Just now the sensational animal Is
the black 4-year-old FLY Imp. by wag-
ner-FondIing. AS a ~3-year-old she per-
formed wonders. but this season she
has become famous by smashing rec
ords on every track where she faced
the nag. and besides. defeating some of
the best horses in training. Including
her first race. at Newport in the spring.
she has started 81 times his year. her
Newport record being our straight
races n the lowering Of two track
records. Later on, at Lakeside. she
was beaten once in five starts, and her
victor was the great Splinter Abuse.
Then at the Harlem early summer
meeting she had three straight victo-
ries to her credit. and following these
she covered a mile and a furiong at
Washington park in the remarkable
time of 1:51&. with 112 pounds up. At
the recent Harlem meeting she cap
tured six straight races, including three
stakes.
Imp was bred by her present owner.
who also bred her dam. Fondling. and
still WINS the mare. Mr.. Harness was
a prominent figure or the turf in the
early sixties and maintained a large
and high-class stable. He is one of the
older generation Of turfmen.
In the early summer Imp was sent
East for a try in h Suburban. in
which she ran unplaced. Perhaps the
long delay at the post helped to destroy
her chances. She won a handicap at a
mile and an eighth in 1:55h at the
Brooklyn track. She will start a few
times at the coming Lakeside meeting.
and will then be retired for the season..

Owner and Trainer John s. Campbell
makes Chicago his home for the pres
ent. going occasionally to Latonia,
where his string Is located. but where
he cannot well race on account of track
conditions. Campbell has been denti-
fed with the far-off wild and woolly
West for a few years. but I believe he
will soon cut loose from that section
entirely and transfer his training work
and energies to the East or mid West,
where he made an exceptional reputa-
ton during a decade or more. He has
a small string of his own. but 1 think
his ambition is to become identified as
manager and trainer with some promi-
nent stable. JOHNNY" as he is famil-
iarly called. ran probably claim the
distinction of capturing more classic
events than any other trainer in Amer

The report telegraphed from San
Francisco. and published in a number
of New York dailies. that the Duke of
Westminster had recently offered w.
OBJ. Macdonough $4,000 for Ormonde.
| known in England as "the horse of the
century" The Spirit is in a position to
state. has no foundation in fact. 1t is
true. however. that Mr.. Marlborough
was offered a considerable sum of
money for Ormonde by a well-known
E~nglishman. who, however. did not
represent Omonde's o%ri~inal owner.
The produce of Orme have been doing
we'll lately. notably the 2-year-old
Frontier. by Orme-Ouetta. the winner
of the Dewhurst Plate. n seven furlong
stake which usually determines the
Derby winter favorite for the ensuing
year. that a number of English breed
ers are extremely anxious to secur Or
monde blood. The five Ormonde fllies
which Mr.. Macdonoueh will sell shortly
in San Francisco will certainly bring
good prices. - English bid are GER
tain to be heard.

The following from the San Francisco
Examiner will be of interest to the
horsemen:
Jockey II. cSkeets) Martin stopped
off at Chicago and has his
intention of riding on the Indiana
tracks until the season closes. That
means about the 18th of this month.
Jockeys Spencer. Eddie tones and N.
Turner. however. will probably be on
hand at Oakland lei Saturday.
ED Corrigan arrived last Friday
night from Chicago. but has not fully
recoy cred from the bad shaking up he
received In the runaway accident about
FIVE weeks ago. and therefore kept to
his room in the Palace a good deal.
! Now that he has sold his interest in
the Hawthorne track Inc has an
nounced his intention of making his
home in California. II would not be sur
prising to hear that he a purchased

operations from Kentucky to this
state.
