THOUGHT RYE A CINCH. "It turned out yesterday that before the running of the Carter Handicap Dave Johnson made all soils of overtures to the Sullivaus to scratch Rye and let him have Miller to ride Roseben," says the New lork Sun of Wednesday. "But the Sullivaus thought they had a sure thing and thereby lost a chance to win a handsome sum from the books. Johuson still believes that if Beckmau had not behest Beeebn araaaad the field, but had waited in behiud for au opening near the rail at the head of the stretch, Roseben would have won in a canier. The plunger said yesterday that he eared nothing for Hie â– essay he lost in wagers, but that he- fell sorry that Boeebea could not have lathed with two Carter Handicap victories to his credit."
