SOME HORSE NOTES.

teentn with liz pounds up, alter O etlff
fight with Banquet and Herald, with
Bitten beaten off. The latter horse only
carried 80 pounds and covered the mile
in 40, but the Doctor came on and won
by length in :484. Clifford was
handicapped at the came weight as Rice,
but was scratched. Perhaps it was juet
as well, for the con of Onondaga is in
rare fettle just now and it is very doubt
full if any horse in America can beat him
at any distance above mile.

AS yet no great 2-year.old has shown
up at the four eastern tracks. Last year
Domino was entrenched as a stroug fav-
orite long before the close OF the Brook
Ign meeting; and the touts united in the
opinion that he was the best 2.year-old
ever seen in America, en- opinion that
was fully borne out by the subsequent
running all through the season. He won
no more races than did fremont at the
same age, but he pulled down nearly
three times as much money in purses
and stakes. Whether Domino will con-
firm his last years running by winning
the Belmont, the Withers or any of the
big eastern stakes, is vet to be seen.

The English kilograms report dead
heat fer the Manchester cup on Friday
last. between Shamortha and Red En-
sign, the Prince of Shamortha taking the
golden trophy, and the $1,000 eweepstake
money going to Sir r. Jardine, owner
of Red Ensign. 1t is curious fact that
nearly all the dead heats in England
occur in their long races. Here it ia
nearly always between the short horses.
In the Derby of 1923 a dead heat oe-
Cured between Cadland and The
Colonel. the former winning the run off,
but The Colonel beat him cleverly in
the st. Leger, later on. In the st.
Leger OF 1889 came dead heat between
Charles XII. and Euclid, the former
winning the run off. In 1850 came the
dead heat between Voltigeur and Russ
borough, in the same race, but the
stakes were divided by allowing
"Volty" to walk over as the winner
In 1857 in the Cesafew!tch, race of
two and three-q uarters miles, came
dead heat between three horaes--El
Hskins, Queen Bess and Prioress-the
latter, an American mare, owned by
Richard Ten Brock, who died at San
Mateo July 4, 1892. In the run off
Prioress won with ease, having been
trained to heats in America. In the
derby OF 1884 came the latest dead heat
OF any importance, between ST.. Gstien
and Harvester. when the stakes were
divided. St. Getien was sold for fancy
price to go to Germany, and 10 the sire
OF the fsmous 2 year-old Meddler, now
owned by w. Fl. Forbes of Boston.
Harvester seems to have dropped into
utter ineiguifcauce

The horse Herald, now running at the
east, must not be COMPOUNDED with
brown 5-year-old of the same name,
owned by Charles Herr of Bakersfield
The eastern horse is a distance goer
while the Kern county horse is O sprin-
ter. He is BY Kyrle DAILY out of Oinder-
ella. Kyrle Daily was horse of great
breeding but Kosciusko is the only one
of his get that is above mediocrity.

The Santa Anita bred horse Santiago,
who also pulled" in the derby at Chi
cago four years ago and subsequently
won both the Drexel and Sheridan
stakes, won race at Louisville the
other day. He is full brother to that
good but rnlucky mare Santa Ana and
is about the last son OF Grinstead, now
on the turf.
The wel.known jockey Andrew Good
ale, was killed at Louisville on Friday
while riding Judge Payne. The colt
stumbled and threw his rider, and be-
fore Goodale could regain his feet along
came horse called Virden. at full
speed, and struck the uulucky Goodale
in the head, fracturing his skull and
killing him instantly. Goodale was
only second-class rider in point of
ekill, but bore frst-ciass reputation
for honesty and sobriety.

Betting still continues on the Chicago
derby, which is not to be run until the
last of next month. All the books are
full on Domino. Senator Grady and
Hornpipe, probably the best three colts
of the derby age. Lucky Dog, owned
by S. &. Reed OF Pasadena, Ia now at IL
to l, rhe shortest-priced horse of any on
whom any business is being done. The
Kentucky derby winner Chant is in the
race, but does not seem to have sd
vanced any ON the strength of his Louis.
vile victory. Hyden Abal, the colt
that won the rich worlds fair stakes OF
last year, seems to have gone wholly
amiss and cannot be counted upon as q
derby factor.
A large consignment OF fine yearling 20
left the Rancho del Paso, near Sacra-
mento, last Sunday night, in charge OF
John Msokey, who has been superin-
tendent of that farm ever since 1t first
started up. There are over 100 head, of
which those by Salvstor-Maxim, Sir
Modred and Darebin-aIe the moot val
liable; and my prediction is that their
average prices will be in the order
above named. The Maxims will pro ba
bly, bring close to $1,000 per head, which
is big figure for the get of an untrisd
stallion.
There is likely to be trouble over the
way that the Jockey club recently or
ganized at New York, to take the place
of the board of control, is arrogating
power to itself. The men who have
organized it are worth a good deal of
money, and it's about all they are
worth. 1t would be hard to imagine
decisions less warranted by rule or prece-
dent than some OF those rendered by
these same men at Coney Island end
Long Branch in the past 10 years. 1t
will take good deal wiser heads than
theirs to run it before the movement
can DO made national one.
