Yesterdays Cincinnati Enquirer says: "Kid Weller is preparing to make a hard fight for his share of the profits earned by the Derby horse, Prince McClurg, which is now in litigation in the Kenton County courts. Adolph Marks, a 1 Chicago attorney, came down from tho Windy City yesterday to arrange some of the preliminary matters in the case for Weller. The ownership of the horse will probably be settled next t week." The Brighten Beach stewards havj oderad i that no more entries from Trillions owner, W. C. Hayes, be received. They have also 1 ordered that the license of steeplechase rider . J. Mara be suspended for the meeting. As the , name of J. Mara appears in the list of jockeys , ruled off by the Chicago Racing Association, it . might be pertinent to inquire why he is allowed I 1 to ride at all. The veterinary who is treating Algol has notified Mr. Schorr that his good horse will stand training again. He will be kept in retirement ; for some time to come, however, in order to give his ailing leg every chance to regain soundness. Don dOro, which was slightly amiss, is now in work again, and with no setback will be a starter for the Brighton Cup.
