There is likely to be some trouble over the Bennett jockey riding tho last-named, Owner Newman is said to have engaged Van-dusan to pilot his horse before he loft Chicago. "Vandueeh claims that he has reduced to ride the mare, and that he has also refused mounts on other likely starters. He was surprised yesterday to learn that Newmans trainer had he supposes, without Newmans knowledge arranged with Coburn to ride the mare. Naturally, Yandnsen is much wrought up over the matter, and it certainly looks as though he had baen treated very shabbily in the transaction. "Several of the inaugural eligibles received their final trials yesterday. The Morris pair, Choice and Fake, were sent the Inaugural roate threa-qaartara and their trials stamp them as having a chanca second to nono. Choices work was as folio wa: 12, 24, 361, 49, l:03i, 1:16. Fakes fractional time was: 12, 24, 3S, 59, 1:17. Add worked with the latter and finished oat the six furlongs in 1 :18tc.

The Bush worked three-quarters in 1:17. Fremont Sloans Wiedemann worked from the three-quarters post to the grandstand in 1:17. Bummer want over the same route in 1:22.

She covered the laet quarter in 25 seconds. Prince Blazes, with Willie Nutt in the saddle, worked a mile in 1 :47. He pulled up very tirtd. "Several jumpers were schooled over the ateeplechaee course. Dangerline and Manheim went a turn of the field together. Both jumped well. Ellison was on Manheim and Tanner on Dangerline. McLamore went over the course twice. He was very rank, but jumped well. Lairds jumper, Bauber, while being schooled by jockey Gormley, came to grief at the jump near the five-eighths post. In taking off, the horse slipped and fell. Gormley was unharmed, but the horse was knocked out for a few minutes. It was thought for a time that his neck was broken, but he finally-scrambled to his feet none the worse for his tumble. "George C.
