J NOTES OF THE TURF. Barney Schreiberdid not start Sofala .i, the Debutante stakes at St. Louis and said before the race: "My filly has not been right since her long journey across the Rocky Mountains. She has been off her feed, and I have been compelled to borrow some California hay from Captain Hackett. owner of Yellow Tail, and mix it with our Missouri hay to induce her to eat. It will be an impossibility to get her ready for Saturdays race, and it would be an injustice to her, myself, the association and the public to think of starting her. She will be ready later on, and when she does start, I want the pnblic as well as myself to think that she is fit to win." Lackland established a new hurdle record at a mile and three-quarters Wednesday by rnn-I ning the distance in 3:121. The previous rec- ord, 3 :16, was made by Ben Eder, May 24, 1HW.
