Eurus, A. J. Cassatt's fast and some
what sensational racehOrse. let down in
n OF his front legs after winning the
handicap at Monmouth park last Thurs
day. and 1t was given out that he was
permanently broken down and would
be retired to the stud at CheSterbroOk.
Since then, however, Trainer Higgins
says that the horse is not permanently
br0ken down, and that while he may
not be fit to race for some time. there is
no reason to believe that the injury to
the son of Eolus will prove such as to
cause his retirement from the turf.
John Splan, so long a feature of the
big trotting circuits, will sail for Eng
land Oct. 10 with a small stable of trOt-
tiers and PAGERS. He has been given
charge of the speed department Of the
Barnum Il Bailey show, and will give
every day in London races on the track,
eight laps to the mile. He will labor
to show up the best points of the light
harness horse to the British public, and
we hope that he will meet with success.
Mr.. Bailey himself is a keen lover of
the trOtting horse, and he will heartily
second the efforts of Mr.. Splan.

possession of A. L. Cutler, of the I'M
perial hotel, for twenty-nine years. He
was driven out occasionally during last
year, and had he not met with all acci-

serves better luck than he has been
having in the circuit.
