Hughes, who developed jockey Doni-inick at the Fair Grounds last summer, has returned from Chicago with Eight Bells and is preparing to ship Lady Callahan and the rest of his stable to New Orleans for the winter.

Ben Holladay is in winter quarters at Mr. Eastins farm near Avon, Ky., and it is stated that ho Lwill enter stud service next spring. This magnificent staying son of Hanover should in time succeed to the crown of his dead sire if all that goes to make worth in a racehorse is to meet its due reward. Secretary Sheridan Clark will make long dis! tance races one of the features at Newport and on Saturday he expects to have a mile and six furlongs affair on the card. Next week be will put Beveral long distance races on the program, one being at two miles. The 10-year-old stallion, Ludwig, by Darebin, was destroyed recently on account of his mean .temper.
