NOTES OF THE TURF. Annual licenses to trainers will probably bs issued by the Jockey Club Committee on License this week. Seventy-five applications for license are now on file with F. O. Hanlon, assistant secretary. Only persons having one or more horses in charge and peisonally training and caring for same will be granted a liceneo. This ruling is designed to weed out the army of track followers who apply for a trainers license in tho expectation of securing a stable of horses later on New York Sun. Some of tho two-year-olds at Memphis did good work Sunday. Among the moves reported were: Pattersons Kentucky, blk. c, 2, by Kingston Meter, and McMeakins colt by Fonso Daisy Rose worked four furlongs in :50l ; Tom-linsons The Conqueror, in :51; W. H. May and Sons Joe Simrall, in 51; A. H. and D. H Morris Bonnivard and Petit Maitre, in :52; J. B. Lew-mans Kisberdale and Mollie Newman, in :50 flat. Knight of the Thistle, the property of Lucien Appleby, is one of those chosen by English critics to win tho Linconshire Handicap, to be run in England on March 21. Knight of the Thistle and Berzak are both in the hands of John Huggins, and "Tod" Sloan will ride the best of the pair, for the formers racing qualities are loased to Sloans employer, Lord William Beresford. Two prominent western racing stables will ship east from California April 15. They are the W. B. Jennings and P. Dunne strings. The Jennings collection, headed by that rare mare Briar Sweet, will go to Sheepshead, while the Dunne horses will find quarters at the Grave-send track. New York Herald.
