It was published during the week that Mr. Wheateroft bad none to Victoria to have a part in the management of the racing at that l«iint. •There is no truth in that statement." said Edwin C. Huff. Mr. Wheaterotts eonlidential man. who lias charge of the St. James thoroughbreds here. "Mr. Wheat. reft has no interest whatever in the Yietoria track, and I doubt if he will go near it at all during his -tav of six weeks at his farm on St. .janies Island. He has twenty-five acres in a very tin- variety of strawliorrios and the harvest will lie aliouf fifty elates a day for the next six weeks. He finds ureat pleasure in personally superintending the pieking and shipping of these bellies, and that is why lie has gone west. Talking Bbonl the horses and raring Mr. Huff said: "Aside fr.in a few that IN leased to various parties. Anderson is now the only horse racing in uhieh Mr Wheateroft has any interest.

"Lew Marion will siieiul the summer with jockey Can/, and will go to Canada with him jilter the I.ap.nia meeting. I". J. Pons has tirst call on the bay at I.aionia. We have been advised that in the .vent of tin- N.w York tracks closing there will lie about forty days of racing at Iyouisville next fall, ami if this proves to be the case Mr. Marion will cease back t Kentucky ami take up the horses. Otherwise they will run out until the time conies to get ready for racing at the winter tracks. "We have thirty-nine vearlings at the farm. They are we!! grown and a representative collection. Mr. Wheateroft had intended, until the amendments to the New York racing law wen passed, to semi them to ffhcf nshrad Bay to be auctioned this month, but he withdrew them from the sale and will hold them until fall unless they can be disposed of privately.
