QUITS THE AMERICAN TURF.

Ed. COrrfGan Retires From Racing in
This Country, Going to England.
Twelve American-bred race horses are in
| New York awaiting shipment to England
early next week. where they are to be
raced by their owner, Edward Corrigan,
! who formerly was a conspicuous figure
as turfman and owner of western race
| tracks.

in England last season, has disposed of all
his breeding and racing establishments in
the United States and has even retired
from any part in the management of Chi

self entirely to the turf in England. Of
the horses he will take abroad, however,
a number are of his own breeding on his
California ranch.
Corrigan has figured prominently in turf
disputes, but in England he seems to have
curbed his aggressive disposition and has
made many friends abroad. He Is enthu-
siastic about the opportunities English rae
ing offers and the successes he achieved
last year.
The horses Of the lot he now has in New
York waiting to be sent to England include
nine California bred animals. The individ-
uals are Corsine. five years; Sardine, four
years; bay colt by Artillery Mabel, and
nine two-year-ods. one by Bassetlaw, one
Riley, and one by Watercress. OF the num-
Der Corsine Is well known, he having won
the California derby in 1899, and later at
Louisville won the Clark stakes. The
horses will supplement a stable already
owned by Corrgan in England.

George Gatlin, colored driver, was up
behind Bulletin, and just before the start

scented him with 500 which had been placed
with parties Ito fix Gatlin.' George simply
remarked that 500 was not enough to buy
a colored man, logged to the start and
drove the race to win.

second was ruled a dead heat and Bulletin
took the next two straight
