GOSSIP OF THE TTJRF. At Brighton Beach last Sunday by far the most conspicuous work of the morning was furnished by the Clarence W. Mackay string when Trainer C. N. Hill sent the great Bauastar a six furlong turn in 1 :15. The trick was done without urging, and Mr. Mackay. who is now attending the Paris Exposition, may be assured that he has a good horse to carry his colore at Saratoga, where Banastar has many engagements. Last years Brooklyn winner has been gone slow with during the summer owing to having thrown a slight splint, but that being entirely eradicated, under Mr. Hills care the great racer is bound to show to the good when the Mackay colorB are donned. — Morning Telegraph. Some Nashville men, more or lr-s interested in turf affain, have gone to work to boom a race meeting which they propose to hold at El Paso, Tex., in the fall, following the Dallas State Fair. The city of El Paso owns a half-mile track near the town, and it is understood that the Nashville promoters have secured control of the plant, with the promise of financial help by the enterprising citizens of the town. El Paso is a city of 20,000 souls, and is said to be one of the best betting towns in the country. It has lately become a popular resort for people with weak lungs and strong purees, and by the influx of this class of people the population of the town is almost doubled during the winter months. It is said that some of the moneyed men of the town stand ready to furnish the necessary capital to build a good mile track there in the event the proposed meeting proves a success. James R. Keene headed the list of winning owners at the Sheepshead Bay meeting with a total of 9,130 to his credit. Prince of Melbournes victory in the Realization placed F. D.
