GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

J. 3. Collins. the owner OF Addie, whose
entry the Brighton Beach Stewards de-
cided on Wednesday not to accept in the
future because her owner persisted In
sending her to the post sore and unfit
to run, declares that he has been most
unjustly dealt with. Before the races
yesterday Mr.. Collins. in company with
= well-known bookmaker, walked into
the press stand at Brighton. and in the
tone OF much-injured and very indig-
nant person announced that Addie was
never sore in her life. and to prove that
this statement was correct he proposed
to give the mare trial Immediately
after the frst race. He vouchsafed the
Information that Addie never was an
easy-actioncd mare. and always moved
with apparent soreness. True enough.
Immediately after the first race Addie
did work six furlongs in company with
another horse. In the trial she moved
free and easy, and seemed to have sud
denly recovered the speed that the Stew
ards and public could not discover on
Wednesday. This act OF the little play
couldn't the mare nave been trotted out
the same day or even the day following.
and demonstrated that she never saw
the day that she was sore" Adde'S
work yesterday was certainly first class,
but wonders can be work ed in forty-eight
hours. Had she been as good on. Wednes-
day as she was yesterday probably the
public would not have burned up their
good money.
