"BOOSTING" OF OSTRICH CAUSES A ROW. The buying of Ostrich out of a selling race at Saratoga Saturday afternoon by John McGInnis, led to a , lively quarrel in the paddock after the race between McGinnis and John Ilynes, former trainer of the horse. McGinnis wanted the horse delivered to him without formality immediately after he was returned to the paddock, to the end that he might be cooled out by one of his McGinnis men. "Hynes, who was as angry as, a hornet over losing the horse, positively refused to yield the horse until McGinnis preduced an order from the judges directing him to," says the Morning Telegraph. "Hynes and McGinnis called each other names, and McGinnis assured the crowd which gathered to see the fun that he had ,000 with which to make good any obligations he might contract, and that be had got It honestly. Hynes expressed doubt as to both propositions, and absolutely declined to take McGinnis word for anything. Friends Intervened before anything serious came out of their quarrel. Hynes is riled at losing Ostrich because the Order colt, who won the Crescent City Derby thrae seasons back, is just rounding into condition. He is one of the serviceable platers in training. But McGinnis will have to bet heavily every time he starts Ostrich In a selling race. For Hynes and Sexton, the horses former owner, swear they will make It hot for the young man from Brooklyn. If, however, McGinnis had not taken Ostrich Sexton would have lost him in another direction. Jack Bennet announced in the clubhouse after the horse was knocked down, that McGinnis anticipated him."
