NOTES OF THE TURF. Wyndham Walden is said to be most enthusiastic over the three-year-old Filigrane, by Galore Fillette, which he bred himself and sold to the Messrs. Morris last spring, shortly after the colt won the first Washington Nursery Stakes. Mr. Walden says Filigrane has developed into as fine a looking colt as he has ever seen, and he expects him to be one of the crack three-year-olds of the season. The spectators at Newport will be treated to an interesting novelty on the opening day. The ordinary program will be enhanced by a fox chase. A pack of hounds and riders have been secured for this event. Reynard himself is on hand in the shape of a handsome four-year-old red fox with plenty of speed and stamina . W. P. Norton, one of the owners of Ornament and May Hempstead, has sold his farm at Hop-kinsville, to T. J. McReynolds, of Decatur, 111. and will move the mares belonging to the Wenonah Stud to some place near Lexington, Mr. W. C. Whitney is reported to have secured an option on the entire crop of Meddler yearlings, owned by tho Forbes estate. A recent purchase of thoroughbred mares will be sent to Mr. Whitneys Kentucky farm next week. There is a lot of mischievous comment and guess news in the papers about trouble between the California and Pacific Coast Jockey Clubs Tho probability is that the agreement between the two organizations is still intact. Starter Caldwell is credited with saying that Golden Rule is as fast as any two-year old he ever started, which is equivalent to saying that no faster two-year-old than Golden Rule ever started in this country.
