, GOSSIP OF THE TURF. Everyone knows "Mike" Clancy, and everyone . will be pleased to hear that his bread winner "Maxie" is back in his stable. It is an equine romance . Maximo Gomez was taken away from him out of a selling race, and "Mike" has been going around with blood in his eyes ever since. Hope rose high in his bosom on several occasions when "Maxie" was entered in a selling race but the blue pencil did its fatal work and Clancy was not given a chance. On Friday Maximo Gomez won the last race just as he pleased after Lindula had made the pace all around. As the numbers went up. a vast crowd surged as one man around the judges stand. They knew there was "blud on tha mune," and went to see the fun. So excited was Clancy he could not wait to go around but vaulted like an athlete over the high fence and commenced bidding. He is not a rich man and was nervous as to whether he could last to the limit. Then a certain wealthy owner whispered in his ear : "Go as far as you like. Ill see you through. Then a radiance spread over Clancys face and he let himself out. First *1.800. ,905. ,005, .12,205 —the odd being the "dodger" of F. M. Taylor, the current owner. Then "Mike" was mad. "Twenty-foive hunred," said he with a whip of emphasis, and Taylor gasped and showed his hand. "Hes yours." Then the crowd yelled and cheered. Clancy never heard them. He had "Maxies" halter in his hand, and "Maxies" nose rubbing against his shoulder, and he knew nothing more and cared less. That night "Maxie" Blept in his old stall, and it is rumored that he had ■ two-legged companion — but thats another story. —Spirit of The Times.

Ernest Brandon, for many years in the em ploy of the Coney Island Jockey Club and other racing associations, died suddenly of apoplexy at the Eureka Hotel, Sheepshead Bay. No clue could be found in his effects as to the address of any relatives. Mr. Brandon issued the owners and trainers tickets at Westchester and Brooklyn and had charge of the checking up of tickets at Sheepshead Bay for many years. He was a man well liked by his associates and generally esteemed and respected. One of the uncertainties of the horse world was illustrated a few days ago when P. Loril-lard sold The Chamberlain for 00. This horse ie by Lisbon — Patrimony, the brother of Keenan. He worked exceedingly well last year and was, apparently, full of promise. John E. Madden had him entered in the Futurity, the English Derby, and a number of valuable events, and his purchase price was 0,000. He started a number of times, but was a failure. Some day, in an obscure field, he may, possibly, paralyze everything in sight. It i- a way these castoffs have. The horses belonging to Baker and Gentry, a firm, the very mention of whose name in racing circles hitherto has been the synonym of good luck, have been shipped to Lexington to recover from the evil effects of a wholesale attack of catarrhal fever. This is the first years bad luck the stable has ever suffered, but there may be some compensation in having their capable trainer. Jack Baker, on hand to try out the yearling- which are now being galloped on the Kentucky Association track. Anna Bain had only a mild attack of the disease, and, with anything like their usual break in luck, the flying daughter of Kingston will make up for lost time during the autumn racing season.— Thoroughbred Record.
