GOSSIP OF THE TURF. Lucien Lyne, who has made such a success during the past season riding for the Keene stable in England, has arrived home at Lexington, Ky., from New York City. In response to an inquiry Lyne says that he will not go to New Orleans or elsewhere to ride for any one during the winter, as has been reported. It is his intention to spend the entire winter season at home, with the exception of a hunting trip which he purposes to take. Regarding his arrangements for next season he says: "It is uncertain at this time what arrangements will be made for my next seasons work, but it is highly probable that I shall remain in the United States and ride for the Keene stable. I doubt very much if I shall go to England to ride next year. England is all right in her races, and any jockey can make money if he rides square. I have had a hard seasons work, and propose to rest up now until spring." The stable of Frank Bruhns and Co., including Ice "Water, Harding and other good ones, has arrived at Nashville.
