CHOKERS BIG RACING ESTABLISHMENT. Advices recently received from Ireland are to the effect that Richard Crokers racing establishment, known as Maddenstown Lodge, is the largest and most pretentious in the Emerald Isle. It is under the management of J. J. Parkinson, who, up to 1004, was a successful rider and a disciple of the American seat. Maddenstown Lodge itself shelters nearly a hundred thoroughbreds. In the great quadrangle at the lodge there is room for eighty, while near by, at Straw Hill, there are boxes or many more. The stables are equipped with electric light and all other modern conveniences.
