GOSSIP OF THE TURF. Emmas defeat in tho last raco at Latonia Monday caused a tilt between Starter Brown CONTINUED ON BEOOND XQS, GOSSIP OF THE TUBF. Continued from First Page. and John Hall, trainer for Joe Pngh, in whose stable Erema is kept. After the race Hall made some remark about the start. Brown heard it, and, walking over to Hall, said: "If you dont like the starting you need not start any." Hall then proceeded to call Brown and for a few moments it looked as If a mix-up might follow, as neither Hall cor Brown are of the kind to run away from a fight. Just when the clash was expected Judge PerkinB came up, and, addressing Brown, caid : "I dont want any arguing or fighting on this race track, Mr. Brown. If you engage in and fight here I will see to it that you are ruled off for life. I will give you the same warning, Mr. Hall." Friends of the two men then inter fared and they departed in opposite directions, Trainer Hall was under the impression that Erema was given the worst of the start. The form sheet shows that she got off sixth, just in front of Lyror Bell, the winner of the race. As a result of the dispute over the start of the last race, a match race waB arranged between Lyror Bell and Erema. P. J. Gorman, in whose name Erema is running, offered to bat ,000 that Erema can beat Lyror Bell. The wager was accepted by "Bob" McMillan and a forfeit put up. The race is to take place Saturday, providing the track is in good condition. It will be a six-furlong affair. A dispatch from Louisville to the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune of yesterday says : " W. O. Palmer, Secretary of the Douglass Park Track, was at the track today making final preparations for the fall meeting, which opens next Saturday and continues thirteen days. ThiB does not mean that the meeting will run but thirteen days, for if the weather continues favorable it will be extended till December 1. Although there has been very little time for preparation, Mr. Parmer has worked with zeal and the prospects for a successful meeting are excel-lsnt. The St. Louis meeting closes next Thursday, and already Assistant Secretary Parmer has been deluged by horsemen racing there for Btable room at Louisville. There will be fully twenty carloads here from St. Louis next Friday, and as there are 150 horses at the track cow there will be no dearth of good horses. Mr. Parmer gave out a partial list of the officials who will act during the coming meeting. John Morrow, of Nashville, will act as judge, .vith some well-known local man to officiate vfith him. William Bruen will wield the start-ocs flag and Lyman H. Davis, of Newport, will probably be clerk of the scales."
