 Reviewing the possibility of this offer being accepted by Warren Wright, owner ot Whirlaway and 9@AbNSA 6s &bAA0ASD OWAASA VA V@A Relic, Judge Dooley expressed him self as Iollows:- T believe our offer will be accepted because these colts belong to two outstanding sports men, to whom the sporting cnarac- ter of such a match will make 6 tremendous appeal. From what I gather from conversations with MT. tsiddle, the only immediate stake engagements held by his colt are in the Governors Handicap, tat Narragansett park, the same day as the proposed match race) and the Jerome Handicap ct Belmont park, September 24th. My impreS- /; sion after talking with Mir. Ben Jones, in the absence of MT. Warren Wright, is that they are not overly keen about starting Whirlaway over the one mile and five-eignts of the Lawrence Realization next Sat- urday. All of which seems to leave the colts clear to race here oh Sep- tember 27.
 Same Weight, Distance
 Our suggestion of even weights 116 pounds or any other even weight that is agreeable to both owners, is based on an appraisal of the colts respective merits as established h the NarragansetC Special. The dis tarice suggested, one mile and three sixteenths, is the same distance aS the colts raced, over last Saturday Our plus offer of $6,oOO to be do- mated by us to the United Service Organizations in the event of the match being consumated, offers all parties concerned the opportunity of helping Q very worthy cause.
 We believe our offer is timely and quite substantial. Last Satur. day our New England racegoers ex- hibited greaetr enthusiasm over 6 horse race than ever before. Though the Narragansett Special of i04l produced the smallest field in his. tory, New England's enthusiasm was unbounded and spread from coast to coast. We hope that MT Riddle and Mir, Wright will accept our offer in the same sporting spirit \ ag jt As made"
