TURF TOPICS.
Great Success Of the Morris Stable
at Brooklyn.
Peculiar Method Of the Dryer Brothers to
Keep Race-Goers at the Track-Death
of Hidalgo.

the racing 1t was characterized by the most
unheard of and unwarrantable proceedings
on the part of the Dwyer Brothers, who,
apparently, were the sole dictat1rS and
managers OF the track. Because they we're
at war with the New York pOOl-r0omS they
refused to allow any one who entered the
track TO leave it after the races commenced
IN order to pr event any information OF the
racing being sent to the pOol-rooms.
CLUBBED THEM BACK.
To enforce this determination they al
lowed no telegraph wires to be run into the
track and had regiment Of heavily armed
private detectives stationed at the exits and
along the fences to club back any one who
tried to leave the course Those who tried
TO force their way out were brutally ham
died by the DwYer DICTIONARIES. No excuses
were accepted and not even the most promi-
nent of the New YOrk public were allowed
to leave.
This is elevatng the turf with VEN
geance. Innumerable suits for damages
will, no doubt, be commenced against the
Dryers Immediately and no faiT-mipded
jury will fail TO award the injured visitors
the tull amounts sued for.
THE MORRIS GREAT SUCCESS.
The racing was notable for the great sue
cess OF the favorites and the wonderful
showing made by the J. A. ana A. Ii. Nor
ris stable. Nearly all the two-year-Old stake
events were won by them and, just as fire.
quently as not, they ran first and second.
In the thirteen days racing they won twenty
events, and their stake winnings alone fig
ured up over 5000 They brought out the
best tw0year-Old colt and filly that has as
yet started, in ST. Florian and Georgia. The
former won four stakes, including the great
American, valued at $4,000
TWO CRACK COLTS.
St. FlOrian is by st. Blaise out Of Ecu
Follet, by KDgtsher. He is one OF the
best bred horses on earth, his fourth dam
being Qui Nive, own sister to Vedette, who
was sire of the Galopin. GalOpin was the
sire Of Donovan and ST. Simon King
fisher is the only thing American ~ the
pedigree of ST. FlOran, and he was by Lex
iugt0n, from the English mare Ethan Lass
by Kingston, the best sou Of Venlson.
Barring accidents, he should hold most OF
the twO-year-old stakes of the year at his
mercy. The colt was bred by the late Au-
gust Is elmOnt, and was purchased by his
present owners at the executors sale last
January at very reasonable figure.
Georgia is by Hlmyar- DlXietta, and IS one
of the fastest bits of hOrSetssh ever trained.
She won IN very fast time, and IS believed
to be faster than even the great fremont
ever was.

DEATH OF HIDALGo.
j. b. Haggn sustained severe loss last
Thursday by the death Of that we'll kiiuwn
and tried racer, HidalgO, who broke hrs leg
so badly that he had 10 be destroyed. The
horse was just coming into prominence. as
sire, and was considered one Of the most
valuable stations at the ranch.
CALIFORNIAN COURTESY.
At Chicago the California stables are
meeting with very bad luck, to say the
least. On Saturday last the following local
horses were defeated: Nero, Tycoon, Duke
of Mlpitas, and also the flying Geraldine.
The Undine stable had again to play sec
Ond fiddle with Nero to another Corrigan
fiier. This time it was Ethel that put Nero's
light out. Ii may be possible that Mr. Cor
rigan feels hurt If he does not win the.best
stakes at his own track with his own hGrses,
and TO ayiOd causing him any unpleasant
feelings the native courtesy If the CalifOr-
mia QuadrupedS makes them keep in, the
back ground. TO say the least the running
Of the California horses at Chicago is pc
culiary distressing to those who saw them
race here.
BIG MONEY TO RACE FOR.
To-day the New York Jockey Club 2oal-
mences twO-weeks' meeting at Morris Park
and adds the large sum OF S1O7 600 to the diff
ferent events. Not less than $1,000 is added

sides the $3.50 entrance. Some new colts Will
compete that have not yet faced the starter.
The MorriseS have a lot Of entries in il. but
st. FIorian is not among the number. they
will probably rely on Geo gia, Splna10ng
and Recess to try and add to the success of
the red Jacket. f. G. McLewee's tlIy York
Vile Belle, very well-bred one by N ser
out of Thorn, may be factor in the fght.

News comments on as follows:

The working out OF this Is shown at Ascot last
year, ana taking first fav0rtes Us a basis for the
system, there would have been gam Of $50 Ga.
Backing first fav0rltes there for 60 each would
have won 949 Us. Several other examples are
shown; one at the Newmarket July, when by APP
plying the system TO second favorites E25u les
would have been won AL one time the backer
would have had eG4 on race, and If TWO or
three more second favorites had gone down his
losses would have been growing large; but, Of

another system is "when only Two horses start,
