» I i - - a i f — —i GOSSIP OF THE TURF. Yesterdays Cincinnati Enquirer says: "Man- - ager Frank Fowler, of the Queen City Jockey t Club, is lying dangerously ill at his residence 3 on Greenup street, near Eighteenth, in Cov-r • ington. "Mr. Fowler was taken down with peritonitis 3 1 | a u p d h g s I. i p , , . ] 1 ! ] ] j | i ■ i I • • - t 3 • 3 1 | about 10 days ago, and was confined to his room up until last Saturday. His physician gave him permission to sit up on Sunday last and on Monday he was improved. Yesterday morning, however, a relapse came, and his condition greatly alarmed his friends. It will require several days of absolute rest and careful nursing before the critical stage is passed, but Dr. Kearns, the attending physician, thinks the patient will pull through all right." Starter James Caldwell has accepted the position of starter at the Colorado meetings f which begin May 30. The opening will be at Colorado Springs, where three or four days i racing will be held, then Pueblo will give a 1 few days sport and Denver will open June 9 ] with a program of trotting, pacing and running to last two weeks. Many California running 1 horses will take part in these races and quite a ; nnmber of harness horses from the Pacific I Slope will also participate. The officials so far I appointed for the Overland Park meeting at i Denver are as follows: James Caldwell, starter I of running races : John Ten Eyck, starter of : harness races ; F. E. Mulholland, handicapper ; William Shuckman, clerk of the scales. One of the highest class two-year-olds that has developed this year in California is Rollick, the chestnut gelding by Take Notice — Happy Maiden in the Burns and Waterhonse string. Rollick won his sixth successive race at Oakland on Monday, running the four furlongs in 48£ seconds and winning easily. Happy Maiden is a young mare foaled in 1893, and is by Midlothian — Felicity, by Onondaga, granddam Bliss, 1 by Bonnie Scotland. Rollick is a good looking chestnut. — Breeder and Sportsman. In speaking of Kilmarnocks showing in the i Metropolitan, John E. Madden said: "Kilmarnock ■ did not run his race. Odom laid out of it ; too long, and when he made his run he met with i some interference. The colt will show up to better advantage the next time he goes to the post." Mr. Madden claims he has some likely I two-year-olds. He is waiting for them to "thaw r out," as he puts it, stating that it takes horses some time to become acclimated when shipped I from Kentucky here.— Morning Telegraph. "M. F. Tarpey is the best two-year-old in the Corrigan stable." said Dick Williams. "This colt Father York, you hear so much about, is not to be compared with M. F. Tarpey, that is to say, as far as their work is concerned. I saw the pair work together at Ingleside. and Tarpey always took Father Yorks measure. Toah, a colt out of the famous old race mare Modesty, is about the second best two-year-old in the Corrigan string. "Schreibers stable won about fifty races and nearly 5,000 in stakes and purses on the coast the past winter," continued Williams. "Sofala was the best bread winner, with Bannockburn a close second. He started six times, won four races and was second twice. Malay and Geyser both beat him, but neither had any license to do it. " Bannockburn is the best race horse and the a best looking one I ever saw. Forte a good j horse over a distance of ground. Schreiber r bought him for 00 from Pat Dunne last j. fall and won ,000 with him at San Fran-L L_ cisco. He will be heard from in the long ? races east next fall. The stable made a big „ killing with Foul Play the only time she e ever started. She bowed in that race and had I to be turned out. Jerry Hunt was lame all 1 winter and never could be gotten to a race. i. Miss Marion, after a hard campaign all last fall, I, stood a winters hammering in good shape. . Nothing but her class carried her through. She e will be a good mare next fall. "-St.LouisRepublic c
