The conditions of the Heaslip Cup called for a journey of two miles, and Temaceo carried top weight. He showed that he was a stayer by rating along in lx-Iiind the pacemaker until in the la-t quarter, where lie moved up aud drew away ninler restraint. There were only four starters. niil one of them.

In Ken tacky the netac situation is not as clear as il Wight he aud I am anxious lo be on the ground to assist in tin- preparations for our i-oming meeting al Churchill Downs. You may siale positively that the New Louisville Jo, key Club will hold its Bfftaj meeting this year as it has for more than a | cade. "We are contemplating some improvements at the Kmpire city track and my associates in that enterprise have been so insistent on my presence there that I feel I cau no longer put the matter off. You i will remember that when I accepted the manage meiit of the- tracks here 1 had not made the Kmpire engagement. That is more important to me • tiin ii are my duties here. "In a measure,! am sorry to sever my connections • with lhe local lining. 1 feel, how.-ver. that we • have accomplished to the letter the thing we set l out to do and now. that affairs are running along ; smoothly, there is no longer any absolute in ssity for my presence here.
