GOSSIP OF THE TURF. J. J. Marklein, who brought out Garry Hermann, Malvolio, Tom Cogan, Dr. Walker and many other Rood youngsters that cost insignificant sums, las again spent modest sums in the investment of yearlings that will face the starter first in 1903. Since Marklein severed connection with L. V. Bell, the wealthy New Yorker, aB trainer of that stable in 1899, taking with him the supposed-to-be "culls" of the stable, which proved to be The Mecca, Garry Hermann and other winners which turned out to be good colts, he has been dubbed the "lucky Dutchman," and his investments this year show no high-priced colts or fillies, but he is expected to develop winners from the following list. The most paid was 50 and the cheapost was 00. J J. Markleiue coming two-year-olds now yearlings are : Chestnut colt, by Russell Sunny Lock. Brown or bay lilly, by Russell Glonnetta.

Joe Ullmans colors will be seen on the turf again in 1903 for the first time since the mighty Raceland carried them to many victories. A quintet of juveniles, all richly bred, for which fancy prices were paid at the last June sales near Sheepshead Bay, are being watched by the bookmaker for good results, and thus far none of them has failed to show speed in their preliminary work. Ullmans baby racers are: Chestnut filly, by Handsome Florry Myers. Bay filly, by Esher Matron. Bay filly, by Pirate of Penzance Mannie Hunt. Bay colt, by Esher Van-a-Clar. Lady Walter, ch. f, by Sir Walter Lady Lake. The most expensive youngster bought by Ullman was the Esher colt, which was knocked down to the bookmaker for ,500 after a spirited contest with C. R. Ellison. Durnell and Herz have protested the payment of first money in the Crescent City Handicap, which was won by Moor last Saturday to A. Simons. The claim is made that the entry of the horse was irregular, but it is not likely any action will be taken in the matter by the stewards. After Saturdays entries appeared on Friday it was found Major Mansir was the only one of Simons horses entored, and tho latter called the attention of the entry clerk to the fact and claimed he also bad entered Moor. The horse was afterward added The entry clerk says ho did not hear Simons tell him to enter Moor. As Simons had asked permission of the stewards the previous day to work out both horses, and told them he was going to start Moor and Major Mansir in Saturdays stake, the question which the stewards will have to decide is whether or not the entries which appear are official.
