The morning call., 1891-03-16

these traces added together would
scarcely make a respectable race. The
distance of all Of them combined would be
one mile and three-eighths. Is that racing ?
Does anybody think that will improve the
breed of horses? Is it not about time that
this business at the Crescent City was
closing upP Why not make the races fifty
yardsp The winners would be harder to
pick and it would not make the horses
nearly so tired, and besides the winners of
bets would get their money quicker"
If the New Orleans and New Jersey au-
thorities would only do their duty to the
community and suppress with a strong
hand the CHASTITY robberies of winter racing
in their jurisdictions they would be public
benefactors, and the armies of daily swim
died Spectators would be saved from ruin.
But then to stop winter racing would not
suit the book-makers, who now appear to
control all racing and all legislation.
TREMoNT's TRIANGLE.
The victory of Tremont's daughter Tri-
angle in the George Washington stakes at
Guttenburg on February 22d has caused
many to make inquiries concerning the
identity of her owner, Mr.. Manning. Mr..
Manning is John A. Logan Jr. of Ohio, son
of the famous General Young Mr.. Logan
raced some years ago under the name of the
Ohio Stable, ShOtoyer being the bright par
| ticular star of the small string. He sold
Shotover at the close of the season of 1888,
and gave his entire attention to the breed
lug of trotters and hackneys at Youngs-
town, founding at the same time the nucleus
of a kennel of fox terriers that are now ex-
tensively known. Last fall, however. the
love for the thoroughbred returned and Mr..
Logan bought several yearlings, some by
fremont, and placed them in the stable of
Johnny Campbell, clever trainer and a
thorough racing man. Tringle is by Ire
mont out of Triangle, Champagne Charles
dam, and her owner had q snug sum on her
when she won the George Washington
stakes. She is built on the same lines
as the Black Locomotive, but is on the
small side and looks like a flly that would
not stand any great amount Of wear and
tear. Still, a well-known trainer at Morris
Park, where she received her preparation
for the race, says that Triangle was the
best two-year-old at Westminster.
THE QUESTION OF LICENSE.
Speaking of the training of jockeys and
trainers by the Board OF Control the Turf,
Field and Farm says: 1t is to be presumed
that at the outset the gates will be thrown
wide open, and that no trainer or jockey at
present in good standing will be refused a
license upon application. After that they
will have to look well to their regulations
1t Will not be necessary for any one to be
detected in fragrant act of dishonesty to
receive a sentence of expulsion, as hereto
fore. If the members of the board, in their
good judgment, deem the running OF any
stable of horses not above suspicion, they
can revoke or refuse to renew the license of
the trainer in charge or the jockey rid
ing. This is an arbitrary and auto
cratic power, but it is for the best
interests OF the turf. and exercised by the
board as at present composed will not it is
certain, be abused. No one will be hastily
deprived of his livelihood. The ak will de-
sceud slowly and silently, but nevertheless
surely. Once having fallen, the. victim
might as well try pastures new, for his voca-
ton will be gone. In addition to the de-
privation of the pursuit of his calling on the
tracks of the "big four" he will no doubt
be treated as an outlaw on other Eastern
courses. The Saratoga Association has
already announced its intention to be guided
by the decisions of the board, and there Is
little question that Elizabeth and Linden
will enforce them, while Judge Burke,
speaking for the North Hudson Jockey
Club, states that there will be no room at
Gutenberg for those not deemed worthy OF
q license at the metropolitan tracks.
Next year John A. Morris will have
numberlof English bred two-year-olds of the
most fashionable breeding to contest for
American honors for horses Of that age.
They will arrive here in July, and so Will be
we'll acclmated by the following season.
They are by such crack sires as Galopin,
Springfield and Charibert, out of American
mares sent to England by Mr. Morris.
UNLUCKY TENNY.
"Tenny never was a lucky horse" says
Donovan, his trainer. HE never ought to
have lost the Realization to Salvador. The
riding that day was honest, but il was bad.
In the Suburban, too, If we had McLaugh-
lin up | don't think Salvador would have
beaten him. They say he's cur; that's a
mistake. He is a heavy-headed horse, and
needs first-class jockey; so dc, most Of
Rayon d'Or's colts. They say his back
won't let him do weight. 1t is a bad back,
but l notice they pile the weight on him all
the same. L don't say that he's better
horse than Salvador or any other horse, put
l do say he's an unlucky horse"
BALDwIN's STABLE.
As to the plan of campaign of the Santa
Anita Stable, Trainer Williams says he
thinks it probable that the stable will begin
at Morris Park in June and start for Chi
cago about June 18th, to take part in the
Washington Park meeting. Then 1t will
probably 60 to Saratoga, but all the crack
events of the great Monmouth Park meet
ing, and be shipped down TO meet them
whenever they have chance, and the en-
tire lot may be sent 20 Monmouth toward the
end of the meeting, when such rich events
rs the Junior Champion, Omnibus, Select,
Carteret, etc, are run.
Fred Gebhard is extending his racing in
terests this year and has engaged Frank Nc
Cabe, formerly with the Dryers, as his
trainer. His string will embrace VOlun-
teer II, aged; Amulet, the speedy three
year-old FLY purchased at the Scott sale;
La Biche, black lilly, 2 years, by Rnsicru-
clan, out OF an imported mare, by The Duke;
Shohola, chestnut gelding, 3 years, by
Rutherford, out of Leveret, by Lever;
Blizzard, year,, by Eole. out of BelphGbe,
BY King Alfonzo, and Courant d Air, years,
by Eole, out of Mineral, by Spendhrlft
