made in his walking matches. In 1886,
when reduced to extremeties, he deter
mined to recoup his fortunes by a

came to him at his beck. He was fair

displayed only such histrionic promise
as can be expressed in leap from a

he made every day for week. for ao

took time to break several records as
long-distance swimmer and also three

He also married again, his first wife

TRAINING ON AT MEMPHIS

Training in earnest has been COM
menced at Memphis, and while LTD
in the way of speed has been attempt
ed enough has been seen of the many
2-year-olds TO form some idea Ct their
prospective worthas racing tools. Each
season some of the 2-year-olds that
afterward demonstrate their right to
cake rank with the best of their year
make their debut in competition here,
and from what has been seen of the
crop in the barns at the track at pres
emit some unknown stars of the new
century are doubtless stalled here. The
track seems to have a tendency to d.
velop plenty of muscle, and J. w.
Schorr, the largest owner in the west,
recently said that if a horse could work
well at Montgomery Park he Should
win at any other track. The stable Of
the Schorrs this year contains sixteen
2-year-olds that do net suffer in COM
parison with the bunch developed last
year, when it included Alard SchlecX,
Joe Frey, Farmer Bennett, Lady
Schorr, Dangerline, and one or two
others which helped clean up in the
neighborhood of $4,000 during their
campaign from New Orleans to Coney
Island. The senior Schorr is here and
takes an active part in the training of
the youngsters, who are being handled
by George Walker, the regular trainer
of the Schorrs' western division for
the last four years. The junior Schorr
is at present racing at the tracks in
California, and will not come east I'M
til time to ship to New Orleans for the
Crescent City Derby. Young Schorr
has Joe Frey, Dangerline, Ordnung,
Bah. and few others that will be
brought east and raced from Memphis
on up the line.
