TURF GOSSIP.
The Rhymer, Broken Down, Retired to
the Stud,

After burning up a ton of money for his
owners. The Rhymer has been retired. After
his disappointing race last Tuesday he vir-
tually broke down. and after an examina-
ton yesterday Snapper Garrison, his train
er, decided it would be useless to try again
with him. The horse was sold at Brighton
with the idea Of starting him in the pro-
posed match race between Waterboy and
McChesney, and later he ran in the name
of the Manhattan stable. 1t was reported
that he was really the property of E. E.
Smathers. but this was positively denied.
Still, 1t is a fact, that in recent races Mr.
Smathers has backed The Rhymer for large
amounts. On Tuesday 1T was said that the
stable wagered $4,000 on him as a last
resort. The Rhymer is a 1ve-year-old horse
by The Bard, and will probably go to the
stud.
Those who inspected the steeplechaser
Cephalalgfa in the paddock before yester-'
days race at Gravesend wondered why the
oncials allowed him to go to the post.
His ankles were clearly in bad shape and
before he had made the first circuit Of the
course he was in evident pain His rider
put him under the whip and drove him to
the first jump in the backstretch without
mercy. There the old gelding stumbled and
fell, in helpless condition.
