GOSSIP OF THE TURF. The Gorman and Bauer string of a dozen thoroughbreds, including Jack Rattlin, Bar- dolph, Lem Reed, Glen Mary, Satchel, etc., Trill winter at Oakley Park. Arrangements Jbave ,been made between Mr. Gorman and Secretary Campbell for occupancy of the old Fleischmann barn, and it will be put in shape for the reception of the horses within the next ten days. The string is at present at Latonia, where one of the filliies has a very high fever. For a while, Messrs. Gorman and Bauer were considering the proposition of sending three or four horses to California to race this winter, but the idea was given up a few days ago. Ed Corrigan has lost by death the famous race mare and stud matron, Jennie Treacy, by Falsettto Queen "Victoria, by Lexington. Jennie Treacy was a noted turf performer and the crack filly of her year as a two-year-old. She was nineteen years old, and her best produce was the good racehorse, Adolph Spreckels. The full report from Cor-rigans farm shows that this year the noted turfman has lost by death eleven other horses, two broodmares, one three-year-old, five two-year-olds and three yearlings, the list of which follows: Telephone Girl, b. m, 5, by Edthen Effie C, by Buckden. Sister Modiste, b. m, 7, by Sir Modred Half Sister, by Hindoo. Siege, br. f, 3, by Artillery Agnes IV., by Albert. Guinotte, br. c, 2, by Halma Armida, by Darebin. Chestnut colt, 2, by St. Florian Albertha, by Volturno. Bay filly, 2, by Artillery Tempest, by Longfellow. Bay filly, 2, by Riley Lucille Murphy, by Isaac Murphy. Bay colt, 1, by Governor Foraker Sea Gull II., by Himyar. Bay filly, 1, by Falsetto Spring Time, by Leonatus. Chestnut filly, 1, by Faverdale Puzzolana, by Alarm. Richard Croker, who is personally training a dozen horses at Letcombe, "Wantage, will apparently alone represent American owners in England next season. His horses are en-tened in both the English and Irish meetings. The horses of Messrs. Leigh, Gardiner and Duke have been transferred to Paris, where most of the American jockeys now in England will go next year. The largest winner of the season on the English turf has been Sir James Miller, who has carried off 13,000 in stakes. His Derby winner, Rocksand, was the most successful horse of the year. The season otherwise has been memorable for the reverses of the most prominent plunger of the last decade, Robert Sievier, who had to sell his brilliant mare Sceptre to Capt. William Bass, a son of the great brewer, for 125,0,00, to cover his betting losses.
