every horse that came from Louisville is ailing Although Lucky Baldwins Baldwin string has been at Oakley Ankle for nearly a month he has not yet been able to send one of his horses to the post The Westchester Esthete Stable has also been unf un ortuate fortunate in this particular This stable went to Oakley Ankle two weeks before the races opened and has been there ever since but has not one start to its credit Wednesday the stable was shipped to St Louis LouisAround Louisa Around New York there is a similar condition of horse health affairs Twothirds Toothier of the horses are on the sick list Keenan has been coughing for a month and has been started anything but a well horse Belmar Bellman the gallant little gray is the latest patient and was struck out of the Brooklyn in consequence Donohue Downpour the trainer of the Erie stable with his usual shrewdness removed the horses from Morris Park to Brooklyn to escape the contagion as he has Lazzarono Lazar and Nanki Nan

tell a tale against the item considered to be the chief factor of his financial woe Flynn evidently let off something Bowers bet on badly there is a probable double appli applied ¬ cation caption and thus the Boweresque Bowers story runs Wherefore this gelid gelatinous ghostly and gloomful gloom slowness Starter Flynn His work is slow clumsy bungling in almost every race You ought to consult a medical expert Starter Flynn Phosphorous is an effective brain stim tim ¬ ulant ulan when used in right doses So is arsenic when proberly properly applied And quinine and black coffee and antique

porous and arsenic and black coffee and qui ¬ nine and mediaeval brandy and brace up upThe Ute The Bowers of the turf are too many and too well used Bowers was ruled off once The Eastern folks make a mistake when they ruled him on again The newspaper cloak is some ¬ times too strong for the sake of justice justiceBen justice Ben Brush goes at once to St Louis for the 20 000 National Derby which is to be run at the Fair Grounds a week from Saturday or to go to dates June 20 That prize the Oakley Ankle Derby for which Prince Lief Leif defeated the great son of Bramble and the Latonia Antonia

principally bookmakers and their attachments Every sharp figure in every line of life has They are those or the friends of those that have stacked up against Dwyer and fallen down But none can say that the ox butcher has over followed any but a winning way The winning ways the public way and the American public likes Mike Dwyer and his horses If the figures were at hand they would show that he has bet more than 10000000 in his turf career mostly at short prices After the Latonia Antonia Derby Mr Dwyer is likely to go East with his stable and use it on the Metropolitan tracks to the end of the season Mr Dwyers Dyers hardest nut its the juiciest though is the St Louis race In it he has to meet Crescendo BothRamiros Botherations Prince Lief Leif Beau Ideal II Santa Bella Ella Semper Simper Ego Barba Barb rossa rosa and Nimrod Imo are all in it The suggestion of contest about such a field is sharp even though Crescendo is not just right rightIn righting In the Latonia Antonia race
