 THE CHAMPION Marcus Daly Does Not
 Like Matches. ARRIVAL OF LITTLE SAINT
MIR. BRUEN THE NEW STARTER
 AT HAWTHORNE.
The Ed Corrigan and John Brenock Imbroglio and Other Bits of Gossip From the Ameri-
 can Turf.

It IS now SeIIleQ that the two CeleD-
 rities, Hamburg and Ornament, will not meet on August 10 at Saratoga or at any other track, at least not in the near future.
 Marcus Daly. owner of Hamburg, has returned to Montana, and before leav
 ing he left orders with Agent w. j.. Powers that his colt was not to be en- tered In any match races The O-na
 ment people lodged the issue in the Brighton cup, and if the pair meet it
 will be in some of the fall stakes i'll which both are engaged.
 Arthur Bowers, the New York Trib- unes racing critic, seems to be of the opinion that Hamburg can beat any horse of any age at any distance from a quarter of mile to two and quar- ter miles, and indeed it looks as if the New Yorker was right in his conclu- sions.
 Richard Croker's sS0oo selling platter, Little Saint, landed safely in New York August 2, along with two yearlings by Dobbins. Little Saint will be sent 10 Saratoga shortly, and if the change of climate appears not to have Worked any harm to the English colt he will probably be entered in some of the fall stakes and raced around New York City.
 Jockey Jim Bozeman, suspended nearly two years ago, has been rein stated by the jockey club which he offended, and will probably ride 11 Cal ifornia next winter. He Is at present in San Francisco.
 Ocorona, a lilly bred by E. J. Bald win and raced unprofitably by Jim Neil. who gave the bad-tempered miss up as a no-account, has been winning some good races in Montana.
 At St. Louis. August i. Linda. ch. m.. 8, by Linden-Adele, won seven and half furlong race by length cleverly, and on the same day, at Brighton Beach, Lindula, ch f., ?, by Linden-Adele, was easily successful in a six furlong race. Preside won the first heat of live and a half furlong heat affair at St. Louis on the Sth, and at Windsor, Ontario, the same afternoon, Homelike, her half-sister, three years old, landed mile and furlong race in good time
 Rowland is rapidly enforcing recog- milton of his quality as sire. Besides Evelyn Byrd, Rowland Duette and others by him that have won of late, Triune, bay Ally by Rowland -Triplet, captured a flve-furlong race for two year-olds at Windsor, Ont, August 5, winning off by five lengths. Rowland, bred at Palo Alto, Is by shannon, out of Riglin, by imported Glengarry, and comes from the same family as did the immortal Lexington, Salvador, Luke Blackburn, The Bard, Leonatus and Volturno. Shannon was an own brother to Mollie McCarty, who was defeated but once that defeat being In the mem orable $25,0 ,000 match race wi l Ten Broeck at Louisville on the 4th of July, 1878.
 Mr. Bruen, who was booked to do %l 1oC ty-oc.l + .,t the meeting which began last Monday, is said to be the very best exponent of the new school of starters brought into play by the starting gate, introduced in America by R. E. de B. Lopez of He was originally employed at the St. Louis electric light merry go-round and used to get the skates there off head and head and quickly. When he was given charge of the start ing gate at Memphis last spring horse men scoffed at the very idea of giving such a man work, but their scoffS were l ere long changed into cheers and his | work was pronounced perfection itself. { Last winter Ferguson got to allowing | horses here to run at the barrier and | the question was often asked. "Of | what earthly Use is a starting gate?" | 1t was intended to line horses up | against 1t and send them away on | nearly If not quite even terms. MT. | Lopez was by no means an expert at | horses, never having had any | practice at r., yet he could beat Fergu- son, Caldwell or any other person SUD- posed to be clever at the business of | gallopers on heir journey | all In bunch.
 The Corrigan-Brenock imbroglio Is getting interesting. Brenock accuses Corrigan of appropriating $150,00 to his own use that belonged to the Chicago Ron faf nj ceiver appointed, and now Corrigan comes to the front and declares: There was exactly $71 900 in the expenditure | and this was sanctioned by MT. Bren- ock, who paid out nearly one-half of that amount himself, and he knew where every dollar of 1t went" Cor rigan then goes on to accuse Brenock of sharp practice in regard to a check for $51,750, payable to his order, and to be used to meet a note of the club | and interest accrued. A suit Is pend | Ing against Brenock for s60,000, brought by the Chicago Racing Association. The courts will probably soon deter mine which was the heavy villain in the racing play, and the result will be watched with interest by turfmen and | racegoers all over the country.
 Tuscarora, a 7-year-old mare that | won a short-course steeplechase at Windsor, Ont, August 3, Is by Imp. CheVfOt-Santa AnlIa, ana was owned by Lucky Baldwin for several years. He bred her.
 Scotch Plaid, a Saratoga winner, is by Imp. Midlothian from Mottle there fore a half sister to the fast but faint hearted Motto, we'll remembered by our racegoers. Blue Devil, who also won August s, was. like Scotch Plaid, bred | at Rancho del Paso. and Is by Imp. St. Andrew out of Blue Dress.
