I NOTES OF THE TTJRB. Information from California is to the effect that Col. W. E. Applegato and Secretary Price havo had trouble, which has resulted in the Colonels taking down his Blato after losing 525.000. It is said that Bookmaker Frank Bain has also had trouble with Secretary Price, and that he and Colonel Applegato will leave the coast at once for New Orloans. Tho roport sent out frotn San Krancisco recently that Henry Sponcar, the jockey, was suffering with incipient consumption, is incorrect. Spencer refused to accept any mounts during the wet spall, which probably gava rise to the report of his illness. At New Orleans yesterday jockey Nutt was suspended indefinitely because of an unsatisfactory rido on Frank Ireland,. and Gormley was fined 5 for beating Precursor over the head in theecond race. GaTy Hermann racently worked a milo at Louisville, Ky., in -1:45. Capt. 8. 8 Brown, of Pittsburg, his ownor, thinks no will run back to his two-year-old form next yoar. L. M. and Co., Little Bock, Ark. Eaternoll was 7 to 10 show at the track and if tho wagar was based on track odds A. is entitled to 7. In any event ho is entitled to 0 back. Frank ONeill, the St. Loais jockoy, who is riding for "Missouri" Jonniogs at Oakland, is not riding in good form. Ho has not done much as yet since his arrival on tho coast, a Prince Blazes appears to ba nowhere near hie best form. When fit, he would havo little trouble beating horses like Joo Doughty, ospc-ially throngh soft going Eastern critics like "Tommy" OBriens riding at New Orloans. O Brien was maeting with much succesB up to the time he broke his clavicle. Trainer Butch Fisher has left tho employ of L. V. Bell.
