GOSSIP OF THE TUB. Capt. S. 8. Brown will winter his yearlings at Mobile. That was decided at a conference between him and trainer Peter Wimmer after the Fairview sale. The whole stable will go to Kentucky at the close of the Westchester meeting and the bulk of the horses will winter there at Captain Browns newly purchased farm, which he has christened the Senorita Stud. The farm was formerly the property of S. J. Sal-yers, who raced Big Sandy and other horses in the 70s with fair success. Until about December 1 there will be no division of the stable. Then Peter Wimmer will take a selected batch of the yearlings to Mobile, where Captain Brown still retains the old Bascombe racecourse as a training ground. It is an ideal spot within tho limits of the Gulf City, and it was there that Blue Wing, Troubadour and other great horses were prepared. If the New Orleans meeting fulfills present expectations, a division of the Brown stable maybe Bent to the Crescent City to race, and jockey Odom, from his Georgia home, will go down there to ride. Mabel Winn will not go along, as she was sold yesterday" to a Philadelphian, a Mr. Conran. Price not stated, but believed to be in the neighborhood of ,000. Blue Ribbon has been quite lame since his race for the Matron Stakes. The colt was a bit sore going to the post, but had shown better form than at any time this season. E. C. Cowdin has ordered his famous band of brood mares, some twenty head, which have beau located in Kentucky for several years, at the Ashland farm of T. C. McDowell, shipped to his home place at Mt. Kisco, N. Y. He has determined to permanently retire his horse, Requital, to the stud, and will broad him to the majority of his mares. Among the noted stud matrons Cowdin has hero is Longshore, the dam of Applegate, Winged Foot and Kitefoot, one of tho most celebrated of all living thoroughbred brood mares.
