| GOSSIP OF THIS TURF. Tom McGee, who brought Mr. Corrigans horses from California to Latonia, where they are now quarted, is credited in the Cincinnati Commerciai-Tribane recently with saying : "Mr. Corrigan will not have anything to do with racing in and around Chicago this summer, as he has washed his hands of the whole business. He has no use for Chicago tracks and their promoters, and he even would not allow me to ship his horses by way of Chicago, and they came to Latonia via St. Louis. All of Mr. Corrigans horses are in good shape, and they will be raced at Latonia the entire meeting." About Mr. Corrigans good colt Corsini, the same newspaper said yesterday: "Corsini, the winner of the Clark Stakes, was galloped yesterdap morning and was being prepared for the Himyar Stakes at Latonia. Corsini is doing so well at present that unless something happens to him in the meantime, he will be a sure starter in the Himyar. None of Mr. Corrigans horses will start until the latter part of next week, as they are resting up after their journey across the continent." John Bright, whose brilliant performance in the Decoration Day Handicap Tuesday stamped him a high class colt, will be given the most trying test of his quality that he has ever yet had Saturday. The good sen of Sir Dixon was shipped to St. Louis by express Wednesday night to go in the great race of the meeting at the Mound City, the rich Club Members Handicap on that day. In that raee he will measure strides with the best handi-eap horses iu the west, including such cracks as What er Lou, who has already won the big stake once; Macy, Obsidian and others. In Saturdays big event John Bright will carry 110 pounds. If he is as good a horse Saturday as he was here the other day ho will be a hard horse to beat with what is a light impost for him. There may be one or* more horses in the St, Louis event that can take the measure of Talbot Bros. colt; but if he goes to the post as good as he was in the Decoration Handicap any horse that gets home in front of him will know that he has been in a real race. Considerable local interest will attach to the St. Louis race among local followers of the game because of John Brights presence in it —Cincinnati Euquirer.
