Ruinart is being galloped daily at the
1ngleside track with view of prepar-
ing him for the Spring stakes, in which
he is literally entered 1t is matter
of doubt whether his legs will stand
the necessary preparation or not. If
he can be gotten in condition, however,
he will be a hard horse to best, as there
are not many horses there at present
that are in his class
Burns & Waterhouse weigh every
horse in their stable on the first of the
month. They have adopted this plan
with a view to finding out the exact
condition of their horses. Sometimes
horse may appear to be high in flesh,
when in reality it is losing. While the
average horse loses all the way from
~ to 30 pounds after it has been in
training a short time. there have been
some notable exceptions Napamax is
one. She was weighed before she was
put to training and again when about
ready for a race. To the surprise of
her owners she had picked up two
pounds. In other words, she gains flesh
in work, a thing which happens to very
few horses. Recreation never picked up
any flesh in training, but, at the same
time, she never lost any worth men,
tioning. The last time she was weighed
she showed only loss of a couple of
pounds from what she tipped the scales
at when taken up.

stable and also Mamie Scott, which
holds the record at seven and a half
furlongs, were bred to Magnet this

There is project on foot to start a
winter track in Havana. Walter o.
Palmer and J. w. Russwurm of Nash
vile have left for Cuba to look over the
ground, and if their ideas are carried
out the Havana track may prove a
strong game. There will be a large in
f1ux of prospectors into Havana soon,
and these, in addition to the army that
Uncle Sam will keep in that vicinity.
will make population to draw from of
between 100000 and 100000. If the Gu
DdIlS call Ue SeuuCeu from Cne1r love FOR
bull fights, it may be that racing
proposition there can be made a pay
ing matter.
The nomenclature crank has broken
out down at New Orleans and nomi-
mates f1lly under the unfair handicap
of I'm Next" The fact that she is a
full sister to What Next is the only ex-
cuse for the name. The Jockey club,
busy with grave matters, ought to give
casual hour to a revision of the q
year-old names sent in and do some
thing hard to such idiots as this New
Orleans criminal. The Morris family
deserve some sort of punishment, too,
for their awful perpetuations in nomen-
!clature.
One of the crowd that started at New
Orleans to-day is a, bay filiy named
