NOTES OF THE TURF. The first day of the San Antonio, Texas, fair was held without any races being run, owing to the flooded condition of the track. Jockey Hufliam, who went to New York last Thursday to ride Dulcian, fell off that horse while schooling him at Aqueduct and broke his arm. The application of Messrs. Bordes and Darmes for a receiver for the Louisiana Driving and Racing Club has been denied by Judge St. Paul of New Orleans and an appeal has been taken. The railroad companies are taking cashiers checks from horse owners at Latonia to pay freight charges. This is permitting many of the stables to get away for the south as fast as cars are obtained. Al Kocnigsberger, who has been booking at the New York tracks during the summer, passed through Chicago last night on his way to Oakland. He will take up his horses, which are now at the track, and fit them for racing immediately upon his arrival. John W. Gates has not attended the races since his return from Paris, his attention being occupied with the stock market, but his son Charles G. Gates was at Aqueduct Saturday and Is credited with winning a big sum by bucking Lotus Brandt in the last race. One of the horses now pulling a harrow on the Aqueduct track is Dolando, now fourteen year old. Dolaiulo is a bay gelding by Powhattan Barbiche and was successfully raced on the tracks around New York by Frank J. Farrell and others anil frequently ridden by Willie, Shaw in 1900 and 1901.
