Mount McGregor. who Is running at the
San Francisco track. has a bad habit OF
swerving when making a hard finish
Harry Griffin, who rode him the other
day. carried two-foot piece OF two-inch
rubber hose, and when MecGregor com
menced making rail fence tracks he soak
ed him over the head plenty with the

do the starting at Lexington, louisville,
Latonia and Oakley next season.
Old Bitten has an ankle that Is nearly
twice its natural size. and there is very
little chance OF the iron horse" ever
coming to his form again.
Charley Wood, the prominent English
Jockey who was ruled of the turf in
England IN 1857. is begging the authorities
for reinstatement. The latter appear I'm
no hurry to grant his petition. 1t Is this
thoroughness of punishment which keeps
the English turf honest.
M. z. McHenry, well-known horseman,
will dispose of his string of trotters and
PAGERS at a sale in New York city. He
will no longer conduct a public training

early in the new year. He succeeds Andy
Mcdowell. who held the position last
year. 1t Is reported that McHenry Is to
get 5000 a year for his services as driver
and trainer.

cry one will go under the hammer ex-
cept Felix Carr, who Is in training for the
