NOTES OF THE TURF. J. 0. Core, the three-year-old son of Garry Herman Purity in the Newcastle Stable, had his ears badly frost-uittcu and the tips arc gone. Jockey Prior, who rode Martin Doyle in the Brighton Handicap yesterday, put in his time last winter as a brakeman on a railroad in Canada. James McLaughlin, Jr.. is getting together a small string to race on the Canadian circuit. He lias leased from J. Diggins the two-year-old filly, Helen Green, and is negotiating with K. T. AVilson, Jr., for the two-year-olds Saltram and Dominant. AVondcr when our racing in the east will advance to the stage of the infield filled with coaches, carriages, well-dressed women and men, as it is in Europe, and as it was at the unfortunately defunct AVashington Park, Chicago. In England, one afternoon, the great jockey, "Moray" Cannon was thrown from his horse in a race, and rolled under the infield fence, to find himself brought up at a coach lunch party. The hostess quietly remarked: "Hon do you do, Mr. Cannon? Will you take a glass of champagne and some lunch?" Sports of the Times.
