trouble, and as he is partial to mile and a
quarter, ought to be at his best In the Brook
lyn. Billy Donahue has Lazzarone in hand
with exactly the same intention. Lazza-
rome has grown very much this winter, and
Is as big and strong as a cart horse. When
Willie Martin rode Lazzarcne as a 3.year-
old, he once said the colt was a better horse
than Clifford. Martin is n man of great
TO be nursed for killing.
Louisville win soon be alive with runners
ham and William Wallace have moved up
from Lexington, and later ON Ed. Geers is
to come from Chicago with the HanIin
trotters and racers.
Charles Boots has made up his mind as
to the real class Of Vinctor, and has sent
him back to the farm. The colt had speed
in certain sense but is over the selling
plate order. At one time Boots had great
hopes of taking the Brooklyn with this colt,
but has given up the idea.
Adolph Spreckeis viii send East in care Of
Galen Brown a fair stable, which ought to
pick up good bit of overnight handicap
money. II Mr. Spreckels has as good thor
oughbreds as trotters some one will get hurt
before the sea son ends. Hulda was pretty
fair trotter. Brown will keep Libertine and
Macklln will ride for him.
Libertine won the Gen. Arthur stakes at
San Francisco last Saturday In a manner
which shows more than pretensions TO class.
He picked up 20 pounds and ran a mile and
a sixteenth In 1:4s . beating Lovdal IL O6)
Wheel of Fortune u0s) and 4 fair lot OF
California stake-horses. As the horse was
2 to he must have carried plenty of stable
money.
In New Orleans If a reporter intimates
Chris. Fitzgerald as starter is incompetent
he is ruled off. The same penalty is meted
out II he criticises anything connected with
the track. Just now the track officials are
trying to find out how it was the poolroOms
were beaten out of $50 900 last Saturday,
when Royal Nettie was sent out as winner
instead of Plug. The offense is laid to James
Conway one OF the telegraph operators.
David Gideon Is In New Orleans and is not
a QUIET spectator. He backed Campania in
n race won by Valet and insisted that Cam
panla had been pulled, and called Sherrer,
The Jockey, little thief. Then he matched
Campania against Valet for six furiongs for
$1,000 a side, the race to take place this
afternoon. Perhaps Mr.. Gideon Will have
more wisdom and less money when he gets
away from New Orleans.
One of the 4-year-olds fancied by Eastern
aorsemen is Nanki Pooh, in charge OF Will
lam Donahue. This colt was fine 3-year-
Did, and gave evidence of considerable
class. He has filled out, and now looks able
TO go distance and carry weight. So far he
has been overlooked by most OF the calcula-
tors on 4-year-old chances. BeImar. the
gray colt, is another thatis attracting atten-
fion. Hewas. like Nanki Pooh, a fair 3-year-
old.
The American horse trainers now In Eng
land insist that the Americans train closer,
finer and more accurately than the Eng
lish. Nor are they in love with track meth
DDS in England. Some of them say that they
are taxed for exercise gallops, and that at
the big races the turf is not clean, but
papers and refuse is allowed to lie upon
h.
the English idea of comfort. Joe Eakens,
n New York turf writer, showed an Eng
lish visitor the grand stand at Morris Park
and the only comment was: "YoS should
see the grand stand at Newmarket" Last
winter Eakens was in England and saw
the Newmarket grand stand. He is salts
fled that his English visitor was humor-
ist
Fred Fosters entries Will be taken by
Roby This was expected. When the East
ern tracks permitted Foster torace 1t would
not look well for Roby to refuse. Just now
Foster is out with the turf congress. But
ne cares little for that. His horses arc at
Roby DR.. Rice, the winner OF the Brook
lyn, is the pride OF the string. Besides,
there will be the useful horse Sullross and
Elroy and Disturbance. The stable is now
managed by his brothers, and the entry
will be made in the name OF Foster brothers.
