TURF AND TRACK NOTES.

c. E. Durnell received word yesterday at
San Francisco from the Jockey Club that
it would be entirely agreeable to the east
ern racing authorities if he would sell his
horses. Durnell says he will dispose of
them at auction next week.
AS an indication of John E. Maddens
belief that Salvidere will be a good horse
in 1908 it is known that the Belvdere
geldng has been recently nominated in
three of the most important stakes of the
summer meeting of the Coney Island
Jockey Club. The entries for a great ar
ray of stakes will close on January /
next.
Wednesday, June 3. The Oaks, for
which Richard Cookers Rhodora is
thought to have great chance, will be
run on Friday, June ).
Private advices from the new Arcadia
track near Los Angeles are to the effect
that it will be not only the fastest, but
also one of the most picturesque race
courses in America. The Oakland track
up to a few days ago was too hard for
safe racing, but recent rains have put it
in suitable condition. Many of S. c. Hill
dreth's horses were made lame by the
hard going at Oakland
For several days the racing at the Fair
Grounds track at New Orleans was mis-
leading as tests of form, because of the
existence of hard path. AS anticipated,
the entries of c. f. Durnell will not be
accepted at New Orleans.
John J. Hyland has sixteen horses of
various ages in training at his stable at
Sheepshead Bay.
To horsemen the important fact was
made known Sterday by Thomas Smith
of the Coney Island Jockey Club that en-
tries to the Century stake will close on
January / next.

RYAN, one of the pioneers of the get

horse owner yesterday at the Fair

by bidding up horses in selling races. When
he got a chance to purchase DR.. McCluer
from Pat Civil at a reported price of
81 800 he grasped the opportunity eagerly
and started the horse for the last race.
RYAN won more than the purchase price
of Dr. McCluer by backing him heavily.
His money was not placed in the local
