NOTES-OF THE TURF. Danny Maher, tho jockey who was set dowu by W. H. Clark after his failure to get away with Banastar iu the Snburban, will ride the remainder of tho Beason for J. R. Keene, tho well-known horseman, and for C. Fleischmann Sods when Keeno has no need for his services. Maher has been released by Mr. Clark and engaged by Mr. Keene for tho season at m salary of 0,000 a year and a bonus of ,CO0. The contract will probably be signed early this week. It is to bo observed that aside from Tod Sloans successful riding in England the other American jockeys, Lester Reiff, "Skeets" Martin and little Johnny Reiff have also scored in a way that won applause. The deduction is that the beat riders in this country are, to say the least, fully tho equals of tho bast riders in the birth place and home of modern racing. The American entries for tho English Derby of 1901, are: W. OB. Macdonough, 1; Sydney Paget, 9; Marcus Daly, 6; J. G. Follansbee, 1; John Daly, 1; James R. Keene, 2: Foxhall P. Keene, 2; C. T. Patterson, 1. For tho Oaks the entries are; James R. Keeno, 2; Foxhall P. Keene, 2; Sydney Paget, 4; Marcus Daly, 5. Tho Duko of Westminster has presented tho winnings of his colt Flying Fox, in tho Eclipse Stake, ran at Sandown Park, amounting to 2,500, to the Royal Alexander Hospital at Rhyl, Wales, of which he is president and tho Princess of Wales patroness.
