GOSSIP OF THE TURF. - Since July 28, 1898, a horse has been racing as Muskadine, bay colt, 3, by Muscovy Glenetta, and at New Orleans on December 30, won one mile and a furlong in 1 :oii. This horee is not registered in Volume VII. of the Stud Book, and his dam, Glenetta, has been left out of the list of broodmares in that volume. He is not in the Jockey Club list of registered foals of 1895 and 1896. His dam Glenetta, appears in Vol. VI. of the Stud Book, page 479. The rule of the American Turf Congress requires that horses must be registered in the American Stud Book before they can race on Turf Congress tracks. Muekadine raced at St. Louis, Harlem and Hawthorne, and won at Harlem, all of which associations are members of the Turf Congress. Volume VII. is supposed to be the registry of all horses since the publication of Volume VI. in the spring of 1894. Muskadine being a reputed three-year-old, could not be registered under his dam in Volume VI., and does not appear in Volume VII. So the question arises, how is he eligible to race under the rules, and if eligible, why were he and his dam omitted from Volume VII? Turf, Field and Farm. At last advices fifty-six entries had been received to the Suburban Handicap with more expected. Among those already in are Tillo, winner of last years Suburban; Ben Holladay, Plaudit, George Eeene, The Huguenot, Don dOro, Peep oDay, Havoc, Tragedian, Algol, Macy, Lieber Karl, Han dOr, Imp, F. F. V., Bangle, Candleblack. Previous, St. Cloud II., Voter, Uriel, Firearm and Napamax, and about the same list of three-year-olds already published as entries to the Brooklyn, The new long distance event, The Advance Stakes, has Ben Holladay, Tillo, Plaudit, George Boyd, George Keene, St. Cloud II., Uriel, Imp, Goodrich, Candleblaok, Frohsinn, Autumn and Knight of Silver among the entries. Generally speaking the Coney Island Jockey Club stakes show a great increase of entries over last year. Judging by the reports vihich come from the farm of Gideon and Daly, at Holmdel, N. J., that firm will cut quite a figure with their two-year-olds this year. There are now twenty-two on the farm, the majority of them being by that good racehorse and sire His Highness. Quite a number of them have shown fast work in their trials. There is one in particular that has shown himself to be a speedy colt, and it is expected that he will prove to be a second Jean Beraud. The latter was bred at Holmdel. New York Sun.
