NOTES OF THE TURF. Last Fridays San Francisco Examiner says: "Charles Dwyer and Tod Sloan expect to leave early next week for Chicago and the far east. They will remain one week in the windy city and a week in New York. Then they will do-part for England. Sloan wants to get across to the tight little isle and have plenty of time to prepare himself for the campaigh. Young Mr. Dwyer will have a few horses in England himself and Tod will ride them if previous engagements do not prevent." E. Y. Snedoker, one of the best known trainers in the country, died suddenly at Morris Park Sunday, of heart disease. His health had been bad for some time. In his time Snedeker handled many noted racehorses, Kingston was perhaps his best. He brought this great horse out and raced him as a two-year-old, selling him afterwards to Dwyer Bros, for along price. His death will be greatly deplored by the older generation of turfmen. It is designed by the Westchester Association to make Saturday, May 20, a red letter day of tho meeting. On that date it is contemplated that the National Stallion race of 0,000 and the Grand National Steeplechase will be decided. These two events, in addition to others of less importance, should result in attracting an enormous crowd to Morris Park. It now begins to look as though there will bo no racing at Oakley next spring.
