j j j 1 1 . NOTES OF THE TURF. j W. H. Laudeman, the well-known bookmaker and turfman, who recently bought the interest of Mrs. Byron McClelland in the 0,000 business college building at Lexington, Ky has named the building in honor of Hernando, his race horse which won the Latonia Derby and other big races. The "Hernando Building" is the way tho big building will be known in Xho future. La Sorella. the well-known mare and tbe dam of severairgood stake horses, died very suddenly on last Wednesday night at Lexington, Ky. She was owned by Capt. Thomaa J. Clay and belonged to the Balgowan Stud. She waB the dam of Capron and Suma, two good stake horses, and of Sumatra, The Brother and Ernest Parham, which are good performers on the turf. About lOIperJcent fewer two-year-olds ran on tho English turf in 1901 than in 1900. This is considered a hopeful sign by thoso who contend that tho excessive racing of young horses is a bad thing for the future of the thoroughbred. MayoriJuliustFleischmann of Cincinnati will give a sterling silver cup as a special prize for a race fori: two-year-olds, to be run at Latonia next spring. Tho race will be known as the Cincinnati Cup. M. T., Chicago. A parolee bet on Little Elkin place andJAzim place, December 21, did not win. Azims stable companion, Ben Chance, winning cut no figure. $ Such bets hinge solely on the running of the horses named in the wager. Little Willie Knapp made his first appearance on the Coast Christmas day, riding Bragg in the last race. He made a favorable impression with the crowd present. Tom Shannon has left Lexington, Ky,, for New Orloans, where he will spend the remainder of the winter. He will not make book until tho!Memphia meeting. T, H. Stevens, the Kentucky turfman, it is said, will make application for reinstatement at the January meeting of the stewards of the Western Jockey Club. Tom Meade rode another winner at New Orleans Thursday, winning on Myth. Meade is steadily improving and has the making of a clever light weight. BurniejBunton has been shipped to the Texas ranch of her owner, J. F. Newman, who will rest herluptfor the St. Louis and Chicago meetings next year. C. J. Fitzgeralds starting at New Orleans has been uniformly good. Ho has excellent control of the boyB and gets his fields off with promptness. JockeyIBonnerhas been indefinitely suspended at Charleston S. C. for foul riding tactics. Spencer and Bullman appear to be riding out of luck at Oakland recently. "Skeets" Martin is spending tho winter in Egypt.
