''Black and Blue" writes in an interest
ing way as follows of Green Morris, Corri-
gan and Lucky Baldwin, the three great
winners in the running races on the Sara
toga and other tracks:
1.-THE Saratoga races are but two DAYS
old, and Green Morris has already won
three races, including the TraverS stakes.
His success on the turf has been rarely sur
passed by any other owner of race horses.
Morris is a lucky genius. He can take an
old cripple and wind him up until he is fit
to beat field of crackers. How he does it
is mystery. When Gov. Oden Bowie got
RID of Compensation the old gelding had
seen his best days, everybody thought, and
would not be fit to run again on the turf.
Green Morris put Compensation in his sta
bic, used his occult power with great sue
cess. and Ieiuvenated the old horse. Yes
terday he ran at Saratoga and defeated
Gold Bar and Bell Pate, and landed snug
sum of money for his owner. Morris had
the same success with Fellowplay and other
horses. His stable just at present is very
strong, particularly in three-year-Old His
horse flesh is valued at $3.50, 200. and has
paid dividend of 20 per cent. already this
season. Unless matters go wrong with the
stable it will earn between $50, 900 and
of what the owner may win by backing his
horses.
But fortunate as Mr.. Green Morris has
been on the turf, his success has not
equaled that of Mr.. COrrigan, who is now
known as the ''Lorilllard of the West"
His peerless four-year-Old-filly MOdesty,
has won a fortune for him, and he is the
lucky owner of Freeland, Pearl Jennings,
Swiney, W. r. Woodland, Irish Pat, Ida
Hope, Lizzie Dwyer and Banana, each of
whom can be depended upon to win from
SIS. 900 to SIS, 600 year for AIr. COTrigan.
In addition to this famous string of racers,
the Lorilard of the West has number of
good two-year-Olds and his entire stable
will win 500, 900 for him before the year is
over. Mr.. COrrigan is an excitable man.
He has quareled with every jockey club in
the country and with most of the owners.
When he gets angry he knocks his man
down and the next moment browns his an
ger in champagne. Mr.. Corrigan has been
accused of wrOng-doing on a race course
more than once. but nobody has ever shown
his guilt, and he has always indicated
himself from the charges.
Another of the great Western nabobs is
Lucky Baldwin, the California millionaire.
He is an old man with young wife. Mrs.
BALDWIN is about 20, and knows more
about the Santa Anita stable than her hus-
band. She can enumerate all the horses,
and grows enthusiastic when speaking of
them. She likes to talk to newspaper men,
and generally answers all the questions put
to her husband. Mr.. Baldwin has been
very fortunate with his stable, and one of
his horses, the three-year-old Volante, has
won $50, 900 already this year. At the
Chicago meeting Mr.. Baldwin won $50, 900
on one Ieee, when Grismer defeated a big
held after running five heats. The pet of
the stable Is Lucky B. He is a good bread
winner and game little horse. Fallen
Leaf, the daughter of the great Mollie Nc
earthly, has permanently broken down.
rms was great disappointment to Mr..
Baldwin, who believed Fallen Leaf to be
the best FLY ever seen upon the American
turf. The Santa Anita stable is exception
ally strong in two and three-year-Olds and
viii capture many of the rich stakes before
the snow-birds come along.
