Some Fast Moves Made Yesterday.

THE APPEAL reporter, by invitation OF
Mr.. A. G. Newsum, yesterday visited
Montgomery Park by daylight and
saw the flyers al work. Judged by
the bill OF fare provided by the cook OF the
Newsum Stable, horsemen live high,
fact all the more appreciated Yesterday as
the crisp morning air gave keen edge to
the appetite. The park looked beautiful
in its jacket OF green, with yellow border
furnished by the track, and tho white
trimming OF the fence rails. The first
dummy out from Memphis was crowded
with visitors, among them two young Ia
dies, who enjoyed the sight Of the horses
from the clubhouse yoranda, and seemed
well pleased with the morning picnic.
Tho Newsum string embraces n number
Of finely bred animals, all looking in fine
fettle. Mamie Fonso. a very fast FLY, is
doing handsomely, but will hardly start at
this meeting. The two year old division,
twelve in number, arc a promising lot
They include Spring Dance, Morse, Burt,
Mount Livingston, Miss Bell and Nellie NJ,
all by famous sires. Tho get Of Glcnolg,
Geo. King, Prince Charley, Barnes, Hin
doc, Springbok and Audrain are all repre-
sen,ed In this stable, and make q formid-
able lot
All OF the stables seemed TO be out for
work yesterday, and from O'Clock to II
o'clock there was never ten minutes but
what pair OF fleet ones might not be seen
tennng down the track at clipping pace
with hall a dozen watches checking of
each eighth OF a mile. Tho best work OF
the day was done by Comedy, who was
sent milo in las. after losing q second in
the last quarter sulking Dick Wright also
made the iouts stare by going n mile in
las with 1913 pounds up. This horse is in
the Peabody Hotel handicap, and hardly
good enough, perhaps, 10 contest with
Irish Pat, Bankrupt, Quotation, Endurcr,
Egmont and Jacobin, but there Is no rea-
son in the world why he should not pull
down n good purse before the meeting Is
over. should he do NO the grand stand
will 20 wild with delight out OF respect
10 the associations entwined with that
honorcd name.
The iaslest work Of the season was done
by McGuigan's bay FLY Indian Princess,
n half mile m fifty aud hall seconds,
thrce-eighths OF Il Il thirty-seycn seconds
After this performance Mr.. Michigan
walked across tho field with the air OF a
conquoror, a. well he might, for II was a
great feather in his cap.
Those who are sweet on Rimlni In the
Tennessee Club stakes and Spokane In the
Kentucky Derby would have sourcd on
their pets had they been out at the track
yesterday. The pair went mile together
with light weight up, doing pretty much
all they knew how. and the best they
could show was I. 10 and the lilly was only
too glad 10 quit
