NOTES OF THE TURF. Tlie leading New Zealand jockey, S. Reed. lias gone to Buenos Ayres with a big retainer to ride for three stables. F. Ambrose Clarkes juniper, Hylda, is wintering at her owners country place on Long Island and when the time comes to take her up she will again be turned over to Silas Veitch to train. ,T. R. Wainwrights stable, including Trance, Al Muller, Intrinsic and Royal Captive, is due at Churchill Downs from .Tnarez. Jockeys N. Kennedy and H. Tones are with the shipment. Kennedy will go to West linden Springs with Mr. Wainwright to rest until the spring meeting opens at Lexington. John Schlosser, a young horseman from Washington who lias been with A. J. .Toyner as foreman for nianv vears, will not go back to England this season. Schlosser was with the North Carolina horseman who is handling the Whitney horses at Newmarket in 190! and 1910. He will likely train in this country, having under consideration at present a proposition to enter the employ of Frederick Johnson. It is probable that Peter Fleming will succeed to Schlos-sers job as foreman of the Whitney stable in England. He was the late John W. Rogers right-hand man. Tkc horses of August Belmont that have loen in charge of John Whalen at Garnett. S. C. will be shipped to Norfolk next week. The weather has been ideal for training in South Carolina and the members of the string to be pointed for racing at the meeting of the Jamestown Jockey Club are quite forward. Fifteen are in the lot. including four threc-vo.ir-olds and eleven two-year-olds. The three-vear oids include Trap Rook. Watervalo. Flint Rock and Pvramid. .Toekevs Eddie Dugan and Paul Ma-deria "are galloping the horses at Mr. Belmonts southern quarters. They will ride first and second respectively in the maroon, scarlet and black silks this season. The Hamilton Spectator uses the wrong expression when it savs Toronto will experiment with the pari-inutucls tliis sprlnir. The experimental stage was long ago passed with the mutnels. No place that over had lhcm ever went hack to the old method, and no bookmaking will ever lw seen again at Woodbine. This is tlie settled policy of the Ontario Jockey Club, and the others will follow in a short time. The Ontario Jockey Club holds steadily by Sir Wilfred Lnuriors policy for Canada: " can not stand still: we must go ahead." Whatever measure of success lias heen achieved under old conditions will be increased under tlie new system. -Toronto Globe.
