The racing stable of William C. Whitney has for several years been a prominent factor in national turf affairs, and at the present time the retired financier may be said to have the ablest collection of thoroughbreds ever gathered under the colors of a single owner. Mr. Whitney's three-year-olds are unquestionably of sterling class, although i htj W. C. WHITNEY AT THE TEACH. it must be admitted that tlieir showing thus far has been somewhat of a disappointment to those who saw and knew of their performances in the twoyear-old division. Mr. Whitney is an ardent patron of the races, being present at the track when any of his horses are entered to run to scan their work with his educated eye and note their progress. He is a master of practically every branch of the horse racing game, and now that he is producing winning blcod at his Lexington (Ky.) stock farm one of his greatest latter day ambitions is being realized, for Mr. Whitney considers the breeding of champion thoroughbreds a pastime which profits as well as pleases. Buffalo** Xevr Track. It will be welcome news to horsemen to learn that the new race course at Buffalo is beyond doubt a "go." The iron and steel work of the grand stand, betting pavilion and paddock is all in place, and only the finishing touches are needed. Stabling for over GOO horses is now finished. The track lioc lifion ini*l out nnd as there is little or no rock or stone and the ground very level that part of the work is easy. A clubhouse is in contemplation, and a large membership of Buffalo's best people will become members. A half mile track will be built within the mile oval, and over this the very large number of amateur drivers in the city will have a chance to enjoy their favorite pastime. Purses larger than ever before giveu in that neighborhood will prevail, and the stakes in contemplation will open the eyes of turfmen when announced. It is now said that the meeting will commence on Saturday, Aug. 1, and continue twenty days. Then there will be an interval so as not to interfere with the fall meeting at Toronto, after which the racing will be resumed at Buffalo. Dnclmni n. "Comer.'' In Pitcher Wiley Dunham of St. Louis the National league has apparently secured another rising player. Dunham is even taller than "Yank" ' - - l 1 T> ^11 1 ernes, almost as uroau us x unm auu has a "wing" that would make Frank Donahue the grandest pitcher in the land v.-ere it lined up alongside of the "brick top's" mammoth brain. Dunham is a product of Ohio's country land. Piketown is his postofiice address. That hamlet isn't cn many maps and probably isn't known to half a dozen St. Louisians. There in the winter time does Wiley teach the lads and lassies how to spell, read and add. lie t is the village teacher, just .as "Deacon" Phillippi, the Pirates' boss pitcher, is at his Indiana nomestead. Duni ham will do, so will O'Neill, and that youthful battery promises to be one of the Cardinals' best. The Coming- Henley. Canada's delegation of oarsmen tc | the Henley regatta, July 0, 10 and 11. is now in London. Prominent amonj; them is Louis Scholes, amateur chaini plon sculler of Canada, who defeated ( C. S. Titus on the Harlem river. New York, on Decoration day and who will meet the American champion in the race ror tne uumionu sen us. The Argonaut crew of Toronto sailed also. Last year the Argonauts won the I championship of America from the > Vespers at Philadelphia. They wil row in England for the Grand Chal lenge cup. The members of the crew who sailed were G. II.
