Gossip About Horses, Horsemen
And Their DOings.

The sense of smell is strongly de-
fined in horse, and 1t depends more
on this sense than on that of sight. A
horse will leave musty hay in bin un-
touched, no matter how hungry. He
will not drink of water Objectionable to
his questioning sniff, nor from bucket
which some other odor makes offensive,
no matter how thirsty. His intelligent
nostrils will widen, quiver and query
over the daintiest bit offered by the fair
est of hands. A mare is never satisfied
by either sight or whinny that foal is
really her own until she has certified
that fact by means of her nose. Blind
horses as a rule will gallop wildly about
pasture without striking the surround
ing fence. The sense of smell informs
them OF its proximity. Others will,
when loosened from the stable,
opening to their accustomed feeding
ground, and when desiring to return
after hours of ceaseless wandering will
distinguish the one outlet and patiently
await its opening. The odor of that
particular part of the fence is their
guide to it. The horse in browsing, or
while gathering herbage with its lip, is
guided in its choice of proper food en-
tirely bv its nostrils. Blind horses do
not make mistakes in their diet.

The stable Of j. A. & A. 81. Morris
won one-quarter of all the money con-
tested for at the recent Brooklyn meet
ing, their total winnings being $500
out of S172,312 paid out to winners. Of
this amount their two-year-old colt Rus
sell won sci, ,9O5; Chatham, $3.50; Cor
rection, S6.255; Territier, 1886; Am
bulance, 1885; their other starters
smaller amounts. OF the other stables,
Walbaum won Sl5.200; the Beverwyck
stable Gncluding Castaway'S Suburban.,
S9, 1922. Mir. Withers won S9.3S0; Hough
Bros, S8, 105; Belmont, SS,070; Green
Morris, $685.; Father Bill DAILY, s6,62O;
Dwyer Bros, S5,515; w. l.. Scott, S., 40;
Lakeland Gncludlng EXile), 1886.
Probably the heaviest betting man on
the American turf at present, outside
NJ. F. Dwyer, is Pierre Loriilard, who
thinks nothing of pumping $4,000 on
one of his horses that he thinks has a
good chance of victory. He hit the ring
very heavily Friday last when his tilly
Paroline won, but some OF it went back
again Saturday on Pagan in the Fern
cliff handicap. Mr.. Dwyer turned the
bookmakers over Saturday when Eon
beat Prince Royal, Mr.. Belmont's horse
evidently being short of the work neces
sary to meet so good colt as Eon in
bruising race.
1t is pleasant duty to report that
Electioneer is considered on the road to
recovery. 1t seems that last year he
was troubled with sciatic rheumatism,
and that the old complaint returned in
1890, leaving him in a very precarious
condition. He was IN danger for several
days and was fed on milk and eggs,
which was digested with the aid of
pepsin. He is now taking strong food,
and all that can be seen of his recent
