HAYES TRH? EAST COSTS HIM 0,000. Louisville, Ky., September 15. T. P. Hayes who returned recently from Saratoga reports that his eastern trip was a disastrous one, costing him pretty nearly 0,000. The accident to jockey Austin was costly. On several occasions he started horses, which to him appeared to have excellent chances of winning, and against which he secured liberal prices. For example, he bet ,000 on Hazelthorpe at an average of 12 to 1 when she was left at the post with W. Knapp on her. Had she been racing in the west in the same company Hayes would have accepted 1 to 3 for his money. Speaking of Sir Huon, Mr. Hayes says that his defeat by Go Between at Saratoga was a joke. "Sir Huon had gone all to pieces then," said he "and was not even the ghost of his former self. At that it took Go Betweens very life to beat him. Any fair selling plater accustomed to going a distance would have proved an easy winner of that race." Of the youngsters racing in the east, Mr. Hayes thinks that J. C. Core will develop into the lest three-year-old.
