9 BELMONT TURF GOSSIP Mr. Sinclair was too overcome by the great victory to make any response as he accepted the trophy. Trainer Jarvis took the weight and looked after it himself after jockey Donoghue weighed out. Jockey Thurber was suspended for three days for crossing Wampee in the stretch in the first race. G. D. Bryan, Jr., and James OHara, interested in several race courses, came over to view the big race. It appeared as if every section of the country had representation here, and it included many notables. John H. Maddigan, president of the Niagara Jockey Club, came over from Fort Erie to witness the International. Chicagoans were numerous and included prominent persons, including John Conroy, Judge McDonald and Charles McCullough. Jockey Bell was suspended for five days for similar crossing in the first race, in which Forearm, Bessie Gershel and Day Trap fell, i The consideration given Papyrus was so marked that many were led to remark that Zev was being entirely neglected by comparison. Col. Matt J. Winn, general manager of the Kentucky Jockey Club, entertained in his box Col. Andrew S. Yennie, Henning Chamber and other friends. Owners and trainers, as well as the race followers, manifested keen interest in Stefan the Great, owned by J. E. Widener. He was being exhibited in the paddock between the second and third race. It was a crestfallen retinue that accompanied trainer .Jarvis after he had attended to the blanketing of his charge. "The better horse won today," was the sum and substance of his remarks on the race. Francis Nelson, steward representing tho Canadian Racing Associations, and who will serve as the presiding official at Tijuana at the coming winter meeting, took considerable interest in the International race. Trainer Jarvis and his retinue, including jockey Stephen Donoghue, return to England next Tuesday. The same adequate preparations used to bring Papyrus here, have been installed on board the Aquitania for his return. Considerable attention was given the riding methods of Sande and Donoghue as they appeared in the saddle on their respective mounts. Sande appeared the less stiff in the saddle and also seemed the more alert after the race began. Former senator, Johnson N. Camden, chairman of the Kentucky State Racing Commission, who served as one of the stewards in the International race, entertained a distinguished party of Kentuckians during the interim that he served in the stewards stand. Montfort Jones, who races with his brother under the name of Audley Farm Stable, is eager to purchase Papyrus and will, it is said, make a satisfactory offer to owner Irish for the transfer of the Epsom Derby winner. It is said that Mr. Irish has offered the horse for 00,000 since his defeat in tho St. Leger. "I want to thank you sincerely for your generosity in turning over your splendid quarters for use. during my stay," said trainer Jarvis on meeting J. S. Cosden this morning. "Glad to have been of service," was Mr. Cosdens reply. Trainer Jarvis up to a late hour before the races entertained many notables, who were eager to glimpse a close-up of the noted English trainer.
