NOTES OF THE TURF. Hernando has been given preparation for the Hawthorne Handicap, which will be run on the opening day of the Chicago Jockey Club meeting Saturday next. His weight is 119 pounds, and in his work all spring he has done all which has been asked of him. On Saturday morning he went a mile in company with the imported horse Red Comyn, and covered the distance in 1:43*. Hernando has been backed in the winter books by his owner to win this stake. Senator ZUorrison, a bay colt three years old, by St. Saviour — Fredericka, owned by C. R. Ellison, died at Louisville Sunday morning of stomach trouble. The colt has been sick for a week or more and was supposed to be getting well. The hot wave which set in caused a turn for the worse, however, and he died. L. V. Bell has sold the crack four-year-old Hermis to E. R. Thomas for the reported price of 0,000. It is a notable transaction and shows that the new-comer on the turf is not disposed to chaffer over the price when he wants a horse. C. N. "W., Chicago. McChesneys fastest record at a mile was made when as a two-year-old, carrying 80 pounds, he won in 1:395 at Hawthorne September 2, 1901. C. W., Chicago. As Rankin did not start he could not be coupled with Huzzah in the betting. E. M., Chicago. If your statement of the case is correct, your parlay should win .
