GOSSIP OF THE TURF.


John f. Madden has purchased from
J. W. Schcrr. the Western owner. the
three crack thoroughbreis judith Camp
bell Lady Schorr. and Onatas, at a re-
ported price of $4,000. Mr. Madden is
now handling some OF the best horses
in training. He has aEcng others frish
Lad, Blue Girl. Gunfire, Alsono, and Ace
full.
The colors Of Milton Young, the Ken
lucky breeder. we're seen at Sheepshead
Bay on Friday for the first time in sew
eral years. A few years ago his colors-
white, with black polka dots-were IA
miliar to all raccgoers. For a long time
his colors were blue and white stripes
now the colors of Eugene Leigh. First
Chip was the horse which carried Mr..
Young's colors to victory, the colt win i.
ming at 40 to 1.
Heno, who wen Friday at Sheepshead
Bay, was purchased at the MacKay
sale by l.. NJ. Myers, who bought fol- a
Wall Street broker by the name of w. S.
Fanshawe. The success of his horse
probably will result in the purchase Of
more thorou.hbreds.
After her sudden reversal of form on
Wednesday last the judges at Harlem
decided to refuse the entry Of Tichenor
& Co.'S horse, Lacrimae, in the future.
Prior. the jockey who rode the mare.
was also suspended indefinitely.
Jockey Smith. who rode Africander in
the Futurity handicap. says that the
colt would surely have won the race
had not Coburn on Whitechapel DELHI
erately and violently fouled him. Afrf-
cander finished good fourth and there
may be good ground for Smiths state
ment.
Joe Ullman, who purchased two Esher
colts at the McCafferty sale few days
ago, has transferred the horses to John
A. Drake.
"Mr. Roslyn" is to have a rival on
the turf Mrs. Julius Fleischmann, wife
of the Cincinnati millionaire. has de-
termined to follow the example Of Mrs.
Whitney and Mrs. Duryea, and will get
together a racing stable OF her own.
She has commissioned trainer to buy ,
some horses for her. and will race under |
the name of Mr.. Avondale.
Those that control the colt Jack q
Lantern are still shooting at the moon.
They insist in running him against the
best in training. and If they would only
seek softer spots they could be winning
races. He was in maiden race on
Friday, and could have won as he pleas
ed, hut they scratched him and went |
tI1a In af foe Au-
tarita, Auriesyille, John A. Scott. and |
right he can win lot of races before |
the season ends
For lump sum. said to be $50 .000 |
John w. Schorr, on Friday. sold to john !
E. Madden Judith Campbell. Lady Schorr |
and Orontas. a trio that should be able |
to win races in almost any company. |
The question now is. Who was Madden |
buying for? He says himself that he |
thought it was a good speculation, but
the general opinion Is that he was sim
ply acting for someone else. Can it be |
that "Mr. Roslyn" is going to strength |
en- his stable. or that some newcomer in |
the field has selected Madden as the |
buyer of his string?
When Mabel Winn starts again she
will carry the colors Of Dubois & Marry
att, for they bid her up and purchased |
her. on Friday. for $4,000. an advance of |
81, 100 over her entered price. Her own |
er, P. J. German, was soreIy put out at |
the idea Of losing the mare. and he
looked for a chance to retaliate by try
ing to claim those that had followed his |
representative home. but he was little |
late, as the owners of Mary Worth and |
Double Six had. through agents, made a |
friendly claim. that is, they had claimed |
each others horses and then returned |
them. This is permissible under the
rules, but it should not be, as it in a /
way kills the purpose Of races Of this
sort.
Some of the Westerners have been
that Runnels is the best three
of the season, and on Friday
in the Reapers' Stakes their money went
on him in a steady stream. The odds
we're short. but they counted them lib
eral. Heno beat MIN. and incidentally
there are several more around that can
take his measure. He probably is
good colt. but as for being the star, that
is out of the question.
1t is said that "Pittsburg Phil" is try
ing to secure contract for next season
on the services of l.. Smith. This boy.
though far from great rider. has 2
way of getting there that has attracted
many besides the pilnger mentioned.
and if he does sign 1t will be for
Dig salary. He may not have the repu-
tation of some of the others. but he is
more consistent than most of his mates.
and this atones for lot of his short
Dave Gideon has 4 sort OF
verbal contract with aim. and it may
De that he will wear the dark blue"
leXt season.
1t is said that Albert Simons. who in
he West is n terror in selling races.
las been looking after the betting end
# the mare Mabel Winn. If this is
o he is sure to make things merry.
or, once he gets started he makes New
