 ment that he has I'eceived a telegram 

 from A. J. Joyner, trainer for Harry

 on Eddie Dugan. the jockey. Durnell 

 says he sold only first call on Dugan 

 for the present New York season to 

 Mr. Whitney a year ago and that his 

 contract on the boy runs until May 15, 

 1909. He has telegraphed to Joyner 

 that he would take $7,500 for the re- 

 maining time the contract has to run.

 him.
