GOSSIP OF THE TURF. E. R. Bradley, owner of Bad News, Captain Hugh Bradley and other racers, is the first of the owners with a string wintering at Memphis to name his youngsters. Mr. Bradley reached Montgomery Park from Chicago last Tuesday, and at once went out to the track to watch his coming hopefuls perform. He was well pleased with what his trainer, William Hurley, had to show him, and announced the names selected for the yearlings. They are: Golden Advice, b. f, by Free Advice Gold Mine. Lou, br. f, by Pirate of Penzance Helena. Rose Mary, ch. f, by Mirthful Ida. HE. Aunt Kate, ch. f, by Mirthful Agnes Weed. Dorothy Jordan, br. f, by Sir Dixon Adele. Mrs. Bob, b. f, by Russell Martyr. Fit Reform, ch. c, by Sorcerer Mary Fletcher. Palm Tree, ch. c, by Royal Emblem Saranac. Angalotta, ch. c, by Goodrich Linda Stone. Scotch Irish, ch. c, by The Commoner Bonnie Blue. Royalty, ch. c, by Woolsthorpe Estelle Whitney. Whirlwind, ch. c, by Charade Wing Shot. Myron, ch. c, by Handsel Battle Belle. Unnamed b. f, by Lissak Tara Blackburn. Mr. Bradley is confident he will secure at least seven good performers out of the lot. The work of the Mirthful fillies was especially pleasing, several going a quarter in :24 on a slow track after making a bad start. Depositions for Judge Perkins, who is the defendant in the suit brought by W. E. Ap-plegate to secure the setting aside of the sale of Latonia Jockey Club stock held as collateral by Perkins to secure notes given for the purchase of the Latonia racetrack have been filed in the Circuit Clerks office. The depositions of W. T. Irwin, broker, of Cincinnati; E. S. Lee, Cashier of the First National Bank, Covington, and Attorney Matt L. Harbeson, of Covington, were filed. Irwin deposed that no one representing Applegates interests called upon him the day the stock was sold in satisfaction of the lien of Perkins. Mr. Irwin testified that he had not told any one that the order to sell the stock had been withdrawn, neither could he recollect who bid in the stock the day of the sale. The depositions of Lee and Harbeson were in contradiction to the depositions of Attorney Pierce and Mark Simonton for Applegate, who testified that they stood ready to protect Applegates interests had they known that the stock was to be " sold at public auction. Captain Brown is expected at New Orleans at an early date. He pays an annual visit to hold confab with his trainer and to frame up the plans of the following season. These plans of the coming year have not yet been perfected. They will not be until Bob Tucker has had a chance of thoroughly sampling the material with which he is to do his racing. It is not even known yet whether there will be two strings or one racing next year. Tucker himself is spending his time between New Orleans and Memphis, taking care of horses at both ends of the line. He is also giving a side glance at Sheepshead Bay on occasion, to learn how the stable is coming on up there. With his hands full of training trouble, Tucker -is a busy man in what should be the off season. It will be many weeks yet before either he or Captain Brown will know anything of their intentions of the summer campaign.
