A St. Louis scribe has made a discovery which he sets forth in the following terms. " One of the carious coincidences of racing, which haa often been noticed but never explained, is that the successes and defeats of public favorites are simultaneous at different racing centers. For instance, where short-priced choices are beaten on one track, it is almost invariably the case that the prohibitive favorites get bnmped at other tracks throughout the country. Take Friday, for instance. At Kinloch, The Four Hundred, at 1 to 5 was beaten ; Euterpe at 1 to 2, was beaten at Delmar. If You Dare took Educated measure at Hawthorne, and Carbuncle lost toFirst Whip at Saratoga. The regularity with which suchupsetB ran in parallels goes far to disprove the theory always advanced after such a happening that the result has been achieved by fraud, because it is impossible to believe that all the crooks on all the tracks in the country have a preconceived plan to cheat on the same day. What is true of the defeats of the choices is likewise true of their successes. Where there is a ran of wins for the shortest priced horses on one track, it will usually ba found that the earns success attends the favor rites elsewhere. It is worth noticing."
