BULLMAN WILL BE HERE. New York, June 4!— For a time today there was doubt about Bullmans ability to fill his engagement to ride McChesney at Harlem Saturday. About S oclock this morning he entered the stall of his trotting stallion, The Ravenna, which he purchased a few days ago to drive on the roads. The horse attacked and bit him on the right side just above the hip. A stable attendant went to Bullmans assistance and rescued him. Of course the jockeys injuries were exaggerated and it was positively asserted he would not go to Chicago. He did not ride this afternoon, although the attending physician said he might if he wished. But he will start for Chicago on the Pennsylvania limited tomorrow morning and be in Chicago Saturday morning. When Heno galloped home an easy winner of the Standard Stakes today the theory that a three-year-old could not be shipped to Chicago to run in the American Derby and come back here without suffering injury as a racehorse, was pronounced exploded. It was a matter of comment in the Gravesend paddock that Hermis after his return, was the best horse in the east last fall and that Heno now appeared able to carry full weight and go any distance racehorses can go. Jack Joyner, who trains Water Boy and has backed that horse to win a fortune, remarked: "Heno was a racehorse today. I can see him looming up prominently in the Suburban. I timed him the mile and a quarter in five and a quarter and dont know how fast he could have run the mile and a half if he had been compelled to more than gallop the last furlong." John E. Madden chimed in: "I bought him for a hundred and sold him for twenty thousand." Heno takes up four pounds penalty for todays race. Mackey Dwyers race today was gratifying to those who have backed him for the American Derby. At the present time he is the only eastern candidate likely to be a starter. T. J. Gallagher.
