GOSSIP OF THE TURF
Louis Ezell Is Showing UP Strong as a
Bidder for Horses Entered in Sell
ing Races - Stories About
Tony Taylor, the Trainer.

Louis Ezell promises to outrival Tommy
horses entered in selling races, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Griffin would bid up a
horse because he wanted the animal in
his stable. Ezell's method is different.
When one of his horses finishes second in
a race he bids up the winner and claims
any horse in the race that he fancies. BY
this means he secures a good horse at a
low figure.
At Harlem Ezell was given an opportu-
nifty to add a good horse to his string.
He awaited himself of it, so far while
Simon D., a pretty fair performer, will
race under his colors.
When Draw Lad beat Kamsin and Med.
dler at the Lakeside meeting Ezell, who
owns Kamsin. bid up Draw Lad and
claimed Medder. Now it happened on
Monday that the sulky old Meddler got
away well in the last race and finished
second to E. C. Brown & Co.'S filly. Pau
line j. 1t was a selling race and Ezel
was on hand when Associate Judge Chiv-
ington offered her at auction. She was
entered to be sold for S40O Ezel promptly
bid her up to $500 and permitted the own
ers to continue ownership of her by bid
ding $905. He then claimed Simon D., who
was entered by his owners, James Arthur
& Co., for $400. Ezell received 1852. so as
his share of the run-up of Pauline ]. and
SIS for finishing second with Meddler.
The winning end of the purse was $500. So
he practically secured Simon D. for
$372 SO.

chased by SYDNEY Paget is the first
thoroughbred sired by Kingston. She was
not actually the first foal sired by him.
The first of his get was out of a farm
mare belonging to H. Eugene Leigh.
Strange to say, this cart mare foal looked
for all the world like thoroughbred. and
was the dead image of the sire.
When the practice of building a white
wash .semi-circle around the judges stand
was first introduced and the Queens

meeting at Aqueduct, Marty Bergen gave
Mr.. Cozer. the presiding judge in the

Marty had the mount on 2-year-old,
real bad one. His field went away from
him directly they turned into the long
straight. and furlong from home he was
logged in a bad last, and passing under
the wire rode his mount straight into the
charmed white semi-circle.
Here, Bergen, get out of that spoke
up Mr.. Cozer from the judges stand.
Don't you know that that's reserved for
the first and second horses? Wait for
them
Marty smiled, presumably because he
was thinking and wondering where was

horses head to move away, but thought
