coRRiaAN's WINNINGS.
Ed. Corrigan's stable of Western horses
won for him clear $50, 900 during the past
season. The horses will be wintered in St.
Louis. Corrigan chose st. Louis as a win
ter quarter for his stable for four purposes.
First, it has by far the best stabhng accom-
modations in the country; second, it is the
most convenient place to which he can run
from his home at Kansas City; third, he
opens the season next year at Memphis,
which is most easily reached from st. Louis;
fourth, feed is much cheaper than at Louis
vile, Lexington or Latonia. st. Louis Is
also more healthy for horses than any OF
those places.
FORTUNES OF JIM DOUGLASS.
Jim Douglass, the famous Californian,
who was bought by Charles Johnson, OF
Colorado, early the present season, and is
now looked upon as a Colorado horse, If
expected to arrive in Colorado in short
time. The past week he has been IN New
York and has been remarkably successlui.
The New York Mail and Express says:
.The men who left California in the spring
NJ horse
have made money faster than some sue
cessful Wall street speculators. The horse
has won about twenty races, and on every
occasion good betting could be had against
him. He has been shrewdly managed ana
is good for another campaign next year.
CoRRIaAN's LOSS.
What Mr.. Corrigan will do for a Jockey
next wear ia q question much discussed
among horsemen. He has the finest stable
in the West, ii not i'll the country. Much
OF his success, however. came through MS
Jockey. Isaac Murphy, the colored Archer
Of the West. Lucky Baldwin has secured
the knight of the Pigskin at q princely sal
ary, and Corrigan will have hard work TO
| find g. rider nearly as good as Murphy.
Lucky Baldwin has also arranged lot new
trainer, and with his fine stable OF horses
he will capture many OF the rich stakes next
Year. He was unfortunate in losing Freda
and Fallen Leaf, the latter perhaps the best
filly ever seen upon the turf. In Volante'
however. Mr.. Baldwin has grand cup
horse. He will also have several worthy
three-year-olds next season, and ne Will
certainly be seen upon our Eastern courses
in an effort to snatch prizes from the Lorll'
lards and the Dryers. Baldwln,s stable
earned quarter of q million OF dollars last
| season.
