GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The withers Stakes. for three-year-
olds. promises to furnish a grand con-
test at Morris Park tomorrow. There
Is not a thr~ee-year-old of note that Is
not engaged. There Is a doubt, how
ever, concerning the appearance Of the
t~wo-year-olds the public is most anxious
to see. They are Domino and Senator
Grady. II reports are true both Of
these colts are in superb condition, but,
as neither of them Is at Morris Park,
they may be considered doubtful start
ers. The stake will be worth nearly
$1,000 to the winner but this is not
enough to tempt the owners of these
great colts to race them. Domino's legs
are not of the, best. and Mr.. keene may
ton at sheepshead Bay, ms did NJ. F:
Dwyer with the great Potomac. Matt
Byrnes probably has his eyes on the
same stake. At any rate. 1T Is likely
Of Navarro. Halton. St: julien, Horn
pipe, Ben Lomond. Rubicon, Dobbins,
Sir Excess n Aurelian. This lot ought
to furnish a rafting good contest. and
II will be a horse race from start to
finish.
Another good race Of the week will
be the New York Jockey Club Haae!cap,
and a quarter. Pickpocket, Don Aionzo,
Rice. Herald, Clifford, Redskin and
Lamplighter are eligible. II DR.. Rice;
equal to that Of the opening day should
be present.
It is an III wind that blows nobody
good; John Duffy's loss Of sscS on a
getting an order for b0,0O0
tickets from the heeced bookmaker.
~Cavanagh's tickets are made by a bank
note company and not easily duplicated.
Billy Kane, the gentleman who fur
nishes pool-rooms with names of jock
eys and other information, had a COM
mission to place on Paladin to win the
third race on Saturday. He bet the
Later III saw 10 to / against the colt,
and thinking that perhaps the man he
bet for might kick at not getting the
best price in the ring, he bet the amount
would have It, Paladin won. n Kane
in addition to having an easy conscience
was a good winner to boot.
Mike Dwyer car well complain Of
espd SICK IN fhe s TboSiSaFsSs av slide Noh na md,
event. He got away badly. and when
he did get up with the leaders he began
10 bore In on Roche to such an extent
that Sims had to stop riding and pull
the colt away. Ever then Stonenell was
only beaten a head for the place.
The Morrises are trying hard to ar
range a match OF some kind before
their meeting closes. Match races at
tract large crowds. and In these days
OF cash payments at the gates are
good business. They are Interesting,
too, from a spectacular point Of view.
Mr., Keene will accommodate Mr.. Nor
ris by matching Domino against Cor
rection (brother against sister,, at six
furlongs. Mr.. Morris prefers five fur
longs for his mare, and there the mat
ter hangs.
A despatch from st. Louis says: 1.-THE
developments on Saturdays ringer
case are complicating matters. Judge
J. j; Burke to-day received a teie-
graphic request from C. r. Jaynes. of
Chicago, that the supposed ringer
Greenwood be held until he can See
whether the horse. Is not Hyde Park,
stolen from him at Chicago last Fall
Jaynes will arrive here to-day. Another
telegram from a Washington racins
man intimates that Greenwood may be
the young L~uke-Caprice colt, which wor
a race at Washington last Fall. He wal

Whether Miller and Kennedy are thu
