Gossip About Horses, Horsemen
and Their Doings.

The faithful horse, regarded as an in
VeStmeut, is one of the most precariOus
animals on earth. Some time ago New
Zealand sport bought all expensive
yearling, out of Florence Mccarthy,
and just as he began to congratulate
himself Oh the prospective value of the
animal his purchase fell over precipiee
and broke its neck. Then he. bought
the next yearlIng out of the same mare,
and this costly animal turned a summer
Sauit IN the paddock and broke its back.
After this the speculatoI grew tired,
and concluded that the particular fam
lly or horses in question was too much
given 10 cailSthenicS to be profitable, so
he looked on while his particular enemy
purchased the next colt which came into
the market, and smiled cynical smile
as he thought of the consequences.
Only the third animal did not break it's
neck, and last season it started in eleven
races and won them all, and now every
time he sees it the maddened speculator
opens his mouth wide and lets his i'm
preSSOnS explode.
new law in Indiana pertains to the
service fee OF stations, and requires
registry OF stock horses with the clerks
OF circuit courts. One of the require
ments OF the law is as follows: THAT
copy of such license embracing such
sworn statements and pedigree, with
the fee the owner proposes to charge
FOR service, shall be posted by the owner
OF such sire in two or more conspicuous
places in the vicinity of the place where
the sire is kept for service, and should
any part OF said sworn statement be to
the knowledge of the owner Of such sire
false in any particular. the owner shall
not be entitled to collect any fee for
%tD col oe
statement, or any part thereof, may be
pleaded i'll the bar to any contract or ac-
count for services of such sire"
The Duke of Portland thinks that he
owes something to his great luck on the
turf. and is building some almshouses
at his chief estate, Welbeck, to COM
memorate the victories of his racers:
AN Inscription on the principal building
reads: "FheSe houses were erected by
the sixth Duke OF Portland, at the re.
quest of his wife, for the benefit of the
poor. and to commemorate the successes
of his race horses Ayrshire 1.-Two Thou
sand Guineas aud Derby, Donovan
(Derby and st. Leger), Memoir (Oaks
and st. Leger}, Senolina and others.''

Dorado that beat Donovan in the Prince
sof Wales stakes and ran third to Dono-
van and Miguel i'll last years Derby was

Charles Marvin are making careful

Every owner, trainer, jockey and race
.goer should object to any action that
may bc taken by track officials except
when provided by the rules of racing.
By such move the clubs may find it to
their interest to adopt new set of rules,
so that outside parties may be able to act
intelligently in turf matters.
w. Lakeland recently purchased
from William DAILY two-year-old colt
and named him Blackmaiier. Those
who run horses in selling races i'm the
East will easily detect his reason for the
selection of the rather peculiar name.
Green Morris, lucky IN other respects,
has been unfortunate in the matter of
jockeys this season. He lost number
of races earlier in the season through
the inefficiency of Narvice, and is now
repeating the experience with Mona
han.

at the Lexington track McCielland
