THE SPORTING WORLD.
HOT WORK DONE YESTERDAY BY
CRACKS AT MONTGOMERY PARK.
Old Endurer Makes a Mile in l:44 3D.
Insolenoe and Cassius Also Distin-
guish Themselves--A Fast Half Mile

There was hot work at the race track
yesterday and plenty OF it. All the horses
were out for the best that is in them, and
some of them made the dust fly. Johnnie
Campbell had out Brown Princess, Casta-
way III. and Cassius. They ran a mile,
Cassius showing the best OF the trio, in
l:45, Castaway two lengths in the rear,
and the Brown Princess twice that dis
lance. Mr.. Campbell thinks that the
Brown Princess will win the Tennessee
Club stakes. Mr.. Ed Corrigan disagrees
with him and has backed his own entry,
Spectator, who has not done any work yet
TO justify confidence in him as q stake
winner. Mr.. Henry Avis has pinned his
faith TO his own colt, lie Premier. Under
the circumstances it is somewhat difficult
for outsiders to form an opinion in view OF
the fact that Bob Forsythe and other
good ones are engaged. Much allowance
must be made for the personal vanity of
trainers and their inability to detect merit
in horses other than their own. Another
fact not 10 be overlooked is that there are
no flies on j. 5. Campbell, and that he
does not often make mistakes about the
performing ability OF race-horses. This
has been his lucky year. When he started
Caslaway III. in the Pickwick Club stakes,
and put s., 800 on him at 2 10 l., people
thought he was burning up his money,
but he wasn't. He landed %, 600 on that
race, and has animals in his stable that
can leave Castaway as II he were tied.
Mr.. Campbell will be remembered by Mem.
phis people as the trainer and half owner
OF the Chicago Stable, and the Chicago
Stable last year won as II liked. This year
Mr.. Campbell owns the Beverwyck Sta
bic, and promises 10 duplicate the success
OF the Chicago Stable last year. All the
tanc, there are lots OF good Judges Of
horseilesh in Memphis who do not believe
that the Brown Princess has any ''cinch"
on the Tennessee Club stakes.
Old Endurcr who won four out OF six
starts last year never looked Ms fit rs he is
now. He made his little mile yesterday
lill, the best work OF tho day.
q. w. Doherty and tho Waldo stable
have followed Mr., Widencr's example and
are working their horses by candle light.
