TURF NOTES.

public trainers have their hands full
in preparing horses for the coming
spring campaign. George Cadwallader
has horses belonging to r. III. Owens,
j. A. Grinstead, Rodes & Carr and
Phil Cocks, of Mississippi. Among
Cadwallader's lot is Leveller, who for
some time has been highly thought of
for the Louisville Cup, as little as 5 to
| have been accepted against him.
After his gallop this morning his
chances do not look quite so rosy, 1t
will be remembered that he was sent
to Baltimore last fall to represent
Kentucky in the Dixie, but throwing
a curb few days before the meeting
he was an enforced absentee.
Cadwallader brought him home,
and in due time the curb, under
proper treatment, disappeared. During
the winter the colt had another set |
back by falling badly during one of
his rearing fits, and was somewhat
bruised, but quickly recovered. This
morning, however, he pulled up lame
in his right hind leg-the same in
which he threw the curb-after a good
breezing gallop. Judged by the ex-
preston on Cadwallader's face, it was
something that George did not expect
and certainly what he did not want.
Of course the lameness may be only
temporary, but with the death Of
Mahlstick, who was highly thought of
for the Louisville Cup, the breaking
down of Himyar, a favorite for
the same event, and now for
Leveller to give signs of going
amiss, hackers of favorites for
the Louisville Cup may we'll be
scared. Should Leveller get any
worse it is safe to say that the
admirers of Dave More, Glenmore,
Incommode, Janet, Belle of Nelson
and Day Star will all see shorter prices
than Watts & Co., of Louisville, are
now offering. OF the others in Cad.
walladers stable several are very
highly thought Of There are Kinkora,
by Waverly, who won Colt Stakes last
May; McGrathiana, by Tom Bowling,
winner of the Bluegrass Stake at
Louisville; Strathmore, Streattam,
Warbler, Waterford, Blue Lodge, Sly
Dance, Kinkead and two unnamed
two-year-olds by Waverly. OF those
named Kinkead is the most highly
thought of.
w. B, Scully, another public train
er, has Tom Sawyer and Solicitor,
both four year-olds, that promise WELL
Judged by what they did as three
year-olds. He has also very Dromis-
ing filly Lilly r., the winner of the
Filly Stakes here last fall, which,
with Fortuna, Stilton, Bowling Green,
Mamie R. and Wave 0Light, keep
him busy.
OF the others at the track Robbins
has Prophet and Ironclad, Forrest has
Glendalla, Ada Glenn and an un-
named two-year-old flly by Tom
Bowling out of Gatina. Speigle has
Fairy Queen, Newtown, Mill Boy,
Macedonicus and Roquefort. Tice
Hutsell has Last Chance, Alice
Bruce, 0pdebeck, Fonso and Ersilla.
Collision has Hamerfast and an un-
trained two-year-old by Fellowcraft
out of Bonnie Scotland mare.
OF the old-time owners who have
big stables in the hands of responsible
trainers may be mentioned Price Nc
Grath, who has got Uncle Ansel back
from New York. McGrath is getting
old, but if Audax or any of the young
Tom Rowlings win big stake East
during the coming season it will help
Nc" wonderfully, not in a financial
way, however, for he is so wrapt up in
the success of Tom Bowling as sire
that for one of his get to win a big
stake would do him more good than
his trip to the Hot Springs. 1t is un-
derstoOd that the stable now consists
of Chesapeake, Axiom, Audax, Yer
dict, WissahickOn, Mary Ann, Dupli-
cate, Howard, Obadiah, 0bservanda,
Lucy George, Eight Wins, On Dit,
Hyacinth, Acquittal and Glidalia
| The last named, however, is the pro
perty of Billy Conner, the well-known
starter in the East, who has just
originated the Vestal stakes at Balti-
more. 1t Is said that Billy is decidedly
sweet on the daughter of Waltz, and
expects that she will win the Vestal
and other flly stakes in 1880.
Another well known owner is Frank
Harper, the present possessor Of Long
fellow, who has promising stable, the
get of that famous horse, among
which are Wildfellow, Sallie NJ, jill
son johnson, Bonnie nglis, Black
Hills, Irish King, King Dutchman and
Shaker But as to name all the horses
at work would take up a column or
two, it may be briefly said that
Hunt Reynolds, Jim Williams, Major
Thomas, Bowen & Co., Jim Murphy,
Keen Richards, Abe Buford and Dan
Swigert have all good and promising
strings " at work, All cannot be
winners, of course, and some must feel
the bitterness of Disappointment be-
fore the season is over.
