John W. Schorr is taking all the
stakes at New Orleans. Yesterday he
captured the Ponce de Leon handicap
with Sea Robber, making the fourth star
event he has nailed since the season be-
gan. "Tomlny" Burns has ridden the
winners of these stakes, and when he
lands east this season it is believed he
will be fitting rival for ''Tod" Sloan,
as he finishes strong and uses excellent
judgment.
News comes from California that Pat
rick Dunno, the noted turfman, has
joined the merry band of bcncdicts and
from now on will trot "double." The
event occurred last Tuesday. The brides
name was Miss Helen Dinniene until
Tuesday, since then Mrs. Patrick Dunno.
"Pat's'' eastern friends have sent con-
gratulations.
Sea Robber is one Of the very best
colts at New Orleans.
''Tod Sloan is as busy as a bee in the
honey time these days. lie does net
know which way to turn. lie has bust
ness enough to turn the head Of much
larger piece Of humanity. Since his ,e-
turn from Europe he has been surrounded
by all solts OF people from the million
aire owner OF horses to the tramp. To-
day, however, he has threatened to leave
it all and take a quiet trip into California.
Sloans services are in great demand, so
much 50 that there was Il rllmor circulated
yesterday that Mr. James X. kccnc tried
to purchase Sloan's release from the
Fleischmanns, Could Mr. kccnc secure
Sloan's services from Mr.. Flcischman he
would no doubt send long string OF
horses to England headed by Ben
Brush. 1t was also said that Philip j.
Dwyer is trying TO obtain second call
upon Sloan, and has interviewed
Mr.. F!eischmann on the subject.
This is a deal which might ultimately
be consrmnatcd. Another report was
also circulated that Il prominent the
atrical manager has offered "Tod' Il
goodly sum to appear on the stage for a
season OF four weeks. In addition to
considering all these offers, TOD" re-
ccived a message from "PittSburg Phil"
to pay him visit in Florida, and his
own inclinaliunS lean toward Il trip
West.
Sloan will ride in San Francisco dur
ing MS stay lltfr, II only 10 keep IN
practice for the commencement Oi the
season.
William Dunol,lc recently said that of
all the twn-yrar-oIds he saw out last
year he thought Previous the best.
The Fort Erie people are trying their
very best to get ont OF debt and give an
other meeting this year. If they do keep
their heads above water it is to be hoped
they will be made to give some sort of a
guarantee for their purses
