ment OF $105, 800 by Mr.. Belmont for the
four horses, Hastings, Henry OF Navarro.
Dorian and keenan,. A Philadelphia paper
says this is tho largest outlay for four
horses in training ever made in so short a
time in the history of American racing.
The next highest price ever paid for four
horses in training in so short a period of
time was when Richard Croker, in 1892,
gave $4,000 for Yorkyille Belle, SEC, 200
for Dobbins, $4,000 for Red Banner, and
$40, 900 for Fairy-$G9, 200 for the quar-
tctte.
Halma. the horec the Flischmanns paid
$25 600 for at the Latonia meeting in the
spring, is now at LOUISVILLE and is about
ready to begin racing again. Halma went
amiss just after his present owners got
him, and has not becnhimself since. Halma
was looked upon by many as the best three
year old of the year.
A car load of horses that were shipped
from the Latonia course arrived ut the
Bay District track, San Francisco. last
week, and will DE raced there all winter.
They are the property OF Frank Phillips.
The Western horse Lissak, heavily en-
gagged in the Eastern autumn stakes. is SO
badly off that it is thought he will rot
be seen In any of these events.
An interesting match has been made at
Baltimore. 6. H. spofford, the owner of
Allentown, 2:l9 Ia; Z. F. Baker, owner
of Josie c., 2:27 34. and Thomas Leishear,
owner of Sheba Queen. 2:26 Ia, have
put up $500 each and will trot for it or
October f. 1t is expected that the race
will carry as much money as has ever been
bet by Pimlico members on a match, as
there is much rivalry between the owners
and a big difference of opinion among,
the club members as to the relative merits
OF the horses.
Ramapo isseaid TO be getting into good
shape again. The horse has been troubled
by a split hoof.
Notwithstanding the assertions made by
many turfmen that neither running nor
harness horse meetings can be carried on
in these days without betting privileges,
the Fleetwood meeting is said TO have
cleared more than $50 900.
The managers of the New England ia .
are negotiating with Monroe Salisbury for
a race between AZote and John S. Johnson
the bicyclist. The tair people have Offered
TO hang up a purse of So 900 for such an
event. johnson has already agreed to the
terms.
Women are becoming quite factor on
both the running and the trotting turf.
Mrs. E. d. Conkling, OF Mechanicsburg,
Ohio, OWNS the great horse Be Sure. with
a record of 2:OT; Mrs. John Lindsey, of
Richmond. Va, owns Iron Bar. with
record below 2:1O, while Mrs W. E. ID.
Stokes, of New York. is the fortunate
owner OF the great three year-old pacinl
mare. Miss Rita. that went mile at Gales
burg, H., the other day in 2:O9 81 Be
sides these ladies there are twenty or more
others who own horses now prominent on
the track.
There is talk of another match race be-
tween Domino, Henry Of Navarro, and Cliff
ford. This is the greatest trio OF the day,
and a meeting would create widespread
interest All three horses are said to be in
fine condition.
1t is said that one of the chief objects
Mr.. Belmont has had in investing so much
money in horses is to raise the turf to a
higher standard than it has recently en-
joyed. so that the first people OF the country
would find a source of entertainment and
enjoyment in it. II this is true Mr.. Bel
mont's efforts seem TO have borne little
fruit New York's first society shows
no interest in his venture.
Fifty-four heats were trotted and paced
at the recent Fleetwood meeting. and the
average time was 2.13 "a. Fleetwood
is a slow track.
The owner of the trotting horse Larabie
has been offered and refused $4,000 for
him. The trotter that brings this figure
these days must be counted good one.
Larabie is three years old. He is by Jay
Bird. and has a mark of gig 81.
After a ten days trial of racing with
out betting. C. W. Williams has announced
that for the remainder of his fourteen
weeks meeting at Galesburg there will
be pooling. 1t now remains to be seen what
the Illinois authorities will do.
