NOTES OF THE TURF. They are not breaking any too finely for Barney Schrsiber latoly. He got long prices against both Dewey and Trauer the other day from 15 to 30 to 1 and backed them. Both ran races that should have won, but through the luck which bo often spoils good things, they just showed their form well enough to make them short prices next timo and finished out-Bide of the money. Frank McHahon, who recently returned from a brief trip to England and France, says a number of the jockeys riding there will go to California this winter, Among them are Jenkins, "Skeets" Martin and Buchanan. Jenkina has been very successful and has all kinds of money. McMahon Bays Charley Thorpe is looking splendid and that riding still agrees with the "grand old man." There are a few horses left at Latonia. The strings of Baker and Gentry and Lee Smitha and Co. have been shipped to Lexington. The Bel-lew outfit has left for Owensboro, to be turned out for the winter; Fred Cooks Btring will go back to Ht. Louis that is the beBt of them, and this will laave only the etables of Borne Bespess, Joe Pugh and one or two others on the grounds. The BtableB of the Highland Park Jockey Club were burned to the ground late Sunday afternoon. In all about 900 stalls were destroyed. The grandstand and hotels on the grounds were all that escapod. It is thought that the fire waB of incendiary origin. There will be chance for any horses to be wintered there, as haB been the practice in the past. Messrs E, W. and Willie Applegate, Fred Nelson, Lon Biehl and Jim McClelland left Cincinnati last Saturday night for California. Colonel Applegate .said that he regarded tho Latonia meeting as the greatest held there in ten years. From a betting standpoint it was one of the best in the history of the club. The five firms who head the liBt of winning mounts at Latonia were "outlaws" until just before the meeting opened, when the two big batches of reinstatements were pushed through. A glance at the liBt will show that without the bo called "outlaws" tho meeting at Latonia would have been a Blim one. The Harry Whit? train h v arrived at New Orleans with sixteen car loads of horses shipped from Lakeside. The trip waa made without a mishap. j
