 A. Featherstone, who received 25 per cent of Yankees Futurity winnings for scratching Hatasoo so that O'Con- nor could ride the Hanover colt, has turned the full amount over to the jockey, or, to be more exact, he has. banked it in the boys name. It amounts to about $9,000.

 St Louis, Sept 4.4When John Enff7 man Monday received telegram from his farm at Greenville, III, that his highly prized stallion Sligo, strap ping big son of Hanover, the greatest of American sires, was dead, it came as a crushing bit of news, for Han overs blood is in great demand and Sligo had all the requisites of good stallion, size, breeding and good race record It seems that another noted horse, Logan, also owned by Mir Huff man, got into Sligo's paddock yesterday morning and the sta1lions at once en- gagged in combat. The battle was q most desperate soneF They bit, kicked and jumped on each other, and despite the efforts of the rgEoa1ns could not be separated until Sligo lay, on the ground yanquished. A veterinary was wired for; but before he could leave for the scene of the trouble Sligo was dead.
 Hartford, Sept 1.-The three events on the first days card were all taken by odd-on favorites. The trotting classes were won in straight heats by Country Jay, and Neva Simmons re- spectiyely. Some of the finishes were close, but the winners in most cases had an easy time. From the grand stand it looked as though Helen Grace had a short head the advantage over Neva Simmons in the first heat of the 2:19 trot, but the judges saw it other wise: After Terrace Queen had won two heats of the pacing race rather handily, to the surprise of those who were backing New Richmond at $1O0 to $50, she grew leg weary and there after the favorite had it all his own way. Yesterdays postponeInent throws the entire program back one day. rThe free-for-all trot in which are Bora1ma. Lord Darby, Charley Herr, the Monk and Georgena, will be trotted on Thursday, while the Charter Oak goes over until Friday. The stable of E. E. Smathers, with the exception of Iva Dee which has been turned over to Ed Geers, has been shipped home Sphinx s. and Ida Highwood will be used on the Speedway this fall.
