DE MUND A COOL WEATHER HORSE. The result of the Flatbush Stakes on Saturday x proved conclusively two important things that De Mjnd is a cool weather horse and that Electioneer must be favored by races that he likes or he will not show his best form," says the New York World. "As both youngsters have got to be favored liy special conditions it bars them ,from being classified as great. "De Mund, a nervous, hlghstrung horse, wastes away in hot weather and Is in his poorest condition at the very height of the racing season, whei the majority of the rjch slakes are decided. This makes him lose nnich of his value as a racehorse. "Electioneer seems unable to show to advantage except on straight courses. As alt the valuable races next year for three-year-olds must be decided over the main tracks, which means many turns, Electioneer will not be able to viu unless lie learns to race around them." ."
