LOCAL TURF GOSSIP. Mr. Corrigan said yesterday that he made the protest against Scarlet Lilys race of August 28, in which his mare Artena was second, not wit! the idea of taking the purse away from owner Tracey, but in order to protect himBolf and other horsemen racing here. Some days ago the "Chicago Jockey Club received a telegram from Secretary Hanlon, of the eaetern Jockey Club, in answer to an inquiry, stating that Tracey was on the outlaw list. The Western Jockey Club has a rule which outlaws any owner who races his horses against an outlawed horse. Mr. Corrigan said he merely entered his protest in order to protect himself from the penalties of this rule. Complications are involved in the case from the fact that for the last two years Tracey has been racing under licenses granted by both The Jockey Club and Western Jockey Club. Jockey Buchanan has contracted to ride for Darnell and Herz in California next winter.
