Edward Corrigan was the most success
ful OF the owners of racing stables in 1894
He had AZ horses in training, started
horses in 424 races, of which he won 125
total winngs were but $l05, 7O1, however.
as most OF his winnings we're in purse
races, handicaps and selling events OF no
great value
Small fortunes have been won and lost
at the Bay District track in the past three
weeks. The betting has been astonish-
ingly big in several races. Riley Grammar,
the celebrated Kentucky plunger who
wagered fortune on the Henry OF Ma
varre- Domino race last year, has had
run of bad luck and, according to current
report, has lost $25, 900 since his return to
| California last month. Grammar is reck-
less better, and his efforts to get back
his losses on the outside have been most
unsuccessful. Grammar came to California
| last season and cleaned up $52 600 in less
than two months. He took his money
east and subsequently came back to have
| another shy at the game. This time he won
| $4,000 more, which made Grannan's s win
| ming total up $50, 600. The meeting now
! in progress at the Bay District track has
| been anything but a lucky one for Gran
nan, who is probably $4,000 behind, all
| told. He lost both times he went on the
block. Grammar is quite character. A
| lew years ago Grammar was working IN
| New Orleans hotel for $40 a month. and
now, although only about q years old, he
Will wager as much money on race as
the richest millionaire in the land.
Lilly Wright. by California, bas dropped
colt foal by Red :lron. It is, therefore,
a full brother of the great Diggs, for whom
$40, 600 was refused last fall.
Cy Mulkey mas thirty horses in training
! for A. b. Spreckes at the Sacramento
! track. Visitors from the Capital City
report that Cadmus and Piauante are

Messrs. Gideon Il DAILY have sustained
| a severe loss at their IIolmdel farm
| through an accident to the promising
| two year-old colt by Salvador, dam Miss
Woodford. bought at the Rancho del Paso
sale last spring and for whom $1,000 was
paid. The colt broke a leg. and it was at
| first believed he would have to be de-
stroyed. DR.. Farley, who was summoned
| from New York. thought there was
chance to save the youngster He was
| put in sings. The leg is now Knitting
well, and there is some hope that he may
recover and be able to race. The accident,
however, is most unfortunate, for the colt
q
| for two-ye9r-old honors.
Alb Steiner, the well-known trainer
| for Burns & Waterhouse. arrived from
Sacramento last week. He reports the
arrival at the ranch Of three aristocrati-
cally bred fillies. The Australian mare
La 'Paoma has flly by Midlothian.
Picnic has filly foal by Morello. the
greatest race horse OF his year, and Decoy
| Duck also has a filly foa by Brutus.
Burns & Waterhouse have fourteen two
year-olds at the Sacramento track. They
are all grandly bred, but are backward
and will not be ready to race for month
or more. In the string is Il full brother
| to Cadmus. He is growthy fellow and
little can be expected of him until late in
| the year. The pet of the stable is tilly
| by Flambeau, dam Fairy Rose. This
youngster is consequently half sister to
world at Palo Alto caused so much ex-
citement in the turf world week or two
since. Alb Steiner is also training the only
Racine two year-old colt in America. and,
as his dam is Flirt, the dam of Flam-
beau he should certainly develop into a
cracker jack if breeding counts for any
| thing.
A shrewd turf man has rated the fillies
as he thinks they will prove their merit
this season as follows: The Butterflies,
Gutta Percha, Urania, Anisette, Califor-
mia, Sabilla and Applause. The pedi-
| gree Oh AdTDlIe, Jrdceu DdCk W Tile earliest
| records of the stud book, has no fewer
than 2000 names in it, That of another
famous Australian horse Nordenfeldt
| contains the names of 1853 horses, and ex-
tends back to Darley Arabian.
Several big bets have been recorded in
the future books of O'Neill, Eckers & Co.
on the Chicago and National Derbies.
| Tom Mcdowell backs his Kitty Give at
| $500 to $3.50 in the latter event. Eastern
money comes in on some Of the metro
poitan cracks. these three bets having
been made: $1,000 to 100 Magian; $1,000
to 800. Gotham $1,000 to 800, Waltzer,
| the same bets being made in each event.
Chicago parties have pooled 1925 and bet
it against $500 on Pat Dunne's Flying
Dutchman in the Chicago Derby. There
| have been but few changes in the odds
since the last quotations were issued.
Dungarvan. selling platter of the
most productive class, won more races
than any other horse that raced during
the season of 1894. He won twenty-one
of the fifty-three races in which he
started. was second five times and third
in ten other races. Yet the total Of his
| winnings was but $500. Dungarvan Will
| be remembered about Colorado as having
been the property OF Hon. j. N. Carlile
| OF Pueblo.
| Among the nominations for the Ken
tucky Futurity ($15, ,0OO), for foals of 1894,
| are foals from the dams of the following
| high-class performers, which is an indi-
cation that great blood will contend for
| the rich nriZe.
