NOTES OF THE TUBS. An agreement haB been reached batwoen George Bose and the management of the New California Jockey Club whereby Mr. Bose will assume charge of the field books undor a loaso, Up to date this season the association has been running the field books itself. At first they were awarded to Jerry Driacoll and Sam Bainey, but they declined to accept them after the price of admission to the track was raised to .50. Lingo is ehowing to much better advantage at New Orleans than she Bhowed around Chicago this year. She won a race early last spring when Sam Hildreth owned her. After Hildreth let her go she trained off and only ran a fair race or two up to the end of the racing season here. She is a much better filly over, a dry track than in the mud. The New Orleans Picayune says that Coburn threw a race away with Alpaca last Tuosday by taking herwide at the head of the head of the stretch and losing at least six lengths. The -willing mare came on fast after he got her straightened but she could not quite get up to Echo Dale at the, end, bsing beaten by the shortest of heads. Dorothy Lee appears to be getting back to the good form she displayed about this time last year, She has started four times at tb.9 present New Orleans meeting, winning twice, running third once and finishing once outside the money. She was away off here this year and never showed once to any advantages zM Coburn has ridden nearly as many winners as any two other jockeys at New Orleans, having fourteen winning mounts to his credit. OBrien and Cochran have each won eight races, Domi-nick, six; Lyne, five; T. Dean and Otis, four each; Blake, Gormley and Dale, each three. Thomas Magie, who will manage the horses of L. V. Bell, the New York millionaire, has arrived in San Francisco from New York. He brought with him Dunn, a lightweight jockey, whose contract with Mr. Schreiber Mr. Bell has purchased. Thomas Davies haB fired several of the horses in his string at Newport, Ky., and will turn them out until spring. DavieB made no application for reinstatement by the Western Jockey Club and haB not made up his mind as to the future. JoBeph W. Pughs three-year-old chestnut colt Uledi, by Fonso Eva B has lung fever and is in a very bad condition at Latonla, Ey. Trainer John Hall says he thinks the colt will recover. Burnie Bunton, which was undoubtedly the best sprinter here this fall, is rounding to herself at New Orleans and may be expected to cut quite a figure in all sprint affairs from now on. Fred Cooks string now at New OrleanB in charge of W. E. Phillipa are not quite ready yet, Small Jack being the only one to show to any advantage. "Bill" Henry and "Dore" Silver have arrived at New Orleans. This is Henrys first winter in the southern city. Clem Jenkins will be in Ban Francisco in about a month and will then accept mounts.
