GOSSIP OF THE TURF. Concerning the sale of Endurance by Right to W. C. Whitney, the New York Bun of Friday said: "William C. Whitney added the champion filly Endurance by Right, by Inspector B. Early Morn, yesterday to his already formidable string of two-year-olds. At Morris Park it was announced that John E. Madden purchased the great filly from John W. Bchorr of Memphis on Wednesday night and that Madden then sold her yesterday morning to Mr. Whitney for a price that was generally reported to be 5,000. In securing Endurance by Bight Mr. Whitney not only purchases her running qualities, but will also send her to his breeding establishment when her career on the track is ended. It was currently reported yesterday that Mr. Madden merely acted for Mr. Whitney in the transaction and that Mr. Bchorr recieved 5,000 for the daughter of Inspector B., but Mr. Madden insisted that two separate sales took place. It is understood that Clarence H. Mackay also had an option on the filly for 0,000 which he waived. In taking Endurance by Right into his stable, Mr. Whitney has the pick of the two-year-old division, barring, of course, Mr. Mackays Heno, winner of the Matron Stakes, and L. M. Myers Leonora Loring, who won the Great Filly Stakes, but was disqualified because of a technical error in her entry. Mr. Whitney now has Nasturtium, for whom he paid 0,000; Yankee, the Futurity winner; Goldsmith, a superb racehorse, who is believed to have a brilliant future ; King Han-over, a stake winner; Gold Seeker, a rattling good colt; Blue Girl, winner of many rich Btakes, and considered the best filly out, until Endurance by Right demonstrated her marvelous speed and stamina ; ProtoriouB, Metalbert, Gunfire and other crack youngsters. With Endurance by Right added to this list, it can be seen that in the big three-year-old events next year Mr. Whitney will cut a wide swath." T. H. Stevens has in training at his Walnut Hill farm, under the care of F. E. Driver, the following yearlings. These yearlingB are an exceptionally fine lot and can run fast : Chestnut colt, by Wadsworth Fonsie dam of Wyoth, Tom Cromwell, by King Alfonso.
