This Is fly time on sny rao* track of tlie country. Can It be bettered. This la a question that will he answered during the forthcoming Alc~ Sar Ben meeting, for Racing' Secre tary Charles T,. Trimble has just an nounced that during the third week of the meeting he will stag* an Owner s handicap at an even mile. In an Owners handicap, each horse man entering a thoroughbred Is ah lowed to name the weight his runner shall carry and It will be up to hhn to get the services of a lightweight Jockey. When this announcement Is read there wdll be a lot of real smart turf fans who will predict that a new mark for tha mile will be made and fhelr forecast should tine true, for ns grand a performer ns The Aran ranian may go postward in this event with only tlie proverbial feather of HO pounds on Ills stalwart hark. Then again the I pdike-.lones ronfede/aey may elect to send both I/orena Mar eelia and Second Thoughts after the long end of the ptirse. There are any number of fast toilers stabled out Alt Sal-Ben way and with many midget riders on hand to guide them a select field of speed marvels will easily be gathered together. The mils mark of 1 38 3 R for the \k-Sar Ben track was made last year l-y Dorothy Ruckner, who established the time witli 108 pounds on her hack. I/»t vis suppose that ehs only had 75 or SO pounds itp that day. there Is no telling how- fast she would have stepped the distance. Surely she would have shade-1 1:38.

By nw I’ I W M s|| i:\V YORK. May 23.—W I t h Zev i mining a club foot and fit. T a m e «. Wise Counsellor and Sarazen In vir tual or actual re tirenient, west ern horsemen liaie begun to li a 1 1 yhoo Black Hold, winner of the Ken tucky derby, as the logical opponent of Kpinard, French champion, in at lead one of his match races here later In tlie campaign. The Houle entry Is the only thor oughbred of consequence apparently that. Can run fast enough to keep warm at ttijs juncture. Tlie agitation raised hj Black Hold's followers was noted In the east, for the first time several days after the derby, t ntll then many turf critics were disposed to look down their noses at the black son of I seeit. find ing much fault with a colt that had been unplaced only three raees out of Zt. Even after he won at Churchill Downs, overcoming more obstacles than did Zev a year ago, hla tradu cers were not silent. They seized upon August Belmont's Ordinance and declared him to be the best 8-year 1 old in training for no particular rea son. Yesterday Ordinance spilled the beans all over the premises by run ning fifth :n tile Metropolitan handi cap at Belmont park. It is admitted now. east and weet, that if tlie Epinard races were to be run tomorrow, Black Hold would be the only repi eeentative American norse availavle. Zev, hardly the dash-a jug rolt of 1923 lias been bealen by St, James which, in turn, broke down in preparing for Ihr I’reaknees. \\ i**e Counsellor, once regarded as the greatest 3 year okl in the west and a winner oxer Black Gold, xxent had at Pimlico aud is out of training. sara/.en. unbeaten 2 year old of last season, failrd to develop and has lost caste every xvhere. The evidence, therefore. Is all In favor of Black tiold and unless some thing happens to him In the mean time he is almost certain to lie named to face Epinard in one or more races tilts fall. In fact the American can do no less. The American horse that ran xxin the lanjlslana derby and Kan tucky trial as impressively as Black Gold and then turn around and run over his field at Churchill Downs aft I »r the Interference he suffered is a championship colt. Bracadale xxas beaten by eight lengths by laturann in the Metropoli tan yesterday, and some of the east prn crowd might l*e inclined to speak long and loudly for the Sinclair colt They thought lie placed second in the derby and perhaps he did, but his Metropolitan performance was so me dioere as to make this contention of negligible Importance. Seemingly Bracadale will not go. Neither will his stable companion, Mad Play. It is barely- possible that L'hllhowee, Beau Butler and Altawood, western horses, placed two-three-four. In the derby, might develop Into plausible opponents for Epinard. They were dose up to Black Gold, true enough, but It is the writer's conten tion that without interference, Black Hold would have won the derby by three lengths. lie had all the foot of! the field and It wasn't a bad one,' t that.

With the field slippery and the skinned part of the baseball diamond muddy as the result of the recent rain, the cowboys and cowgirls here to compete for the money prizes went through their various stunts in rapid fashion and gave' the shivering specta tors many thrills before the afternoon liari ended. Because of the |H*or con dition of the field, slow time wa« chalked up in all events. "Wild Jim" Lynch of Milea City, Mont., who bulldogs steers from horseback, motorcycle and the run ning boards of automobiles, was un able to attempt his r«r bulldoggir froin an auto Friday because of th* slippery condition of the ground.

Eleven cowboys tried their skill at remaining on the back of buckin , snortin' horses, but few succeeded. The muddy ground made riding all the more thrilling to the spectators. Oklahoma Curley of Fairview, OkJ , riding "Aeroplane.” the hardest hor=e to ride at the rodeo, managed to stay on "deck" long enough to win first money. ".Aeroplane" is the horse that broke down one side of the cor ral the first day and has unseated big rider each time until Oklahoma Charley put a !*g over him. R. L. Ward of Fort Worth. Tey , came in for second money in the sad dle bronc riding, when he remained in Ihc saddle on "Humbling Ked" Ta ll bucks and about 11 more thrown in for good measure.
