GOSSIP OF THE TURF. Frank Farrell, after Bonniberts defeat Tuesday, decided to sell Blues, Bonnibert, The Musketeer, De Reszke, Five Nations and others at public sale on Saturday next. He reached a similar conclusion several months ago, but afterward changed his mind and purchased Mayor Fleischmanns interest in Blues for a stiff price. On the same day as the sale of the Farrell horses, C. F. Dwyors Francesco and Deimeland Dwyers Africander will be sold. Major Daingerfleld, the three-year-old colt which won the Annual Champion Stakes at Sheepshead Bay on Saturday, is not as seriously injured as was at first thought. Trainer Matt Allen turned the horse out Sunday morning for a walk along the Boulevard and he reported lator in the day that the injury to the fleet son of Handspring was trifling. Major Daingerfleld received a cut on the near foreleg above the kneeduring the race. Jockey Odom thinks it was inflicted in the first quarter while the horses were striding loose. Another attempt was begun at Mondays session of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to reopen Ingleside race track in the suburbs of that city, when Supervisor Lynch introduced an ordinance regulating horse racing and buying and selling of cools. The bill provides that it shall be unlawful for any person or corporation to conduct horse races for a longer period than forty days or to buy pools or make books or bets except within an inclosed race track, and only upon horse races hold within inclosure and conducted within a limit of forty days.
