THOMAS DECIDES TO QUIT THE TURF Millionaire Banker, Who Started Racing Horses to Obtain Re- laxation from Business Cares, Has Got Enough of It. /HIS VICTORIES TOO SCARCE. | rs. Thomas Partly Responsible for Hie Venture, Hie Purch of Hermis for $60,000, and Manage- ' ment of the Stable. ‘After @ turf experience of only a few ‘woeks, which involves an expenditure of nearly $200,000, E. R. Thomas, the young millionaire banker, has an- ounced that he will dispose of his able of thoroughbreds eat public auc- tion in the sales ring at Bay. Several weeks ago Mr, Thomas an- nounced that he was going into racing for health and relaxation. He said that the had been sticking too closely to bust- ness, and as he hadn't time to give to yachting he concluded he would have @ stable of tnoroughbreds to tone up his system. He sald he was ready to-spend half a million dollars to get a winning stable together, and added that he was in the game not for money but for glory. Perhaps it has been the persistent scarcity of glory that has so quickly turned Mr. ‘Thomas against racing. He is too hard-headed a business man and too good a sportsman to have been dis- eatisfied this early in ‘ais career by his failure to win purses. When Mr. Thomas went into the racing game ho realized that it would be “all going out @nd nothing coming in" for awhile, but he had one or two ambitions which he theught would be realized. One of those ‘waa.to win the classic Suburban Handi- cap, and with this end in view he paid $60,000 for Hermis, the king of last sea- @on'e three-year-old division. Great Hermis Beaten, ‘This was the largest price ever paid fora thoroughbred in training, and all Mr, Thomas has had for his outlay has been to sep his great son of Hermance disgracefully beaten In four starte, his last time out by two of tie most ondi- nary platers at Sheepshead Bay track. Perhaps Mr. Thomas might not have felt so keenly the defeats of Hermis ‘bad it not been for the public ériticism whith followed. It was evident that Hermis was sent to the post when he was not up to a race. When Florham Queen, a 60-to-l shot, ran him off his feet at Sheepshead Bay on Wednesday ‘horsemen commented that the great son jot Hermance looked as fat us a well- kept cob, Mfs. Thomas ts 9 native of Kentucky, anda racing enthusiast. She seconded her husband's turf ventures with un- bounded Interest, and, according to common report, has had much to say out the conduct of her husband's lable. It is belleved she Influenced Mr. Thomas to enter Hermis on several )evcasions. Has Two Victories, Jn the eight weeks that Mr. Thomas's eoloré have been seen at Gravesend nd Sheepshead he has achieved vic- tory only twice. On June 3 his two- year-old, Vagary, won a race, and on Monday last, Puleus, a two-yeat-old in jwhiéh he owns a half interest with John Maddon, led his field home. The stars of the Thomas stable have ‘achieved nothing. ‘The $60,000 Hermis, @s already told, has started four times yand failed to win. Onetas, a three- jyear-old, for which Mr. ‘Thomas paid ye, has not been started. Yardarm, 000 three-year-old, has run sev: a ree aie anything ke “his: last yeat"s form. Buttons, @n- gas three-year-old, purchased ‘from. ‘ohn Mudden, has not started, and Mr. ‘Thomas says he is unfit to put up for \ auction, and may make @ good saddle horse. Pulaus, tor which Mr. Thomas and Mr. Madden paid W. $33,000 each, has dione justified his own ere expectations, Vagary, Dimple and Bt. Valentine, two-year-olds, owned outright by Mr, Thomas, are’ reckoned as an ordinary lot, though they the young banker 4 pretty penny. Mr. ‘Thomas's purchases represent an outlay Of $168,000.

Eccentricity covers & multitude of sins, sometimes. it Js sometimes a valuable cloak.» Daly horses often show queer form, but not the slightest attention is paid to them by the stewards. They probably re- gard the horses as having contracted the eccentric Daly habit.

Raoing Officers Might Find Much Worthy of Their Atten- tion in Probing the Methods Long Employed by Daly. Jookey Michaels tells an interesting ftory concerning one William C. Daly, known to the turf as “Father Bill.” Michaels says that Daly gave him the mount on Torehlight on June 19, and that when he was just about to mount the mare Daly told him not to punish her, as he had not been able to do much with her, she ‘having split her hoot = day or so before.

Not since the old days of the Horton law has a sporting event created so much interest as the Bothner-Kelter wrestling contest, which in down for de- cision to-night In the London Theatre. The whole lower east side is talking | about the match and speculation on the outcome Is brisk, Of course Kelter, who is the pride of the enst ride, ts the one who will carry their money, as well as thelr best wishes, Kelter, who has trained as he never did before for this match, threw open his gymnasium yes* terday, to the public, who watched him work for over an hour. ‘The east sider, after pulling and tugging away at three big men who weighed pounds more than he did, pulled up after all this work without even turning a hair, If Kelter 1s defeated to-night 1t won't be on account of his condition, for every muscle in his body ts as Hard aq tron, Bothner, like his opponent, is tuned up to the notch and prepared for a gruelling match, Billy Elmer says that Bothner will surely surprise the east siders, and that he will be on hand with lots of big tank bills to take all the Kelter money offered. The rest of the programme, three bouts in all, should furnish plenty of excitement before the star event. —$$———__- TROTTING MATINEE AT YONKERS TRACK TO-MORROW Nine Races Have Been Arranged by New York Oriving Club.
