LOCAL TURF GOSSIP. Jockey Prior, who rode Marion Lynch, was suspended for four days by starter Dwyer for his bad behavior at the post. "Doc" Rowell returned yesterday from New York, where he has been in attendance at the horse sales. He purchased the three-year-olds Champagne and Bon Mot and will race them on the local tracks. While the horses were at the post for the second race Fitzkanet kicked Fake with such force that it fractured his shoulder. Muresca, which was bid up to ,200 in a selling race at Worth and taken from "Frisco" Lind.was yesterday returned to her former owner for 00. A rumor reached the Judges yesterday that Messrs. Walden and Morris good two-year-old filly, tueen Elizabeth, which was a starter in the Quickstep Stakes, had her eye knocked out by a blow from jockey Blakes whip. The Judges during the afternoon sent for Mr. Walden and Blake with a view of ascertaining the facts in the case. It goes without saying that should it be proved that the jockey knocked .the fillys eye out, he will be punished severely. B. J. Bolichs Eival Dare, while being taken across the main track to the inner one, got the better of little Seeley, her exercise boy, and before he could stop the mare she crashed into some chains stretched across the track, which were up as a warning to owners not to work any horses on the main track. Rival Dare did not sustain much injury, but the boy was picked up and taken to the JSnglewood Union Hospital. Dr. Beese, after a careful examination of the boys injuries thought they may prove fatal.
