The Seattle “Post-Intelligencer’’ to- ; morrow will print a copyrighted article by Mr. Rufus Naylor replying to the ,

contentions of Whitney and other Eastern horsemen in connection with the proposed Winooka-Equipoise race for 10,000 dollars. Mr. Naylor writes: “The disparaging remarks concerning Winooka’s eligibility to match with Equipoise are against racing facts. Winooka is recognised as the fastest sprinter produced in Australia and New Zealand. This is backed by the season’s record, and wins in'Sydney and Melbourne.” He issues a formal challenge to Equipoise’s owner for a six-furlong race late in October, either in New York or in Maryland. Other members of the entourage also took exception to Whitney’s remarks and intimated that tlie horse’s backers are prepared to wager heavily against Equipoise. They syggest a winner-take-all match. It is said that Mr. Naylor lias been authorised by Messrs Macdonald and Matthews to* wager 10,000 dollars that Winooka will defeat Equipoise at seven! furlongs. Mr. Poison to-day stated) that the lior.se was'reaching top form, j He predicted he would break tlicj world’s six furlongs record in the' match against Onrush on September 16. TEA TRADER RUNS FOURTH.

J iWeatherzane (Shields) and Haunui f (Feasy) finished together over half a mile in olsec, Wea.tliefzane going the better at the finish. Aga Ivhan (,W. Pine) went a working gallop over six furlongs, doing 1.22 comfortably. Daiagano was'apportioned a similar task, neither being after time. On the plough St. Clara (M. Pine) and Richfield (W. Pine) were companions over four furlongs anti finished together in oik-sec. Flying East (Shields) and Ingenuity (Coyle) sprinted two furlongs in 27sec. Ingenuity showed improvement and is shaping -satisfactorily. Attentive (Shields) and Gibraltar (Feasy) galloped three furlongs, finishing together in 3Ssec. This was Attentive’s .first fast work for some time and lie -shaped well. Gibraltar’s performance was a- great improvement on his recent efforts." Ca-rfex was given easy exercise on the sand track.
