially English. He laughed at our methods-indeed, at those of everyone, barring Tommy Burns-and all the while he was scooping in the dol lars ere he was called upon to face the Inevitable. Every man is entitled to all he can get providing he gets it fairly. But the methods of Burns were not looked upon sporting. Had we known what was in store for him at Sydney, one could have almost sympathzed with the French-Canadian in his desperate haste to scrape together his pile before he was called upon to meet his Waterloo
 ''The irony of it, as regards Burns, is that his overthrow has come from the man he has almost day by day pro- claimed in no uncertain manner coward This, while tolerated in some quarters here, and looked upon as quite the proper thing to do in connection with a colored man, gained Johnson many friends The methods of Burns did not appeal to the sporting public on this side of the At lantic and now that the bladder has been pricked Johnson will perhaps be given his dve"

There can be little doubt that French breeders are now finding a ready market all over the world. and their good sense In sending horses to run in other countries than their own has been one of the chief reasons for this. Although Ger many still buys extensively from England, France has stepped in there to big ex- tent. The French owners are indefatiga- ble in racing at Baden Baden.

When one hears that w. K. Vanderbilt has won e132 ,000, nearly $70O,000, in four years. it would seem off-hand that there was big money in the racing game But these winnings are not all profit by several thousand pounds.
 At MT. Vanderbilt's stud at Villebon there are five sires and 40 mares.
 William Duke will have in training for MT. Vanderbilt at Saint-Louis-de-P Possy 57 horses, nine 4-year-olds, 20 3-year-olds and 2S 2-year-olds. These ages date from January 1. The 4-year-olds will include Northeast, Sea Sick H. Gambalseuil and Raleigh. None of the 3-year-olds is likely to do as well as Northeast or Sea Sick II. Mir. Vanderbilt paid e960 for Sea Sick II. as yearling, and Gambaiseuil cost him e760.
