Yank.- was aBKMSg the leeruiis. The big speculators again fared badly, several of their efforts going wrong. A noticeable incident of this sort came m tin lifih race when Brosscau, looked upon as a likely Derby prospect, was backed with ran- confidence. He was meeting ordinan opposition, but failed to place. His failure was the more aggravating to his owner from the fact ihat he was claimed after the race for an Insignificant sum by A. G. Blakdey, who was represented iu iln- race by lick Tack. Broseeau ami Judge Wrighl were recently taken over bv Francis .1. pons from James Griffin for the reported price ef ,000, BroMSean being In id th.- more valuable because of his tbrei year old engagements and Derby prospects. !. lUakeb-y. of course had a perfect right under the conditions to claim Broaaeau from the race, but it is thought tiiat overtures will be made to him for the reiurn of the horse to tin- Tennessee Stable at an advance over the claiming price.
