GOSSIP OF T E TURF Bookmaker Frank Carr who is making a future book on the St Louis Inaugural reports a heavy play on Jim Arthurs Arthur colt Fervor who has performed so well down south this spring He opened at 20 to 1 in the book and was soon backed to 15s Fervor is in the Inaugural at 100 pounds and is thought to have an excellent chance to win it Brewer Schorrs Scorers Macy Marcy who won the Inaugural last year is still the favorite at 4 to li with Satsuma at 5s Macys Mays stable companion Timemaker Tidemark is held at 6 to 1 and so is Harry Duke Quite a heavy c6mmission was received on Harry yesterday Fred Fosters Dr Sheppard and George Bennetts Bennett Forbush Forbes are next in favor at 8 to 1 each Whirlaway Whirl who won a race at Memphis yesterday is held at 100 to 1 St Louis Republic RepublicHamburg Republican Hamburg is a very much improved horse showing far more finish and quality than he did as a twoyearold toehold He moves like a piece of ma ¬ chinery chimer No horse has done better in training this spring than Hamburg He has had a lot of long spin galloping work with occasional sprints and miles in about 150 and is now where his trainer than whom there are none cleverer in any country can thoroughly key him up for a bruising race on very short notice Morning Telegraph TelegraphLast Telegraph Last Sundays San Francisco Chronicle says 4 4Burns Burns Waterhouse Warehouse tomorrow will ship Traverser Traverse back to Virginia Bradley at New York The son of Rossington Crossing despite the fact that he was sick for six weeks after his arrival has won something like 10000 of which Brad ¬ ley levy is to receive 6000 He has not been an es ¬ pecially specially good colt for Burns Waterhouse Warehouse on account of his uncertainty which made backing him a rather precarious proposition Then again Candelaria Candelabra would have won the Palace Hotel Stake but for the presence of Traverser Traverse Still it was very sportsmanlike on the part of Burns Watorhouse Warehouse to win with a colt that did not really belong to them The New York Sun of Wednesday says Bromley Brome Cos Coos big string of thoroughbreds arrived in Jersey City last night from Lexing

Michael F Dwyer expectsto expects race Harry Reed Cleophus Cloths Sly Fox Ben Ronald Rotterdam Previous Michael III and Hindoonet Himont at the nearby Aqueduct meeting He is not likely to start many of his 2yearolds until later on in the season Of his older horses Cleophus Cloths has been doing especially well in her work An eastern critic says Cleophus Cloths has developed into a grand mare has done a lot of strong work and as she has all of her speed she is likely to win every time out no matter what the distance may bo Michael III is very fit and there is no telling how good a horse he may prove to bo Previous has not done so much strong work as the rest of the string but he outclasses anything he is likely to meet He certainly has lost none of his speed If he goes on as he is doing at present he will be a hard horse to beat in any company at the Westches Wretches ter tear spring meeting From pugilism to horse racing is a turn Dan Stuart is reported to be about to make Ac ¬ cording to this report he will with New York associates give race meetings at Hot Springs Ark Dallas Houston and San Antonio Texas He will invest 200000 in a track buildings and other accessories midway between Dallas and Fort Worth and connect the track with the two towns by an electric railway The Houston track will be at Dickinson midway between Houston and Galveston Approximately 100 days of winter racing will be given on the cir ¬ cuit cubit beginning at Hot Springs about the 1st of next December The California Jockey Club has abandoned the plan of a summer circuit starting off with important meetings at Sacramento and Los An ¬ geles gees The reopening of racing at Washington Park and the announcement of meetings at Harlem to precede and succeed the Washington Park meeting was almost certainly a strong factor in the case And well it might be If there has been anything in the racing way worth taking at Washington Park that at one time or another the Californians have not captured it was an oversight In its eleven years history the American Derby alone fell five times to Californians Under the circumstances it is quite natural that Chicago should be a favorite stamping ground with California turfmen Turkmen With the apparent certainty that the glories of highclass highlands racing are to be revived here it is doubtful if many who own horses of fair class could bo kept away anyhow The abandonment of the California summer circuit will benefit the Montana meetings man aged by Ed Tipton Lipton Many of the smaller own ¬ ers who do not feel equal to the expense of the long trip to Chicago will no doubt go to the northern tracks President Tom Williams hav have ¬ ing King thoughtfully announced his determination to declare the proposed California summer meetings
