How the public were fleeced in a famous turt scandal is now for the first time revealed by one who for many years. was a lead- ing figure in turf circles. The Prau- lein scandal is familiar to everybody who takes an interest in racing. The sensational fleecing* of the public as- sociated with the horse's name oc- curred in the summer of 1876, She was a dead cert for the Liverpool Cup. Fortunes were staked upon the horse. The public swore by her. And then at the eleventh when. Fraulin, fit as a fiddl was ready to waltz home to victory, the owner stepped in and the horse was scratched. The trainer protested, but. protests were of no avail, and without a run for their money, the gold so freely lavished on Fraulein by the confident public passed into the pockets of the little knot of per- sons who stood to gain by such aud- acious procedure i Of a different nature, but hardly less sensational, is the story of Pat- tern, who, a year older than he was stated to be, enjoyed an. unfair ad- antage over all rivals. The drama- ic exposure which was eventially brought about is recorded in the same pages as the Fraulein. soandal, of by Sampson Low, Marston . and Co., prodeed a safe un of the safest sort T have ever known; and furnished the racing world with a sensation and a seandal whith is re- membered. present day. Years ago I was urged to tell the world what I knew about it. and have been offered. inducements to do so: but, for many, years, I resisted the temptation. And it was with the greatest reluctance, and only. af- ter a trying wrangle myself on the subject, that. I arrived at the conclusion it would be impossible for me to publish these reminiscences of my turf life without some reference to this notorious case. wherein I and my brother and other near friends were .at the hime, and frequently al and my friends were compelled to submit, to pretty constant abuse on the subject, and it was quite a com- mon thing, when we were driving away from a racecourse, to be as- sailed with; There goes the Fraulein mob, with, occasionally, a very much more violent assortment of epithets; and yet it is a fact that neither myself, my brother, nor any of, the three younger of the quartette of the brothers Collins, had the slightest bit to do with the inception or earrying out of this big job.

The following facts, however, will, I know, stand uncontradicted. Some time before the Liverpool , Races Mr. Gomm gave this old friend of mine an order to back Fraulein for a large amount, Hmit- ing him to a priew which any sane man should have known it would be impossible to obtain. With this big: order tie handed my friend the letter authorising the: scratching of the mare in the event of this tremen - dous order not being carried ont at what time he should think mipst op- portune. That Fraulein would have, won her backers money had she been per- mitted to run was amply demon- strated when two days later she can- tered: away with a Tace almost as im- portant. as the Cup; and again. when a few months Inter she won the Don- caster Cup with nearly nine stone on her back. CASE OF PATTERN. Concerning another highly sensa- tional case the. , disqualification of Pattern Mr, Dyke Wilkinson says he supposes he miust, consider himself the chief actor; for the disqualifica- tion of that horse; for all-the races he had ever Won, was brought about by himself. The case at tbat time, writ-+ the author, eaused a great sensa- tion. In the year 1885 Pattern ran torelve times, wimning six races. It was, I think, in the spring of that year when T-got fy first inkling of the fact that those responsible for entering him for all these races were getting an unfair advantage over all their opponen' to the extent of some pounds in every race he ran in; the fact being he was a. year older than they claimed him to be. NO. FRAUD INTENDED. Mr. Dyke Wilkinson does not be- lieve that anything like fraud was. intended. He is convineed that Mr. Young Graham, who bred the horse, and who he believes was all through his actual owner, would never have countenaneed such a thing, nor has he any. reason to suppose that Mr. Dougall; who managed him under a lease, had the slightest idea that he was wrongly describing him when he entered him as a five-year-old, while he was really a six-year-old. Up to the present time, he con- tinues, the whole of the facts of the case have never Been published. I do not intend to disclose*the exact means by which-I received-the first hint. of the fraud which was being perpetrated. I need not tell the biro- therhood of bookmakers or indeed any human being acquainted with the turf and its practices that the mo- ment I became possessed of the valu- con 4 he ON go was wat wh an to as as fo ter all is, I was on the point of Hacking her although; I must confess, I had been told not to do so until I . got definite orders when I received first intimbetion that she would prob- ably not be ners, round. and, I had reason to know. hi big stake: favorite, but, in this mare. i *As far as my nemory serves me, says the author, it was about: minutes before the time set for tl raee when a friend of Mr. Gomm famous letter, of Fraulein, and which ordered hi pool Cup.

Mr. Dyke Wilkinson recognized in December, 1685, that unless the coup could be brought off before the end of tient waiting would have been thrown away, for according to the pook, Pattern would be an aged horse, and thenceforth carry his cor rect-weight. He fervently hoped. , horse would run at Kempton Park, because, in all probability, that would be his last opportunity, and his opponents in the race were but a middling Jot. When the day arrived, proceeds the narrator, it seemed as though all the forces of nature were arrayed against me; and after,all I should be baulked of my Prey. It . inailed, had been a sharp frost during- the night. t No heing today. I said t6 myself, and perhaps not for many days, and so end my golden hopes in this dires tion.

Law-suits and trouble of other sorts ensued, and there: was any quantity of excitement about the case in racing circles.
