i NOTES OF THE TURF. J. W. May, the well-known trainer, is on his way to Memphis to spend a few weeks with John W. Schorr. Jockey C. Ross is quickly recovering from the injuries he sustained in a bad fall at Oakland November 16, and it will not ho long before the boy will be riding again. Harry Mack is of the opinion that Love of Gold, which was badly cut down in her last start, although ruined for racing purposes, may be saved for the stud unless blood poisoning develops. Sam Rothert. who trained George J. Longs horses at Santa Aulta Park last season, was one of the late arrivals at Los Angeles. His only interest in racing at present is that of a spectator. Dauuy Maher. who leads the winning jockeys in England this year, added more luster to his name when, making his debut over the hurdles at Kemn-ton Park yesterday, ho won the Staines Handicap on Dafila. Anna May has certainly proved a consistent winner for her owner. T. O. Webber, since the opening of the Oakland season.

Daly, who was refused a jockeys , license last year by the California Jockey Club, is making a strenuous effort to be restored to good standing.
