These nags are now ia training,
some of them being reported in
good condition. Blaine, Conkling,
Bristow, Mcclellan, and Hendricks
have been on the turf 50 long that
no mention Of their qualities Is nee
essary TO post the knowing morse
man. 1t is rumored that the grey
gelding Tilden has become badly
spawned since he ran his last race
and may be Withdrawn. IL is also
said that his owners and rider will
DC ruled off the track because of
corrupt practices, which, if permit
ted, would ruin all fair racing. The
report that the gray horse Blaine
was badly injured b. sunstroke is
believed TO have been raised by its
owners. 1t is said that Conkling
only enters TO force the running for
Grant, but the latter is being fed so
high that we scarcely think he will
be in condition to make the run.
He carried off the stakes in 1872
and 1876 by walk over, 1t will be
recollected. The starters will prob
ably be Mr.. w. II. Barnum and Mr.
Zachariah Chandler. Joe Bradley
will not be the referee on this oc-
casion, as there are many com
plants Of his having sold the race
at the last meeting. There is some
talk of entering Wade Hampton,
but his owners think he is yet too
young on the turf, and fearing he
may become permanently injured
prefer waiting for the next meeting,
though it is possible some entries
may be made from that section with
the hope of securing second place.
