NOTES OF THE TURF. Two weeks ago Frank Farrell announced that he would sell all of his horses, except a few two-year-bldB. The sale, originally scheduled for last Saturday, was postponed until today, but, as no preparations have been made to hold it, it is inferred that a further delay has been decided upon. Meanwhile Farrell has been winning some big botB on the success of Blues and The Musketeer, so that turfmen "are" inclined to the belief that-he may have changed his mind. Joe Pughs stable is now quartered attheDelmar track, and will take part in the racing at St. Louis until the time arrives for the opening at Latonia. Jockey Castro, who is under contract to do the riding for the season for the Pugh outfit, has been released. Castros work was not to the satisfaction of the big chief, and he ordered trainer Hall to get rid of him, and this was accomplished through a money consideration. Papintfl, the famous dancer, will race a string of thoroughbreds during the fall season on the California tracks. She has a fine stable of racers at her stock farm in training for the coming campaign on the local tracks. The stable will be under the personal supervision of Papinta, who has quite a reputation as a lover of outdoor sports. J. H. M., Chicago. 1 Circus was "out" to show in the second Friday. 2 An entry is one or more horses and if one is left in wagers stand. Inquirer, Chicago. It was G. Wilson who rode MacLaren September 18.
