Saturday Puss in Bovts dropped fifteen and Dominant took up eight, making a difference of twenty-three pounds in the filly's favor. As the race proved, it was too big a task for Dominant. The colt Boots ten pounds and a beating. If Roamer were owned by anybody but Steward Andrew Miller, the offi- cials here might find some reason for investigating the difference in the running of the great horse in his last two races. Of course, there is the old alibi of the cuppy track for ‘his defeat in the Champlain Handicap, still Roamer had a phenomenal work- out for the race in the same going. ‘There was only a three pounds differ- ence in the welght he carried then, and on Saturday in the Merchants’ and Citizens’ Handicap. That does not seem sufficient reason for the big change in Roamer’s race. Mars Cassidy will probably resume ‘his place on the starter’s stand to-day. Mars has been laid up tor two days with an attack of indigestion. Judge Pettingill filled bis place very ac- coptably Saturday. All day yesterday Cassidy was virited by scores of friends, Carriages and autos were driven to the door of his Regent Street cottage from morning until night.
