GOSSIP OP THE TURP. "A large crowd assembled at the Kentucky Association race track last Monday to witness a number of trial races between some of the many yearlings now in training here. The most sensational performance of the day was scored by the brown filly by Belvidere St. Veronica, by The 111 Used, owned by J. E. McDonald, New York City. With 119 pounds up, she ran a quarter in 22 seconds, beating by two lengths and a half Dr. R. Bryans chest, nut filly by Faverdale Ethelinda, by Favor, timed separately in 23! seconds, with 112 pounds up. The next race was between the bay filly by Badge Heliopolis, by Sir Modred, and the chestnut filly by Kingston Sultaness, by St, Blaise, both owned by J. E. McDonald. The former won by a half length, running the quarter in 231 seconds. Each had 115 pounds up. Then followed a quarter of a mile dash between J. E. McDonalds bay colt by Badge Sea Food, by Powhattan, and W. E. Apple-gates brown colt by St. Florian Yolma, by Vol-ante, the latter carrying 114 to the formers 108 pounds. The Badge colt won by four lengths in 23 i seconds, the last eighth being run in 11 seconds," says The Thoroughbred Record. "The next race at a quarter of a mile found the victor in J. E. McDonalds bay colt by Badge Whita Seal, with 119 pounds up, by a neck, in a furious drive with W. E. Applegates colt by St. Florian Ever, with 128 pounds up, time 24 seconds. The McDonald pair, a chestnut filly by St. Florian Japonica, and a brown filly by Badge Lady Algy, then ran a quarter in 24 second, the former winning by a head. With the exception of the Faverdale filly, owned by Dr. Bryan, all of these youDgsters are in the stable of Jack Baker, a brother to R. L. Baker, one of the owners of the noted Kingston Stud." The weights for the Bronx Handicap, which is to be run over the last six furlongs of the Withers mile at Morris Park tomorrow, appear below. It is quite evident that Mr. Vosburgh thinks that Dick Welles is the best two-year-old in the land today or that he is determined not to let him get away with anything if weight can stop him. By the scale Dick Welles is set to concede three pounds to Chuc-tanunda, the demonstrated fastest horse in the east; the same to Hermis, five pounds to Blues, six pounds to Colonel Bill, thirteen pounds to Dublin, twenty-four pounds to Royal and a big concession to each other horse in the race. Mr. Respese can hardly feel gratified over such an overwhelming evidence of fear that his fast colt may win a stake race. The weights are as follows : Horses. Wt. Horses. Wt.
