Gossip About Horses, Horsemen,
and Their Doings.

and Their DOingS.
A fact that has caused considerable
comment in England is that the death
of Hermit should have been followed at
so brief an interval by that of one of
his speediest sous and best representa-
tives at the stud, says the London Live
Stock journal. This is Trappist,
horse by Hermit, out of Bunch, which
won great many races when In train
ing, though they were all over short
courses, while since he has been at the
stud he has got some capital stock, his
nus, which had few SuperiOrS when in
good form, and L'Abesse de Jouarre,
which won the Oaks last year for Lord
Randolph Churchill. Trappist was pur-
chased few years ago by the Duke of
Hamilton and stood at the EaSton stud.
With Trappist dead, st. Blaise in Amer
lea, Tristan and Retreat in France,
there are very few of Hermit's best
male progeny left to breed from.
Critical opinion is in doubt as to
which is the better holse, Tenny OF Sal
vator. The match was won by Salvador
by the shortest of heads, but had Tenny
been handled little differently the
verdict might have been the other way.
Murphy made the most of his OppOrtu-
mites with Salvador. He took nothing
for granted, threw nothing away, and
rode with GOODNESS and cOnsummate
skill. If Garrison had not surrendered
his position next the rail, Tenny would
have had little chance to sulk when
passing his stable. and there would
have been no such desperate riding to
close a gap. When the narrow space of
hoo fac% xxrN in, In
understanding time OF 2:05, we can
afford to shout for conquered and con-
Querer.
Some trainers are fearfully wrong in
the estimate of the condition of the
horses in their charge. The owner is
advised that his entry is ripe for race,
and he backs him in a spirit of conf
dence. The contest takes place, and
the horse is never really in it. Then
the owner returns to the city with di-
minished faith in the wisdom of human
prediction. Some horses run best when
they are unbacked, They seem to take
delight in upsetting calculations. But
what would racing be without the glor-
ious element of uncertainty?
Hickok and Marvin are now at De-
troit with their strings, and Doble will
soon join them there. Sunol will not
start to lower record at Detroit, Meth
er will she be entered in race. The
only race talked of for her is with Ak
tell. The suggestion that she will start
more than once against the fOur-year-
old stallion does not come from Marvin.
One decisive victory will settle the SUI
premacY.
Mr.. KemmisS, the great English sports
man in BuenOs AyreS, has won every two
year-old race he has sta rJed for in that
country this year. The sons and daugh-
tiers of Phoenix appear to be invincible,

at Kingsclerc. He states that the young
produce of Whipper In are very beauti-
full.
Garrison, the noted jockey, has signed
salary of $4,000. The Snapper" who

as the idol of the race-going public.
