NOTES OF THE TURF. J. K., Kansas City. From our own correspondents exclusively. H. W. T Chicago. Witfull has started in twenty-seven races, won four, been second once and third twice. P. J. Nolan has added Monos to his string. He bought the horse from Willie Martin. The price paid is said to be ,000. Constant Reader : The horse was plainly printed Bummer II. in the entries and you were bound to take notice that it was not the old Bummer. Your wager lost. Abe Garson has sold to J.W. Pangle the two-year-old, Bank Holiday, by Ben Holladay Gypsy. The filly iB a half-sister to Flying Torpedo, and the price was 00. A. C. L., Chicago. The track on the day you specify was not fast or hardly in the state ordinarily called good, but was as called in our chart, meaning that in a day more without rain it would rate from good to fast. The two broodmares Alice V.. by Saxon Wildfire, by Wildidle, and Elite, by Eland Peri, by GleDgarry, owned by Major T. J. Carson, are dead of pneumonia at Dixiana Farm. Both mares were famous producers and were in foal. The recent experiments of the track superintendent at the New Orleans Fair Grounds in running an asphalt burner over bad holes in the going are likely to prove successful. A deep spot at the finish was so treated with the result that it was almost as hard as macadam. Dan OBrien, the trainer of moving pole notoriety, has purchased of Edward Frazer, of Lexington, Ky., for a private but long price, around ,500, the three-year-old chestnut colt Longino, by Long-flight Fannie W. Fonso, by Fonso. The colt was raced by J.. C. Milam last season.
