NOTES OF THE TURF. The yearling chestnut filly by Sir Dixon Marina, and the half brother to Kris Kringle and The Deceiver Bruine colt, owned by H. M. Ziegler, the Cincinnati theatrical manager, were recently sent a quarter at the Kentucky Association track in 231 seconds. This makes ten of Zieglers. coming two-year-olds that have worked the distance in 24 seconds or better. The noted four-year-old colt Holstein, by Hanover Anna Grey, which won many races in America and England under the colors of W. C. Whitney and was afterward bought by Sir George Thursby, was sold recently to J. Macdonald of New York. Holetein was shipped to New York last week on the steamship Minnehaha. S. G. Morton before his departure for New Orleans purchased from C. E. Brossman at private terms the three-year-old filly, Hoodwink, which he will race at the Crescent City this winter. Messrs. Gorman and Bauer have purchased from Martin Doyle the fast filly Mary Glenn, now at Latonia. The price was not made known, but it is presumed to bo a good one, as Mr. Doyle was particularly sweet on the filly.
