NOTES OF THE TURF. D. O. C, Chicago. The American Sporting Manual gives the information you wish. A C. H., Peoria, 111. An entry is one or more horses. See reply to Erb. Foley, Chicago. Articulate won ten straight races last year. F. Bros. and Co., Chicago. We have no record of True Blue having started more than twice since May 19 last. B. W. G., Chicago. Backers of Sylvia Talbot lost. F. W., Chicago. Otter Tail Is by Pirate of , Penzance— Pixy, and last started at Detroit July 30, 1902. Erb, Peoria. McChesney was not part of a Hildreth entry. He was coupled with Fa-vonius because Hildreth trains him. There is no reason why he should have been so coupled. When Turf Congress rules governed western racing coupling was required by rule, but those rules are as dead as Julius Caesar, and the Western Jockey Club rules take no cognizance of betting. As to the point you raise, a wager to cover both horses should have read Smathers and Hildreth entry.
